Video: Harlem Gets Reality Treatment

Tonight BET airs their answer to the Laguna Beach/Hills/City series on MTV, called Harlem Heights. The half-hour show focuses on several African-American professionals living their dreams, searching for love, and all that other stuff that makes good reality show fodder. And it is more of a cookie cutter reality show than a docu-drama. TONY reviewed it last month, saying, "there’s not much gritty reality here—awkward gatherings come about in empty restaurants and bars, peppered with manufactured confrontations." But we'll take real moments like a street full of people hearing Obama has won the presidency over Whitney Port finding out her boyfriend cheated on her any day.
