Originally, the series was to be centered around white student Maggie Lauten’s (Marisa Tomei) experiences at the HBCU Hillman College. Instead, the show became a direct spin-off of The Cosby Show with Denise Huxtable as the lead and Maggie as a supporting character. When Debbie Allen took over as producer, she thought about making the show about both characters, but both actresses left the show after season 1.
