Ratings matter but it's also about what kind of contract you signed. TLC sold millions of records yet those who sold thousands of records had more money than them.

I did the same exact thing trying to see what's all the fuss was about. Black shows appeal to all but most white shows only appeal to whites.

[@kathycobb6829]

They did not make one million dollars per episode until toward the end of a series that lasted ten years. And that was because all of the cast stuck together and stuck to their guns through all salary negotiations. They figured that they all the did same amount of work, so they should all get paid the same.

Let's talk about how friends ripped off living single and got rich These small HATS are such thieves

[@spirituallyyoung5295]

So dang true

[@kathycobb6829]

I will tell you what I told Classic Thinker. If you don't like Friends, fine, but keep the racism out of it. Friends was about a bunch of white, young people, and Living Single was about a bunch of black, young people. Both shows were excellent and had their own flavor. Seriously, why do you guys take a light-hearted post and make it racist and political? There are black shows that are similar to white shows that came before them, but you don't see white people coming on here, making such claims. Don't like Friends, here's an idea. DON'T WATCH.

[@kathycobb6829]

Let's talk about how Living Single ripped off Seinfeld, or about how 99 percent of rap music samples other people's music. You cannot criticize someone else for ripping off your culture when you do the same thing. I'd love to hear a rap artist rap and do their own tunes. Rarely done. So, you need to get off your high horse because you are a hypocrite. Don't like Friends, fine. DON'T WATCH IT. But do not blame Friends because Living Single got the shaft. I love Living Single, but the way the cast is trying to claim an original idea is ridiculous. It makes me never want to watch the show again, and I personally loved the show. I am getting damn tired of people making bold claims as if they are the only talented people and the whole world is ripping them off. I frankly do not care which show came first. Being first does not necessarily make you better; it makes you first, and as stated Living Single was NOT first. And frankly, I cannot count the times that a show I loved got the shaft to a bigger or newer show. This is not rare. So, step off . . . and stop trying to claim that you invented fire.

[@brianball2787]

I don’t see Queen Latifah is doing so badly. The other actor/actresses were character actors. The fact they can’t get work means 1 of 2 things…1. They were typecast by their roles on Living Single (which happens to actors of all races, sexes, creeds, etc.)….. 2. They have a horrible agent. BTW, watched Friends once, couldn’t stand it….and I’m white.
