I can't believe the size of some of those firefighters!! That one with the white helmet must weigh 400 lbs!!! Dont they HAVE to exercise??? What a disgrace to the fire service.
damn i see and live dat shit every fuckin day in compton so this tv show is not a suprise 2 me but some of dat shit is mad crazy comin 4rm a person livin there
wow talk about a thread hijack lets not forget this show is not a show about "Compton" this is a show firefighters doing their job. open your mind and allow yourself to experience the life of public safety. Compton was chosen because of a personnel tie to the production company not because of stats. and lastly "watch the show" don't let a 1 min. trailer form your opinion its a trailer designed to grab your attention.
Firefighters put their lives on the line to help others it is about time people get a firsthand look at the REAL trauma day in day out that they experience and how people depend on them. Tyrese all we can say is you have an amazing spirit! Much success in all you do!
i love it! i just want to let u know i will support anything u do, i have followed u since the coke commercials. im just a regular person but follow me on twitter @ess00112000, i would be honored. my aunt used to love her some u. when she was on life support in the hospital dying of cancer, we used to play your music in her ear and she seemed to hear it. she was and i am a life long fan. stay cool and always be safe no matter what u do. erica. your smile always makes me feel good
Has anyone seen the new apartments they put up on Central (going North Bound) right before you get to 104th? Hopefully more of these properties go up in order to continue with the beautification of Watts/Compton. Residence must feel good about their community in order to assist in feeling good about themselves...If you mprove the environment you can improve the mentality.
This is Tyrese.. Tune in TONIGHT Wed Sept 30th at 10pm on BET enjoy!! Compton is not ALL bad a lot of great people and great things are going on for the city!! However there is STILL more work to be done in South Central Trust me I know I'm from Watts and I get the calls all day everyday about what's REALLY going on!! Tune in and see for yourself!! God Bless you!! To all the folks in Compton when the political folkls see this.. They will be forced to step up and do MORE to keep us all safe!
Tyrese.....The political folks have been seeing this and nothing isn't going to change. I believe Compton changed due to all the hard work of all the CPT Sheriff"'s that patrol the streets. If they hadn't come to compton, it would look like Iraq and your show wouldve been on HBO instead of BET.....so keep on entertaining!
I am so happy for you in every thinking you do this is what we need to see. this will be great show on BET . Tyrese is good in every thinking he Thad's
What Compton you from, cause Lynwood, Compton, North Long Beach is still black and mexican. Now if you talking about South Gate, we could agree. But Compton is NOT all Latino . . . yet.
For clarification Compton is currently 72% Latino as of June 2009 quoted from an L.A. times article researching the political representation of Latinos in political office in Compton.
this show was filmed in compton no script no actors noone said that compton was a black community, compton is 100% better than it used to be but you cant be blinded that these are the things that actually happen. while ur partying on the weekend these firefighter are workin 24/7
Now, this is the kinda stuff that people need to see, in order to realize where more community funding is required. This will be a great show for educational, informative, and concious purposes.
No matter if it's BET or CNN, the maddness in Compton will never change until they have the right people in their city Gov't.....Mean while, the gangs will continue shooting at each other and innocent people will get hurt or killed....This show is all about ratings and entertainment, that's all...Don't be fooled
A fool I am not...Nevertheless, that goes for any community, politics only do what the people allow it to do. Regardless of what the shows intentions are...if more funding goes into the community due to this show, I'm all for it....and if you think the whole show is about gangs shooting each other, then you've got a lot to learn. More deaths come from DV and child abuse, than gang shootings...REAL TALK!
Yes...u are fool! TV is all about entertainiment and ratings...Why do you think they picked Compton out of the cities in LA county? The reason is because of all the maddness that occurs in that city. Compton still leads the county in homicide rates, robberies, and DV....why not compton, people already know that city is the "wild wild west".....BET isn't going to do a show like that in Torrance, Gardena or Downey...So wake up!
Evidently someone had enough sense to erase your fool ass comment. I'm just going to disregard you as a HATER just like a crab in a barrel. You can't prposper so you don't want to see the next person strive for something better than what your dumb ass isn't. Keep sippin on the hatorade...IT SUITS YOU!
