I just finished all 6 seasons last week. Is it worth watching all 6? Not really. I watched it purely for nostalgia and the fact that I hadn't seen most of the episodes back in the day. And keep in mind Lisa Bonet and Marisa tome were only in the first season. The next five center mostly around Dwayne, Ron etc.
I remember when it was on, and although I was young, it was a good show for a sitcom of its genre, it fit it nicely with the scope of black middle class shows (cosbys, family matters etc) back then. If you watched those shows back then, then it fit in nicely and carried its weight.
However, when I look at it with adult eyes and ears today, the acting with some of the characters is horrendous. Sinbad definitely held his own though. And it just goes to show how cheesy and simple sitcoms were back then.
I personally think the 5th season is the best...they delt with more realistic situations.
its your duty to watch if you black honestly though skip the first season it was produced by white people until the second season when debbie allen came aboard.
I think the show started going down hill in season 6. There was some very good episodes such as the ones already mentioned as well as the digit hoe and seasonal finale episodes, but other than that I wasn't really feeling season six.
Seasons 2-5 are the best seasons imo.

Yeah you could tell that they were shifting focus around season 4 with a new cast...and I liked season 6 but I think that's only because I saw the evolution of the storyline after watching it from the beginning; but for people who would've just been picking up the show in 1993...the characters just weren't strong enough to carry a new generation.
Season 1 almost seemed like it never happened....and season 6 you could tell that it started depending on celebrities to keep the audiences attention....excluding the series finale...they had Tupac, Kris Kross, Billy Dee William, Heavy D, and Lena Horne in like the last few episodes.

I've never watched a whole episode of "A Different World" (or "The Cosby Show") but...
That's the only season that has Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei. I ain't skipping it if I ever get into the show.

I watched the complete season 1 on youtube without realizing the entire show was on Netflix a few months ago. 
I got it queued up to start when I'm done with my other show.
I remember this being one of the shows my parents used to watch when it was new, but I was a child so I don't remember much of it.
and I doubt that it's better than The Cosby Show...

Why would you watch that season just to look at them when they both have sex scenes on the internet from movies you talking like we still in the 90s.
