Favorite Different World Episode

[KoolAid]

Favorite Character: Tie between Whitley and Charmaine
Least Favorite Character: Maggie
Favorite Episode: Couldn't pick just one...Tribute to Lena Horne, the pledging episode (when Kim pledged ADRho), Ron drinking breast milk, oh yeah I, too, like the episode when Lena does her step "L to the E to the N to the A, step off you ain't gettin no play" (thanx ClassyLady for mentioning that one)
Least Favorite Episode: Don't have a least favorite
When D.W. jumped the shark: Well, I've always watched the show but I didn't see the point of Jaleesa and Colonel Taylor getting married.

[cleopatrajones]

Favorite Character: Whitley Gilbert. I liked the whole Southern belle thing she had going on. She was funny and I enjoyed seeing her grow throughout the years. I also loved Shazza because I think he is sooo cute. Gary Duordan is FINE!

Least Favorite Character: Denise. She was so ditzy.

Favorite Episode: When Dwayne's mom came to see him and Kinu and Whitley was the maid. (For that matter any episode with Dwayne's mom). Also when Dwayne and Ron were pledging and when Kim was pledging. I loved any episode with Shazza.

Least Favorite Episode: The early one's with Denise and Maggie.

I love A Different World. I used to want to go to Hillman and I was disappointed when I found out it was not a real school (I was young and naive). I still watch the reruns that come on at 8AM on the Superstation before class!

fav character
Kim Reese - female
Dwayne - male

least favorite
Maggie Lauten - The show was trying to "find" itself when she was on there...they were suffering big time.

fav episodes
Whitley and Wayne's wedding was my all time favorite. I have it on tape thank you very much!!

I also enjoyed the serious storylines dealing with AIDS, domestic violence, racism, etc. College students continue to experience matters in those areas.

The dorm step off. We did that at my college 10 years ago!!!

least favorite

"all the episodes where Dwanye was seeing Kinu" DITTO

What the heck did Denise Huxtable think she was doing on that show????? Were those the worst episodes ever or what. She represented that student who had to finally realize that college "ain't" for everyone.

jumped the shark
When they were searching for a story line for my girl Jada!

Annnddddd the all important....

WHEN D.W. JUMPED THE SHARK !

Favorite character by far was Miss Whitley Gilbert. Her evolution on the show was just wonderful to me - she started out as a spoiled rich brat, and ended up as...well, she was still a spoiled rich brat, but with much more of a heart.

Least Favorite character had to be Terrance - Colonel Taylor's son with the ponytail...YEECH.

Favorite episodes...A TIE:

Whitley with her therapist Debbie Allen saying "Re-laaaaxx, Re-laaayyyte, Re-leeeease". I still say that whenever I feel stressed, LOL.

and

Any episodes with Diahann Carroll, Patti Labelle, or Ron O'Neal (remember, Whitley's dad was SuperFly).

and

Jaleesa runs the temp agency and gets Freddie a job as receptionist at Whitley's workplace, and Freddie goes off on the black chick for being anti-affirmative action. I like that one.

and what I think is truly my favoritest,

Whitley agrees to be Dwayne and Ron's maid when he's dating Keinu and Patti Labelle, bka Mrs. Wayne, comes to visit. Remember Keinu and Whitley are fighting and end up DROPPING Mrs. Wayne's PRUNE COBBLER (but luckily she had a spare in her purse) and she WENT OFF on them, LOL. Keinu said, WHITLEY IS FIRED! And Dwayne said you can't fire her, and Keinu said why, she's just the maid, and Dwayne said, "She's not just the maid". I remember thinking "daaaammmmnnnn!" Keinu's face was BROKE. But the funniest was how Whitley would always call her out of name, saying "Okay Kee-koo-koo/Ke-lo-lo/Ke-Ku-Kee" and stuff like that, and finally Keinu yelled "it's KEINU KEY-NU!!" I love that episode.

Least favorite episode was when Dwayne interviewed with Kinishiwa and Keinu was the interviewer and didn't give him the job. I still TO THIS DAY think she was hatin' on him and Whitley, LOL.

