Rating:  - Series 5 Stars, DVD Packaging 0
First about the show, didn't catch this show while it was in it's run the first time around, but have since and it's one of my favorite shows.This show is all about enjoyment, entertainment, it really makes you laugh and for me, takes my mind off of troubles, and isn't that what a comedy show should do?All i can say is this , if you havn't seen it, give it a try, i bet you will love and appreciate it as i do.Now be warned, there are no "very special episodes" of this series, you know where one one of the girls is attacked, and you won't see the girls having to deal with their roomates "drug habit", or any of that other nonsense that is thrown into every single thing we have on tv now!Again, this is all about escape and the writing is top notch!The quality of the discs are very good,id say the picture and sound are a good 8 out of 10.
Packaging:
Well this is Warner Bros. afterall and they are THE worst when it comes to dvd packaging. While most of the smarter companies have gone to the slimline dvd case( which makes it almost impossible for the dvds to come loose),good ole backwoods Warner Bros. still uses the jewel case style cardboard packaging.You know, the ones where you get the discs to your door and most of them are dislodged from their holder? As a bonus feature they are overlapped on eachother which means when you put one disc back you have to remove the other first, simply lovely, right? Well i guess Warner thinks we should be happy because at least they are not flippers, which Warner Bros still makes!!!!!
*****************UPDATE**************************************************
The show gets a 5 hands down, the people in charge of taking their sweet time rolling out this dvd and then taking now, almost two years and no follow-up season release, well those people get a negative 5 stars.Funny how really stupid asinine shows roll off the line and onto shelves hand over fist, but good quality, positive shows like this get played around with, but I'll tell you what there are plenty of places out there where people have recorded the shows over the years and sell them on dvd , sure they aren't great quality like this, but they are better than nothing!I for one am sick of the industry and from today on will do my best NOT to support it, you don't wanna support us fans? Well, when we purchase dvds we help pay your salary and guess what, i don't wanna do that anymore.
Rating: - Whoa!! This is sooo coool!
I never really got the chance to watch this show on TV during their premiere. Awesome collection. I'm sure, judging by the previous commentators, that the chronology of this first season set is off. I still don't know how the four girls became room buddies and the two fellas. But nonetheless, this is a great start up. Glad to have it in possession. Now I hope for the other seasons the executors arrange a better timeline for us folks who really never got to see this show. Other than this small annoyance, the DVD set is great! Love all the actors/actresses. They are all gems and funny as heck! : )
Rating: - This show starts with greatness!!!
I dont usually buy seasons 1 and 2 or 3 of some shows- because the characters and actors still need time to become confortable with the everything-but this show starts off PERFECT- a lot of the shows i thought was in the 3 and 4th season were in the 1st- and it gets better by season- simply awesome- if u thinking about buying it- GO AND GET IT- its WAAY worth it :)
Rating:  - Funny show--about time it came on DVD!!!!!!
I liked "Living Single" when it appeared on Fox in the '90s. Perhaps the biggest gamble and risk was of Fox putting it against NBC's ultra-popular sitcom "Friends." But Living managed to get strong audiences while Friends was always No. 1 or top 10. For that alone, Fox kept the show's integrity going without saying anything about the other network's competition. I'm really getting this DVD and future seasons' DVDs to really follow on Maxine's on-off relationship with her boyfriend played by TC. I didn't pay close attention to it during the show's run.Their relationship got stronger in the fourth and fifth seasons. Queen Latifah, Kim Fields and the very funny Kim Coles were all good on the show and Erika Alexander was the best out of the four actors on that show with her Maxine character. Her Maxine character was the most believable. Kim Fields' Regine was always changing her hairstyle on nearly every show. Latifah really managed to translate well to TV after several rap albums. She has always been good at anything she does--TV, movies, music, daytime talk show that lasted 2 years and so forth. Some of this season's first shows from '93 are a little weak--some of the writing is a little silly, but the show's '94 episodes were better as well as the next four seasons. It's kind of similar to some of the characters on "Friends",the quirkiness and adult humor of some of them. Plus, they live in an apartment. I liked that they finally put it on DVD even though it's been on syndication on local stations and cable networks for a few years now. Don't wait no longer--get this DVD now and start laughing!
