David Schwimmer said in an interview that there should be a version of “Friends” with an African American cast. Now the Twittersphere reminds him that he already had one such option, the show “Living single”.
The famous NBC sitcom “Friends” for about six years lived in new York, the audience which watched love life, friendship and career of his characters. But for many years he was absorbed in fading the heat for lack of diversity, with white lead and few rare dark-skinned people in secondary roles. Now David Schwimmer, who played Ross Gellar, thinks it’s time to fix it by rebooting the version of the so-called “Colored friends”. The Internet now reminds him that it was already a show about black twenty six young friends living in a Brooklyn Brownstone, sitcom of the mid 90’s “Living single.”
In an interview with the British “Guardian” David, who is 53, said that the series “Friends” are “innovative”. “I feel that today a big problem in many areas is that so little is considered in the context. You have to look at it from the point of view of what the show was trying to do at the time,” he explained. “I’m the first person said, maybe something was inappropriate or insensitive, but I feel that my temperament was quite relevant at the time. I was really tuned into social issues and issues of equality”. Then he made the proposal, which now makes him chuckle. “Can be, should be all black friends or all Asian friends,” he continued.
