A Different World

[LilWonderWoman]

Hey i'm just wondering if anyone watched the tv show. I loved watching it growing up and i'm watching it now that it's on oxygen. Who were you favorite characters, or episodes?

I love this show! I used to watch it all the time, when reruns were shown on TBS.

My favorite characters were Dwayne and Ron Johnson.

My two favorite episodes were :

1) Cats in the Cradle - Dean Cain guest starred in this episode. Ron promises to take Dwayne's to the big football game between Hillman and Virginia A&M. Ron then sells his ticket to a scalper and spends the game in his car. Three white students from A& M walk by, and one of them decides to start trouble. Ron bets them on the outcome of the game, declining to mention that their quarterback is out with the flu. With Hillman winning in a rout early in the fourth quarter, the guys come out and pay Ron without an argument. Ron taunts them and says that their team needs to recruit more black players. One of the guys wants to let it go, but his friends begin to spray paint a racial slur on Ron's car. Ron starts to fight them, and Dwayne comes out and jumps into the fray. They are all held by campus security, who threatens to have them arrested unless they explain what happened. Ron and Dean Cain both give biased accounts to make themselves look innocent.

2) Homie, Don't Ya Know Me? - Tupac Shakur guest starred in this episode. Lena's friends from Baltimore come to visit for the weekend. Lena is disconcerted to discover that Piccolo ( Tupac), her very attractive ex-boyfriend, has tagged along. Piccolo intends to prove that he has changed and win her back. He mocks her for dating Dorian, who tries to be mature about the situation. When Piccolo gets into an argument with Lena while dancing at the club, Dorian steps in to fight him. Lena's friend Yolanda accuses her of selling out by choosing college and her new friends over life in Baltimore. Dwayne tries to help Lena by relating his past experiences. Although Piccolo insists that he has turned away from the street scene, Lena feels he is the same selfish, unreliable person he has always been. She cares about him, but will not allow him to interfere in her life. Lena helps Dorian attend to his black eye and assures him that she is glad to have him in her life.

I loved that show. I still think that it has one of the best opening sequences with Aretha Franklin singing their song and cool continuous camera showing the cast. I thought Freddie was really cute, even though she was kind of crazy...
