Living Single could have ended way better. Once Kyle left, the show lost it's aura.
Wayans Bros. should have been planning for a series finale. I'm still mad about that one.
Family Matters relied too much on Steve and the science. Them shits got goofy as fuck. It's unbearable to watch the later seasons now.
The shows I picked have memories attached to them. I grew up on The Jeffersons. When I was young I could wake up from a dead sleep if the theme song came on. Lol.
The Cosby Show and A Different World is the reason I went to a HBCU for college.
Bernie Mac and My Wife & Kids are goated mainly because I see and get all the jokes now since I'm older.
 
Different World
Living Single
Cosby Show
Family Matters
Everybody Hates Chris
 
Cosby Show - Gold Standard. The show all Black sitcoms aspired to be. Ran the ratings game in the 80s, too. #1 for 5 out of 8 seasons.

Different World - The offspring of Cos. Inspired a whole generation of black kids to go to HBCUs.

Family Matters - The Chicago Equivalent of the Cosby Show…..until it went full Urkel. Zaniness and all, still a top tier quality show.

The Jeffersons - Legendary Show. First show to see black folk in a prosperous light, and not fighting to maintain in the ghetto.

Living Single - The perfected architect of the female sitcom. (I know Golden Girls did it first, but this turned that up) Still need them royalties from Friends for biting they whole style….hell, Girlfriends, too.


We missing some shows tho:

Martin
Fresh Prince
Good Times
In the House
The Parent Hood

I guess these might be featured for a Part 2….
