I love how all the black studio audiences knew the theme song.
We are a television generation after all. We know all the theme songs of the shows.
Sorry sweetheart I'm white as a grain of white rice, but I grew up with the show effing love it. I agree with some people that have been on the show stop seeing race and start seeing family and love.
I was cracking up at those who didn't know what was happening...😂😂
@@targetedplantsguy9481 I’m sorry if the comment was misunderstood. It was not so target race but highlight the black audience members knew the song and were singing to it. This was a representation of black HBCU shows which was rare in its time. That’s all that was said. But i do agree that with race aside the show was loved by many.
@@targetedplantsguy9481why are you feeling excluded because someone mentioned the target audience of the show knowing the theme song? Literally nothing was said about white ppl 🤣
Debbie FREAKIN Allen is an ICON!! she literally turned this show into a CULT CLASSIC!!!
Facts!!
Yep because the first 2 seasons were Too white
@@user-tb4ch6qe2m The first two season wreaked of mayo. That's what happens when you allow white people to control black images--it's a recipe for a horrible outcome.
@@user-tb4ch6qe2mWhy were they too white
In spite of Bill Cosby. Debbie did what was right. Supported the cast. Made HISTORY that's still being told🏫👨🏽🏫 🎒📚👩🏽👨🏽.
One of the most important shows to ever be made. Thank you Debbie Allen for the gift. Your legacy is immeasurable.
I am 54 yrs. old and still love and watch this show daily. It is still so relevant today.
I commented earlier, every couple of years I rewatch the series. I still quote some of their lines from time to time. It was a really great show
Where can you watch it?
@@Robnags They show reruns on the various BET stations. I also believe it can be seen on MAX.
I have watched religiously since TV One aired it every day and later on streaming.
The wedding was so unforgettable.
SO Unforgettable!!!!!
The best wedding scene to date. Plus we got Eli Rowan Pope (Scandal) bc of whitley 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly
@@TT-xj3siYeahhh Exactly
Diahann Carrol was classic in that wedding scene. 😂
I'm excited like it's a Thursday night in 1988
Right?????😂😂😂
Aretha's voice put soul and spirit to the song, with a gospel feel to it. JUST WONDERFUL!!!
I am 77 years old and I still watch the re-runs, this is a classic.
My all time favorite show...if you're a true fan you know everyline from that iconic scene!!! They've all aged so gracefully and I love that they're still so close❤❤❤🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
So Jaleesa (Dawnn) just found the fountain of youth, huh? 🎉🎉🎉😊
Exactly. 😅Seems like She hasn’t aged a bit
Word.. And she was the older one of the student characters. She looks great and is really friendly. I met her at Essence Fest a few years back.
Ok, she looks Amazing
TRUE, TRUE 😊
She looks awesome. She's in her 60s
This felt like a conversation amongst friends or a close family gathering. Thank you for bringing us all along!
Definitely felt like a family reunion!
I was singing right along!! My fave tv show of all time!! ❤❤❤
This was an AMAZING interview. I love A Different World!!!! Black Culture is a vibe!!!!❤
I would've fallen over if "Chipmunk 's" Mama, Ms Patti LaBelle came out. Sure wish Ms Diahann Carroll was still here as well. 🦋
To this day when I recall Diahnn's character asking Patti Labelle's character on Thanksgiving: "Are those CHITTERLINGS?" I 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😁😁😁😁
So many Generation X and Gen Y enrolled at HBCU's because of the profound impact of this most iconic series. "A Different World" was truly in a league of it's own. 20 million views weekly was unprecedented and forever cemented Debbie Allen as an iconic producer. Thanks to the entire cast for having an impact on my life and the lives of multiple generations 🙌🏽 🤎👍🏼🙏🏻😊.
Smh. It's like these people are family. I absolutely LOVED this show. It's so beautiful to see them all. Loved every minute!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I ALWAYS loved that intro ... one of the absolute best there ever was/is 🥰🤩
Lord I loved that show, so wonderful to see all the faces again
Yeah but where is Denise Huxtable
This is the difference in culture and lived experiences. The thing people like to deny that exists
This is probably the best view moment ever.
Yes!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I agree!
I'm British and this was on Channel 4 (I think) at tea time in the 90s. Loved it!!
