Do you remember the short-lived TV show Thea? It was only on 1 season in 1993 but is a host of some great characters and actors that you will definitely know from other shows! Come find out what this show is all about as we take a journey back to 1993 and the dynamic of a single mom raising 5 kids her way and her daughter, Brandy, testing the limits.

When Jackie Warren's husband goes through a mid-life crisis and announces that he is having an affair, she decides to make a new life for herself. Once a wealthy socialite, she enters the work force for the first time and gets her own place to live. Jackie squeezes into a less-than-lavish but charming house owned by former football player Marion Hill, whose stellar career was ruined by a freak accident. To cover expenses while he trains for a comeback, he moves into the apartment above his garage and rents his main house to Jackie and her two children. The kitchen becomes common ground for the tenants and their landlord. With only two years of law school as her experience, Jackie is hired as a legal assistant by Heather Comstock, a young no-nonsense power attorney. While she's working, Jackie must find someone to take care of her children. Despite her misgivings about Marion, Jackie's overly dramatic teenaged daughter Tiffany and her brainy young son Austin convince her to give him a chance.

Season 1 of A Different World was all about Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and her freshman year at Hillman College. And in this episode, we see Denise trying to hang on to her academic life as she struggles with passing calculus. So, she signs up for tutoring but never dreamed she would get Dwyane, the guy who can’t get enough of her as her tutor! The calculus tutoring session is working but goes late into the night and since it is past curfew Dwayne is forced to leave the locked all female dormitory Gilbert Hall without being seen: through a fire escape. The problem is the only exit/fire escape is outside of Whitley's room. He tires but is spotted sneaking out and the conclusion is drawn that he was sneaking out of Whitley’s room. Rumors fly about Dwyane and Whitley and what may or may not have happened doesn’t matter…the perception becomes the reality. But Denise knows the truth…but will she speak up to save Whitley’s reputation?

We LOVE a guest star! And this episode features Charnele Brown from A Different World Fame who visits the set of Living Single as Khadijah’s friend from college, Jackie. Max, Khadijah’s current best friend, sees Jackie for who she is and tries to protect Khadijah when Jackie tries to take advantage of “an old college friend”. But we learn this has been happening since college and Jackie is much like Max…a mooch. However, Jackie does come through with one promise and we have a second guest star; Arsenio Hall as himself.

Meanwhile, Overton buys several pet fish for his apartment and blames Kyle when his name sake fish has the rest of the fish for lunch.

Three words that started a movement happened on this episode: Relax, Relate, Release. Now you see this on T-shirts, mugs, journals, as mantras, website titles, wellness guides and of course memes but it all started HERE!

So this week we cover A Different World, season 4, episode 14 Ex-Communication and this episode is packed with one-liners, famous Whitleyisms, and director Debbie Allen steps in front of the camera to portray Whitley’s therapist! Whitely is a little too excited about her ex, Julian coming to town to see her but her ego quickly takes a punch when she finds out Julian is engaged to a runway model and they are moving to Paris! Whitley begins lamenting about the luxurious lifestyle she would have had if she and Julian were married almost costing her relationship with Dwayne. Ultimately, Whitley is coaxed into seeing a professional to get to the bottom of her jealousy and almost drags her psychiatrist, played Debbie Allen, off the ledge with her. Dwayne, frustrated that he will he will never be good enough for Whitley and breaks off their relationship to make Whitley realize what she in him; all at the loss one good pair of stocking.

Meanwhile, Jaleesa is caught in precarious positions when the sports-loving client has her running ragged trying to land the account.
