    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

    This show aged so much better because of its complexity of personalities but also because it embraced diverse body types and sexualities.

      @@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.

      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.

    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
