Proof that the creators of "Friends" were racist...

- "Living Single," an African American-based sitcom that premiered in 1993 and followed the personal and professional lives of six 20 to 30-something-year-old friends living in Brooklyn, ran for five years and produced 118 episodes.

- "Friends"," a Caucasian-based sitcom that premiered in 1994 and followed the personal and professional lives of six 20 to 30-something-year-old friends living in Manhattan, ran for 10 years and produced 236 episodes.

118 multiplied by 2 is 236. Therefore, the producers of "Friends" are not only plagiarists, but they deliberately ended the series as soon as it reached double the amount of episodes that "Living Single" produced, in an effort to rub it in their (producers of "Living Single") faces.

Talk about a low blow! SMH

Wow... absolutely nothing in your post implies racism!

So you think it was just a coincidence that "Friends," which copied "Living Single," did exactly double the amount of episodes? Yeah, okay!

IF HATING LIVING SINGLE MAKES ME A RACIST...WELL,START MEASURING ME FOR MY LITTLE WHITE DUNCE CAP.

You're entitled to not being a fan of the show, but to say it sucked is just silly. The show "Living Single" obviously had an audience that loved it otherwise it wouldn't have lasted over 1 season.

‘Living Single’ Star Erika Alexander Calls Out Woke-Wannabe David Schwimmer for his "All-Black" ‘Friends’ Reboot Suggest

https://www.datalounge.com/thread/25446764-%E2%80%98living-single%E2%80%99-star-erika-alexander-calls-out-woke-wannabe-david-schwimmer-for-his-all-black-%E2%80%98friends%E2%80%99-reboot-suggest

Schwimmer acknowledged in an interview with The Guardian that “Friends” wasn’t the most progressive show on race when it aired on NBC nearly three decades ago, and that its all-white cast looks even starker in a modern-day context. The actor suggested in the interview that a potential reboot of the show center on a non-white cast.

“Living Single” premiered a year before “Friends” and featured an all-black cast. The comedy, which ran from 1993 to 1998 on Fox, starred Queen Latifah, Kim Coles, Erika Alexander, T.C. Carson, John Henton and Kim Fields and was one of the network’s most popular comedies.

OP--
If you are joking, okay.
If you are serious, you are a moron with less intelligence than a medium-size dog turd.
