Jasmine Guy is gorgeously authentic and as real as they come. Debbie Allen is also the real deal. My best friend's daughter had ADHD at age 7 and couldn't sit still. She enrolled her in every kind of sport to try to harness her energy. One Thanksgiving I took her to see a children's musical. All she did was spin and dance and try to jump on the stage. Later I told her mother she should enroll her in dance classes. My friend took her to Ms. Allen's dance academy. Four years later the kid was touring as the lead in The Lion King and under contract with Disney.

I couldn never have foreseen an interview like this in 1987 after watching the 1st season.

The show was like an experiment in many people's eyes because HBCUs weren't part of everyday talk.

[@Taniere]

I’m heartbroken 💔 that todays kids haven’t had this type of grounding but I’m grateful for the reruns! To Everyone involved with this cast, Thank You! You have NO idea what you’ve done for young black boys and girls who grew to be men and women! This type of positivity pushed us to be better, killed the negative noise about what we couldn’t be and showed us what we could! Lastly, it forced us to really deal with life!

"A Different World" represents so much nostalgia and great memories for me. I'll never forget the excitement of gathering around the TV with my mom and sisters on Thursday nights to watch "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World." It was a stimulating evening of great lessons and pride. "A Different World" catapulted us into the world of HBCUs. Through this prideful lens, college life appeared to be very fun, captivating and life-altering. I loved all of the "A Different World" characters. They all came together to showcase every aspect of college life-expounding upon the movie, "School Daze." There were extensive and serious lessons in the episodes that were very impactful. Further, the Whitley and Dwayne wedding scene is one of the most EPIC scenes in TV history. It still gives me chills and feels when I watch it. My mantra in re: to dating/break-ups/relationships has always been: "I never want to be Whitley at the altar;" I never want to marry one man while being in love with another. Hence, I make sure I'm always over one man/relationship before committing to, or being in a serious relationship with another. With this said, Thank You for EVERYTHING "A Different World!" Your generational success, longevity, relevance, resonance and legacy are well-deserved.
