I like how Jasmine has been speaking up for Lisa Bonet lately.
Omgoodness, I loved this show. I soooo related to Denise Huxtable 😂. I wasn't focused at all during the first few years of my collegiate career.
I liked that Jasmine guy stood up for Lisa Bonet. I don’t like how her character was dummed down. She was quirky, not stupid.
Yep! She always said she didn’t like how they treated Lisa Bonet in the show
Jasmine is a good friend. I always felt they treated Lisa bad. She was misunderstood.
Was there bad blood?
We need A Different World back! Our kids need this show.
I agree - kids need to watch an episode a day (or more) to have an appreciation for college life, and the benefits of education. God bless you!
With this cast as the deans, professors, etc…
amen
Yes, Asap
This generation are too special to evolve in the media like then...they have no stamina.
People in my dorm always compared me to kim Reese on the show...we were both the chocolate girls, cute smiles, same name, I was pre med and known for my strong study ethics...and today I'm a practicing ER physician...I loved this show ❤
Congratulations, Doctor!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

It’s Debbie’s mentorship… oh my God. ❤
I am glad they included Marisa . She’s aged well
Right!
@charlita25 Was that supposed to be a compliment?!?
@@themoor5498You must be new. That's definitely a compliment. Not everyone ages well. Period.
@@bluscorpion 😁😅So true!
Cree Summer so genuine and introspective❤
I remember when they changed the theme song and let Aretha sing the new version boy was I vexed at first because I liked Pheobe Snow's,version so much better but then Aretha's version grew on me.
I was in the military, same age as the cast. I took college classes while in the military because of the show. My oldest baby girl’s name is Jasmine, my friend (another soldier girl) named her son Kadeem, my daughter’s bff name was Jaleesa, and my son’s friend’s name was Cree.
All of us Soldier girls named our kids after y’all. Thank you and Love Different World Forever. ❤
❤❤❤
I loved it too.
That's FREAKING AMAZING❗❗❤
This was one of the best shows, where every acts so realistic due Ms. Debbie Allen!!
Dawnn looks amazing!!
She was always my fave!
Dawn looks like she's in her late 20's❤
She looks good; but-I hate to be Debbie Downer-Jada has had some work done on her face.
Oh, I never tire of watching this RTT episode. ❤
@@InAnotherTimeGirl For sure....🫨🥴🤔
19:14 When Cree said she made FOREVER FRIENDS...I was gone😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
🙂
This was beautiful. A Different World and the Cosby show were the best shows on TV, bar none.
Jeffersons & GOOD TIMES for me and living single
"Unify us and don't divide us." What a perfect ending to a perfect trip down memory lane with the cast of A Different world.
I love our people and I love that we once owned Thursdays nights on TV back in the day to tell our story and see our lives, love, trials, and beauty reflected back at us.
Thank you Jada and Red Table for sharing this beautiful Reunion 😊💜💜💜
I'm 65 years old. I watched every single episode plus had an opportunity to be hired as a union extra on 3 episodes. The television show, "A Different World" is a piece of national treasure. Thank you to the entire crew, actors and executives for bringing these grand episodes/examples of African-American and American life to the entire world. 💝💝❤❤💝💝🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No matter how many interviews or reunions they do, it's never boring and there's always more behind the scenes stuff we learn! I freaking LOVE this show!! And Debbie Allen really is the GOAT!
I graduated college because of A Different World 📺. The show gave me the goal to want to go.
Influential American programming. 🔥🔥🔥
I’m sorry but Debbie Allen saved ADW. The whole vibe was different when she took over. Hardly anyone refers to season 1 unless they are referencing it historically to reflect the inception of the series. This series is engrained into the very fabric of who I grew to be. Having aired the year after I was born and ending when I was about 7, ADW was an intricate part of me and my parents Thursday night. I saw Whitley as a little girl and fell in love 😍 I wanted to be an HBCU student and I wanted to marry a Dwayne Wayne 😂. When it went into syndication over the years I was elated. I got to grow with it all over again at different phases in my own life. It’s eerie how my life is similar to Whitley’s character. Life imitates art, art imitates life.
Agreed!!
Amen! When Debbie Allen took over EVERYONE, got a personality, and the storylines expanded. It became more about college life and how each character was growing into the person they were meant to be.
Yes. The first season was funny but dry.
So surprised that they did not acknowledge Mr. Gaines. RIP LOU MYERS ❤️🙏🏾
Or Sinbad. 😮
He was so amazing!!
or Mary Alice as the interim House Mother and Loretta Devine in the same role.

