Rating:  - VERY GOOD STUFF
I Love the show and i was very delighted with the service.The DVD arrived before the expected time and was new.
Rating: - Living Single is still entertaining!
Before there was Friends, there was Living Single. Even after it went off the air I am still a Living Single fan. I loved this show then and I still love it now. Who could forget the first time we saw Kadijah, Sinclair, Regine, Max, Kyle and Overton, oh my! Everything about this show was the bomb! Kyle and Max arguing back and forth. The sometimes naive remarks made by Sinclair and Overton. Regine who is every woman whenever she changes her wigs. And Kadijah and her love affair with Flavor magazine.
I just wish they would hurry up and release Season 2.
Rating: - Where are the other seasons?
I just feel so at home whenever I watch any episode in my first season set. The DVD is superbly done. How will I know when the other seasons are available? I had no idea there were five seasons until I read the other reviews here at Amazon. I, too, will purchase all the rest. Just SOMEBODY please let me know when they come out. Thank You.

"Living Single" is a sitcom about three women who reside together: Regine, Khadijah and Synclaire. Add their friend Max, who is ever present in their home, and their neighbors Kyle and Overton, and you have a great formula for what was a very successful TV show! Khadijah and Max are the most level headed of the bunch, often holding everything together. Synclaire is the naïve, sweet woman in the clan. Regine is the superficial, man hungry one of the bunch. Together they bring a heap amount of laughter! Although the show is titled, "Living Single", between the four of them, a man was often present.
Season One includes a lot of great episodes. We see all throughout the season certain things: Regine will sometimes stop at nothing to gain the interest of a man, Overton has an undying crush on Synclaire, Max things she's the greatest lawyer alive, and Kyle's ego is as big as the day is long. Although Khadijah has a very hard edge about herself, she manages to attract some men in season one. In one episode, her friends feel neglected because she is spending much time with a man. Khadijah is illustrated as very headstrong, intelligent and usually tries to avoid conflict. Sometimes her friends would come to her trying to get her to gossip, and she would usually refuse. Synclaire is illustrated as a real sweetheart throughout this season. Sometimes, however, they made her say and do some things that made her look like a moron. For example, some of the things she did at her job were just unorthodox like firing one of her coworkers when Khadijah put her in charge because she was sick. But the love Overton has for Snyclair is undeniable. He always looks out for her and makes sure everyone is treating her nicely. Because he had his eye on her, he didn't want anyone else dating her, and sometimes he would go to extremes to prevent that. In one episode, Synclaire goes out on a date with a doctor. When Overton finds out about it, he goes to the restaurant where Snyclaire and her date are dining, and finds a way to get her date to leave, and Overton finishes the night with Synclaire, pure comedy! Several times, we see Regine dating different men with prestige and good looks. In episode one, she even dates a married man! She stoops to some pretty low levels to appease the men in her life.
I recommend this set of DVDs to anyone who is looking for some laughter. I love watching the show because of the great personalities of the characters and the interaction between them.
Rating:  - I love this show
Pros: I knew this sitcom was hot, but I never knew it was outstanding until my grandfather asked me for Season one for a birthday gift. Now when an 83-year-old man can sit down and giggle about four single women and their two male friends living life, handling relationships, and pursuing their careers all with a quirky sense of humor, that's great. I loved "Martin," but I'd rush through that show so I could get to "Living Single." This writer picked the right show, the right cast, the right dialogue, and it was such a relief to see a black television show that went away from all of the negative stereotypes that other t.v. shows and music videos LOVE to show. I watched them all in anticipation and even though I'd heard the jokes a thousand times by watching it in syndication, I still laughed out loud at the crew playing the dozens. I watched "Behind the Scenes," and it is very easy to believe that these folks had a great time onset and it wasn't just an act. I like how hip-hop was always incorporated and this crew would burst into melodies out of nowhere. I think my favorite moments were when they'd sing Christmas songs, bust out with Sugarhill Gang lyrics, "Brickhouse," "I Will Survive," etc. I could EASILY see me sitting down and chilling with people like their characters, and when I was in high school, my friends and I would compare how much each of us acted like a character on this show.
Cons: I love seeing Synclaire and Overton get together, but the only reason this didn't get five stars is because none of those episodes had Kyle and Maxine getting together. I am DEFINITELY picking up the next season. When those two were a couple, it was HILARIOUS!
