I'm no actor but anyone can clearly see that Hollywood has been doing black actors dirty forever. I didn't watch Friends because they didn't apply to my life. Living Single was my life and that of my friends around me. We were upset that it was just snatched off the air so abruptly, but that is the way white Hollywood did and still does black shows to some degree. To ruin a person's career, though, there is such a thing called karma and it has no expiration date.
@jakevendrotti14964 ай бұрын
But what's interesting is, the demographic audience for living single was wide. Everybody loved living single, and watched it. Because it was so successful, NBC wanted something like that, so they just took it. Disgraceful. Except with friends, it did not appeal to a wide audience. Just a white/Jewish audience

Living Single was without a doubt the best sitcom at this times. I felt they were cut-off by the network because they were way better than Friends. In fact, I cannot stand Friends. I watched it once and never again. The network couldn't stand a Black sit-com better than a white one. Case closed.

It's like they used the last season to just tie up loose ends... Sinclair & Overton got married...Regine's handsome Millionaire found her and they got Married..Kadijah and her Childhood love got back together.. Kyle and Max got together..and she was expecting their child....Friends was just a different version of their Popular series..It seems like there was already a plan to cancel the series...before the last season started...With both Living Single and Friends both being based on Single friends in New York..They could have did many cross over episodes.. Friends only had one black guest star... Gabrielle Union...Maybe Aisha Tyler I think too.. They never had a black guy come into the coffee Cafe...or Move into the building...In multicultural New York.... the series wasn't one I watched often.

I have to admit , Friends was treaded like the mark up brand and Living Single was treated as the knock off so to speak, I never watched an episode of Friends while it was on the air because of that treatment. I agree with T C Carson that the cast of Living Single was robbed of its glory, and I still believe that to this day..

Living Single was a great show about 4 women and 2 men and one was a handy man and the other was a stock broker, so you have money and taking care of things around the house; Max was a lawyer, she held her own; Regine was just a diva who was into fashion and you have Khadijah who owned her own magazine with giving her cousin a job, Sinclair. It was a funny, well-written show and the characters and their personalities were the star ... the sad part of the show was the feminism. This show was great and legendary and everyone knew it while it was starting until it ended.

there can NOT be innovation without imitation. the people behind making Living Single do not own or have exclusive rights to single people living together. it wasn't an inclusive show that's why it failed to stay on the air. unfortunately a shocking amount of sitcoms have made and continue to make the same mistakes
@jakevendrotti14964 ай бұрын
Did you say living single was not inclusive? Because the demographic data showed that everybody loved and watched it. Actually friends was the one that was not inclusive, which is funny because they ripped off living single.