"Baby Please" was the best part! 😂
So nostalgic and exciting to see them again. Yay!❤
Sarah Haines always gets the invite.
And she delivers. Fits right in😊
because she hasn't said or done anything black women consider problematic yet
@@wcp4jcShe never will cause she’s got eQ
No.
It was so nice to see them, one of my favorite American sitcoms of all times just one thing, though: I wish they would had asked about Sinbad!
How do you know he was not asked. He is recovering from a pretty bad stroke.
@@ppwilbonShe said asked about him, not asked him.
@@mykoniichistorychannel Sorry we all make mistakes
Yeah. I thought that since they showed the clip that they would have mentioned him. I wonder if they went too long with their talking and couldn't get to mention him. Thst happens.
I'm mad because Kim is not there I was so in love with that gorgeous chocolate Queen 😍when I was a kid
Something must have held her up because she was at the White House with the others.
The only shows that I allow my 8 year old grandson to watch without me in the same room (to hurry switch the channel because of inappropriate content) is A Different Word and the Cosby Show. Thank you Bill Cosby !
*Legends* ✨💛✨
Dawn still looks and sound amazing !!!
I love A Different World..at 56 I still watch it, and that wedding seen Ms. Dianne Carroll was everything with her "die just die" 😂😂.. I love seeing them, praying Sinbad heals completely..miss his clean comedy.
I grew up watching this show!!
Memories 😊
Love love love the show.... One of my favorites growing up. Glad to see them all, God bless them ❤❤❤
That was so much fun! It was like watching the series all over again. Great interview!!!
This was one of the best, most dramatic scenes ever! I could have watched it over & over again. Fantastic, ionic classic show!
I’m ballin’ this was delightful 😊😊
Me tooooooo 🥲
I'm 55 and bawling! 😢 Reuniting with my college friends in my head!
As a kid, I had the biggest crush on Dwayne Wayne. I wasn't even old enough to have a boyfriend but there was just something about seeing a smart educated man that I recognized and looked for when I started dating.
Yes!!!! And I still like the guys that were “nerds”.
That DW theme song “View” style is like going to “Chuuch”. So much fun!
Beautiful moment in the beginning ❤
A priceless line in history!!!🤍🤍🤍
Let's go Pt.2! I didn't know that one of the cast members is the original songwriter of that song! Such a classic and yes I was singing along with the audience. ~ I know Kadeem gave Whoopi a pair of those glasses, we all remember Jumping Jack Flash now!
I didn't know Aretha Franklin sang the song, how did I miss that?
@@sable7114She was dating Glyn Thurman at that time. (Colonel Taylor on the show).
@@rheeryder2524 oh yes I recall that and I forgot he was on the show.
@sable7114 Really...Wow...Ok.
@@jonjonharreld7602 yep, after meeting Kadeem Hardison and some others on the set of renaissance man I forgot a whole lot of people from the show🤔
I'm not black and I know that song. I love that show. I wish they would do a reboot!
Reboots of classics usually suck, but this generation needs a show like this badly. There's many subjects that could be talked about that didn't exist back then.
This was one of the best shows of my childhood! 😄❤️
"Jaleesa" is the only that doesn't get old. 🙂
She looks so good!!!!!
This made my heart smile. 🙌🏽❤️
I need more of Jasmine Guy*
Watch her interview on The Breakfast Club
The guy in the suit is like I ain’t messing up this tux 😂😂😂 I ain’t moving lol
really I didn't get it that
❤❤❤❤❤ the reason I went to college!
This experience [it was more than a show] will ALWAYS be a highlight of my childhood 🤩
They don’t know how much this meant to us!
Different World should be adapted into a stage play.
I frikin loved, love a Different World❤
Top 3 favorite sitcom of all time
THE JOY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
For some strange reason i liked this show better than the cosby show
Its not strange, I feel the same way.
I was thinking the same thing! I never cared for the Cosby Show (found it to be corny) but I loved A Different World.
Iconic song and show
White people except Sarah wondering what in the world are they singing😂😂😂😂😂
I know every word. Never missed an episode! ❤
Sarah and you
A good many, perhaps ... I was too busy working in the 80s and 90s to catch but a few episodes, myself, but I still love that intro and hope to stream what I missed soon 🤩😊
The Kadeem and @VontelleEyewear collab is dope!!
