Breezy's Recap.....

The new UP network, is on the fast track to becoming a top ten cable network. UPlifting Entertainment as a name change is definitely a step in the right direction, I like many other found it hard to turn to to the Gospel Music Channel (GMC), even though the network is the home to many sitcom favorites from the nineties like; Sister Sister, Smart Guy, and Moesha. The movies set to premiere in 2013 have the right balance of quality story lines, and plot mixed with timeless family values and traditions. Television series and Movies that uphold this type of story telling will provide Uplifiting Entertainment to the viewers, and will help the ratings of the UP Network. I will be all three television series and quite a few of the Movies. What about you what will you be watching? Let me know in the Comments.
