I hadn't heard about this. Would be great to catch.

Kim was, by far, the most interesting woman on the show -- or at least the most attractive. She was WAY underutilized. What's up with the actress playing her? What have you heard?

I'm also not surprised to hear that Lisa Bonet would do this, despite the fact she didn't do the Cosby reunion. Her reason for not doing the Cosby reunion had to do with what she thought was a sort of fixation on ratings, money and ego on the part of Mr. Cosby. She said she "just didn't feel the love." A Different World, to me, always had a different impetus. It can't have been a huge cash cow for NBC, but it had a loyal niche audience, and it did wonders for portraying young blacks in a someone lesser seen light. There was no show quite like that one.

Yes, there's still peace between Lisa & Bill these days.
