I thought TBS shows ADW Monday to Friday at 9am?

Your right they air it Mon-Fri at 9 am eastern time. But they use to air it twice daily that is what I meant to say. They use to air it on weekends to but stupid "Coach "airs in its place now.

I agree that the first season of the show is a completly different show than the rest of the season. Here are my thoughts. The first season of the show Denise was the lead character and the other characters were just supporting characters. All of the stories revolved around her. Also the character especially Dwayne and Whitley are completly different characters the first season than the rest of the show. The first season they were very one dementional and the viewer rarely got to see them beyond their public vesas.

After Lisa left the show, it became of an unsomble show. Dwayne and Whitley became more human to me. It was a group of characters in a college rather then one character in a college and her classmates.

Personally, I liked all of the season's exept the last one, it stayed on the air one season to long like most sitcoms (even the Cosby show stayed on a year to long). But even though I liked the first season I still liked the Denise character better on the Cosby show (atleast her first run on the show, I don't know about when she came back and brought husband and Olivia with her)

Though she did make a guest apperance in the third season when Dwayne visited her, I would have liked for Denise to visit Hillman, catch up with the old characters and meet the new ones at least once after she left the show.

Recap, Denise was better on the Cosby show, Denise should have visited Hillman atleast once after she left, and the last season sucked.

I think the characters were very unlikeable after Denise left. The second most likeable character on that show was Marissa Tomei and she left when Denise did. It also helped to have The Huxtables appear from time to time.

Well, I prefer the show with Denise.
