Man, do y'all remember this scene?
00:00:01.639 --> 00:01:13.358
Man, will you have me Duane as your lawfully wedded husband from this day forth to having a whole and richer papara? Baby, please! Please! I do! A different world, 1987. When that show hit, it wasn't just a spin-off to The Cosby Show, it was its own universe. Hillman College, Wayne Wayne, Whitley Gilbert, that whole crew felt like somebody reached into our lives and put it on television. Low-key, it made me want to go to college, dawg. Look here, the show ran six seasons. Lisa Bonet started it, Jasmine Guy and Khadim Hardison carried it, and by season two, when Debbie Allen took over as director, this joint locked in and never let go. Real talk, Debbie Allen is the reason that show became what it became. They were talking about real things, HBCUs, relationships growing up, finding yourself all rockin' that late 80s, early 90s energy that nobody can replicate. The reboot is out there on Netflix, so go check it out. But the original? That's a different conversation entirely. One of the illest ensemble cast television ever put together. That's crazy work. And look, if you love old school like this, go play the TV category in the new Urban Rewind Trivia app. It's free, link in the comment section. Word on it.