They jumped the shark with me when Colonel Taylor and Jaleesa got married. They also messed me up when they hooked up Freddie and Ron - Freddie would NEVER screw Ron...

I liked Shazza tho - he was sexy

[zetafg]

YES....YES....YES!!!!!

I AM A HUGE FAN OF A Different World!!!

I can see a scene, or hear a few words and tell you what the show is about.

I never went away to college so Hillman was my college life.

Favorite Shows:

The Wedding ( I have that on tape) I still squeal, give the BIG kool aid smile, and get teary eyed when I see or think about that episode.

The Dorm competition ( I have that on tape too!) Na na na na na na na na na na na na....OOOOOOOO....A B C D EFG....Gilbert Hall's the one for me...

The Date Rape I love me some Tiamak (The Last Dragon is one of my Favorite movies)

Let's see what else? Oh yeah, just about ALL of them!

Favorite Character:

Kim, Whitley, Dwayne, Lettie ....okay so Just about ALL of them.

Least Favorite Character:

Millie - Why was she even there?
Maggie- See above

Least Favorite Episode:

I'm not sure about that one....I'd have to think about that...wait....Most of the ones Denise was in...I mean they were okay for what they were worth. I liked the episode when Rudy came to visit.

Jumped the Shark:

ADW had its weak moments, but it still managed to come out on top. IMO. I didn't quite understand the Jaleesa Col. Taylor thing.

I would like to see a reunion show. What does Dwayne and Whitley's baby look like? Did Kim and that guy get married? His name escapes me for now. Did those other kids ever graduate? Did Freddie become a lawyer?

"I know my parents love me....stand behind me come what may...." First season version.....then the last season version...

[nikki25]

Three_Love: I'm mad that you knew the lines of the DW episodes ALL too well!!!

zetafg: No one ever mentioned Millie...but I also didn't see her point...aside from the fact that she was Whitley's yes girl.

[Rain Man]

...I do remember certain eps.

-The one where this one student confessed that she was diagnosed with AIDS, and I think she later died.

- The one where there was a sit-in b/c the radio station went off the air for playing an offensive song.

- The one where Mr. Gaines and Col. Taylor were in a bowling tournament and one of them couldn't play very well.

- The one where Whitley and Dwayne were honeymooning in LA during the Rodney King riots (Interestingly enough, a secretary at a job where I used to work was born during the '65 Watts riots).

- The premiere ep.

The biggest reason why I wasn't a fan was b/c I was in high school and could not relate to the show very well. When I finally got in college, IMHO the show jumped the shark--it definately did in the '92-'93 season with the new Boys II Men theme and charactors.

Just my thoughts

[Miss. Mocha]

Fav Character

It's a three way tie, I love Whitley, Lena, and yes, Ron. He is freaking hilarious!!


Least Fav Character

Two way tie between Tyrell and Dorien. Why did they have him sounded like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr? Hated hearing him talk!!!!


Fav Episode

The episode where Dwayne goes to Whitley's apartment to bring closure to their broken engagement, and they end up sleeping together. She's all dazed and confused the next day, and not only does Byron show up, but so do Lance and Charmaine. Total hilarity.

[Senusret I]

Fav Character

Hmmmm....PROBABLY Freddie, because she was holdin' it down for the Black Bohemians once Denise left the show.



Least Fav Character

I didn't dislike Denise, I disliked what they did with her character once she got to college.

You know....I always disliked Dwayne Wayne.



Fav Episode

KAPPA LAMBDA NUUUUUUU....zoom zoom zoooooooom!

and

All but the last minute of the episode where Whitley and Byron were supposed to get married.

"Die, just die!"


Least Fav Episode

I didn't like the "preachy" episodes, especially where Tisha Campbell had been in one episode, then ALL OF A SUDDEN she's HIV positive.


Jumped The Shark

When Whitley chose Dwayne. They should have ended the series right then, it woulda been perfect, and I coulda lived with their marraige.

[StrangeFruit]

My fav Episode

Whitley and Dwayne's wedding day

&

The episode where my "baby daddy" Tupac Shakur visits Lena

That was the show. I wanted to live that type of college life. Those where the good ole days.
