Me too I still watching the reruns and I laugh like I'm seeing the show for the first time.:-)

The main reason I loved Living Single, is because like Kim said they were black, relatable, and positive. They all had careers, friendships, and healthy relationships. And it was ok to be what they were and be black.

And they had a lot of White guests stars unlike that other show that had very few, if any, bros and sisters.

Living single was an amazing show and it needs to be on Netflix. Living single is way better than friends

Living Single was a fantastic show with a great cast. It sickens me that still today Black actors get paid so much less than their white counterparts. Regardless of how exemplary their work is.

For me they could try but even if they do a good job nothing will ever touch Living Single because that show was lightening in a bottle with a chemistry you can't even pray for, the same with Martin. The 90s was a special time which is why those shows are better than anything now.

With all of them. If not a reboot, an hour or two special.

TC "aka" Kyle Barker was a BIG part of this show!!! He sang like no body's business. FUNNY VALENTINE was written for him!!! I really miss this show!!!!!

Living Single is THAT show! I still watch it! I have the DVD's (seasons 1 & 4). My favorite character is Khadijah. I always felt like Kyle's character will STILL put you in your place dah-lin'!!! When he checks you, you feel it!!!🍿🍿🍿🍿📺📺📺📺

I watch these reruns everyday on TVOne. I subconsciously moved to Brooklyn because that’s where they lived, and I wanted to be a fabulous young black professional in NYC like them. They should reboot this with Kyle and Max’s child. That baby would be mid-20s now, the same as they were in the show.

Living Single represents every so called Black man and woman in America who aspires to have healthy relationships with friends, family, significant others and their careers as well. And let's not forget the style. Max wore the baddest coats. Khadijah natural hair and Howard U sweatshirts. Overton was sexy period. Kyle could go from Moshood to Armani like no one else. Regine possessed a wig for every occasion. Sinclair was the sweet friend in a long flowy dress that every woman needs. Four powerful, beautiful women and two strong but chivalrous manly men in brown skin will never be seen on television this way again. I appreciate Tyler Perry but let's be real with ourselves about his shows.....

I agree but the cast of Friends was only making $1 million for their final two seasons. Everyone is acting like these white actors came in from the jump making millions while the cast of Living Single was starving. Having said that, if while on at the same time as Living Single the cast of Friends was making more money, than that’s not right at all.

Man this comment is killer! I agree with everything you said. Such a wonderfully funny and inspiring show that never preached anything but the message of positivity, love, friendship and black excellence was just in the way the characters carried themselves. Friends is overrated to me. I much prefer Living Single, Frasier, Martin, Married with Children etc.

It is a whole damn shame this show has not done a reboot. It is so needed.

Can we please get a Living Single reunion while the entire cast is still alive today ?

Classic TV right there!!!!!!! Love. Love. Love the entire cast and concept.

Claudia is such a great interviewer... we loved living single and all the actors.... ❤

T.C. Carson and Kim Coles were straight up teaching during that segment. I loved it!!! ❤

I am rewatching the entire series right now and still one of my top 5 shows. Everyone on the show was just pure gold and amazing. Thank you guys for showing black excellence and I'm sorry I will take Living single over friends any day.

Let's not forget to give Regine her credit for setting off these unapologetically wigged out women walking round HA! Don't act like black women were freely and proudly wearing wigs in the 90s. Regine was the queen of it's mine cause I bought it!

Rewatching the show for the millionth time. The writing was fresh & amazing. I don’t understand the appeal of friends & the reality wasn’t there. Living Single had realism to it where they worked to afford where they lived. Living Single just had heart & it truly was lightening in a bottle because they nailed it on all levels. Season 5 didn’t work without Kyle. It felt like a season grasping at straws & trying to get back some of the heart they lost & they couldn’t. So shame on them for firing T.C. It’s karma & therefore they killed their own show. T.C. more music 😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻. I’ve heard so many versions of Honeysuckle Rose but none as good as his version.

