The Last Season of A Different World looked like a-"SPINOFF" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 02-21-2006, 01:10 PM

It was because of all the new characters in this last season and less apperances from characters that viewers were used to.

In the 1992-93 season, the show focused was on

Dorian
Charmaine
Lena
Terrell

And it was less apperances of

Dwayne
Kim
Freddie
Whitley
Ron

Do you agree the last season seemed like a Different show?

I'd say it was different in that with Whitley and Dwayne finally married, the show focused on other storylines. I wouldn't call it a different show, but there definitely were some significant changes ion season 6. I'll say one episode, the one with Billy Dee Williams and Leslie Uggams felt like a spinoff, or a set-up for a spinoff series.

I wouldn't really say so. With Dwayne and Whitley married and no longer students it was only natural that they focus on the undergraduates. Plus Dawnn Lewis was gone (and quite frankly not really missed by me). Kim, Ron and Freddie were still a significant part of the series though. Truthfully a show set in a school that focuses on the students instead of the faculty can only run for but so long. They did a very good job in keeping it going as long as they did.

I think that episode was a pilot that NBC ordered for a potential spin-off of the show since it was really time for the main characters to move on. I thought it would have did well for a few seasons if they gave it a good time slot.

Yeah she was a hip hop girl but that doesn't make her Ghetto. Did you even watch the last 2 seasons of ADW?
