Living Single was an American television sitcom which aired for five seasons on the FOX television network from August 1993 until January 1998.

Plot

Living Single particularly centered on the lives of a group of four African American women and their friends, who lived in (or near) a Brooklyn brownstone. The series focused on the personal and professional lives of each character, as well as their relationships with one another.

Khadijah James, editor and publisher of the urban independent monthly Flavor, shares an apartment with her sweet but naïve cousin Synclaire, an aspiring actress who works as Khadijah's receptionist; and her longtime friend Regine Hunter, an image-conscious boutique buyer with a fondness for gossip and wigs. Maxine Shaw, a sharp-tongued attorney and Khadijah's best friend, stops by frequently to share her unique insights and make sure the girls' refrigerator isn't overstocked.

Living in the apartment above are Overton Wakefield Jones, a friendly handyman who holds deep affection for Synclaire; and Kyle Barker, a handsome funds manager whose constant verbal sparring with Max does little to mask their obvious sexual attraction.

Living Single was the winner of two NAACP Image Awards as Outstanding Comedy Series, in 1996 and 1998.
