Lifetime has reportedly cancelled their new BAPs TV show after four episodes. Two installments will remain unaired.
A reality show, BAPs follows a group of affluent African-American friends from St. Louis who self-identify as “BAPs” — Black American Princesses and Princes. The show debuted on July 23rd to weak ratings.
Today, the cast received bad news emails from Asylum Entertainment (which produces the show) which reads in part, “I wanted to let you know that Lifetime informed us that they will not be airing the last 2 episodes of BAPS. We’re very sorry it panned out this way. It’s very difficult to build an audience for an ensemble show like this one, but we’re very proud of the show and happy to have had the experience working with you.”
What do you think? Did you watch BAPs? Would you like to see the remaining episodes?
The show was lame. Just a bunch of educated “folk”, with regular people problems, still thinking they are better than others. SMH…you can find that in any major city in America.
I’m glad it was cancelled, it was just another misrepresentation…
Please air the last 2 episodes! Why cancel the show? It was different from the other reality tv.
BAPS was a bunch of bull crap, who cares about anything they were talking about. It was so annoying, also how long do you Girlfriend Intervention is going to be on too. Who cares
I watched the show because I always give black folks a chance. But, this show was just ridiculous. What the hell is a BAP? Bull**** Ass People. It should have never aired. It was an insult to the St Louis elite.
I love the show Baps and was looking forward to episode 5 its cancelled? What? The ladies would have worked out their differences and that would have been good to display on television. It would have been especially good to stay tuned to Alisha
I was looking for this show. Airing the last 2 episodes should have been a no brainer. I get the lifestyle they were trying to portray as I’ve been called a BAP too. It was far less offensive than the Love & Hip Hop shows. It wasn’t advertised very well, I just saw it because of Bring It. Air the last 2 shows!
I liked the show and wish they had at least aired the last two episodes. Thank goodness Bring It! Is still doing well on Lifetime.
People continue to compare this show with the Housewives and Hip-Hop franchises. The difference in ratings/interest; some of the castmember’s lifestyles weren’t visibly representing what they were saying! Is St. Louis that bad off, that this is considered the upper echelon of Black folks?! o_O And the show started with no build-up of WHO these people even were, but bam… why they hate each other, lol. She cursed your womb? Girl, bye. Then the ‘urban counterparts,’ gold chains, projects comments in the 1st episode showed me, this was a parody. Especially coming from people who seemed to live in and… Read more »
This show was only entertaining because there was no real truth to the cast being affluent. The only exception was the 2 men that own businesses.
I actually kind of liked this show. I thought all of their attitudes were horrible though. The only one that I think was really genuine and stayed true to herself was the so called ghetto girl. I watched the show because the hypocrisy of the cast was entertaining to me. These people constantly babbled on about their elite upbringing and bragged about how much better they were than the rest of the black community because they supposedly had money. They also always talked alot about the BAP etiquette and how it made them superior to all. However, despite all of… Read more »
I felt BAPS was absolutely ridiculous, from what I saw one minute they were acting as if they were from the valley and then next they were hood, whatever I’m glad it got canceled. I rather watch Duck Dynasty
LMAO
I felt that BAPS was a ridiculous show and misrepresentation of St.louis.
Personally I’m glad the show got canceled
I am happy they pulled this mess. I did not enjoy it at al.
I was really enjoying the show it was different and had somewhat class, please bring it back or at least finish the last episode, thanks
I don’t get it Why would they cancel the show.I enjoyed the show.i was looking forward to it this week. Shame on Lifetime .
I actually liked this show–anything was better then that Bring it mess. But seriously, they need to air the last 2 episodes though, it was actually a very entertaining show
