Living Single was one of the best written sitcoms ever. The casts’ relationships were top notch. I tape reruns and can’t get enuff! Erika Alexander Rocks!
Glenda Curry I do too!! Today I discovered MTV2 airs it as well!! I was in college when this show was on and Ericka’s right. Watching the reruns definitely brings me joy, makes me laugh, and most of all, it takes me back to the happiest time in my life! My 20’s. LOL

I heard the show and network actually didn’t think she could bring comedy to the cast because her character on Cosby Show wasn’t particularly that funny. But yes she was very funny on Living Single
I believe it because you said it, but my mind refuses to accept it, this beautiful woman right here, to my eye, 👁 looks like her age is somewhere between 30-33yrs. This is not what 50yrs of age looks like,...I'm going to need further proof/confirmation, until then,.....
@@Mimi-cg2cw I disagree, white people and latina women age in dog years, lack of melanin makes the sun age them faster, their body may be fit but skin looks old, normally after the 1st child its all down hill.

Yessss she not Stressing anymore I'm sure like she said Black women have to work harder and prove they talent more even though we are the best at what we love to do!
@@BlahBlah3244 We rarely saw it on TV back then. Black women were still mostly wearing their relaxed hair or straight weaves/wigs.

LOVED her on that show. I remember I wanted my hair done like hers!!! Now. Let’s not sleep on what she said about black women!

