A Different World (1987–1993)
7/10
Fantabulous
19 March 2024
"A Different World" started with, and kept a solid cast throughout its run. The show took place at an HBCU campus and had a wide range of predominantly Black students to best represent what life on an HBCU campus would be like. I seriously doubt any campus was as fun as the one in ADW.

My favorite character had to be Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison). Because of him I went out and bought a pair of flip up circle glasses, and I didn't even wear glasses!

Besides Dwayne Wayne, ADW gave us Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) for a spell, the extremely funny southern belle, Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell), Kim (Charnele Brown), Freddie (Cree Summer), Col. Brad Taylor (Glynn Turman), Jaleesa (Dawnn Lewis), Vernon Gaines (Lou Myers), Coach Walter (Sinbad), and a young, fresh Lena (Jada Pinkett). There were so many others as well. The cast was fantabulous.
