A Different World, Season 1 on DVD today - the "it" gift of the season!
When asked about her experience on the show and its DVD release, Jasmine Guy says, "I am so happy that A Different World has stood the test of time. My six years on the show were a very special time in my life. Now a new generation can share in what truly was a fun and loving experience for us all."
ABOUT THE DVD
On November 8, 2005, UrbanWorks Entertainment, a division of Ventura Entertainment Enterprises, will release The Carsey-Werner Company's groundbreaking sitcom A Different World: Season 1 on DVD. The four disc set will contain 22 episodes from the first season of the award-winning show which debuted in 1987 and enjoyed a successful six year run. A Different World was created as a spin-off of arguably the most popular sitcom in television history, The Cosby Show. Initially, its storylines centered on the experiences of one of the Huxtable children, Denise, as she entered her first year of higher education at Historically Black, Hillman College. A Different World was the first and only show in television history to portray student life at a Historically Black College.
The show gained an instant following, holding the #2 ratings spot behind The Cosby Show for its whole first season and ranked amongst the Top 20 for the next five years. The series also helped launch the careers of young talent such as Marisa Tomei (Maggie Lauten), Jasmine Guy (Whitley Gilbert), Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Wayne), Jada Pinkett Smith (Lena James) and Dawnn Lewis (Jaleesa Vinson).
A Different World: Season 1 boasts over eight hours of programming and extras including a “lost episode” that never aired on prime time, featuring the late superstar recording artist and actor, Tupac Shakur.
