The real issue at hand
I mean, I think the bigger issue is the creators blatantly ripped off Living Single and made a version of NYC with almost no people of color, but go off I guess?? https://t.co/5yP7DFM0UE

We all love Max
Max is a mood. #livingsingle is on HBO and the nostalgia is strong. Chilled me out after #TLOS pic.twitter.com/h7IK29BUWh

A lot of differences
The gag is Living Single was more influential because it portrayed complex Black characters in a positive light, that didn’t make racial stereotypes the basis of their entire personalities. Young black men & women who were educated, funny and down to earth. FRIENDS could never. pic.twitter.com/3RKeTK2i8c

So many people saying this
Nobody is offended by that show. I’m only offended they stole the concept from Living Single and went on to get all this glory but it’s what they do https://t.co/YxqGtYYpDu

Seriously.
A reminder that another Warner Bros-made show, Living Single, not only predates Friends by a year but did everything Friends did first, better, and in half the time with a more realistic NYC on a much smaller network.
And it's still relevant & funny. https://t.co/8qqwA90kWg

One time for an absolute classic
The Living Single theme song occasionally pops in my head 😂 I miss these kinda songs for tv shows (that final horn goes hard) pic.twitter.com/4JtE9XivCi
