      You are sooo correct. And as a black man who was single when the show debutted in the early nineties( I been married ever since '93) it played a role in shaping how blacks vibed with each other back in the day. And yes, it was "a thousand times better than friends" and it HAD TO BE. Blacks in general, no matter what field of endeaver they were pursuing had to be better then the caucasian when competting for the same position. Nothings changed even in 2024. Now we creating our own "hollywood" with RUclips and even in Atlanta.

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!

    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.
