You are sooo correct.

And yes, it was "a thousand times better than friends" and it HAD TO BE.

Living Single was as important as the Cosby Show and Different World. It gave a positive image and perspective of young African Americans at a critical time for black youth. Looking back, those shows really helped to mold self image and worth.
TC is the OLDEST out of the group! He’s now on his 60s! The executives knew this & listen to him until it backfired. He was a leader & big brother to his cast mates! I was 19 when the show aired! What a time to be alive! I wanted to live in NY in THAT brownstone ! Love them ALL!!! ❤❤❤
Not according to the ratings and to be honest some black ppl complained about Living single when it was out and it became more popular after it was over
T.C. Carson said it best, "Black People was supposed to keep there mouth shut and do there job." I love the show. "Girl friends " was another show I loved and also given the boot because the actors were asking for more money 💰. 10/20/24
💯 We are supposed to only be Claudine with seven children and six baby daddies or start the show out the gate as a single parent . And when we refuse, it becomes an issue .It's time for you to go .
The 90’ was the best and the greatest of times entertainment,sports , music and clothing our culture the culture the experience everything was so fresh and new it was a movement. Not every black family was broken up there was a structure and code in the house hold and raw and grittiness on the streets it was a beautiful thing was so fortunate and blessed to share that experience with my family and my brothers( can’t call them friends because our bond is deeper than that) in NYC!!
You said, "'T C ' Carson & John Henton Reveals The BIGGEST SNAKES On Living Single!" Who were they? You all need to write better headlines. This click bait nonsense is annoying.
I was in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Living in 👉🏾Loiza 👈🏾 and I didn't miss a show of Living Single 🔥🔥🔥 man those days ❤. My mother in law knew that l love to seat down and LOL watching this show and she had food and TV 📺 ready for me . Respect to all of you giving life to every character in that show.
Say it again! I do not know what he pays them but he has a sleazy vide that always hints at exploiting rather than honoring the interviewee. I would not share anything on his channel. He’s found a niche for humiliating black legends.
I was just about to post the same thing. I watched Friends once or twice but it never appealed to me I can still watch Living Single today and still laugh sometimes holler😂. It was a wonderful show.
Living Single is the Best show of its type! Beautiful young black men and women! Great situations! Brilliant acting! Living Single! Make it live long, continue to be strong and prosper!
Thanks for the tip and not making me watch this video to the end to find out this is click bait. 😂. I immediately went to the comments for someone to confirm that because I'm a media junking. I'm pretty sure I've never seen any interview or statement with him talking about such things.
And I find it odd that they pushed Friends to 10 seasons straight but made Living Single to barely 5 seasons! And the fact that Friends was way over marketed and advertised and they started sabotaging Living Single on purpose to push the audience to view Friends smdh! This is why we need to understand for them race is first, money is second!
Just like Saturday night live still on the air after all these years of corny. Richard Pryor show, in living color (with the Wayans), etc. were actually funny variety shows
I am proud to say I’ve never watched an episode of Friends. I saw it for what it was and what they were doing. I still watch reruns of Living Single almost every night.
Friends was a rip off knock off copycat in the literal sense. They were the complexion for the protection, so them having better accommodations kraft services etc.should come as no surprise.Warner Bros was on that bulljive sabotage burial of Living Single.
I had NO INTEREST in watching Friends, ever. I could never relate to the show. T.C. Carson is a brilliant actor. He is a cut above the rest. They started cutting corners with Living Single towards the end with the stereotypical storylines. They did the actors a complete disservice with how the show was handled. Just like Girlfriends, the Warner Bros. suits making the decisions about how Black lives should be portrayed did us a disservice. They completely screwed Living Single and their audience. It's a😊 terrible shame.
And friends never did in my household. I didn't know about this at the time but Friends just wasn't it. How it made it to a 2024 movie "Leave the World Behind" is beyond me 🤷🏾♀️
I was a child when this was on, I grew up thinking I can have my own company. Being a self made woman was something I saw not only because of this show but in my mother, my aunt and grandmother who were single women with corporate jobs that enabled them to go places not where a lot of black people especially women were in. This was the foundation I grew up in and now I’m the fulfillment of it.
