I had the biggest crush on Jasmine Guy when I was young.... enough to buy her album... |
"Try meeeeeeeeeeeee" in her "Whitley" voice . |
She was hot. That show Jumped The Shark when Whitley and Dwayne Wade, er, Dwayne Wayne got together. |
It was probably a jump the shark creation of Cosby's in and of itself. He couldn't handle Lisa Bonet so he gave her that forum, then she bolted. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Hmm, not sure. I've seen each and every episode a ridiculous amount of times. Never gets old.
Who was your favorite "Friend"? I've never really been able to answer this one. Each character is amazing in their own way. During the first couple seasons, I didn't like Ross, but as time went on, I became a huge fan of The Divorcer.
So many memories and hilarious moments for Friends. Here are a couple from a quick youtube search:
Sup with the wack playstation, sup?!
Hey, uh, you know that smell gas has?
Look at me, I'm Chandler, could I BE wearing any more clothes?
The Routine
More turkey, Mr. Chandler?
Baby got back
Pivot!

I think Friends started one season after Living Single did, but I can tell you one huge reason why it wasn't a ripoff: I can only remember one black person in the history of Friends...

Ah yes, I forgot about her. She dated Joey first, then Ross. Those were good episodes too. Aisha Tyler is so hot she sets the screen on fire.
Speaking of Living Single, was I the only one who wanted to be in the middle of a Kim Fields and Queen Latifah sandwich? _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |

I was never into self-asphixiation myself.
I'd take their friend who was always coming over though, Maxine. |

But, I understand the problem now.
First, you need to get some rest, bro.
Then, you need to get those eyes checked out because your vision has been compromised!

Curb.
Seriously, Curb and Lost are the only T.V. shows that have ever been worth watching, and that ever will be worth watching. Pick one of those two, or watch a netflix movie. |

Lost is not a sitcom and Curb is on HBO and therefore has alot less restrictions to be funny. It's like Seinfeld with cuss words and sex-related jokes, and that makes it better on some nights. Beside if you're trying to say that Curb and Lost are better shows that The Sopranos then you need your head checked. The Sopranos is by far the greatest show that was ever made by man on Earth. |
