When it appeared on the Fox TV network in 1993, Living Single was one of the first sitcoms to portray the everyday doings of a group of African America friends living ordinary American lives. It also pretty much launched the acting career of rap artist Queen Latifah (who performed its theme song) before she moved onto a thriving profession as a movie star. The format was nothing new, but it quickly became a hit and ran for five successful seasons. The setting was the office of urban-lifestyle Flavor magazine, where Khadijah James (Latifah) was editor, and the New York apartment Khadijah shared with roommates Synclaire (Kim Coles) and Regine (Kim Fields). There were frequent drop-ins by Khadijah's friend Maxine (Erika Alexander) and the duo of bickering best-friends from the apartment upstairs Kyle (Terrence T.C. Carson) and Overton (John Henton). From that formulaic setup came the good-natured storylines that allowed for plenty of Friends-like repartee (although Friends didn't premiere until the next year). It was also a little Seineld-like (which was just hitting stride in 1993), except that Living Single did not adhere to Seinfeld's "no hugging, no learning" policy. In episodes with titles like "Crappy Birthday," "Whose Date Is It Anyway," "Fatal Distraction," and "A Tale of Two Tattles," Khadijah and company engaged in familiar sitcom ensemble wise-cracking, back-stabbing, name-calling, and grudge-holding that elicited plenty of "WOOOOO!" responses from the studio audience, but everyone always went back to being supportive pals for the denouements. The series made it clear that Latifah was a charismatic and charmingly telegenic personality who had no problem sharing screen time with her co-stars. The bickering is most fun in episodes heavy on scenes between the gossip queen Regine and the upscale, quick-witted lawyer Maxine. The Ralph Kramden/Ed Norton dynamic between Overton and Kyle also makes for lively sitcom chemistry. There's no episode commentary on this first season, 27-episode four-disc set. The only extra is a 13-minute documentary, "How Ya Livin'? Season one of Living Single," which features new interviews with series creator Yvette Lee Bowser and some of the cast members (but not Queen Latifah). --Ted Fry

While I don't know the show by season, I HAVE seen this series and let me say this set will be worth your cash! In my opinion, Queen Latifiah, Kim Coles, Erika Alexander, Kim Fields, John Henton and T.C. Carson created a show that is pretty timeless. If was "Friends" before FRIENDS but better in my view! It not only made you laugh but it made you think about things deeper than that.
The only tragedy here is that it doesn't get the press that other black shows like Martin or The Cosby ... Read More

I miss those days back in the 90's, hanging with my girls/guys and having a good ole time. Living Single reminds me of those times. I just watched the DVD this weekend for the umpteenth time. My daughter(almost 18) loved it.
I have been waiting for the next season. I am wondering why the hold up. I need my Living Single. I am starting to enjoy more of the old shows and not these new TV shows.

I was thrilled when they finally released this on DVD. I preordered my copy, and a copy for my mother. We've watched the show from day one, and even taped episodes to watch later, so you can imagine how happy we were to finally see it on DVD. This is one show i'll never tire of watching (this and martin), it's full of laughs, and even has some "reality" related issues. Its' a great show to watch, now it's been what 2 years since the release of season 1, where the heck is season 2?? By now season 3 ... Read More

I was very pleased with this purchase! I have always loved Living Single from the very first episode. Before I bought my own copy I borrowed this from one of my girlfriends and it took me more than 6 months to return it because I watched it so much! She threatened me to buy my own copy or else so I did :) I can't wait till Season 2 comes out because I need more LIVING SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to buy this on DVD after feeling bad about missing reruns on Oxygen (plus I have to work when they show them anyway).
I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love this show - loved it when it ran on Fox, when the reruns ran on USA, and definitely still love it now. My favorite episodes - man, I can't choose one. This was one great cast and the ladies had terrific chemistry. Hopefully season 2 will come out on DVD soon, that was also good.
