No Idea's Original

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

So Living Single created the concept of a group of friends hanging out/living together?

 

[BlackAchilles]

That claim is pretty hard to really substantiate ...

Overton >>> Joey.

[Tunez]

Friends is trash

How is it hard to substantiate someone saying they got their idea from something else...something else they explicitly named?

 

[Man On Fire]

Whys there a transsexual next to her

Three's company, they all lived in the same apartment and one of them had to pretend to be gay to stay because of conservative social norms of the time.
Martin elevated one character over the rest and less players.

Splitting hairs but Friends is almost exactly Living Single just with white folks. 6 people living in the same apartment complex but not the same apartment (Living Single was 4 girls/2 guys, Friends even 3/3/ split).

Also, the producer specifically said he thought Living Single was the best thing out and then made a show just like it.

True and you can also say that sex in the city was an adult version knock off of living single.

Not denying that, just saying the concept of living single isn't special itself.

You have no argument then...stfu...