Wow, it's because of this show, a few of my cousins and I graduated from an HBCU.
LOVED This Show... We need a reunion!!!! a spin off!!!!!
Love ❤❤❤❤this....🥰👋🏼⚘️❤️😎
My Absolute Favorite show.
If you didn't know that Aretha Franklin is the one who sang the theme song to "A Different World", then give back your Black card. 😊
Iconic spinoff show created by Bill Cosby! Thank you, inspired this lil gurl from the hood to go to college! I didn't even cosider anything else... My grandmother born in 1934 and raised near B'Ham,Al. Im apart of her legacy!!! She always promoted me to get my education! Now, I couldn't afford to go to an HSBC, but the idea of college and seeing people that looked like me definitely helped! Much appreciation to these actors! I got my degree in 2009👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I grow up on watching the show in the 90s. The cast look great.
I loved this show💖
This show is everything. I watched re runs growing up. Show ended when I was 6 years old. I looooove it. Still watch it. It was funny and smart.
They need to do a two hours show. Pick up with Kim as a doctor, Freddie a lawyer, Ron as bar/night club owner
I did an entire update for a spinoff
One of my favorite interviews Ever! Debbie Allen, you are a Baaaaad MammaJamma😍
I am smiling from ear to ear watching this, so happy for them and what they're continuing to do, this was the show to watch
Aretha wasn't playing on that theme song
Aretha Franklin The Queen Of Soul Doesn't Play Around On Any Song That She Sings And That's Why She's Crowned The Queen Of Soul...One Love Fam.
I loved this show and would not miss it every week. I now watch the reruns! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah I know every word to the theme song!
This brings back so many wonderful memories.
My show, Love them ❤️
I love this show so much 🥹
Loved this show so so much!! ❤
I liked watching this show when it was on NBC in the 80s after "The Cosby Show." The acting and the scripts were fantastic and funny. I cannot believe it's been over thirty years since the show ended. I am glad the cast are still friends, and they have inspired so many generations of young kids to go to a college of their choice to be like them. There are so many iconic TV shows that have entertained millions, and they give so much in return to let anyone know you can achieve anything if you do the work and never give up on your dream. Let no one tell you cannot do something because they do not know you as a person. It's their insecurities they place on others since they never tried hard enough to get ahead. Work hard for something that gives so much pleasure and passion about it. Make some goals on a piece of paper to make sure you are on target for what you want to pursue. Reinforce those goals every day by reading them, and crossing out the ones you have completed. You can do it.
The wedding was so unbelievable.
More of this cast please!!!!!
I want those glasses!!
Debbie Allen STILL lookin hot.
Just Beautiful...One Love Fam.
Will always love Different World❤
Brings back a lot of memories
Kadeem at the wedding ❤❤❤. That was ad libbed. Iconic moment.
I was so Whitley!
This was just beautiful
This right here! This is one of the MANY reasons for loving being black! How we just jumped into that thence song like an episode was about to start! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
it would have been nice to include Marisa Tomei.
She was only there for one season, and wasn’t an impactful character.
If you noticed, there was a stark difference in the tone between Season 1 and the rest of the seasons. No Lisa Bonet, no Marisa Tomei, Whitney's friend was gone, etc.
This is so great! I love this interview. I remember A Different World! I love all the characters still to this day.
Lord they did all they could but they could not take our spirit!
They can’t take what is God’s. EVER ❤
The wedding was my favorite part of the show
Love Love ❤️
I 🤎 Mr. Kadeem's outfit. I paused to see all of the Pan African symbolism✊🏾
I only wish they didnt cut it off before we could see the glasses he gave to Sunny, Whoopi, and Sara.
This was an excellent show! Loved it!
❤Jasmine guy
This show inspired so many people around the world past & present thank you to Debbie Allen & Bill Cosby for their moral compass & perseverance bringing A Different World into View for all to see
Oh my goodness, I am just grinning hard watching this. I had to replay the first part several times, just to sing along. That version of the song was the JAM!!! That was such a great time in life and that show was definitely an inspiration to me attending college and DID!!. I was in junior high and high school during its run.
Loved this show❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
When the audience started singing, the yt ppl didn't know "what in the Hilman-homecoming" was going on! 😂
Seriously, I owe my degree to these precious actors and creators. ❤🎉 BTW, Ms. Allen continues to be a force!
