How 1993 Sitcom Is a Point Of Inspiration For Shows Like ‘Friends’ and ‘Partner Track’

Sitcoms, since time immemorial, have been the remote representation of our real
lives on screen. That is why these shows seem to bind us together, weaving the
life stories of the common person that we reckon with. Over time, the tools have
changed, but the logistics have remained the same. Great American sitcoms like
Friends, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Young Sheldon,
and recent pieces like Partner Track and many more are the perfect examples of
how a sitcom could become a lot more than a mere TV show. But these are just the
surface of it.



The actual potential sitcoms that modern-day shows derive their inspiration from
have become archaic and antiquated. So let’s take a moment to reminisce about
the age-old sitcoms that have laid the basic foundation for what we binge-watch
today. One such sitcom is the late 90s’ Living single, whose synopsis and plot
lines run parallel with Friends and modern-day shows like Partner Track.


FRIENDS AND PARTNER TRACK ARE JUST THE GENTRIFIED VERSIONS OF LIVING SINGLE

Six young adults coexist together, mending their lives out through the struggles
they face in settling down in the world’s greatest city. Sounds familiar? Well,
the 1993 American sitcom Living Single
[https://ew.com/tv/living-single-where-are-they-now/]is all about it. Following
its lead came the best of all, Friends, which had somewhat of the same
storyline.

Both the shows bear uncanny resemblances for which viewers call Friends a
revamped version of Living Single. The same goes with the recent legal drama
show, Partner Track, which revolves around a young Asian-American woman who
works her way out to make a mark in one of the top law firms in New York City.
Although the six-member element is missing here, the storyline is mostly the
same.



Hence the fact that Living Single acts as a source of inspiration for many
sitcoms for the latest generation holds very true. In fact, in an interview,
Queen Latifah on Andy Cohen talked about how Friends was originally derived from
this legendary black show. According to her, the executives of NBC ripped off
Friends for the former, which laid a kind of template for most other series that
followed or are yet to come.
