“Living Single” is an American sitcom that was broadcast on the Fox network for five seasons, from August 22, 1993, to January 1, 1998. The series follows the personal and professional lives of six friends residing in a Brooklyn brownstone.
During its time on air, “Living Single” emerged as one of the most beloved African-American sitcoms of its time, consistently ranking in the top five for African-American viewership throughout all five seasons. The show was produced by Yvette Lee Bowser’s company, Sister Lee, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television. While NBC’s “Must See TV” dominated Thursday nights in the 1990s, many African American and Latino audiences gravitated towards Fox’s Thursday night lineup, which included “Martin,” “Living Single,” and “New York Undercover.” Notably, these three shows were the highest-rated among black households during the 1996–1997 season.
