This was a representation of black HBCU shows which was rare in its time. That’s all that was said. But i do agree that with race aside the show was loved by many.

    I liked watching this show when it was on NBC in the 80s after "The Cosby Show." The acting and the scripts were fantastic and funny. I cannot believe it's been over thirty years since the show ended. I am glad the cast are still friends, and they have inspired so many generations of young kids to go to a college of their choice to be like them. There are so many iconic TV shows that have entertained millions, and they give so much in return to let anyone know you can achieve anything if you do the work and never give up on your dream. Let no one tell you cannot do something because they do not know you as a person. It's their insecurities they place on others since they never tried hard enough to get ahead. Work hard for something that gives so much pleasure and passion about it. Make some goals on a piece of paper to make sure you are on target for what you want to pursue. Reinforce those goals every day by reading them, and crossing out the ones you have completed. You can do it.

    Oh my goodness, I am just grinning hard watching this. I had to replay the first part several times, just to sing along. That version of the song was the JAM!!! That was such a great time in life and that show was definitely an inspiration to me attending college and DID!!. I was in junior high and high school during its run.

    When the audience started singing, the yt ppl didn't know "what in the Hilman-homecoming" was going on! 😂
    Seriously, I owe my degree to these precious actors and creators. ❤🎉 BTW, Ms. Allen continues to be a force!
