Kyle Barker & Maxine Shaw on Half & Half with their daughter

[@gabb815]

Underrated crossover. It’s a shame we never got a spinoff show or a living single reunion episode with them as their characters

[@dramasiin3195]

Fun fact the years after living single the main cast were actually constantly spotted together in other shows
Kyle and max : half and half
Obie and synclaire : one in one as spirits parents

[@realjohnlove]

I just recently found out that TC Carson did not quit, WB fired him. He brought up how Friends was just a whitewashed version of Living Single, they even recorded on the same lot. It was obvious to him that while they were separate, it was definitely not equal in their treatment. They fired him for being "too difficult". Then pretty much blackballed him.

[@ericawhite9430]

Kyle and max should have had a show starring just them,can you see them together parenting a child,this show would have been hilarious 😂

[@cherylbrantley4736]

Well reading back on how the entire show and staff were treated we’re lucky Living Single was even on the air.

[@martinbirdwell7986]

I think they black listed T. C. Carson

[@Tanishaluvzmumbai]

They should try to make it now with their grand children it would still be hilarious…daughter moves back home with husband cause the economy is crap opens law firm with mom while her son who is exactly like grandpa dabbles in theatre and business…. lol I can see it I see it lmao another baby on the way and stay at home dad (process of looking for chef jobs because ofcourse max and Kyle’s daughter would bring home a son in law that is a chef lol)
tries to keep the peace between max and Kyle and the whole family and of course frequent visits from the other ladies ofcourse and when sinclaires family comes over there is always entertainment 😂😂😂😂

Yvette Bowser created both shows…Living Single and Half & Half…Maxine went to the Sperm Donor clinic and ended up getting impregnated with one of Kyle Barkers’ donations…on that show’s final episode…she decided to get back in touch with Kyle who was living in Europe…and they got married …but is it truly canon or just a fan service moment !

They didn't marry but were engaged! ❤ They had a girl!! 😊
