I fell in love with this show during junior high, I loved Whitney & Dwayne, and can still hear “baby please” if you need some serotonin here’s the link

Yes! They were one of my first ones too, and I just found out he ad-libbed that line which makes me love it even more

I watched the pilot ep after seeing this story yesterday. Wild knowing where the show ended up. Denise didn't want to room with Jaleesa cuz she was 26 and divorced and that was ~scandalous~.

Great show tbh. They did such a great job curating this college tv show. Best luck to the future HBCUs.

Well, there's the "Good Times" revival except they left out what was so charming about it in the first place.

I would love a Sister, Sister, Moesha, or Living Single revival. Living Single especially deserved a better send off than it got. My brother would probably also add Martin. I miss how wholesome and optimistic they felt compared to a lot of the tv today, though they never shied away from tough topics.

The X-men revival started out all sweet and nostalgic but now it's hitting too hard ;_;

I know I watched this show but I have no memory of any specific storylines (fair because apparently I was 4 years old when it came on) but I remember the Whitley and Dwayne relationship.
