So many Generation X and Gen Y enrolled at HBCU's because of the profound impact of this most iconic series. "A Different World" was truly in a league of it's own. 20 million views weekly was unprecedented and forever cemented Debbie Allen as an iconic producer. Thanks to the entire cast for having an impact on my life and the lives of multiple generations 🙌🏽 🤎👍🏼🙏🏻😊.

This was an AMAZING interview. I love A Different World!!!! Black Culture is a vibe!!!!❤

My all time favorite show...if you're a true fan you know everyline from that iconic scene!!! They've all aged so gracefully and I love that they're still so close❤❤❤🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤

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.

The wedding was so unbelievable.

Iconic spinoff show created by Bill Cosby! Thank you, inspired this lil gurl from the hood to go to college! I didn't even cosider anything else... My grandmother born in 1934 and raised near B'Ham,Al. Im apart of her legacy!!! She always promoted me to get my education! Now, I couldn't afford to go to an HSBC, but the idea of college and seeing people that looked like me definitely helped! Much appreciation to these actors! I got my degree in 2009👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Loved this show so so much!! ❤

This right here! This is one of the MANY reasons for loving being black! How we just jumped into that thence song like an episode was about to start! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
