How good are these times? And to what end to we owe any responsibility to act collectively? The nosey neighbors stood up for the neglected child they witnessed her beating up her doll after J.J. It’s pitiful and difficult to watch, but whom else to speak on behalf of children if not popular culture. Actually, Penny was more attracted to her mother like a moth to a flame her mother heavily bruises her and burns the child with an electric iron. Penny inappropriately transfers her need for love to J.J., even interrupting the man’s dates, hanging onto him like a - dare I say - moth to a flame. Penny, barely reaching tall-actor Jimmie Walker’s chest, is a heavily abused and neglected child raised by a young ghetto mamma. The episode centers around Janet Jackson’s character, Penny. In this one episode, the number of social messages transmitted is incredible. Larry Hagman, of course, played a supreme patriarch in the hit show I Dream of Jeannie, where a scantily clad, Arab-wannabe, female slave bid his every wish, falling over herself to please her “master.” What kind of patriarchal wet dream is that? The same as shows like Dallas and the rest, where money reigns supreme - just like in the world of Bling! Ewing’s (Larry Hagman) dad made ethereal guest appearances after the actor had died in the evening soap opera drama Dallas (‘78-‘91). I mean, it’s a family show where they killed off the father. sons, welfare hot mamas like that of Penny, and so on. Rolle eventually quit the show in shock and resistance to those same clichés about poor people and Black people: single, domineering mother, sex-sillified P.I.M.P. closely mirrors that of Fred Sanford and his sanctified sister-in-law on the show Sanford and Son (’72-’77).
The comedic tension between Sis-Bro duo Thelma and J.J. I can imagine that for the ’70s crowd, the show was chock-full of ghetto fabulous stereotypes and archetypical characters.

The whole show runs over three, maybe four episodes. This is just a nine-and-a-half-minute excerpt. All rights reserved.“The Evans Get Involved” is groundbreaking. We love how people love Living Single.”Ĭopyright © 2022, ABC Audio. “You don’t want to just throw everything together, like, ‘What would we be doing now? What are these characters doing?’” Fields said. When asked about the possibility of a Living Single reboot, Kim said she would be ready, but only if it preserved the strong legacy of the series. The 53-year-old actress is currently featured with Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes in the Netflix comedy The Upshaws. Then from 1993 to 1998, she starred in Living Single.

And so, it was wonderful to see her, but we've known each other since I was 7." "We hadn't seen each other in about 15 years. "We've been calling that 'the hug heard around the world,'" Fields told E! News on Monday. Janet starred in the show as Penny, and Kim made guest appearances as her friend in two episodes.
