A Good Show,Cheated out of a good exit

Living Singles was one of the best shows of the 90s.This may suprise many people because it was,of course,a black comedy.A show about the lives of 4 black women living in the intercity of New York.Along with Kyle,a stunning charming gentleman,and Overton,a handy-man.This was one of the best sictoms of our time,and it's time.

But then the worst happen,some of the shows finest stars left,and took with them elagance of the series.Regine and Kyle was a big lost,to me.The the way the exited was done very poorly.Especially with Regine,which the writers should've had a special episode of her wedding. And the way that Kyle and Max's love affair ending,just made me sick. The show was ruined in the end by bad writing and creativity.If the writers would've just would've let the show end with Regine's wedding,and then Max finding out that she was pregnant(like the episode of FRIENDS,TOW Monica's wedding,part 2)and then finding out Kyle was the father,this show would've have had a successful ending(and prob another season.)

My rating for this show:7 out of 10
