I love how all the black studio audiences knew the theme song.
We are a television generation after all. We know all the theme songs of the shows.
Sorry sweetheart I'm white as a grain of white rice, but I grew up with the show effing love it. I agree with some people that have been on the show stop seeing race and start seeing family and love.
I was cracking up at those who didn't know what was happening...😂😂
@@targetedplantsguy9481 I’m sorry if the comment was misunderstood. It was not so target race but highlight the black audience members knew the song and were singing to it. This was a representation of black HBCU shows which was rare in its time. That’s all that was said. But i do agree that with race aside the show was loved by many.
@@targetedplantsguy9481why are you feeling excluded because someone mentioned the target audience of the show knowing the theme song? Literally nothing was said about white ppl 🤣
This is the difference in culture and lived experiences. The thing people like to deny that exists
I am smiling from ear to ear watching this, so happy for them and what they're continuing to do, this was the show to watch
If you didn't know that Aretha Franklin is the one who sang the theme song to "A Different World", then give back your Black card. 😊
This is so great! I love this interview. I remember A Different World! I love all the characters still to this day.
it would have been nice to include Marisa Tomei.
She was only there for one season, and wasn’t an impactful character.
If you noticed, there was a stark difference in the tone between Season 1 and the rest of the seasons. No Lisa Bonet, no Marisa Tomei, Whitney's friend was gone, etc.
Still one of my favorites shows, the cast looks absolutely amazing. Ms Whoopi Goldberg you look absolutely beautiful. ❤
Debbie FREAKIN Allen is an ICON!! she literally turned this show into a CULT CLASSIC!!!
Facts!!
Yep because the first 2 seasons were Too white
@@hoopstdnation The first two season wreaked of mayo. That's what happens when you allow white people to control black images--it's a recipe for a horrible outcome.
@@hoopstdnationWhy were they too white
In spite of Bill Cosby. Debbie did what was right. Supported the cast. Made HISTORY that's still being told🏫👨🏽🏫 🎒📚👩🏽👨🏽.
One of the most important shows to ever be made. Thank you Debbie Allen for the gift. Your legacy is immeasurable.
I am 54 yrs. old and still love and watch this show daily. It is still so relevant today.
I commented earlier, every couple of years I rewatch the series. I still quote some of their lines from time to time. It was a really great show
Where can you watch it?
@@Robnags They show reruns on the various BET stations. I also believe it can be seen on MAX.
I have watched religiously since TV One aired it every day and later on streaming.
I'm excited like it's a Thursday night in 1988
Right?????😂😂😂
So Jaleesa (Dawnn) just found the fountain of youth, huh? 🎉🎉🎉😊
Exactly. 😅Seems like She hasn’t aged a bit
Word.. And she was the older one of the student characters. She looks great and is really friendly. I met her at Essence Fest a few years back.
Ok, she looks Amazing
TRUE, TRUE 😊
She looks awesome. She's in her 60s
The wedding was so unforgettable.
SO Unforgettable!!!!!
The best wedding scene to date. Plus we got Eli Rowan Pope (Scandal) bc of whitley 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
@@TT-xj3siYeahhh Exactly
Diahann Carrol was classic in that wedding scene. 😂
My all time favorite show...if you're a true fan you know everyline from that iconic scene!!! They've all aged so gracefully and I love that they're still so close❤❤❤🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
I would've fallen over if "Chipmunk 's" Mama, Ms Patti LaBelle came out. Sure wish Ms Diahann Carroll was still here as well. 🦋
To this day when I recall Diahnn's character asking Patti Labelle's character on Thanksgiving: "Are those CHITTERLINGS?" I 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😁😁😁😁
Aretha's voice put soul and spirit to the song, with a gospel feel to it. JUST WONDERFUL!!!
This was an AMAZING interview. I love A Different World!!!! Black Culture is a vibe!!!!❤
I was singing right along!! My fave tv show of all time!! ❤❤❤
This felt like a conversation amongst friends or a close family gathering. Thank you for bringing us all along!
Definitely felt like a family reunion!
