Edited Living Single pages by adding Reception and Production section.

Concept
Yvette Lee Bowser, show creator's, initial goal was to create a show about her and her friends that changed the potrayal of young Black people on television. Her overall goal was to portray Black characters in a positive and less sterotypical light. She also noted that the women represented on Living Single are four different sides of her, saying in an interview that "I've been as ditsy as Synclaire, as superficial as Regine, as bitter as Max and as focused and driven as Khadijah."

Audience Reception
Living Single remained one of the highest-rated program among Black audiences during its run from 1993-1998. However, the show had struggled to break into lists of top telvision programs that were viewed by larger White audiences. Those who loved and watched the show regularly have told show creator, Yvette Lee Bowser that they connect with the chracters of the show, love the cast, and are inspired by the positive, elegant, and professional portrayal of Black people on television. Bowser noting that, "People say our characters remind them of themselves, their friends or their relatives. They all know someone like one of the characters."