I find it entertaining that you mention Torrance, have you ever been to East side Torrance, Tortilla flats, or anywhere near 204th street and Western? Gardena, really, try going down Vermont past Artesia after dark. Hmmm...not the best examples of "safe cities". Yes I speak from experience I was born in Torrance lived there also, lived in Gardena as well, and now reside in Compton. Guess where I feel the most safe..."the wild, wild, west" Please avoid being so ignorant and do the actual research
The current Mayor of Compton is doing a great job. The new center on Wilmington is phenomenal, you would think you're in PV or Hermosa. I live a half hour from Compton, but recently visited the new center on Wilmington and Greenleaf and didn't want to leave. Compton has made great improvements, since Omar Bradley was in office. Most of the people who live there are honest working citizens and need support, not criticism . . . especially if you don't know what you're talking about.
You are so on point! Compton has come a long way in the past few years...But if you have people still watching movies, that only portray the projects in Compton/Watts, or even locals who don't routinely visit there...you really would not know.
WhaaaatT.....Avelvy!....Compton is no where close to PV...I do know what I'm talking because your mayor is trying to get rid if the sheriff's out of your city. If he's successful your city is going to crumble like Pakastan...If could afford to move out, I would do so before its too late....
PLEASE read my comments again. I in no way implied that Compton was anywhere near PV. I said there is a new shopping center that would make you "think" you're in PV, because it is so well constructed and managed. That's what I said. AND I clearly stated that I did not live in Compton. As a matter of fact, I stated I lived 30 mins. west. But if I did, I would certainly not be complaining, I would be doing what I could to "personally" improve the city.
I thank u for this because I can relate. My first night on one of my sites.. a lady started to go into a diabetic coma. I was there to handle the situation alone. Last night someone pasted on my site and they had to come get the body. All new to me. Thank you so much Tyrese for taking the time to show love to those that people tend to forget
Educational, inspirational, bravery, honor ... those elements appealing to the real sense of life. BET no doubt will be getting extra pairs of eyes from this side of town when it comes out.
Looks very spectaculair ! Too bad we don't have this in the Netherlands! BTW I think they should give you a raise hahahaha on doing a fantastic job! xx
My husband and all of our friends are firefighters. We are so happy and excited about this show. Right now many firefighters are watching Rescue Me but after this show surfaces, bye bye Rescue Me and hellooooo First in Compton. Milwaukee Fire Department all day! Lets go! Tyrese!
I will definately tune into this show. I love shows like this. I just posted this clip to my facebook page. I hope everyone does the same thing. Let's support Ty.
This show looks insane. I couldn't even tell if it was a reality show or fiction at first. I think it is important for people who can't even comprehend going through events like that to see it first hand. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PUT THIS ON TV!! It will open up a lot of eyes and minds. I love shows like this, I will definitely be watching it.
looks real good tyrese i will be recording this i love watching documentary type shows gives you a feel for the real world and how things are similar in state to state
Now this show looks good. The real deal of what life is really like for some people. Intense...probably the best show BET can offer viewers right now. Nice Work to Open Our Eyes.
keep believing the lie about the city being broke and acutally caring by showing the misery and exploiting the people of Compton for profit. this show will not benefit your city but will degrade it even more. it is garbage. the war going on here in the u.s. is paid for by your tax dollars. hope this show and BET fails as planned.
Yup.....Amen! You know that only ignorant people believe everything they see on TV. Its all about the guy name Tyrese and his ratings....Do you think he cares about Compton. He probably lives on the west side as far away from compton.
i would watch the show it looks interesting..it's better than watching those ol' corny degrading shows that BET is showing lately. What ever have to teen summit for the younger kids..bet is really going downhill...plus anything for tyrese
Hello, my name is Tanya Puryear. I am from Courtland, AL. I think that the above mention is a good show. I don't know what is going on around the world; this is new to me. I think this will be a good show.
yo man, the City of Compton luvs you for this. This is BIG! Way to keep it 100 on the Hub & Dub tip. If you ain't heard of w w w. hubcitylivin . com then you need to join NOW!
i saw a message someone posted a little while ago saying that a show like this is trash and that bet should be filming the war. i understand we have a crisis going on overseas but america is also at war with itself. the preview to this show moved me. people struggle with every day hardships and loss. i think this show not only depicts the struggles of every day people but also reminds us we have soldiers here at home who fight for us every day.
