Living Single: Season 03 (1995)

Member Rating:

Although Queen Latifah is irrefutably the star of Living Single in the role of New York-based magazine editor Khadijah James, many of the series' third-season episode place emphasis on the other regulars. For starters, the eternally squabbling Max (Erika Alexander) and Kyle (T.C. Carson) break up their romance for the umpteenth time. Also, after a bitter quarrel with herroommate Khadijah at the end of Season Two, Regine (Kim Coles) moves into her own place, at least until she and Khadijah patch up their differences; later on, Regine gets a new job as assistant wardrobe consultant on the TV soap opera "Palo Alto." As for Khadijah's Synclaire (Kim Coles), she and her boyfriend Overton (John Henton) are moving ever closer to marriage. New to the cast this season are Shaun Baker as Jamaican-born Russell Montego, who makes no secret of his desire for the desirable Regine--who in turn spurns him because he can't support her in the manner to which she'd like to become accustomed; and Bumper Robinson as NYU student Ivan Ennis, the new "gopher" in the offices of Kadijah's magazine "Flavor." Season Three guest stars include the NBA's Grant Hill, the singing group TLC, Eartha Kitt, CCH Pounder, Jasmine Guy, and father-and-son filmmakers Melvin Van Peebles and Mario Van Peebles. As the season approaches its cliffhanger finale, Khadijah faces the loss of her magazine in a lawsuit; Max runs for alderman, only to be subjected to a smear campaign based on her past romantic travails; and Overton encounters incredible obstacles in his efforts to propose to Synclaire. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
