I've been watching Girlfriends pretty much from the beginning...I remember a lot of people (namely us folks of color) didn't like the show at first. People mentioned that it was a boot-leg version of Sex In The City...they felt some of the subject matter was offensive & derogatory to us...So, I find this interesting. Maybe people complained (in writing) to the producers of the show & the network where it resulted in some changes and/or tweaking. I just, honestly, felt it deserved a chance since Kelsey Grammer was a producer of the show....and, being that Frasier is a very smart sitcom, I felt that Girlfriends couldn't lose...well, I hope the show continues to do well at bringing up real issues, as well as entertaining not just us...but, the people who ain't of color!