@@chevyDboyMike In the interest of fairness. It always amazes me when people have these queries of black women, but not for black men who make the same choices.
This show is still so freaking relevant. I use to watch it with my mom when I was way young, I remember it being funny but not understanding the relationships and drama and some of the jokes. Rewatched it recently as a now 32 year old and it's so relatable and even more hilarious now that I understand it. I recommend everyone.. especially black women..to give this a watch through. Maxine was the one I most related to, but I saw a little of myself in all of them.
Yes, I watched the show in my teens and Maxine Shaw was to me at first the lazy ghetto professional type. But now as a grown woman myself, her character is everyrrything! I still watch on tv one every morning I can. She is and was back then, the s.h.i.t.
@@kaleshabrown About to do a third rewatch here soon, i heard they have girlfriends on netflix now too. I was like a teen when that one came out and i want to watch it now as an adult.
Yeees i agree. She is so very underrated. And Max was definitely my favorite character on the show as well. I named my daughter after her character Maxine Shaw. Just love Erika Alexander. So beautiful, intelligent, poised and classy. 🙏🏽💪🏾😘😍💞👠🤗🤗
doesn't matter if you "made it big" or if you didn't...you positively affected many people with your strong sense of self in the role of Max. i think you're absolutely wonderful Erika.
Please learn how to give a woman a compliment. If you have to mention her age it is not a compliment. If she was not black, I am sure you would have simply said she looks very good.
Michelle I’m a 39yr old Black man. Hence why I called her “sis”. What does her being Black have to do with this? 🤷🏾♂️ Why would mentioning her age somehow negate the compliment? I mentioned her age because she looks much younger than her age. This is a BAD thing? Michelle, I posted a compliment, something positive, you were just looking for something to be negative about.
Living Single was, in my opinion, one of the greatest sitcoms ever!! I still regularly stream the series on Hulu and unlike so many of it's predecessors and successors, the show holds up just as well today as it did back in the early 90's. For years I've heard rumors of a series re-boot and since this is the show's 30th anniversary, there is no better time than the present!! I'd love to see it happen, or at the very least an updated reunion show featuring all cast members (Queen Latifah did not appear in the reunion special). Because of my love of Living Single, I actually attempted to watch "Friends" but I just never could get into it. It always pissed me off that even though "Friends" was nothing but a direct attempt to rip off a FAR SUPERIOR show and in my opinion, as well as many others, failed miserably at doing so, in terms of quality of content, it still reached the level of success that it did because of the way it was advertised, promoted, and supported. Even with the popularity of Living Single and the success in the ratings for Fox, the show never got anywhere near the same attention or support from the network. Though the shows were on different networks, (Living Single was on the FOX Network and Friends was on NBC), both were Warner Brothers productions. The final nail in the coffin for Living Single was the network moving them from Sunday nights, which had been their home from the beginning, to put the show on Thursday nights in direct competition with the very show that stole their premise
Just stumbled on this after seeing a living single rerun. She is so right about the pleasure and nostalgia her role provided then and provides now. Loved that show, it's one of those rare ones where you have fond memories of all the cast :)
I use to watch this show when I was six years old (still do). I didn't have a clue what the topic was on back then until I grew to understand the episode's but I enjoy the fact that the women and men were successful and support each other.
She is my favorite character! I enjoy her energy, her power yet how she was vulnerable with Kyle! Just a great character! I'm grateful I get to watch this show every day.
Living single still in heavy rotation with new fans every year, just like Martin. Ms. Alexander I loved you as Max, and after listening to you in this clip I see you were and still is a true Soul Sistah. Living single can truly make a come back. Like if you'd loved to see Max Kyle Regine Kadijah Overton and Sinclair 26 years older in an up to date Living Single.
I think Erica also fell into the trap of being identified with her reoccurring role as “Maxine Shaw” and not being able to reinvent herself into another personality in Hollywood. I think about Jaleel White playing Erkel, or Dustin Diamond playing Screech in Saved By The Bell. Notably Will Smith had the ability to play several breakout roles that established him as a force in Hollywood, likewise with Jamie Fox, to even Queen Latifah. I love seeing Erica on the screen because I remember her as a talented actress, liken to so many other black actors and actresses. I just hate that so many have been reduced to either stereotypical roles or not being seen at all in current productions.
That's a lie, plenty of ugly black old women walking around. I seen good looking older women in all races. Indeed they are more frequent on those with melanin than those without.
I realized I want listening to her either (even tho she's v insightful and have a lot of important things to say). I was just thinking about how she's always been fine lol
I met her recently. Other than me being absolutely awestruck - Erica was extremely gracious in spending a few minutes talking with me just about "Brother/Sister, how are you doing?" Like family... I love her and support her fully in all her endeavors.. She is a beautiful human being!!! Straight up!!
One of my most fave shows. And Maxine was our GURL, lol, My young sons and I LOVED her. Even through her character, you could see the human being was (is) intelligent and powerful. My youngest son at the time, at 10 years old, said, 'THAT'S who I'm gonna marry when I grow up!" And guess what... he DID! He married a beautiful, sharp as a tack black woman. Thank you Maxine (Erika!)!
Soon I Hope!! I am Ready!!!! See how Max and Kyle and there Daughter has Grown!! She was just like both of them on the Comedy TV show Half n Half!! She was like 7/8 then I hope she is a Lawyer like her Mom Max!!!! Oh Max n Kyle was Still the Same at each other throats!!!! That Episode on Half n Half was Good!!!! I am going to find it to look at it on my App NOW!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!👏🏽
I watched this show all of the time during its original run, and I still watch it all of the time today. The show still feels fresh, and when I watch it, I feel like I’m in the company of friends.
I always loved her. I hated that I haven't seen her more in tv & movies!! She is so talented. Funny, but I shed a tear a few times from her dramatic acting. She deserves more!!!
... she looks AWESOME and I still watch Living Single reruns in 2019!! fav episode was the one about Greg and any episode with her and Kyle as a couple!!!
I don't think so.. I married a boy from the hood..I was a professional women. This is how a woman with class dress. I love it..u sound racist...married a White man because 90 percent of the Black men who succeed don't want dark on their arm. Ask Spike Quincy the Jackson's Terrance Michael Eddie Dave and the list goes on..Black on Black love is rare..

