As everybody to mention they favorite Living Single Episode then do that with Martin, Cosby’s or Fresh Prince and you’ll see the difference.
I’m not hating because it’s certified next tier, but godly? When the last time you watched a rerun?
Living single gets God tier for me simply for the fact you had crackas biting it and created Friends because living single was killing the time slot on the night it was on
Have you ever watched Friends?
I know the concept was stolen but until it came out that it was based of Living Single you can’t name one person who thought they were the same.
You don’t make it to God Tier because you inspired white people to squeeze more characters into their show.
Like I said ask niggas to name their favorite episodes, youll see the difference if you ask niggas to name their favorite Martin or Fresh Prince episodes.

"lemme break it down for you one time.."
Family matters would've been god tier but they jumped the shark with all that Stephan urkelle ,3J bullcrap
i didnt say it was a carbon copy...but NBC turned down Living Single b/c they were just so sure there was no market for it
they went to FOX, blew up and NBC was like, we gotta get our version of this
period
Yea I get that, but pretending Living Single got that catalogue like Martin or Prince has means it’s time to get ya TVs out and go episode for episode.
i think they all have their lane...none of those shows were alike which is the epitome of being black to me
we arent all the same. We have various tastes and interests. There was a reason why ALL these shows did well when they were on. They all spoke to the various degrees of black folks
I was in that age demographic when it was airing and thought it was corny

If u Google who gives a fuck. My name ain't there!
This is easy.
1. Look at the longevity of it's success not only as a black sitcom but a sitcom in general
2. It was the main catapult to its "TGIF" comedy line up on ABC
3. The character "Urkel" was widely recognized no matter how you felt about the character.
4. It touched on a wide range of topics
And 5....most important...it showed a chill, successful black family on tv and it never used any over the top black family stereotypes to depict their family...
