Ms Tee youuuuu wasn't thinking 💩 lol... Have a gr8 day...

[@YBCannonz]

I just thinking that then seen the comment lol

[@GreenEyesLeticia]

Will is so smooth its ridiculous. Love him.

[@MZ.LETREASE2U]

Love Is... by far the best show on right now; I'm always on the countdown for it to come on. I love to see everyone's perception on Love & this is a good story to be told. I hope this show gets a nomination they're truly deserving of one.

[@sherondahi11]

Outspoken Chanel Me too, I love to see others’ perception on love! When growing up, a lot of people teaches us that love has to be one way. And the older I get, I’m learning that society/media has been giving us false perceptions on what true love really is!

[@BluDrop5]

Watch First on YT; Love Is is based on this series.

[@alishainc]

I love how she broke down the 90's; funding, popularity of black culture and overshadowing. I never took it in until she said it

[@quitecontrary23]

Yes! No longer a mystery what happened to all those shows.

[@oohno1000]

The 90’s was the best time for blk tv 📺

[@MisterOrange1]

@@oohno1000 Yea, early to mid 00s as well

[@stacyr4768]

Exactly it's pathetic to beg for money

[@msbronzegoddess3166]

Why they got,rid of Cosby and living single, girlfriends and a different world, fresh Prince, family matters all build, when they are tearing down the minds of OUR youth, our children 🖤

[@WealthbuilderzTV]

Mara is soooo pretty to me. I never heard of Love Is but this made me want to check this out.

[@Only1flydiva]

Wealthbuilderz TV It's a great show and has a 90s vibe since that's the setting. It's also on Oprah's channel.

[@WealthbuilderzTV]

Mrs. Riley Teaches yeah? Cool 😎 I’m check it out. Thanks for the heads up

[@FIRSTNAMEMARKO]

Yeah she's pretty af. She's the only reason I watch it tbh. Definitely has a 90's vibe. Her character is a writer or producer for the tv show "Martin" but on the show its called "Marvin" lol

[@VeryKinkyCurl]

Wealthbuilderz TV It’s good you’ll like it

[@DrDanielle86]

You would love it. I love the message it conveys. Best show on tv next to Queen Sugar.

[@jasminesmith5842]

Will is so handsome to me!

[@sharronking]

Jasmine Smith He is fine😍

[@talarria9357]

He is gorgeous

[@Only1flydiva]

I've been a fan of Will Catlett since the short film series, First, which Issa Rae posted on her channel. ❤

[@thecharlieL]

Mrs. Riley Teaches agree!!

[@aquariusbeauty210]

I remember him from the Show 'That Guy ' on Black & Sexy TV KZbin channel.

[@lwhite474]

On the youtube series Frost from 2014 that was a good series as well

[@lwhite474]

I meant First!!

[@MsBluestar20]

Loved him on First! I’ve been a huge fan ever since

[@b.williams736]

I love Will Catlet. From that guy, to First... he's such a great actor!

[@rswinton83]

'Love is____' is an awesome show so far. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@joedaindallas7298]

GiGi S. WOW your smile's SO gorgeous. At least to me

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Love this show! Seriously, I highly recommend watching "Love Is___" on OWN. Comes on right after The Haves And The Have Nots on Tuesday nights at 10 PM. I do episode reviews and whatnot about it on my channel. Be sure to come on over and check it out!

[@M0chaJ0J0]

The Haves and the Have Nots Review where can I binge watch the have and the have nots?

[@azizawho3059]

Your so lucky you have access. I do watch it but it’s not easy.

[@Baesicc]

The show is so dope! I was in Love immediately

[@jadabug3600]

Black Women are so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@5280AcoGs]

Jadabug 000 The most beautiful in the universe!

[@funnyisfunny4944]

Our black is beautiful!

[@lettucethedon]

Girlfriends movie should be on Netflix

[@Sweets32]

anthony T they should have Girlfriends on Netflix

[@tiyanextdoor5752]

Good idea. Come on Netflix

[@kjdnyhmghfvb]

Netflix is never going to give girlfriends the budget. (we all know why)

[@lettucethedon]

kjdnyhmghfvb u must be a Monique fan

[@CleansingGemAesthetics_Chii]

They won’t give them the budget. Sadly

[@johnwayne3566]

That gray in her hair just hypnotized me 😍😍😵😵😵😵

[@queenmimi5]

[@11oakclifftx]

Mara is the GOAT

[@DCI74]

The best show about relationships and Black love in the 90s on TV. This show is amazing.

[@BluDrop5]

D Mo Watch First on YT; Love Is is based on this series.

