Last month it was announced that cast members from the Lisa Bonet centered Cosby Show spin-off, “A Different World,” would be touring HBCU campuses across the United States
Comedian Sinbad, who suffered a stroke four years ago, and played Coach Walter Oakes for two seasons on “A Different World,” made an appearance on the premier stop in Atlanta through video stream.
It was pretty moving. Look:
A Different World is an American sitcom television series and a spin-off of The Cosby Show. It aired for six seasons on NBC from September 24, 1987 to July 9, 1993. The series originally centered on Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and the life of students at Hillman College, a fictional historically black college in Virginia. It was inspired by student life at historically black colleges and universities.
After Bonet’s departure in the first season, the remainder of the series primarily focused more on Southern belle Whitley Gilbert-Wayne (Jasmine Guy) and math whiz Dwayne Cleophus Wayne (Kadeem Hardison)
