Awww, shiet.
BET is bringing back the controversial show Uncut after it’s 9-year slumber. The show, which featured uncensored footage, caused quite a stir when it was on the air from 2001 to 2006. During that window, the series aired during the 3 a.m. EST time lot and featured videos that “many critics likened to amateur soft-core porn,” according to Vulture.
From Vulture:
When Uncut returns, it’ll re-join an industry even number to NSFW content that’s so readily available on social media and streaming sites. And BET won’t try to feign shock value: Uncut will now air weeknights at 11 p.m. EST, piggybacking its prime-time programming instead of going back to its after-dark hours. But what could BET possibly show viewers that they can’t already access on YouTube on their lunch break? That’ll likely be the Uncut reboot’s biggest challenge, but judging by the single artwork for Nelly’s new song “The Fix” with Jeremih, he might be back to trip up the censors once more.
It will be interesting to see how the new Uncut will fair in today’s media landscape. Will you be watching?
