Living Single Review.

The best moments in "Living Single," a comedy about four young women living in a fancy New York brownstone, occur near the conclusion of the half-hour, when the broad comedy has narrowed perceptibly. Khadijah (Queen Latifah) is the least cartoonish and most charming of the women, running a magazine geared at upwardly mobile African-American women. The low burlesque is provided by her wacky cousin, Synclaire (Kim Coles), her shallow cosmetologist childhood friend, Regine (Kim Fields), and her former college roommate, Maxine (Erica Alexander), a badass super feminist who believes that "men are nothing but speed bumps on the road to happiness." The preening Kyle (T.C. Carson) and Kyle's slow-witted roommate, Overton the handyman (John Henton), are the inevitable drop-by neighbors, both male.

All four women establish their characters well, and even though the writing isn't particularly funny, the ensemble works well together. And an all-female minority sitcom is rare and welcome enough to warrant consideration. The women's thoughts are earthy and honest, and they're sure to strike a chord with women who've had their own tell-all sessions.

An old take on Sex on the city but make it a sitcom.Provides positive messages about friendship and loyalty. This show celebrates African-American culture and community and the importance of accepting racial and ethnic differences.
