Yeah. And people are doing that yearly thing where they remember Living Single and act like they ever gave a damn about it. King Latifah will forever be known as Cleo, not for Living Single.
Wasn't a bad show at all but no one ever mentions it among the greats.Black Twitter man, so see through like their white liberal overlords.
Thank you lol Idk what he is talking about
They litterally stole the idea for an existing black show living single when they created friends. Surely you see the irony in his statement.
Reba,
Wow they litterally saw the concept and within a year used the exact same one lol. Of course all t.v. shows are variations of existing ideas but you can't deny the timing.A bunch of single twenty somethings was not a novel idea. Three's Company? Adding in additional twenty somethings does not make it groundbreaking.
See the thing is I fukked wit Living Single heavy. But nikkas is ODin. Even the cast of Living Single is salty because they had a choice of names for the show and Friends as a name was pitched to them first. But that happens VERY often. Names get put in a pool and swapped out etc etc. That’s literally a big part of the business. But I’ve NEVER looked at Friends as the same thing as In Living Single and I watched both heavy.
Does it therefore feel like two different shows? Of course! But Friends is still, for lack of a better word, a ripoff of Living Single.
Most of those star a woman but don't focus primarily on a group of women like Living Single did.
Fam stop moving goal posts. Those show’s main characters are women and have men on the sidelines basically. Same as with Living Single. Living Single wasn’t some groundbreaking shyt fam and it wasn’t treated as such while it was out either. FRIENDS ain’t even some all women show. Everyone was the main character on that and that furthers my point that it wasn’t some straight ripoff of Living Single.
It's a difference between saying the whole show focused on females and that the main character was a woman but in the cast had male characters that were just as prominent.
he was always that guy from the Wonder Years to me...he played the older sisters BF
I have no data or research on either one, but I remember the day Living Single first aired and I watched it front and center...I also remember when friends first came out, but I never watched it...I knew about it but never gave it a shot. However, I never equated the two as being similar...I guess I can see it now for the sake of discussion, but back then I didn't see it or notice it. Like a few others have said...single people living together in a comedy wasn't exactly anything new....so Living Single as an idea....wasn't exactly "ground breaking"
