Never watched friends. Living single took a hit when they fired Kyle barker character. Him and max back and forth and finally getting together is what made the show special
@@lorenzosmith5932 I said they "embraced" diverse sexualities. Besides at least two of the actors are so they didn't go there. In addition, they had a story line on it concerning Max's college roommate. Friends had consistent jokes about weight and homophobic lines which wasn't true for Living Single which is why Living Single aged better.
Do yourself a favor and skip to 13:30. Then after 10 seconds, skip to 14:30 because it just repeats again. The actual useful content is like 45 seconds.
I don’t think she gets the flowers she deserves to this day, but she reminded me so much of Brandi back then with the braids and bob. I looked up to both of them. When Girlfriends came on, I saw a bit of Max in Toni’s character with her quick wit and sarcasm, not to mention she was the beautiful dark skin bestie. I like to think Maxine Shaw inspired Toni, and that makes me feel a little better about how we honor and appreciate Erica and her beauty.
It was an executives decision to keep this show but white washed it they went to a new network or had new management and they wanted this show but like you said white washed it
Friends is hilarious and to me, Living Single was more like a younger group of women that had the same character personalities as Golden Girls , with 2 guys added.
I loved this show as a young teen and my parents thought it was random. My mother grew to love it after actually sitting and watching it with me. We’re Mexican by the way lol. I rewatched the series in 2020 and as an adult, it’s way more entertaining. The acting is top tier, great plot development, and the ladies are so beautiful. What’s not to love?
I still watch this TV show It's one of my favorites! And Kyle got fired but they sure did bring him back for the last few episodes, that's bcuz they knew they messed up
Agreed. He just kept saying the same thing over and over in different ways. How it was based on the creators own experience. How it brought elements of African American culture with humor and depth. Like, we saw the show. We already know it was good and did a great job of portraying these elements.
He was basically going to the producers nd set directors to discuss the problems the cast was having and supposedly it caused issues for him so they got rid of him
A show full of people that look like and remind me of my family basically. Like my mom dressed like Queen Latifa, my cousin Najie looked like kyle, Overton look and acts like my uncle earl - very mild mannered and thoughtful. He also cousin Bam bam, Synclair acted just like my cousin Tyra(not in the naive way, tyra was a bubbly very smart funny girl. She actually was the first one i remember going to college at a University on scholarship and running track in my family. She just constantly crack jokes since she was a kid. Shed literally get out of whoopins By making my auntie Tricia laugh since she was a kid), regine acts like my cousin Lisa 😂😂😂😂 My mom I feel like it's actually one of those rare people that's a fan of Queen latifah as an artist like she used to buy and listen to Queen latifah's music like people usually look at her only as an actress
I'm in film school. Most of my coharts are White but there were few Black, Hispanic, and Asian people in there. They kept picking Friends. I was gonna submit Living Single but I knew they'd choose Friends. So disconnected. Smh Was my acting class
Dear Lord, I pray for the person reading this that You remind them that no matter what their circumstances are at this very moment that You see them. You see them when they cry, when they're weak and feel weary. Help them to feel Your love in those moments and remind them that they are not alone and that You love them without conditions. Be their joy and peace from this day forward. In Jesus name, Amen.
I loved the show me & my mom felt that the charters this TV series was really great and it did seem more like real life . This show had warmth 😀☕ 16:5516:55

Agreed
To this day this is one of my comfort shows. I can watch it everyday
Word
This show aged so much better because of its complexity of personalities but also because it embraced diverse body types and sexualities.
No one was gay. So how was their sexualities diverse???
@@lorenzosmith5932😅😅

@@lorenzosmith5932Dennis was definitely gay
I watched the whole thing over 3 yrs ago.. still hilarious. They don't make shows like this anymore

They don’t make a lot of things like they used to before 😩😩😩

Thank you so much
Omg I thought I was tripping. I’m like did he not just say that twice before?
These young men and women had careers and doing pretty well for themselves. Not sure how Jaleel White considered this a “hood show”. 🤦🏽♀️
That part
💯 percent facts!
No he did NOT
He's Jaleel White, what's new...
He was salty
I didn’t appreciate how beautiful max was back then because straight hair and relaxers were in
I don’t think she gets the flowers she deserves to this day, but she reminded me so much of Brandi back then with the braids and bob. I looked up to both of them.

Factz
And what does that have to do with her looks?
@@ranger13 what did my comment have to do with you???
What do you really mean, because it couldn’t have been the hair? 🤔
I noticed their early seasons had the same set as Family Matters lol
Just the first episode
Ppl called me krazy lol 😂
Just the first episode lol
Ok first episode y’all know I meant lol I haven’t watch Living Single in years to remember the specifics lol
@@deespearmannah u said first season 😂😂😂
Never watched friends never will. Even Ray Charles could tell that show was a copy white wash version of Living Single
It was an executives decision to keep this show but white washed it they went to a new network or had new management and they wanted this show but like you said white washed it
If u never watched it……🤔🤔🤔
Friends was epic in its own right
@ nah hard pass. I watched enough whyte people on TV. The show was not realistic or relatable in any aspect of living in NYC.
Friends is hilarious and to me, Living Single was more like a younger group of women that had the same character personalities as Golden Girls , with 2 guys added.
Who wrote this? Because how long is it going to keep repeating itself? This is so pooorly written.
I thought I was tripping
Right
Did they even say why show ended?
I thought I was hearing wrong. He is repeating himself.

