Transcript:

Huey: Hello? Is this the cable company? There seems to be a problem with my cable. I'm watching Black Entertainment Television, but I don't see anyone black and it's not entertaining. Cable company: OK, sir. We get this complaint all the time. Let me explain the problem...Presumably in an effort to not decrease the profit margin by actually investing in original programming, B.E.T. mostly plays infomercials and televangelists on Sundays. Riley: Hey, Huey. Still no black people and now they're talkin' about real estate!! Huey: Look, my grandfather pays good money for cable and when I turn on B.E.T., I want to see some people with some color! Cable company: I don't know what to suggest, sir - aside from adjusting the "hue" control. Huey: Riley, she said to try the "hue" control on the T.V. Riley: Well, now they're turning green but they're still talking about real estate.
