Kyle broke Maxine down to her bone marrow😂. This will always be one of my all-time favorite episodes. CLASSIC‼️

[@sdlock83]

No my favorite is when he dumped Max. Even the audience was cheering for him at that moment. And this is a women's show.

[@bmwexxxoticredheadmamibell4009]

Queen cited that he was so incredibly talented, and I agree. She definitely know what real talent es en vida, the way he went so deep with the lyrics,and how he was clearly looking,singing to Max, all low, then he concluded with the high soprano type voice, falsetto es hermoso... BEAUTIFUL rendition of it, i think 1 of the top 3 who ever done it, so beautiful, body-shiver hearing the last part,and first verse, pero, last part was absolutely beautiful. so talented. I love Max, and Kyle, clearly behind all of the jokes back and forth,and "denial"of such feelings(More max then Kyle)they were meant to be, never tired of the re-runs, on TV ONE each day/night. Adios.

[@kendallrivers1119]

I agree! that was a great show, and they had the perfect chemistry. I bet when they put this cast together I'm sure they never thought it would play out so well but it did, and yes I love Kyle's version of that song what a time I truly do miss the 90s

[@kendallrivers1119]

So agree. Just perfect chemistry. And you're right they could never possibly think the show would turn into what it turned into and the cast they put together would work together this well. I've always said that Martin and Living Single's casts could rival Seinfeld and Golden Girls as two of the most chemically perfect shows on tv ever.
