When BET announced it would launch Centric, it said it was aiming for an older African-American audience, 25 to 54 years old, adding that perfect examples of its desired audience would be Barack and Michelle Obama.

Since then, the show has been mostly repeats; "Soul Train" episodes, "Miami Vice," "The A Team," R&B videos.

Slowly, though, it's added some original programming. The revived "Soul Train Awards" was, well, embarrassing. A reality show "Model City" didn't seem to fit the demographic.

Tonight, the channel tries again with another reality show, "Keeping Up With the Joneses," (8 p.m.), which chronicles a Houston woman as she raises her two children and tries to move her magazine from regional to national.
