They all have such beautiful smiles 😍

[@aiden877]

This show was ended too soon I really wanted to see them get their happy endings and see more of Synclair and Overton as a married couple and see her really blossom as an actress. Would have loved to see Regine get her dream wedding, Kadajah could have became a mogul with her man by her side, Max and Kyle working as a couple, and Tripp getting a better development and not seen a replacement for Kyle.

[@communitsolutions]

They my brother that played Kyle wrong because he didn't want to be doing any "jive turkey" kinda stuff. Too Black, too strong... so they bumped him at the end of the season (after assuring him they wouldn't) and informed him over the phone that they had written him out of the show. Just to be clear - when I say "they" I mean the show's producers, NOT Latifah or any other cast member...

I love these characters. It's insulting that Kyle and Overton were in the audience instead of on stage.

I miss the 90’s so much. I was in my early 20’s when this show came out. I’m telling you it was a great decade. I lived in Brooklyn and worked in Manhattan and we didn’t call this a black show it was one of the BEST shows on TV. All of the ladies were so beautiful and talented.

[@sharitamoreland9198]

The best show of all time

[@casadegaitan]

Its a shame this show didn't get the press it deserved. Why didn't Oprah have them on? Letterman? Conan? Leno? Like wtf that's whack AF! Major points to Arsenio for giving them some spotlight. Shame on every other TV host. This show was/is so good and more importantly REAL!! Trust me I was a friends fan like 110% but after being introduced to "living single" I cannot express how much BETTER it is! SINCLAIR and OVERTON'S LOVE story was 3000 x better than Monica/Chandler and that train wreck that was Ross/Rachel. Also friends stole so much of their character's personalities (well tried they could not do it better). I could go on and on.. I truly believe had this show gotten the same exposure as friends it would be no competition. Living single made me feel and what's more made me LAUGH in a way that friends couldn't even begin too. Dassit!

[@danieltongaww]

The media back then didn’t was see a show like this succeed and it was even said the show would not last past the first season. But the viewership was so high they had to come back with another episode.

Still my favorite show , and it’s so wild now being the age (mid- late 20’s) as they portrayed on the show gives it that much more kudos they were doing big things in their respective careers .. and I can also relate to the episode where Kyle was turning 30 as I recently experienced it 😫😂

[@RestlessRick]

You're welcome, and I agree...this was one of those great 90s shows, indeed, and, I was thinking...it's hard to pick 1 favorite character (at least for me) because each character was unique and hilarious in his/her own way. That's rare because for me, normally, I can choose 1 (or 2) favorite characters from most shows I have watched.

You see how Kim Fields was blushing when he said you grew up to be so damn fine😅
