Both shows have been comforting to me (Living Single and Girlfriends).
True, the vibe for each is different, but so are the times. The innocence
of “Living Single” and “Different World” has gone the way of Sugar Hill
Gang, baddest MC rap and Jackson Family members with normal cute
cute noses. It’s the edgy millenium don’t cha know. True, the Tracee
Ellis Ross character may be a bit desparate, but that is us too. Bottem line;
I need to see us- innocent, collegiate, struggling, successful or desparate,
but wonderfully B-L-A-C-K.

I do long for shows depicting positive lives of Black women, like Living Single. I watch the reruns whenever I catch them. Girlfriends to me was not a good show-the women did not seem very “friend” like at all. All the cackling, neck-rolling, name-calling, etc. Not how me and my girlfriends act towards each other at all!

Thank you for this post. I miss Living Single. It was a true representation of my life and the lives of my sistalove friends. We need more programming like that again. I am hopeful that the web TV will encourage folks to create similar programming.