[@mayaewing]

Wow that Kelsey Grammer piece answered so many questions for me even about how he stayed out of the way because I always wondered how involved was he creatively. Great question

[@stacyr4768]

I was shocked and impressed when I saw he was the Executive Producer

[@tevinbeech]

Is it me or Mara Kind of look like Angela Bassett?

[@deljean]

Ball2ifall she does

[@jessicaburleson1921]

She does! I thought the same thing.

[@taoforte8988]

Crowdfund77 nope, i don't associate with raping pedos. I also don't do podcasts admiting to drugging women with Spanish Fly rape pills. Nor do i go on podcasts saying "she blacked out and i still fucked her" Nor do i talk about "she looks like Angela Basset" when this piece of boiled shit is in the room.

[@KojoD3wit]

Tao Forte no but you putting money in his pockets so you obviously don't actually care.

[@marymary6379]

Ball2ifall mix of Angela Basset and Vivica Fox

[@chaviusrandall216]

After working a 12 hour shift I can watch this and go to bed now. 🤗🤗

[@trustnoone9597]

Chavius Randall probably the realest comment I've read thus far... doin the same pimp...

[@djenaba1988]

I don't sit through many hour long interviews but this was an amazing interview and I can sit for hours listening to Mara Brock Akil talk. She is so spiritually in tuned and it just makes my heart smile

[@NaturallyAsh88]

Mara’s skin is absolutely gorgeous!

[@jgj5369]

NaturallyAsh88 right???!! I need her skin care routine

[@prettyl25]

I love this show so much!! I cant wait for the next episode. She is an incredible writer!

[@erlingwilliams5685]

Literally, the BEST show on TV right now. It makes me feel like I am watching LOVE JONES every week

[@derrickbrown621]

Angela Yee snuck one in on CTG. The beautiful lady said talking about sex will get you in trouble in Hollywood. Yee said "and the radio" lol

[@daughterofyah6209]

derrick brown 😂😂😂😂 yooo! I peeped it but I didn’t read to deep in it but now I’m hollering

[@theartistmind7028]

She sure did😂😂😂

[@morningcoffee1266]

Here for Will Catlett, dude has talent!

[@thr3385]

Who remembers UPN? Half & Half, Girlfriends, and The Parkers with One on One!

[@yellowsun.1776]

Good days of the late 90s early 2000s, even in the UK we had two channels UK Living and Trouble on cable (oh and Nickelodeon). I'm hopeful creatives will continue to put out great quality stories

[@stacyr4768]

UPN was the network back then

[@soexxxtra918]

Omg if U haven’t seen the show it’s great it’s something on tv that we been missing so long its like a breath of fresh air

[@BluDrop5]

So Exxxtra First is better...

[@MissShaneice]

Mara speaks so intelligently, and I'm proud of her for all she's accomplished. I just wish she let Will & Michele talk more. I love the show thus far, and I can't wait to see what happens in the weeks to come.

[@samanthacurry1857]

Will Catlett is AMAZING. I've been in love with him since "First". I want to see more of him in film.

[@foreverbp1]

Been a fan of Will since That Guy! Congrats on all your success ❤️

[@sherondahi11]

Will has me chuckling to myself when he asked Angela-What’s the question behind the question that you really want to know?!” She got all tongue tied because she was exposed for she does to everyone that comes on the show! Will was not falling for the mind game questions she always ask their guests! 😆

[@stacyr4768]

Will is direct like me

[@ottobey1353]

Facts

[@thegantz87]

You'll always by Mike from "That Guy" to me.

[@yungotcha]

[@walkingwallabee]

[@domHoe]

Omg !!!! I wish Tgat Guy would've had the proper ending!!

[@yungotcha]

they never had an finale right ?

[@PB-qx9bt]

Anakin Flow they actually just posted it on black and sexy

[@icymorena]

I’m a writer, and I’ve been thinking about writing for shows. She’s truly an inspiration.

[@weldonmeyers6490]

Don't waste another day

[@jamilabrown2017]

Love love love ... this has been my new favorite show!! I have watched the last four episodes over and over and over at least 5-11 times. I was soo hyped when y’all had them on revolt this morning but sadly disappointed at how short the interview was. But now I’m hyped again after seeing this full interview. Love Mara! This love story is beautiful and can’t wait to see the rest of the season and so on...

[@Renee_nf094e]

On the first episode I said Michelle/Nuri reminds me of actress Tammy Townsend. A few minutes later Tammy walks in playing her mother. 😜

[@KayKayHoliday06]

nf094e that's what you call good casting.