I lived and died with this show. A year out of high school and one year into a military career..it just seemed like someone had peeked in on my life IN HIGH SCHOOL, not college (because I didnt go to college). But a lot of what they were dealing with in college was stuff that I dealt with personally in high school. The show grabbed me in a way that felt like the producers of the show, KNEW WHO I WAS as a young black person. And that happened when Debbie Allen took over the show. Before she showed up and got everybody in line, I watched the show in a very objective way...never attaching anything personal to it, because I had my doubts about how long the show would stay on, in the first place. I loved the battles between the two legends, Diahann Carroll and Patti LaBelle. And anytime Jenifer Lewis popped up, you knew you were going to have fun.
I'm so excited about watching the Red Table it overwhelmeing that People care so much for me May God continue to bless you and your families we don't know where life will take us but to know that God is still in control is and he is a God that keeps his Promises is all I need it is called A Fullness of Joy written by Dr Karen Hayes -Harris Editor for the National Baptist Convention. This has encouraged me along the way you all count no matter who you are Gwendolyn Boagni
🖤
I love this comment 😊
Oh, I love different world. I couldn’t wait till it came on. I believe it was on Thursday nights. Also, I love the fact that y’all had beautiful shades of Black people on the show. I was PROUD to be black. Thank you Debbie Allen, Bill Cosby, and the cast.
Karen Malina White was at Howard when I was there! She was also Miss Howard one year. I am so proud of her, and her amazing accomplishments! This show was ground breaking, and so much fun to watch.
Thanks for sharing. I think she is such an underrated actress. Sooo hilarious.
Yes!!
This was just awesome to watch. Thank You Jada for the Red Table. Thank You to all of the actors for sharing these stories.
A Different World came out around the same time that I was starting out in life. Watching the show I became inspired to go to college, and to finish. Not only did I finish my undergraduate degree, but I also went back to school for my EMBA. Thank you to each and every one of you that was a part of A Different World. Your show has made a tremendous difference in my life!
Congratulations
HBCU Graduates stand up!! My favorite show🎉🎉Different World.
Morgan State University Alum in the house.
HU - YOU KNOW!
@queenofthesouth, Absolutely, nothing like an HBCU education and experience. #HowardProud!
@@daddygrace253Fellow Bear here. 🎉🎉🎉
I’m so glad I graduated from The Southern University!!
This touched my whole heart. It is really incredible the legacy this show has built. And truly inspired me. Debbie Allen is a phenomenal woman and force and truly is one of a kind. A living icon.
thank you so much for posting this! A Different World was such a huge part of our lives & I.magi.nation, Amen, god bless.📿
This was so great. Aretha sang the stuffing out that theme song.
Uh-huh. With gravy. 😊😊😊🎉
I am at home, lots to do. This video popped
I am like, I'll watch for 5 minutes but end up watching the entire episode. This was one of my favorite shows. Because of this show, I attended an HBCU. I am watching and crying through it. It was so wholesome to see everyone, the bond that they had with each other and knowing what a big difference each person made in my life. I really think this generation needs a show like that, bringing our some young talents. Hats down to such an amazing cast. Madame Debbie, I have no words... exceptional.
I love that they included Marisa Tomei too. #ADifferentWorld Remains one of my top favorite shows. I had such a huge crush on #KadeemHardison. I used to daydream about him and cry over him 😅☺️
I love this was one of the best Red Table talks. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Debbie Allen a few times, because my cousin taught dance class at her dance academy, and my cousin was so close to Debbie, he became Debs god son and he had his wedding at her house in Santa Monica, we had a blast that night dancing, drinking, what a beautiful memory, theres many of memories including hanging out with her kids, but anyways she is so down-to-earth and welcomed us in her beautiful home and her husband & children were also there and very loving too. Thanks you Jada for this episode.❤
Jada is the ABSOLUTE best person to host this reunion. Hands down I would have paid to watch this! Thank you Jada!!!
RON JOHNSON aka Darryl M. Bell always hilarious 😂 📺
I love Aretha’s version classic
Me too also
Classic! There’s only one Ms. Franklin. ❤
It was great to see pretty much the entire cast. Usually we only see the veteran cast members on reunion shows.
Funny that debbie, jasmine, dawn, and jada all sing.
Jada mom is so lucky to get to partake in all of this . Jada is amazingly forgiving.
What do you mean
@@crishnaholmes7730Jada's mom was a heroin addict for 20 yrs which obviously caused a lot of instability & grief.
@@crishnaholmes7730 I want to know too.
@@crishnaholmes7730I think it's a careless comment but I guess she's talking about Gammi's drugaddiction
@@itzelmayoral729 ok
I love them all!! Debbie's heart is so pure!
