A Different World

After the first season of “A Different World,” the audience started to complain that it wasn’t an accurate depiction of life at an HBCU. So Bill Cosby tapped Debbie Allen to come on and revamp the show. As a Howard alum, Allen had a particular experience and Cosby made her the primary creative force behind the show.
