Different World, A - Complete Press Release Shows January Release For A Different World
Posted by David Lambert

Back in mid-February, we posted exciting news that A Different World - Season 1 was coming to DVD in late August, per a pre-order listing at DVDPlanet.com. At the time we expected to have more info later in the week, but now more than a month's passed with no news.

The other day, though, word started spreading that UrbanWorks and parent Ventura were now talking about a January 2006 :( release timeframe for this box set. Various online sites were saying this, including hard-to-impeach sources such as Video Business and Billboard Biz. It was obvious that they were basing this information on a formal press release, and we've worked with the distirbutor and studio Carsey-Werner to obtain that exact press release for you. It also covers the confirmed-for-August release of The Cosby Show, which we talk about further in a separate news story. Artwork is courtesy of Carsey-Werner, but it is a publicity photo and may not represent the cover of the DVD release (the cast line-up isn't correct for the first season).

the complete story is here:

Thanks for the update

Sounds like a great Valentine's Day '06 present. ;)

shouldn't tadpoles be toads?

and what happened to Dewayne and Ron?
Big brother sam came in and yelled at them for not doing EVERYTHING together, so Ron dragged Dewayne into the shower with him.

Right, right...and that's when Dwyane___________

I Love Whitley's name!! Matter of fact my mom and brother started calling me that all the time after I started to call myself that!!!

Re: Just found out on E!
 

I saw it:D and it was so good to see them together. I so want them to do a reunion 1 hour special. See what happened to everyone. Did Dwayne and Whitley ever get married?, what happend to Gina and Jada's character?

Re: Just found out on E!
 

I missed this, I hope it repeats!

Re: Re: Just found out on E!
 

I was hoping for a 1 hour special also but only 30 minutes:(. Should I assume you missed the last season? Dwayne and Whit did marry and D was teaching in the math dept with Col. Taylor, who by the way married Jelesa and they had a baby. Col. Taylor's son Terrance at some point became a dance major. The way the show ended was Whit had lost her job at E.H. Wright Industries and took a job substitute teaching. One of her students, I forget the girls name, was having difficulty with spelling but loved to play the gameboy. Whit had brought this child home to tutor and Ron and Dwayne had made comments about grammer boy, a way to help kids with spelling on a game boy.

Gotta go do some work but I'll be back to finish this.:)

OK I'm back.
So, Dwayne presented this idea to the big wigs at Kanishiwa and they loved it. They offer him a promotion. Meanwhile, Whit discovers she's el prego and is worried how she will tell Dwyane with money being so tight for them. Dwayne comes home to tell Whit the great news and she grabs him and wants to play the grammer boy game. The idea is to put together a sentence with basic grammer. So Whitley says, "I" which is the noun, then "am" and then she pretends to toss a ball at Dwayne who in turn, swings at it right as she says "pregnant!" Then Dwayne says "Put'em together and what do you have? I-am-pregnant."
BAM!! He drops the bat during his realization and they have a beautiful husband- wife- moment where he hugs her.

There's more:)

that was a fun thread to read...
 

I have to tell you...I lived "A Different World" while it was running....all the way down to my Sorors calling me Freddie to this day...although, I still don't think I was quite as eccentric as she was.

Great memories...Howard University 1988-1992

Yes, I LOVED my HBCU experience!;)

I think I just may have to buy the series!!!!!

A Different World is coming to Nick At Night!
 

I just read that A Different World will start showing at Nick at Night by the end of the month! They also did a reunion that will also air when they do the marathon. :D

Season 2 was just released on DVD last week! :D

Different World comes on Oxygen early in the morning...

The groundbreaking ensemble comedy 'A Different World' will get another go, with its addition to the Nick at Nite line-up.

The Bill Cosby-produced sitcom was the first of its kind, introducing viewers to life at a historically black college and tackling social and political issues rarely explored on television.

Originally created as a spin-off for 'The Cosby Show' regularLisa Bonet, 'A Different World' kick started the careers of Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison and Dawnn Lewis. The sitcom also jumpstarted the career of Marisa Tomei -- a former soap opera actress who went on to win an Academy Award (1992's 'My Cousin Vinny'). 'C.S.I.' heartthrob Gary Dourdan also made his acting debut on the show.

Sinbad, Mary Alice, Loretta Devine, Tisha Campbell, Cree Summer, Glynn Turman, Jada Pinkett and the late Ted Ross also starred in various roles over the course of the series' six year run. Diahann Carroll, Richard Roundtree, Patti LaBelle and Ron O'Neal also made cameos, with Debbie Allen serving as director and producer.

"A Different World is a ground-breaking series that truly had one of the most talented ensemble casts on television," stated Nick at Nite President Larry W. Jones. "Filled with cultural vibrancy, the show explored so many important issues of our time and we are proud to add it to Nick at Nite's line-up."

'A Different World' will officially get the Nick At Night roll-out July 19, with a four-hour marathon beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series will air in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 10 p.m. from Monday-Friday beginning July 22.

I wonder if all the seasons of the show will ever be for sale.

I hope so. I'm missing a few episodes.

Dwayne and Whit's wedding is on you tube. It was a 2 part episode and the guy who posted it on YT broke it up into 8 segments.

A favorite episode for old times sake.

My mother got my name from this show!

Every once in a while, I will catch it on tv. Right now it playing on TvOne if anyone is interested. They just restarted it so right now on Season 1. I completely love the Wedding episode too!!! I can recite the entire part of when Dwayne got up during the wedding lol. (Everytime I watch it, I rewind that part at least a dozen times). I made sure to save it off to DVR to be transferred to PC later.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! TV One is having a Back to School a Different World marathon this coming weekend!!!http://www.siyclone.com/forum//style...efault/YES.gif