We only got friends in the U.K. during the 90s, but I wish they aired living single too. I first accessed it online about 12 years ago & found it more enjoyable and relatable. Friends is dead-out!
Making friends seems to be why they screwed up the Living Single series. They are known for making money off black shows to make movies etc… for white shows, especially Fox
I periodically watched Friends until I realized it came on the same time as Living Single. Then I learned that Friends characters were paid more than Living single. Same ole issues bc of skin color. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LIVING SINGLE. Heck I still watch it.
Yes, it was a positive Black people image show. Nobody was on drugs. Nobody was a teenage mother. Nobody was backstabbing and two-faced like we see in shows today. Drama is what rules today. Drama and disrespect. It is a shame.
That’s what the network wanted because they wrote the script. Because they broke up the group when they took Kyle and Regin off the show. And changed their time slot.
Living Single was and is still a VIBE! One of my favorite showed I have been watching them since the show first aired! I watch all these episodes like I’ve never seen them before. I have never been a fan of Friends!
Another basketball player?? The dude y’all showed was definitely a teacher not a ball player. So that bit on dating “another ball player” is completely inaccurate.
But there was definitely a 2nd basketball player… someone from phoenix suns in season 5 and she was so nervous and took regine’s tranquilizers and was basically ‘drunk’ in the date. It was completely off character
I didn't get into Friends until its very last season. I watch Living Single EVERY MORNING on TVOne!! I really hope they do a reboot or at least a reunion two-part episode! Just like A Different World needs to do a "Homecoming" episode! Great story Retro Reels TV!!
The black actor Carson who said it is shut your mouth and do the job at 12:47 in this clip is so right about that what employers expect us Black people to do. I know this fact because that with my job did a more than a couple of times to me. One instance, my job had us Black workers working in a dangerous situation where it effected our physical health. I called OSHA and all the supervisors in the higher level got angry. That was one of the times that I didn't care and left early from my job.
I don’t believe you, how would you know about the mishandling back then? I would believe that friends wasn’t your cup of tea but not that you knew the mishandling.
Living Single is a perfect snapshot of what we were like as a people before the commercialization, perversion and bastardization of Hip Hop destroyed our self image as a people.
The repeats come on every Saturday and every Saturday I watch it. I'm going to watch them always and give them their props because they all deserve it. I'm a loyal fan for life. ❤
Living Single was wayyyyyy funnier than Friends. Everybody knows. 😁 I love the cast of Living Single Kim Coles / Synclaire James Queen Latifah / Khadijah James T.C. Carson / Kyle Barker Kim Fields / Regine Hunter Erika Alexander / Maxine Shaw John Henton / Overton Wakefield Jones BEST CAST EVER!!!!! 😁
That was clip from the movie "The Best Man', with Harold Perrineau....both actors appeared as guests on 'Living Single': Terrence Howard as a younger love interest for Maxine Harold Perrineau as 'The son Of God' being represented by Max
Yup! Maxine Shaw wss dating Terrance Howard on one of those episodes. He was a fond young man. I'm 62 and I still watch the reruns! Best show ever and all is. Max, Kyle and Ragine stole my Hurt! Overton & Sinclair did to with there goofy rules. Cole & his gurlfriend, the light skin sister on Martin was my FAVORITE cast members.
Friends was a joke with talentless actors who did not represent or hint to seeking a black audience yet continually was renewed. Racism shoved upon television in full sight and had the nerve to be praised with awards. Living Single did what that show couldn’t. 5:00 Bye!
This was a beautiful piece! Living Single was hands down one of the best shows that will always be remembered. I love the storyline how it showed that we can get along, we can be successful and the characters were great people overall. I am glad that TC had the nerve to stand up to the networks and voice what was wrong. Even though they got cut it's a guarantee that when we sit down and have conversations at our Gatherings or in our communities and we talk about the great shows that we had Living Single will always be on the list
Living Single, Martin and New York Undercover was a big time Thursday night TV line-up in the 1990s while it lasted.
college days....Morgan State University.
classic line up.

