Do you ever catch a rerun of one of your favorite shows from long ago and wonder how the conversation would have unfolded on twitter?
For me, reacting and connecting to others online while watching TV is what makes Twitter such a special place. I mean I don’t know how I’d survive the highs and lows of #TheWalkingDead (or #TWD or #DemDeadz) without my peeps. Or who would I passionately argue with about valuations and margins if it wasn’t for #SharkTank? To a certain extent I look forward to the conversation between the show as much as I do actually watching!
In this same spirit, Black Girl Nerds and Black Girl Geeks decided to host weekly live tweets to celebrate the Netflix arrival of one of my FAVORITE SHOWS: A Different World. Since it “debuted” on Netflix earlier this spring, they’ve gathered on Saturday mornings to live tweet Season 1.

I’ve probably seen EVERY episode but this show never gets old! Not only did I get to watch the later seasons as a child, but it was in heavy rotation in the world of syndication when I was in college. It seriously was some of the best bonding moments for me and my roomies. (“Relax! Relate! Release!” was our mantra.)
A Different World has always been more than just a TV show! It showcased a side of black academic excellence we don’t get to see often enough.
Saturday, May 30 is the “finale” and if you’re a stan for Denise, Jaleesa, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley, join the conversation using the #ADifferentWorld hashtag!