Cree has the cutest voice!
Debbie Allen ….there are no other words for perfection. ❤
I love me some Debbie Allen she beautiful and sweet she took the time for her cast I love that, I love all the cast on different world.
Smiled through this whole video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I literally did not want this Red Table Talk episode to end. Touched my heart in such a great way. I started watching Season 1 like so many other, so to see Marisa Tomei show up with the rest of the cast was almost like having an unexpected childhood reunion take place. Thank you Jada and thank you Debbie Allen I still hope that God allows me to meet both of you queens that have been apart of my life for so long.

Love the show A Different World. HBCUs Matter.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I don't normally look at "Red Table Talk", but I had to watch this one. I'm so happy that I did... what a great reunion and legacy! I love this cast! ❤💜
Loved this episode. Ms. Allen brings it wherever she shows up! A talented cast and a memorable show that positively impacted so many lives. 37 years 💪🏽 and counting!
This show impacted so many of us in an epic way! So many us have joined sororities and fraternities and attended HBCUs as a result of being seen by these wonderful people! ❤thank alll of yall for taking on the challenge to uplift us!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. Like many, I too grew up with A Different World and still watch the show to this very day. The level of black excellence and topics covered, haven’t been matched with other shows. I love this group of people.
Bless you Jada - I cannot stop smiling after watching this important episode!
It's nice to see that everyone is looking good and doing well. There were so many great episodes on this show. My favorite is Whitley and Dewayne's wedding which they said was improvised. They had such a great love story.
This show is why I went to an HBCU. KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY KSU made me who i am. Thorough bred through and through
A Different World moved me to go to Hampton U, the real Hillman! I just needed to be there and my life is ao much better for it! I loved this show so much! I even wore rhe Whitley hair bow!
When did you graduate?!?!? I finished in '92. 😊
I LOVE how all of them are giving Debbie her flowers!!!
Sending love out to Sinbad and is family....miss you much man you belong at tis table!💯❤❤
I can't get enough of these reunions. Such beautiful, powerful, and connected circle of Beings. Thank you all for the spirit you still bring to infinite experience. This episode was short, sweet, whole, and complete. Yet I still vanity get enough. Well done , Jada!
Loved ADW then; love it now! Loved this episode of Table Talk. I’m so happy that the cast is on a reunion tour right now.
That ended way too quickly.
How Great is this Red Table Talk!
Thank you all. You are all such amazing people. I’ve gotten to meet you all at some point in my life. Yall came to a cast and crew screening of the 5 Heartbeats and it meant so much to me. I love you all.
Unify us, don't divide us...POWERFUL!!! I feel so much a part of that show. I miss it dearly and I'm still working my way to my better day. I refuse to quit. Thank you for sharing this AWESOME event Red Table Talk. It has help to further infuse my determination to achieve that special goal of mine. Peace and blessings to Debbie Allen and the entire cast of "A Different World". The legacy lives on.
Let us not forget the other part of Debbie Allen's prayer: " ...and we are challenged for the work we must continue to do." We as a people are still asleep and allowing ourselves to be distracted and misdirected by nonsensical "current issues" created by the Europeans to cause further distention among our MOORISH brothers and sisters! Singing about it doesn't make it so. WAKE UP MOORS!!! Learn the truth about your Nationality and Birthrights before its too late!
Loooove this❤ It is soooo great to hear the behind the scenes and stories they have. Debbie the true G.O.A.T❤ Love every single one of you and those who were not at the table too! You all made your mark and it will forever be remembered❤️❤️❤️
The show was an inspiration on so many levels.
She got TUPAC in there
SHE HAD TO GET HIM IN RIGHT 🤗😂🤣
Yes.
But of course
Damn right!❤
He was a pivotal member, why not?!🤷🏾♀️
I went to an HBCU because of a Different World. First person in my family to earn a degree, my career allowed me to 100% fund the education of 2 of my nieces. My nephew graduates from high school next year and has his sites set on Morehouse. 👏🏾
Really enjoyed this walk down memory lane.
This show has so many perceptions of who you can evolve to become ❤
This show was it for my teen/college years! I was not going to go to college, but this show encouraged me! I myself went to a Black college for this reason. Our colleges are the best learning experiences ever!
Glenn Thurman actually did a movie in my hometown of Galveston Texas, the movie was called Together Brothers and it's on RUclips, Barry White did the soundtrack, he is also from Galveston. Anyway, I love that show, all those beautiful Black Ladies were so amazing!
