10 Reasons why we need 'A Different World' 25 years later

The super-talented Debbie Allen tweeted this yesterday

 Many fans went crazy over this because we remember what a fantastic show 'A Different World' was. If it comes back, it would so good on so many levels.

So to share my views; I have 10 reasons why we need A Different World 25 years later.

1. There are no Black shows of quality. The Tyler Perry coonery ain't cutting it.
2. We need a series that focuses on Black youth.
3. We need to see college as a positive, learning space for growth and creativity.
4. Everybody wants to see the original cast make an appearance or two... four.
5. The Black community needs to positive Black images and role models on TV.
6. Television should have diversity.
7. With the current state of racism and bigotry, ADW could use the show to address these issues.
8. We will see diverse Black characters. This show gave us Denise, Whitley and Freddie. Before then, we just had the same old same.
9. There are more stories that can be told in a deeper matter. Meaning, the new ADW could be a drama versus a comedy.
10. I'm interested to see what Debbie can do with a new generation.

I would love to see a new version of the show. We need more Blacks on TV and something more than sad mouthy (unmarried) housewives and sorry cheating men.



So, bring back 'A Different World'