I don't particularly care to watch death, destruction and mayhem. I understand the motive behind it and yes it is better than half the garbage already on TV. However, from that promo it looks like you will still be watching a whole bunch of dumb people doing stupid things as well as innocent people getting caught up in senseless acts of violence. The FD seems to just be the crutch to make it ok. Lift us up, direct us on the right path and show others the good things they can be involved in.
At first I was gonna say I'll watch anything that has to do with Tyrese but this is actually a serious TV show that I would watch if I didnt know if it was from him....
This is definitely worth watching! If BET can put all that other crap on then they can definitely put on something that is actually entertaining...Like this!
Wow...maybe a bit too real for tv, but these posers & "gangsta fanatics" need to understand what it's really like to live in the hood. Not a pretty picture at all
Piece of trash. Out of all the problems that need to be addressed in the American communities, millions will be spent on diversionary garbage like this. BET why don't you film the War - then we will see why America is becoming the Rome of the 21st century. I hope people will stand for something and stop falling for anything. Tyrese do not stand behind this piece of garbage. It only shows the misery of the American people. Copying Cops and Rescue Me does not impress any of US.
this is about the war going on right here in your back yard....... we spend millions overseas and cannt afford to staff fire engines or buy equipment. to protect us right here in the good old usa wake up and look at the big picture. no diversion here just facts
Its good to see a show about about our people doing something positive and productive. This show is going to touch a lot of hearts and change a lot of lives. Looking forward to watching it!
"anticipation is making me wait!" even tho i do not like to witness sad events, this seems to be about the ppl who dedicate their live to helping others - in any field - they get props from me.
its intriguing to see "real"ity perspectives so meaningful as this. cannot wait to see the INTENSITY. bring it!
This is rockinrhozeta on twitter. Looks good to the degree people love to watch a car wreck but in this clip, I could not see that WOW factor. What is the drama in this? The storylines of the emergency personnel or the rescue of victims caught up by the environment? Good luck with it at any rate. I don't yet see why I would want to watch.
judging from each trailer it seems as though this is a fire dept version of cops in that it is a real time reality series. with the success and longevity of cops, this show is bound to succeed by leaps and bound. once again you have found a way to bring inspiration.this show will bring hope to compton.
This show should be cool. Im actually in the show. I was in a motorccyle accident oct. 2008behind the compton swap meet and i am the brotha up under the car between the 49-55 sec. Sorta nervous about what im going to see cus i dont remember the accident.
Thank you for showing something REAL. This is away from the norm and we will really appreciate the real heroes of our lifetime. Thanks Ty for opening people eyes I will definitely tune in :-) five stars
Great show!! can't wait to see it!! thanks tyrese for bringing out some REAL! REALity shows! this is raw and in your face events of everyday life it will teach us all on how to value life!
I think it's great when REAL shows come on. I think shows like these educate everyone out there. Thank u for making another real show with real people. Peace
Toni Dualyou know imma be stuck on this like glue...I watch all these type of shows....plus the firefighters look cute!
3 hours ago · DeleteTisha BrownI know, thats exactly what I said... LOL!!! Spread the word... I truely believe this will be the most watched show ever... BET!!! Get Ready,, you couldn't have pick a better person to represent this show... I'll be tuned in and spreading the word...Much RESPECT TYRESE AND CONGRATS BET...
Im def looking forward to this. Finally something that will get ppl to understand there are real things goin on out here. Cant be so caught up in these shows that degrade ppl and their families. This is real life.
I was getting extremely emotional watching because I could have lost 1 or all 3 of my brothers to random acts of violence...None of them bang or even hang out with people who do but the way they dressed would have been considered "gang attire"...I Thank God that I still have all 3 of them today...Lord knows I couldn't function without them...cant wait to tune in....Thanks Tyrese!!!
There isn't anything like real "REALITY".. A part of my life I grew up in Watts (109th & Wilmington) and my siblings and I were exposed to soooo much....I think this will be a wake up call for people not only in the community but for people who have no idea what really goes on in communities that are considered "bad areas"....
from the trailers that I saw is the best thing to come to TV in a very long time. It's real and it takes you into the lives of reall people real everyday sh**. These are the lives of firefighters that you don't hear about but risk their lives to save a life. You've done it again that's why I love you!

