10. A Different World (1987-1993)
Spun from an already extremely popular ’80s sitcom, The Cosby Show, A Different World had big shoes to fill. The show follows the second oldest of the Huxtables, Denise, as she ventured off to Hillman College. However, Denise didn’t love school, and dropped out after one short year. While all of this was happening, viewers became attached to her Hillman friends — remember Dwayne Wayne, Ron Johnson, and Whitley Gilbert?
Despite the show’s hilarity, it also touched on serious and prevalent issues, including its depiction of race and class, as well as AIDS, date rape, and affirmative action, per Business Insider.
