And rounding out the crew is Khadijah James (Queen Latifah), a burgeoning entrepreneur who holds Flavor Magazine, and the household, together. Smart, sassy and single --- now that's Living." excerpt from the dvd.

"Living Single" is a sitcom about three women who reside together: Regine, Khadijah and Synclaire. Add their friend Max, who is ever present in their home, and their neighbors Kyle and Overton, and you have a great formula for what was a very successful TV show! Khadijah and Max are the most level headed of the bunch, often holding everything together. Synclaire is the naïve, sweet woman in the clan. Regine is the superficial, man hungry one of the bunch. Together they bring a heap amount of laughter! Although the show is titled, "Living Single", between the four of them, a man was often present. Season One includes a lot of great episodes. We see all throughout the season certain things: Regine will sometimes stop at nothing to gain the interest of a man, Overton has an undying crush on Synclaire, Max things she's the greatest lawyer alive, and Kyle's ego is as big as the day is long. Although Khadijah has a very hard edge about herself, she manages to attract some men in season one. In one episode, her friends feel neglected because she is spending much time with a man. Khadijah is illustrated as very headstrong, intelligent and usually tries to avoid conflict. Sometimes her friends would come to her trying to get her to gossip, and she would usually refuse. Synclaire is illustrated as a real sweetheart throughout this season. Sometimes, however, they made her say and do some things that made her look like a moron. For example, some of the things she did at her job were just unorthodox like firing one of her coworkers when Khadijah put her in charge because she was sick. But the love Overton has for Snyclair is undeniable. He always looks out for her and makes sure everyone is treating her nicely. Because he had his eye on her, he didn't want anyone else dating her, and sometimes he would go to extremes to prevent that. In one episode, Synclaire goes out on a date with a doctor. When Overton finds out about it, he goes to the restaurant where Snyclaire and her date are dining, and finds a way to get her date to leave, and Overton finishes the night with Synclaire, pure comedy! Several times, we see Regine dating different men with prestige and good looks. In episode one, she even dates a married man! She stoops to some pretty low levels to appease the men in her life. I recommend this set of DVDs to anyone who is looking for some laughter. I love watching the show because of the great personalities of the characters and the interaction between them.

had to get this and all the martin dvds...great trip down memory lane. i still can't believe it's been 20 yrs. since living single was on the air!! the time sure flew by!!well, for anyone who didn't get the chance to see the show back in the day: it's about 4 african-american women having busy lives, working and being friends. i really like how the show didn't do any negative stereotypes of black women. they were 4 professional women, with no kids and always busy. they also have great times with their upstairs neighbors, kyle and overton.back in the day, this and martin were my 2 fave shows to watch every week. now, if yvette lee bowser [show creator] is reading this...we need the rest of the seasons on dvd!! season 1 had that classic burglary show that i hadn't seen for the longest time. if you all loved watching the show when it was first on, the dvd is even better!! incl. an interview with all the cast [except queen latifah] on what they think of the show after all this time. get it!! i still love watching living single and the dvds take you back down memory lane.

I brought this as a birthday gift for my sister, she absolutely loved it.

I've never purchased a used item on Amazon before and this was a great experience. Living single was the greatest show of the 90`s. Kyle Barker and Maxine Shaw crush Ross and Rachel.

This is the original Sex in the City before they become Sex in the City, plus the addition of two male characters makes it more diverse and funny love it and arrived on time.

Perfect I need all of the seasons!

Loved the show all good