This is what 50 looks like with most sistas !! My wife and all her cousins over 45 all have that youthful look!!
😊❤😍
Why she hate on will smith
Yaaas! We be Fifty and FINE!
How many people need living single to comeback in the 2k’s?🙋🏾♀️
Full series is on hulu😉
Please God no. So sick of shows "coming back." Until the vibe and energy and talent of the 90s come back, no.
On TV ONE daily
We do, but not watered down like the rest of today's shows
I LOVED her on Living Single!! I wish we had seen more of her over the years.
i ain't heard a word she said, I'm sorry I was caught up in her beauty, baby girl fine as hell.
I realized I want listening to her either (even tho she's v insightful and have a lot of important things to say). I was just thinking about how she's always been fine lol
Summer time fine 🥰
Loved this show. Such an iconic part of our upbringing
Dang she’s still Beautiful 💯😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
I met her recently. Other than me being absolutely awestruck - Erica was extremely gracious in spending a few minutes talking with me just about "Brother/Sister, how are you doing?" Like family... I love her and support her fully in all her endeavors.. She is a beautiful human being!!! Straight up!!
I am still in love with this woman after ALL these years.
Underrated. Gifted for real. The best player in this cast, always thought so. Watch her in La Mission. She needs to come back!
One of my most fave shows. And Maxine was our GURL, lol, My young sons and I LOVED her. Even through her character, you could see the human being was (is) intelligent and powerful. My youngest son at the time, at 10 years old, said, 'THAT'S who I'm gonna marry when I grow up!" And guess what... he DID! He married a beautiful, sharp as a tack black woman. Thank you Maxine (Erika!)!
WOW!!
Max was and still is my favorite character on living single love her
A true life Wonder Woman on so many levels. Thank-you Erika Alexander for sharing your life and craft with us.
You guys, she looks the same as she did 30 YEARS AGO.
Are you blind? I don't even recognize this woman. She is attractive but looks like a totally different person.
@@charlottecarlos6296 No. Im not blind.
@@breezygodiva503
Sorry. She just looks like a different person.
Not in a bad way. I just
don't recognize her face.
@@charlottecarlos6296 maybe get your eyes checked
Maxine Shaw- Vote for the Maverick! Love her ! Miss shows like Living Single!
I still watch the Living Single re-runs. Love this show, hopefully they will do a reunion with all of the cast members.
Soon I Hope!! I am Ready!!!! See how Max and Kyle and there Daughter has Grown!! She was just like both of them on the Comedy TV show Half n Half!! She was like 7/8 then I hope she is a Lawyer like her Mom Max!!!! Oh Max n Kyle was Still the Same at each other throats!!!! That Episode on Half n Half was Good!!!! I am going to find it to look at it on my App NOW!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!👏🏽
Still youthful looking, still beautiful. Black don’t crack.
She is correct that when we see someone who has been in a comedy we tend to light up. A feeling of nostalgia warms our bodies.
I have been rewatching living single and she was my fave on the show.
I watched this show all of the time during its original run, and I still watch it all of the time today. The show still feels fresh, and when I watch it, I feel like I’m in the company of friends.
I truly pray that Mrs. Alexander receives all her Invisions fulfilled. Adonai's blessings to you Queen.❤
I always loved her. I hated that I haven't seen her more in tv & movies!! She is so talented. Funny, but I shed a tear a few times from her dramatic acting. She deserves more!!!
She is so beautiful! I love that she is still doing her thing creatively.
She is so 3💯💃🙏🏾
"Fine like wine" is how you would describe Erika today.
I love the theme song. I was "BLOWED" one day and heard the theme song on a really good sound system. And Erika looks better than 26 years ago.
She’s so beautiful. She was my favorite actress on the show. Definitely did her thing.
... she looks AWESOME and I still watch Living Single reruns in 2019!! fav episode was the one about Greg and any episode with her and Kyle as a couple!!!
Cheryl Lewis me too girl. This generation will NEVER understand what television shows like these meant
Beauty, intelligence and humor is an unbeatable combination and she has it all.
We can't forget about Queen Latifah, she started off as a rapper also.
Erika Alexander is such a talented and intelligent. I'm a fan for life.
Love u Erika. Still watch living single til this day. U r an amazing actress.
I loved her in Get Out... “he is married to a white woman” - “that would explain the clothes”
She was great in that movie!!😂😂😂
Oh yeh, I forgot she was in that!
Sounds like she was being sarcastic in a way considering she is married to a white guy in real life
I don't think so.. I married a boy from the hood..I was a professional women. This is how a woman with class dress. I love it..u sound racist...married a White man because 90 percent of the Black men who succeed don't want dark on their arm. Ask Spike Quincy the Jackson's Terrance Michael Eddie Dave and the list goes on..Black on Black love is rare..