[@Renee_nf094e]

KayKay_ Holiday LOL, IKR!

[@pretty_wingz]

She reminds me of Christina Milian. Guess ppl see things differently.

[@russie.russell]

Tammy is a dime

[@morganmedianetwork]

D_money I can completely see why u say that!!!!!

[@taytay84]

This is my show!

[@lifestraight]

Who remembers South Central? Wasn't Larenz Tate on that show?

[@jessicarichards9540]

lifestraight it was revamped into moesha. Same writers,plot, set, even few actors.

[@GodsProperT]

Yes I remember Larenz in the original version

[@lifestraight]

Curly Girl Same plot? The original plot I remember had to do with street shit. Not a teen girl documenting her maturation and struggles in her diary.

[@lifestraight]

Tameka Kelsey I knew I wasn't trippin lol

[@therealimlikewoa]

That show was soooo good lol!

[@andriah8126]

Very common with writers...

[@CleansingGemAesthetics_Chii]

I’m the same lol Got to hit every topic but the one i was asked about. I hate it but I never want to be misunderstood.

[@xo.haltiwanger]

She gives context.

[@stacyr4768]

[@laurenwebb7960]

“Love Is..” is a great show, and I love how it is based in the 90’s!!

[@BluDrop5]

Lauren Webb Watch First on YT; Love Is is based on this series.

[@vontebrown2537]

My new favorite show I been loving it, amazing cast and crew, 90s black love story in the 90s, Black Hollywood trying to make it in the 90s, achieving love and goals, with the styles and music, thank god we been going back to the 90s in real life with music and fashion, and I love this show

[@BluDrop5]

Vonte Brown Watch First; Love Is is based on this series.

[@JLESLIE151]

yo angela yee has no chill. She be roasting charlamane and envy lowkey haha

[@rayrock90]

I get a feel good feeling watching this show... it takes you through the eyes of adults during the 90’s before cellphones, computers, pretty much a lot of stuff we have, they didn’t have. It’s showcasing the obstacles they had to go through to court someone! I love the show.

[@JDArchangel1]

I love this showwww! Mara is the truth, I had no idea this was inspired by her life, it makes it so much more real to me now!

[@teralynfletcher8514]

The Game is my show I still rewatch it to this day!

[@drummajor101]

These are some beautiful women!

[@IAmQueen54]

This show is so refreshing, something TV hasn't had in a long time...Thank you Mara Brock Akil for an awesome show and a beautiful cast...Respect

[@MrsLikaB]

Bring Girlfriends, the Game, and Mary Jane back

[@Cloneme12]

Shut up Now I like how the game ended bringing it back would hurt the show tho

[@MrsLikaB]

Cloneme12 true. I just miss it. Actually up to season 4

[@jessicarichards9540]

Mary Jane was suppose to have a movie special but I doubt it will happen. Girlfriends wasn’t good the last season when Toni left

[@VeryKinkyCurl]

Shut up Now Yes!!!!

[@jgj5369]

You can keep Being Mary Jane lol. The Game was great up until BET😖. But I need closure on Girlfriends😔

[@KtotheB1218]

This show is my everything!!!! I feel so many emotions. Depths of my soul. Expression. Whew!!!

[@jaesease4738]

Beautiful interview! I love this show!! Great job to all! 🌟

[@taoforte8988]

Jae Sease yeah! Great job! You just ignored the fact that there is a raping pedophile on this show.

[@jaesease4738]

Tao Forte was he found guilty of rape? And if you’re so bothered, why are you listening to his show? Get a life!

[@taoforte8988]

Jae Sease ha! I guarantee you have complained about the justice system when it is conveniant to you, am i right? Yeah i thought so. As far as getting a life? You aren't talking to a ghost here so keep those blinders on lady.

[@jaikishumpert1594]

I live for this show. I am so glad they came to this platform to really get the word out. These two actors are phenomenal! I literally can’t wait for Tuesday to see more of this story. Mara is a storytelling genius. Everything she touches turns to GOLD. Quote me.

[@Mookiebetz]

Michele Weaver is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Swear I fell in love with her.

[@beautifulyoung23]

This interview spoke to me on so many levels. Just like the show does. I appreciate how it inspires you to work and go for your dreams.

[@dynastybabybeauty]

Will been the man since “That Guy” So happy for his success!! ❤️

[@putus18]

I learned SOO much from this conversation .. these minds are really just very deep to swim in and i absolutely LOVE Maura, Michele and William's perspectives on life.

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

I would actually donate to a Girlfriends go fund me. I have watched the existing episodes 50-11 times. I'm ready.

