I hope the producers and executives at BET realize they can have a 30 minute series on their hand that would have an audience. It's like no other show with people of color on television. I want to see more if not a television series for these young actors then more then 3 to 5 minutes skits. We want to see more and learn more about these characters.

Good job...way to use that degree! She had an opportunity that few get and her she is on BET.com in some low budget "show". Why not use the degree to highlight the problems of the Black community and bring BET out of this downward spiral...anything for fame right?

The characters were boring, the plot was patently simplistic yet borderline unintelligible, it lacked the basic creative freedom you would expect from a series produced specifically for the web and it was unapologetically (if that's a word) stereotypical... which I really hoped it wouldn't be. In short, Tatyana Ali is an excellent actress with great potential if provided the right role, but "Buppies" was an overall disappointment and it is highly unlikely that I will be tuning back in to check out any of the following installments.
