A Different World
A Different World is an American sitcom that ran on NBC for six years. It started out as a spin-off of The Cosby Show and was about Denise Huxtable and the students at Hillman College, a made-up but historically black college in Virginia. After Bonet left at the end of the first season, the show mostly focused on Southern belle Whitley Gilbert and math genius Dwayne Wayne. Members of the major historically black fraternities and sororities were often shown on the show. Even though it was a spin-off of The Cosby Show, A Different World often talked about things that The Cosby Show didn't. One episode from 1990 was one of the first ones on American network TV to talk about the HIV/AIDS crisis.
