I chuckled when I opened up this press release in my email inbox a little bit ago, because I've had a few conversations with several folks about whether Bet (or TV One, or Bounce TV) would broadcast Roots before Django Unchained is released; and sure enough, it looks like the folks at Bet were thinking the exact the same thing, because they will be doing just that, starting on December 21st. But not only will Bet screen the 1977 mini-series, the network will continue with broadcasts of Roots: The Next Generations (1979), Roots: The Gift (1988), and finally Queen (1993), closing out the series broadcast on December 26.
