A Different World (1987)
Enlightening and on point for today's culture
I absolutely adore this show!
I first watched it when I was younger, just before heading off to college.
Watching it again as an adult brings a whole new perspective.
The storylines are incredibly relevant to the issues we face today. I really hope that others, especially younger generations, will watch it and realize just how timeless this show truly is.
It's the kind of show we need now: deep, humorous, educational, and filled with factual references. For me, this show represents my childhood, my adolescence, and my journey as a Black woman in America. It reflects how I was raised, the challenges I faced, and the inspiration I found along the way. It's definitely worth watching again!
That's Cat (1976)
Whitman Mayo!!! That's Cat!!
I grew up in Inglewood, CA... and there was a travel agency on Manchester that Whitman Mayo owned.. aptly named Mayo Travel Agency... and I went in with my mother...I had to have been 4 or 5... he came out of his office to sit with me while my mother make travel plans...I was grinning from ear to ear because I totally knew who he was from that's cat... my mom of course knew him from Sanford and Son!!! Talk about meeting your hero!! He was super nice and funny!!! I wish they had shows like this again for kids... romper room, the great space coaster, the original electric company, shows that taught you things, morals, manners, social skills!!
