An Ode to A Different World.

image

Like many twenty-somethings today, I frequently reminisce about the good old days of the 90’s. It was a simple time filled with the best of music and TV.

With shows like “Boy Meets World” filming a spin off series and talks of “Moesha” returning, it seems like 2014 is the year of the comeback. I only ask the powers that be to please bring back “A Different World”! Or, at least release seasons 2-6 on DVD because we’ve been patiently waiting. 
It’s no secret that fans want the show to return. There’s even someone selling Hillman apparel and a change.org petition to get the DVD’s released.

I’m amazed at how over 25 years have passed since the show has aired, but the topics are still relevant. In its six seasons “A Different World” managed to touch on topics including domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and race to name a few. Not only that, but there were guest appearances from Lena Horne, Patti LaBelle, Diahann Carroll, Tupac, Gladys Knight, Billy Dee Williams and countless other legends!


In 2012 during the 25th anniversary of the show, Miss Debbie Allen even tweeted about revisiting the “wonder arena” we know as Hillman.