This is one of those series that should have absolutely produced 8 seasons easy
Living Single is an underrated, under-celebrated show. Friends definitely was inspired by the show.
Max was SO fine!!
Still is!
@@TChalla616came to say this, she is aging like fine wine
Is*
Literally that is what I was thinking the entire video!
She was fine. Maxine and Kyle were the hottest couple. He was FOINNNE too lol
Miss that show. I still watch reruns & cd collection just like Martin.
The lesson I got from this is that if everyone doesn’t take a stand then don’t stand alone as you’ll be the only one pushed off the cliff.
When I say "RIDE THE MAVERICK... I mean it!" 🤣 Such a good show.
I still watch this TV show It's one of my favorites! And Kyle got fired but they sure did bring him back for the last few episodes, that's bcuz they knew they messed up
Me too . I still watch it
In season 5? I just rewatched and they didn’t bring him back at the end of season 5
@@sisterscope yes they did he's on the last 2 episode when Max told him he was the father of his child. And then they got back together.
You make these videos long by repeating yourself from time to time
I want the 1990s back
You and I both.
Watching living single as i stumbled up on this video... Still one of my favorite shows
Friends was a good show as well butttt living single will FOREVER be my fav show. I could relate to or admire each character on this show.
Thisss❤ friends became my comfort sho before I found living single and now I'm obsessed with it😂
I felt this video just glazed the show and didn’t get the the issue we came for.
Agreed. He just kept saying the same thing over and over in different ways. How it was based on the creators own experience. How it brought elements of African American culture with humor and depth. Like, we saw the show. We already know it was good and did a great job of portraying these elements.
Living Single > Friends
"In a 90's kind of world, I'm glad I got my girls!" I love this show. I just binge watched it last month. Brought back a lot of memories!
Keep ya head up WHAAAT keep ya head up that’s right!! ❤
So why did T.C. get fired
He was basically going to the producers nd set directors to discuss the problems the cast was having and supposedly it caused issues for him so they got rid of him
Living single is love.
yeah..
absolutely.
Living Single is life

I loved this show! Still do 😊
Tc Carson voices Kratos in GOW 1,2,and 3 only. Christopher Judge does the old man Kratos shown.
I keep trying to tell ppl he did kratos in the first games.
I watched the show. I loved it so much.❤
As a kid and teenager in the 90s I loved Living Single. Never could get into Friends though and it always felt like it was over the top to me.
Living Single was was amazing. Friends was TRASH! fight ya momma! 💯
I'm in film school. Most of my coharts are White but there were few Black, Hispanic, and Asian people in there. They kept picking Friends. I was gonna submit Living Single but I knew they'd choose Friends. So disconnected. Smh Was my acting class
I met Erica Alexander
This show was loved in South Africa.

this and sister sister were my favorite shows
FLAVA..... not FLAVOR
It was Flavor
I used to lov3 this show as an 80's baby!!
One of my favorite shows growing up and now
That deal with the studios should be explored more because its key to TV/Film success.
The creators of Friends should be ashamed of themselves.
No
Why is this video repeating the same thing over and over?
Sooo we gonna talk about Martin and Seinfeld next???? Just wondering?
Currently watching living single and I am obsessed on this show
And Then Friends came along..... each making millions of dollars per episode....
Legendary Sitcom Period!
LIVING SINGLE JUST A FOX STEPPING STONE !!!
For me I think it was In Living Color was its stepping stone
Like most black shows because pilgrims can't survive without coping black 🖤 folks
Are u saying that from a Black sitcom perspective because Married with Children is what legitimately put that network on the map
Was the question actually answered in this video? 😢
Idc I like living single and friends !!! I understand where yall coming from but both shows still has something different imo !!
I still watch this
I still watch reruns
Why don't the cast of living single recognize their similarities to golden girls
Right
I loved the show me & my mom felt that the charters this TV series was really great and it did seem more like real life . This show had warmth 😀☕ 16:55 16:55
Im so sick of those thumbnails you make🤣🤣🤣🤣 im finished wit you.
I was looking for them boobs
Waaaaaaaay better and would of never happened if it wasnt for living single
This was my show. It I been on much longer with that being said I b feel like the narrator said the same things over and over
The original “Friends”
Friends ripped this off!
Even the opening was stolen by friends
This video said the same thing over and over again.
Living single..
They were the black version of friends .
❤️🔥🔥🔥
hee just said the same thing over and over smh
This show will always be funny. This show is waaaaayyyy more funny and memorable than "friends". Sorry not sorry.
Max fine asf still
Capper!🤨

Just longly repeating yourself and wrongly titled 😒👎🏽
👍
