at least a few of the episodes I've seen lately again(in reruns) on TV One have given me a Friends vibe.
Like Max and Regina going to Jersey get tattoos... Phoebe/Rachel did the same exact thing.
The flashback episode of how they all met etc Friends did the same.
I guess tons of shows copy each other but I can understand why people saw parallels between Friends and Living Single.
There's a Living Single marathon on TVOne tomorrow I might have to watch it to see if I can spot anymore Friends parallels.
