It was wonderful to see a reflection of myself on TV. It really was a window to white America that black do strive in their lives and want a better future for themselves such as they do. I have come to appriciate the fact that they had blacks from all socioeconmic backgrounds unlike the ghetto fabulousness that we are lumped into today. I kid you not that to this day when I see Dwyane yell out at the wedding I cry like I did when I first saw the episode in 92. I wish we had shows like this today!

But one thing, Im surprised noone mentioned the "racism" episode where Dwayne and Ron (and the wolf mascot;) were locked up for fighting with the white boys at the football game and they all gave different versions of what really happened.

I thought about that episode! I especially love how later on Whitley refers to it as Kim’s “brush with Senor Stork.”

@Kellebelle
And you know when they started throwing on Inhale Yoga instead of ADW homegirl was slippin on the job.

@jazzfan360
Je’mappelle I’ma fail” was one of the few great moments once “the new class” came along – that and as much Patti and Dihann as they would give us.

@hottnikz
Only dry season one is on dvd :-/
