AFAIC, the show was dead without him. The Max/Kyle relationship was the core of the show.

 

I don't know when this Kim Fields interview happened, but the Source has it dated in December.

Agree.  LS was so much about presenting African-Americans in a positive light.  Nowhere did that light shine brighter on the show than on Max and Kyle.  They were two college-educated, urban and urbane professionals; who were allowed to be good at their professions; and who were flawed and funny without being reduced to the usual, buffoonish stereotypes.

 

To me, it's shameful, but not at all surprising, that WBTV did a much better job marketing the vastly overrated "Friends," a painfully unfunny show with a similar concept (a half-dozen twentysomethings experience the ups and downs of life in the big city) that never had any POC in its' cast, despite being set in one of the most diverse cities on the planet.  But what REALLY smarts to this day (but, sadly, is no less surprising) is how LS' own network, FOX, appeared to be more concerned with promoting "The Simpsons" than they did with promoting LS or "Martin."