I'm EXCITED about First In Compton!!! It looks ACTION PACKED...I think it's gonna B gr8 because it's REAL LIFE.....Hats off 2 TYRESE GIBSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I work in a hospital, and sometimes i have to go to E.R , to see a client, this is serious , the drama that happens on a day to day basis....it seems to showing a view from the firefighters when it comes to saving life...
I bet it was really hard to film a show like this. I can only respect the firemen and Tyrese for having the courage to go out there like that. It really looks amazing...and sad. I get extremely emotional seeing things like this thats why I said I don't know about me watching it all the time. I am sure there is a strong message in it. That is apparent.
I can't wait to see this. I hope people support it the way the support foolishness. My brother just became a firefighter with Houston Fire Department so I have so much respect for the profession as a whole!

i saw a message someone posted a little while ago saying that a show like this is trash and that bet should be filming the war. i understand we have a crisis going on overseas but america is also at war with itself. the preview to this show moved me. people struggle with every day hardships and loss. i think this show not only depicts the struggles of every day people but also reminds us we have soldiers here at home who fight for us every day.

I don't particularly care to watch death, destruction and mayhem. I understand the motive behind it and yes it is better than half the garbage already on TV. However, from that promo it looks like you will still be watching a whole bunch of dumb people doing stupid things as well as innocent people getting caught up in senseless acts of violence. The FD seems to just be the crutch to make it ok. Lift us up, direct us on the right path and show others the good things they can be involved in.

Damn shame BET wil prob mess this up.
BET needs to fix themselves fast and stop make these shows that reflect black people in a bad way.

Piece of trash. Out of all the problems that need to be addressed in the American communities, millions will be spent on diversionary garbage like this. BET why don't you film the War - then we will see why America is becoming the Rome of the 21st century. I hope people will stand for something and stop falling for anything. Tyrese do not stand behind this piece of garbage. It only shows the misery of the American people. Copying Cops and Rescue Me does not impress any of US.

this is about the war going on right here in your back yard....... we spend millions overseas and cannt afford to staff fire engines or buy equipment. to protect us right here in the good old usa wake up and look at the big picture. no diversion here just facts

This is rockinrhozeta on twitter. Looks good to the degree people love to watch a car wreck but in this clip, I could not see that WOW factor. What is the drama in this? The storylines of the emergency personnel or the rescue of victims caught up by the environment? Good luck with it at any rate. I don't yet see why I would want to watch.

judging from each trailer it seems as though this is a fire dept version of cops in that it is a real time reality series. with the success and longevity of cops, this show is bound to succeed by leaps and bound. once again you have found a way to bring inspiration.this show will bring hope to compton.

I was getting extremely emotional watching because I could have lost 1 or all 3 of my brothers to random acts of violence...None of them bang or even hang out with people who do but the way they dressed would have been considered "gang attire"...I Thank God that I still have all 3 of them today...Lord knows I couldn't function without them...cant wait to tune in....Thanks Tyrese!!!

There isn't anything like real "REALITY".. A part of my life I grew up in Watts (109th & Wilmington) and my siblings and I were exposed to soooo much....I think this will be a wake up call for people not only in the community but for people who have no idea what really goes on in communities that are considered "bad areas"....

from the trailers that I saw is the best thing to come to TV in a very long time. It's real and it takes you into the lives of reall people real everyday sh**. These are the lives of firefighters that you don't hear about but risk their lives to save a life. You've done it again that's why I love you!

I bet it was really hard to film a show like this. I can only respect the firemen and Tyrese for having the courage to go out there like that. It really looks amazing...and sad. I get extremely emotional seeing things like this thats why I said I don't know about me watching it all the time. I am sure there is a strong message in it. That is apparent.