So many Generation X and Gen Y enrolled at HBCU's because of the profound impact of this most iconic series. "A Different World" was truly in a league of it's own. 20 million views weekly was unprecedented and forever cemented Debbie Allen as an iconic producer. Thanks to the entire cast for having an impact on my life and the lives of multiple generations 🙌🏽 🤎👍🏼🙏🏻😊.
I ALWAYS loved that intro ... one of the absolute best there ever was/is 🥰🤩
Sarah Haines always gets the invite.
And she delivers. Fits right in😊
because she hasn't said or done anything black women consider problematic yet
@@wcp4jcShe never will cause she’s got eQ
No.
Smh. It's like these people are family. I absolutely LOVED this show. It's so beautiful to see them all. Loved every minute!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I am 77 years old and I still watch the re-runs, this is a classic.
I'm mad because Kim is not there I was so in love with that gorgeous chocolate Queen 😍when I was a kid
Something must have held her up because she was at the White House with the others.
So nostalgic and exciting to see them again. Yay!❤
Lord I loved that show, so wonderful to see all the faces again
Yeah but where is Denise Huxtable
The only shows that I allow my 8 year old grandson to watch without me in the same room (to hurry switch the channel because of inappropriate content) is A Different Word and the Cosby Show. Thank you Bill Cosby !
*Legends* ✨💛✨
I'm British and this was on Channel 4 (I think) at tea time in the 90s. Loved it!!
It was so nice to see them, one of my favorite American sitcoms of all times just one thing, though: I wish they would had asked about Sinbad!
How do you know he was not asked. He is recovering from a pretty bad stroke.
@@ppwilbonShe said asked about him, not asked him.
@@mykoniichistorychannel Sorry we all make mistakes
Yeah. I thought that since they showed the clip that they would have mentioned him. I wonder if they went too long with their talking and couldn't get to mention him. Thst happens.
White people except Sarah wondering what in the world are they singing😂😂😂😂😂
I know every word. Never missed an episode! ❤
Sarah and you
A good many, perhaps ... I was too busy working in the 80s and 90s to catch but a few episodes, myself, but I still love that intro and hope to stream what I missed soon 🤩😊
This is probably the best view moment ever.
Yes!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I agree!
Dawn still looks and sound amazing !!!
I’m ballin’ this was delightful 😊😊
Me tooooooo 🥲
I'm 55 and bawling! 😢 Reuniting with my college friends in my head!
I need more of Jasmine Guy*
Watch her interview on The Breakfast Club
That was so much fun! It was like watching the series all over again. Great interview!!!
Love love love the show.... One of my favorites growing up. Glad to see them all, God bless them ❤❤❤
I grew up watching this show!!
Memories 😊
For some strange reason i liked this show better than the cosby show
Its not strange, I feel the same way.
I was thinking the same thing! I never cared for the Cosby Show (found it to be corny) but I loved A Different World.
I love A Different World..at 56 I still watch it, and that wedding seen Ms. Dianne Carroll was everything with her "die just die" 😂😂.. I love seeing them, praying Sinbad heals completely..miss his clean comedy.
"Baby Please" was the best part! 😂
That DW theme song “View” style is like going to “Chuuch”. So much fun!
Different World should be adapted into a stage play.
Beautiful moment in the beginning ❤
I'm not black and I know that song. I love that show. I wish they would do a reboot!
Reboots of classics usually suck, but this generation needs a show like this badly. There's many subjects that could be talked about that didn't exist back then.
As a kid, I had the biggest crush on Dwayne Wayne. I wasn't even old enough to have a boyfriend but there was just something about seeing a smart educated man that I recognized and looked for when I started dating.
Yes!!!! And I still like the guys that were “nerds”.
"Jaleesa" is the only that doesn't get old. 🙂
She looks so good!!!!!
Let's go Pt.2! I didn't know that one of the cast members is the original songwriter of that song! Such a classic and yes I was singing along with the audience. ~ I know Kadeem gave Whoopi a pair of those glasses, we all remember Jumping Jack Flash now!
I didn't know Aretha Franklin sang the song, how did I miss that?
@@sable7114She was dating Glyn Thurman at that time. (Colonel Taylor on the show).
@@rheeryder2524 oh yes I recall that and I forgot he was on the show.