This was a life changing show loved everyone and every show. Debbie Allen is one of a kind and a shining beacon of wisdom and strength. Thanks for sharing🙏🏻❤️
This was a great show..thank you.. my favorite was the Wedding day
Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing. I never saw this episode 📺 of RTT
What was your favorite episode Jada?
“I would have to say the one with Pac” 😂 no surprise there!!
New era ADW is needed on TV because the show was positive. ADW is known for awesome stage performance. ADW will always be my ❤ show, I have repeatedly watched each episode and will continue to watch. ADW inspired me for higher education. A HBCU graduated and developed a successful career. Thank you, A Different World ❤
Luv U All. Period!! 😘🦋👌🏾❤💕👍🏾🥂🫶
Gina 🤩 is gorgeous looks even better as she’s gotten older
Yes. Her eyes are sad, though.
This was a beautiful episode! OMG, such wonderful memories!
Thank you for doing this. A Different World is my favorite show hands down!!!
I LOVE JENIFER LEWIS!
I FORGOT ABOUT GLYNN TURMAN! THE WHOLE CAST WAS GREAT.
Yesssssss 💯💯💯
what a beautiful talented group of people i so enjoyed this and thank you for such a positive show your all amazing and can we get a reboot of a different world. GOD BLESS.
I absolutely LOVE a Different World, the entire cast, special guests and the creator(s),etc. Different World inspired me to go to college besides my father instilling the importance of a good education and wanting to honor my ancestors for the sacrifices they made for me and all my melanated Brothas and Sistas. Different World and Soul Food are my favorite sitcoms/shows Thank you! Thank you! Thanks you! PLEASE BRING DIFFERENT WORLD BACK!!!!! Our youth need it.
This brings tears to my eyes, because many of us lived through these situations, in real life.
Many of us matriculation at HBCU.
Jada's skin is beautiful.
Her mother's skin is beautiful too.
I remember coming home from school and watching this show while doing my homework. The best tv times, now it's pure garbage on. Debbie #Legend! Classic!
Unify us don’t divide us ❤
Wow lets have a moment, made me start crying. I am great full to have walked down memory lane with you guys tonight.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best Show Ever!!!
I want to say this table talk took me back. Different World was a show I made time to always watch. I came up in that time when going to an HBCU was a goal we all wanted to accomplish. I must say I choose the road of being a mother early in life but my son's have picked up the torch and are currently attending HBCU's. Dance was also a part of my childhood. Being able to watch these ground breaking shows with my children is priceless. Thank you cast, writers and directors for showing Our Race in a positive light. Changing the narrative is always important. Thank you All. Too meet you would be a dream come true but this table talk makes me feel so connected cause I watched the journey as you all created it. Stay Positive and Productivity Blessed. Education is the way to go.
❤ this show and living single
Ooh, I loved this talk today. It took me down memory lane. I visited my childhood and I remember loving this show and all of the actors/actresses. ❤❤ Jada, I can't express the love I have for you, it's protective; like a baby sister. My hat is off to Debbie Allen, The Goat. ❤❤❤
Excellent! Thanks for posting ❤❤❤
My favorite show to watch and learn still to this day! The show that made me want to go to college! The show that really contributed to the culture!!!
The wedding scene was Epic!!
Thank you 🙏 red table for the memories of it’s a different world 🌎 and the cast. ❤
I remember when A Different World changed. It became my favorite show. 🎉
Debbie!!! That blessing 🖤🙌🏽
Oh my goodness! I can watch this over and over! This was a beautiful episode! WOW!
This episode blessed me to my core!! Just as everyone has stated, "A Different World" made a significant impact on my educational journey. I looked forward to watching every Thursday night at 8:00 p.m.(est) on NBC! My absolute favorite episode was the wedding of Dewayne and Whitley. I also enjoyed the final episode again centered around everyone's successes, and again, Dewayne and Whitley leaving the hallowed grounds of Hillman College to embark upon a new life and family in Japan.
There has to be a way that some kind of 4-part series can be done about "Where Are They Now -- Different World" mini series, something along those lines!! I know the world would be glued to the tube to watch 🙂
About Simbad . Great show . Was outstanding. Glad you all doing great .
I love all of them!!! But I LOVE LOVE ME SOME KADEEM!!!! He aged beautifully!! His energy is amazing and that smile!! Team Kadeem!
That was my favorite show!
One of the best shows ever!!! It was GREAT for the culture!!! They all did an AMAZING JOB!!! kUDDOS AND MUCH LOVE TO DEBBIE ALLEN AND THE ENTIRE CAST!!! I sure wish Sinbad was healthy!! Sending healing prayers to him!!!