The absolute best.
The fact that they have the same birthday adds an additional layer 🤗

Living single was before. Friends was a copy. This show was pitched to NBC they said no. Then Friends came out later.

You forgot. And he could sang!!!

I agree. It was original and It's timeless. Not surprised it was copied and not given credit. That's the American way
Kyle has a beautiful soulful singing voice
Fr I like that episode where he get choked up while tryna sing, but see Max in a nice dress.
Deep and *resonating!!*
A great voice in all...hes done a lot of voice over work...loved this show
Kyle was the ish!❤
That episode when he sang My Funny Valentine is when I realized how great his voice was
They did the same exact thing to John Amos on Good Times! Once you figure out what executives are up to, and voice it.... THEY GET RID OF YOU!
They sure did , they never told them , that the show was over . They read about it in the news paper.

I never watched Friends & I never will bcuz of how Living Single was mishandled & mistreated.
I don’t believe you, how would you know about the mishandling back then?
I would believe that friends wasn’t your cup of tea but not that you knew the mishandling.
You didn't miss anything but white corniness.
Same!!!
@@RTB.TheMortgageGuy It was spoken about on here. Hope you don't handle mortgages like you do RUclips?
@@RTB.TheMortgageGuyEXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!! more "selective black outrage "
Living Single is a perfect snapshot of what we were like as a people before the commercialization, perversion and bastardization of Hip Hop destroyed our self image as a people.
whomever you are, no matter what you say, 'WE LOVE LINGLE SINGLE'.
I love this show. ❤ I never knew ANY this. Good thing everyone on Living Single went off to do AMAZING groundbreaking things
The repeats come on every Saturday and every Saturday I watch it. I'm going to watch them always and give them their props because they all deserve it. I'm a loyal fan for life. ❤

BEST CAST EVER!!!!! 😁
@9:53 was that Terrance Howard? Living Single didn't get its credit.....I can't stand how our shows are treated.
Yes
That was clip from the movie "The Best Man', with Harold Perrineau....both actors appeared as guests on 'Living Single':
Terrence Howard as a younger love interest for Maxine
Harold Perrineau as 'The son Of God' being represented by Max
Yes, little Lucious Lyon was Max’s boyfriend in season 1, good times! 😊
Yup! Maxine Shaw wss dating Terrance Howard on one of those episodes. He was a fond young man. I'm 62 and I still watch the reruns! Best show ever and all is. Max, Kyle and Ragine stole my Hurt! Overton & Sinclair did to with there goofy rules. Cole & his gurlfriend, the light skin sister on Martin was my FAVORITE cast members.
@@MarkMoore-my7cpI absolutely loved that episode too!!
Friends was a joke with talentless actors who did not represent or hint to seeking a black audience yet continually was renewed. Racism shoved upon television in full sight and had the nerve to be praised with awards. Living Single did what that show couldn’t. 5:00 Bye!
This was a beautiful piece! Living Single was hands down one of the best shows that will always be remembered. I love the storyline how it showed that we can get along, we can be successful and the characters were great people overall. I am glad that TC had the nerve to stand up to the networks and voice what was wrong. Even though they got cut it's a guarantee that when we sit down and have conversations at our Gatherings or in our communities and we talk about the great shows that we had Living Single will always be on the list
YOU GO Mr.. Carson....TRUTH IS RESPECT AND POWERING...SOME PEOPLE CAN T TAKE IT....TOO BAD AND ANGRY FOR THEM....
IT'S THE BLUEPRINT!!!💯🙌🏽 LIVING SINGLE DESERVES ITS FLOWERS💐✊🏽