@sable7114 Really...Wow...Ok.
@@jonjonharreld7602 yep, after meeting Kadeem Hardison and some others on the set of renaissance man I forgot a whole lot of people from the show🤔
Love ❤❤❤❤this....🥰👋🏼⚘️❤️😎
This was one of the best, most dramatic scenes ever! I could have watched it over & over again. Fantastic, ionic classic show!
The Kadeem and @VontelleEyewear collab is dope!!
A priceless line in history!!!🤍🤍🤍
I 🤎 Mr. Kadeem's outfit. I paused to see all of the Pan African symbolism✊🏾
I only wish they didnt cut it off before we could see the glasses he gave to Sunny, Whoopi, and Sara.
This made my heart smile. 🙌🏽❤️
Thank you so much for giving them all the time deserved. This was perfection.
All the white people in the audience.members bopping to the song not knowing the words unlike the black audience members 😂😂😂😂
Aretha wasn't playing on that theme song
Aretha Franklin The Queen Of Soul Doesn't Play Around On Any Song That She Sings And That's Why She's Crowned The Queen Of Soul...One Love Fam.
❤❤❤❤❤ the reason I went to college!
This was one of the best shows of my childhood! 😄❤️
I frikin loved, love a Different World❤
Debbie Allen STILL lookin hot.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE AMAZING. GOD’S 🎁 ❤ 💫
Yea ONLY blacks
Yes they tried so hard to break our spirit but black Americans are amazing!
@@saramatthews7159 yuck
@@scottmartin9499 I wish you love and peace. God Bless ❤
THE JOY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
They need to do a two hours show. Pick up with Kim as a doctor, Freddie a lawyer, Ron as bar/night club owner
I did an entire update for a spinoff
Lord they did all they could but they could not take our spirit!
They can’t take what is God’s. EVER ❤
Top 3 favorite sitcom of all time
The guy in the suit is like I ain’t messing up this tux 😂😂😂 I ain’t moving lol

❤Jasmine guy
This experience [it was more than a show] will ALWAYS be a highlight of my childhood 🤩
They don’t know how much this meant to us!
Aw… I wish they would have video in Simbad….he’s doing so much better now
❤
Sup guy posing as a woman
I loved this show💖
I was so Whitley!
My show, Love them ❤️
Wow, it's because of this show, a few of my cousins and I graduated from an HBCU.
LOVED This Show... We need a reunion!!!! a spin off!!!!!
This show inspired so many people around the world past & present thank you to Debbie Allen & Bill Cosby for their moral compass & perseverance bringing A Different World into View for all to see
Iconic song and show
Iconic spinoff show created by Bill Cosby! Thank you, inspired this lil gurl from the hood to go to college! I didn't even cosider anything else... My grandmother born in 1934 and raised near B'Ham,Al. Im apart of her legacy!!! She always promoted me to get my education! Now, I couldn't afford to go to an HSBC, but the idea of college and seeing people that looked like me definitely helped! Much appreciation to these actors! I got my degree in 2009👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
REBOOT!!!! But use the same actors and it's just what their lives would be like now getting their kids through college.
Thanks for sharing your Family. All the Best. I had an amazing evening ✨
I watch ADW regularly thanks to TV One. 😁
My Absolute Favorite show.
I can't believe how young Deborah Allen looks
Completely hilarious that the yt ppl were clapping but the black ppl were actually singing the song . 😅😅😅😅😅
Who cares
Too be fair, the bulk of the white people in the audience were too young to know ADW.
Love this!!🎉❤
It would have been nice to see Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei there.
Loved this show so so much!! ❤
I grow up on watching the show in the 90s. The cast look great.
I want those glasses!!
I wished they could have come to STL
Remember to go to the website to see which school they will be visiting next . We have two in my town right across the street from each other
The confusion on the white audience members faces!!😂😅
The wedding was so unbelievable.
Love Love ❤️
I love this show so much 🥹
🖤💎🖤💎🖤💎🖤💎🖤
#DifferentWorld
The wedding was my favorite part of the show
I want a follow-up show???
I loved this show and would not miss it every week. I now watch the reruns! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah I know every word to the theme song!
