Sanford and son was a rip off of what show?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

He ain’t lying.... a lot of shows bit from The Golden Girls.....

 

[Mike the Executioner]

I think at this point, everybody in the Living Single cast has made comments about Friends ripping them off. It almost makes me wonder why the Friends cast wasn't asked about it during the reunion.

Steptoe and son

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

A few guys , a few girls, let's all be friends........

 

[Geek Nasty]

Thought this thread was about her breastmeats

That was Kim Fields

 

[MidwestD]

Like Nas said back in 2001, no idea's original. There's room for both shows.

 

[JLova]

That was Kim Fields

Yes that’s right.

like they would admit it.

shyt, did they even watch LS?

 

[Supa]

Yup, I love both shows.

Rose - Sinclair: Dumb/child like
Blanche - Regine: Lose/sexy
Dorothy - Khadijah: Butch/tomboyish
Sofia - Max: No filter/says anything

That's almost the same breakdown as the four girls from Facts of Life. If you have four characters they're going to follow those tropes.

I actually sat down and watch a mini marathon of friends once high out of boredom when it came on TV…
AND I DID NOT LAUGH ONCE!

There’s white sitcoms I actually find funny (Kings & Queens, Married With Children, etc) but Friends was painfully bland .

And Golden Girls was actually good & funny…I can’t even hate on it.

The only thing good about Friends was the theme and the intro no Capp.

 

[desjardins]

Let's say this is 100% true....ok and? Did Living Single get cancelled because of that or drop in viewership?
It's basically two different targeted demographics. If Friends never existed I don't see Living Single benefitting from that really so what's the point. Both shows were kind of generic ass 90s sitcoms if we being real

 

[Elim Garak]

I swear only on the coli I hear about people watching friends. That shyt was an instant change then and now.

Yep lol

 

[Elim Garak]

Sanford and Son wasn't a ripoff it was based on that show though kinda a remake. That's very different.
