Living Single’s second season, like its first, is blessed with well-defined leads. But what was impressive in One is less so in Two, for now we’re starting to look for how well-defined leads can evolve as a result of pursuing their romantic objectives in story. Here, Living Single cements itself as a good sitcom, instead of a great one, for in terms of story, it’s always subpar — a lot of its ideas are familiar, there’s a reliance on gimmicks (like stunt casting), and though its regulars remain well-conceived, they don’t singularly inspire and enliven plots like they should. Accordingly, there aren’t as many memorable outings (at least, relative to others — including Friends, up against which Living Single was now directly airing).
