Last month it was shared that cast members from the Lisa Bonet centered Cosby Show spin-off, “A Different World,” would be touring HBCU campuses all around the United States.
Comedian Sinbad, who confronted a stroke 4 years ago, and played Coach Walter Oakes for 2 seasons on “A Different World,” went on the premier stop in Atlanta via video stream.
A Different World is an American sitcom tv series and a spin-off of The Cosby Show. It aired for 6 seasons on NBC from September 24, 1987 to July 9, 1993.
The series truly 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 1st season, the remainder of the series primarily aimed more on Southern belle Whitley Gilbert-Wayne (Jasmine Guy) and math whiz Dwayne Cleophus Wayne (Kadeem Hardison).
