do you ever just mourn for the way things used to be

Remember when Kim Possible was on Lilo and Stitch?

Or How about when The Proud Family decided to visit?

Or when those fucking kids from Recess came over to Hawaii

[skincarvedheart-blog]

Lilo was a popular little bitch.

Living Single

So I’m reading a collection of interviews from a book called African-American Screenwriters Now, published in 1996. Yvette-Lee Bowser, who’s the creator of Living Single, revealed the following in her interview: 

“To produce a positive, hilarious show about young African Americans trying to make it. That was my primary goal. It’s important to me that the show came from a positive place, and that it depicts us loving each other in our way. It must also be honest to who we are. That it’s funny is also critical. [Laughter] After all, we are doing a situation comedy. […]

I did about seven drafts of this show before the network gave a green light to the pilot. I just reworked and reworked and reworked. I thought that I could not write it again without hearing the actors read the words. I just couldn’t do it again. 

There was a tremendous battle getting the show to the point where it was actually produced. They were able to read the script and kind of feel the characters, but not really, because the show is different. The show feels different, and I think it reads differently from a lot of other shows. 

They wanted a show about black women, but I think they were looking for more hands-on-hips, finger-popping, gum-snapping women, and that wasn’t quite what they got. I think that, to some degree, they were a little intimidated by some of the characters and how strong they were. They actually asked me to get rid of one of the characters, and I really had to stand my ground. 

Having gone through all of those battles to get the pilot produced, the show’s immediate success was just that much sweeter. I felt it in my heart. It was important enough to me that I felt that the camaraderie these people have was worth putting on paper. I thought there must be someone else out there who feels the way I do about their friends. And apparently there are a lot of people who feel that way, because there are a lot of copycat shows. People have referred to Friends as the original, but we all know that Living Single was here first.”

And we all know which character the network wanted to axe…

SN: All the interviewees unsurprisingly reveal the same things: “They felt my film/show would fail because it was too different, too smart.” “They wanted to water it down/cut this out.” “I had to fight to get it produced.” “It took years to get it produced.”

Something else she revealed:

“At the beginning, [the network] wanted it to be about women and their boyfriends. It was heavily pushed in the direction of a show about dating. I always wanted it to be about more than that. The premise was sisterhood, for me. Interpersonal dynamics. […]

The first episode kind of reaffirms and restates the series’ premise. It’s an episode about sisterhood and what we mean to each other; how even though we can make it on our own, we really need each other.”
