Just say it, she had the WIGS to match. :lol: Joanie and Kimmie had that in common. And a big +1 to whoever had the idea to have her do the air trumpet!

There was an ep where one of the guys brought a date over for dinner and she says that she went to a boarding school called Eastland and Regine says, "Never heard of it" and looks into the camera and winks. ^_^

It was smurfs. When they had that episode where Khadijah was accepting an award for journalist of the year and they had a "flashback" to when Synclaire first moved in, I think she brought some huge life-sized smurf doll. :lol:

+1. :lol:

This show had one of the best ensembles of any sitcom ever. I think everyone worked well together. Kim Coles was a good balance to the other three women, and the men were great too, they were never too weak or too strong.

There were a lot of episodes I liked but the one I remember most is the Mother's Day episode, where Chip Fields and Rita Owens played mother to Regine and Kadijah. Their real mothers playing their reel mothers.

It's a shame that FOX never had that much faith in the show. It always kind of disgusted me how FOX giddily dumped any black-related programming when they thought they had finally become a "real" network. That's one of the reasons, aside from Idol, I haven't watched a lot of their network in more recent years.

We were totally a FOX family back then. Living Single, Martin, The Simpsons, Married with Children...I even have vague memories of Roc, which was THE most intimidating show I've ever seen. Charles S. Dutton had moodswings all throughout each episode.

ETA: OH and New York Undercover. With that fine, fine, fine Latino dude.

I used to watch a lot of that too, and In Living Color. Tracey Ullmann Show.

Roc was a tough show. I can't remember most of the show now, but he was intimidating. I remember that at the time my favorite character was the one Rocky Carroll played, the brother.

Ahhh yes, Roc, that was a Sunday night favorite. Remember when they went live? En Vogue did an awesome theme song for that show too.

Martin was a HUGE hit in my family, the "my mummma bird" episode, I can remember us all sitting around the TV crying laughing.

Debbi Morgan and Jamie Foxx had great cameo roles on Roc. Of course Debbi was married to CSD.

I LOVED Roc's first two seasons. The third....not so much.

I was addicted to FOX during the mid-90's, Martin, Living Single, etc. were so good.

I also loved the WB sitcoms as well, too bad they dumped them for Dawson's Creek, Buffy, etc. :rolleyes:

I also remember reading that Tom Joyner had organized a petition to get Living Single a 5th season is that true? Can't believe FOX cancelled them in the middle of the 5th season without any warning, that's why the finale felt so rushed. At least IMO. :(

Love it.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
