In a “2020s kinda world,” I’m so glad to still have the Living Single girls! Well, via streaming old episodes, but you get the gist. Living Single is the brainchild of writer Yvette Lee Bowser. When the show debuted on Aug. 22, 1993, Yvette wrote for another classic, A Different World, before becoming the first Black woman to have a series air on primetime.

Though Living Single’s cast — Queen Latifah, Erika Alexander, Kim Fields, Kim Coles, John Henton, and T.C. Carson — as well as Yvette herself has said the sitcom didn’t receive the respect it deserved in the industry, it was far from the case in the Black community. The show’s fandom has only increased with time, and many of us are still keeping our fingers crossed for a reunion in any form!