Still watch the reruns today! I love and still laugh when I watch Living Single like it's the first time I've ever watched the episodes.

Living single was a great show and i loved TC Carson's character

Claudia looks amazing lately and her hair looks great. In all fairness, 1M an episode hadn't been done before the cast of Friends got (together) and negotiated it. No one had it before they did that. I'm sure that's what changed the appeal of TV for movie Movie actors. Before then, Movie actors consider TV a step down and you were one or the other.

Despite his age, TC Carson is still fine and Kim is beautiful

This was such a great show!!!

This was soooooooo good for my soul. Such a mature conversation. Everyone looked so good but T.C. looked scrumptious and sexy!!!

I loved Living Single! Still do. I introduced my children to it as well. That show to me transcended the typical stereotypes that were shown on television. All of the characters / actors were amazing. So good to see you both doing so well!

Kyle is a work of art!

T.C. gave me utter CHILLS starting at 9:56 what he's saying we already know...but nobody IMPLEMENTS that knowledge. Preach King!

They don't make TV shows like they use to. Living Single is one of the best TV shows in the 90's.. Kim & TC looks great 👍...

The reason why they did not want this show, it showed our people in a positive manner. They (?) do not want this. I am glad to see them all doing well . Boston

I loved Living Single as a kid and to this day watch the replays anytime I have a need for positive role models. I could relate to the female characters on Living Single and felt empowered by them with every episode. TC is absolutely right about the impact this show has had for generations. Living Single has been our roadmap and I am forever grateful to you all for that.

I went into my bunker and started binge watching old 90's black TV shows and movies and Living Single was one of them. It made me realize that things are going backwards when it comes to inclusivity and representation. Damn I long for a rebirth because the younger generation needs the kinds of influences and imagery I had when I was their age.

Thank you! And folks are naive enough to believe we're doing better now and this is the "golden era" of black television and film HA! The 90's and early 2000's were the true golden eras with far more content and more diverse ranges of the type of black entertainment we lack now.

Living single one of my favs 90s shows👏🏾👏🏾

Great interview.

I think the financial stagnation for black actors is the reason why “Cosby” set the cast up to get residuals forever.... I’ve been in television with HBO and the wages are very low....

This was thee best show!! The “original” friends!!!!! Everything we have, create, Succeed in they try to copy what we do.

This was an amazing conversation. Claudia Winfrey I see you girl

I am rewatching it on Hulu as we speak. I love this show.

I loved this show and still watch it. I think they rushed the last show for some closure but it felt rushed to me and would love to see just one more show. Maybe the original writer and cast can just get together on your own and do something with the writer. There are not any shows on TV for Black folks that have the same feel that this on had. You were a great ensemble that could not be denied.

When Living Single came out in the 90s I was in college and a single mother of my son at the time, I loved it because they were college educated black people with professional careers, they had their ups and downs but they made it, they handled business and kept it moving. It was very inspirational to me that I had in my life!

This is a wonderful conversation. I just love it ❤️❤️❤️

I think no actor should get paid $1Million per episode for a sitcom. A 22 minute episode to get paid that much is ridiculous

Come through with that word, T.C.! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Loved the show. I usually binge watch.

So happy claudia did this having kim coles terrence tv carson on here.

We have beeeen saying this and wondering why actors having come together to do it. Well said TC! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤ Living Single was such a great show!

I agree it's not fair but it's not our platform we are still begging them to let us in their house then get mad when they treat their own better. Until we build our own stage it's never going to change.

Black&Sexy tv is a great platform that has excellent content! Hopefully BET+ will get more content, create new content and find a way to get our beloved content from the past on their network.

Does anyone have the full, unedited interview? There were many deep issues discussed. But I'm particularly intrigued with TC's views on the injustices that are happening today, and how the justice system wasn't built with us in mind, it wasn't created for the black people. I'm just paraphrasing, but that's the gist of what was said. The truth of his comment struck a chord with me. The truth of those words was especially revealed in the final ruling of Breonna Taylor's murder trial.
