I LOVED the episode where Whitley was the Dean of Pledges for her sorority and Kim was one of her pledges... when Kim had enough of Whitley's power trip and Whitley DEMANDED Kim to recook her breakfast in the pit and Kim added SUPER amounts of pepper to Whitley's eggs I ALMOST DIES....

Kim and the pledges left Whitley to her own and ignored Whitley's demands to return, Whitley kept screeching:

"I am Big Sister Gorgeous One..... I AM Big Sister Gorgeous One... I AM BIG...

I loved Jasmine Guy on Dead Like Me.

Different World was one of my favorite shows. I liked it even the last season with all the new kids. I hated Lisa Bonet though, like everyone else. I've watched many re-runs of DW and The Cosby Show and she started out as a fairly good actor. She got worse and worse as she got older. She was awkward and unbelievable as the step-mom to Olivia. Some of the episodes of Cosby where she is featured with Olivia are just painful to watch, she's so...

Loved Jasmine guy on DW, she was blah on the first season, well everyone was, but she became front and center after lisa bonet left

And check out Dead Like Me, didn't last long, but a really great show

I heard she has some health problems, don't know if its true

I LOVED Whitley!

When I get some extra cash, I should start buying this show.

I'll just get the first season. Denise is/was hot, but she was so zzzzzzzzzzzz.

This show also tackled some issues that were quite "heavy" for NBC's MUST SEE TV (media censorship, HIV etc).

Actually during the first season, Hillman was not touted as an HBCU (Historically Black College/University). It wasn't until Cosby cleaned house with the writers and producers the second year that Hillman became a fictional HBCU modeled after Morehouse and Spelman. There were a few documentaries that described this transition. When Cosby brought in Debbie Allen, he let her do whatever she wanted to get the show back on track. Luckily she did because we would have NEVER experienced the joy of...

charca a lot of historically black colleges have 10-20 percent white students so her presence didn't seem out of place although in general the presence of lisa bonet make this the worst season.

Dwayne Cleophus Wayne - from imdb.com

And of course who could forget Shazza Zulu? 13 episodes 1991-1992 - CSI's own Gary Dourdan.

oh I agree. This show got a lot better after LB left. Funny when you think about it.

Whitley is one of the bst TV characters from the 80s. Freddie = awesome especially when she got into pre-Law.

Also liked it when that other CS minor character joined as one of the new kids in the last season. The fast talker. She was a ood addition. Better than Jada.

I'll never forget Whitley's wedding which Dwayne crashed and professed his love.... fighting with the ushers to get down the aisle to her calling out, "Baby, please!"

Can anyone tell my Dwayne's middle name?? ;)

First season was really bad. Lisa Bonet looked and acted like she didn't want to be there. Marisa Tomei was good, but how come the writers never dealt with the subject of a white girl attending a historically black college? That could have been interesting, but she was just there and it made the Maggie character nothing more than a patronizing contrivance to make white viewers feel comfortable. The best seasons were 2-4, then it went downhill when Whitley and Kim became dorm counselors...

First season SUCKED!!! When Miss Allen took over, it took off.

I think this show didn't take off until after Lisa Bonet left (and Debbie Allen took over the writing). When LB was there, it looked and felt like a spinoff for the sake of having a spinoff.

Yeah, I think the first two seasons are on DVD.

It's a decent show, but it's no Cosby Show.

I remember this show. Whitley is one of my favorite TV characters ever. I never got a chance to see the first season. Is this show coming on DVD?

Anyone else watch the reruns on Nick at Nite? And was anyone else tricked by the false advertising about a Hillman Reunion? Well i still like the show, i think it got much better when Denise left though.