[@stacyr4768]

[@ivymangeli3121]

This interview was one of the most fulfilling by the Breakfast Club... y'all should do more of these.

[@mistymojones9280]

[@kattax87]

Phenomenal interview, I could’ve listened for another hour :)

[@creeyahna252]

Will Catlett 😍 he lucky he married lol

[@anisaosman4407]

I really enjoyed every minute of this interview. Mara is a gem, I really hope she receives the proper funding, support and respect that she deserves.

[@honeydip19]

I appreciate that background on Girlfriends regarding Kelsey Grammer.

[@AshleyJohnson-xd1ei]

Will Catlett is the TRUTH. Been a die hard fan since "First" to "Giants" and all other short films. This brother is so amazingly talented. Now I've fallen in Love with him on "Black Lightning" and "Love Is".

[@AKDREEZY]

My nigga Latavious 😂😂✊🏽✊🏽💯

[@ladyscorpio4eva]

[@jackpea7102]

[@amorgxn]

[@jenniferalexander3172]

I love the Akil's! And I am hooked to this show Love Is... I need the Girlfriends movie too.

[@dabphil7079]

Mara Brock Akil is so full as a woman there is so many dimensions to her. I love and share in her beauty and light. It’s nice to see how much alike we are in our connections to others. Great job breakfast club

[@lisfine]

Black Lightning is my joint

[@latishaturner2439]

This is my favorite show!!!! It’s a T.V Show, but it’s on the same line as my all time favorite movie Love Jones ❤️ and The Notebook❤️ Love stories are my thing, what can I say!!! But I’m truly happy they brought this story to t.v too get a dose of Love every week!!! We need it❤️

[@deontaer]

This show is my new obsession as with most of the Akil's productions.

[@novelbeauti5073]

One of the best breakfast club interviews in a while, hands down. I enjoyed every minute!

[@FeliciaStarks]

When will we see the finale of Being Mary Jane? Love their shows!

[@wubbsie1]

I just LOVE, LOVE LOVE this show. Great interview!

[@juschill1]

The fact that in the background, you got every bottle of alcohol and then a bottle of cetaphil... Balance I Guess. LoL

[@naturalhairhub3822]

Anyone else recognize Will from the First Series on Issa Rae's channel? Proud of you, Will!! Keep striving

[@rosiieholiday-fernandez9636]

I would really love to see a show about a dark skinned man and a dark skinned woman falling in love with each other. I am so tired of seeing this dynamic. ( light skin girl- dark skinned man) light skin has a best friend, her best friend is dark skinned, and she’s usually portrayed as loud and uncanny, can’t seem to find a man, so she goes her whole life going through tons of relationship , while wishing she had what her light skinned friend has. I am tired. Even though this isn’t that dynamic to the T , I won’t be watching. Idc idc idc

[@kraich631]

Rosiie Holiday-Fernandez I noticed the same thing such a shame

[@4grazi]

Very true sis ... its always scripted the same .. we need change . It’s always the lighter girl who is the focal point , the dark skin girl is always in the background made to be aggressive and less then . Our world is not like that ! We are queens and that needs to be shown ! How about making the lighter girl the friend and the dark skin girl the focal point !

[@kilimanjaro5537]

Watch insecure and black lightning totally different and not the same old look and guess who is behind black lightning Mara plus the show is based on her and her husbands relationship so what do you expect she casted someone who looked like her but I agree with what you said but I will still be watching love is

[@brittanyadamson4271]

I noticed and thought the same. But it really is a nice show just makes me sad. The first episode even put a lot of emphasis on her light skinned allure which confused me because Mara’s not so light. But it’s loosely fact based and the actress playing Nuri is talented so I guess...

[@DonVDaArtist]

Tyler perry put dark skinned people with dark skinned people sometimes...(even tho im not a ty perry fan..) I still recognize

[@keshashaw1720]

Just finished binge watching this show. Oh my gosh! This is a great show so far. Many layers to this Love and Marriage thing. I LOVE IT! I first saw Mr Will on Black and Sexy TV a few years ago. This outlet has allowed young actors to work on their craft. I have seen several of them go on to do more work on TV and film. Congratulations to all of them!

[@jackpea7102]

Kesha Shaw Vince and Brittney Check out the you tube series First. This where they stole the idea.

[@yusufjinadu]

Dope Interview. Really dope.

[@SherriceSledgeThomas]

Mara is a legend. Michelle is amazing. Will is multi-dimensional. I’m so honored to be able to watch all of them grow.

[@curryshotyou1538]
