Geoffrey Charles This program was originally billed as a sitcom, but it slowly evolved into a cross between "Battle of the Sexes" and a kiss and tell reality show like "Love Connection." Every episode contained sexual tension between the ex-lovers who continued to share the same apartment. Although the relationship was supposed to be history, jealousy and envy were the constant emotional darts hurled at one another. Each one secretly still loved the other and desired to resume the relationship but neither was willing to swallow their pride. Each episode involved one or the other trying to establish a new relationship with another party, only to experience passive interference from the ex-lover. Will was a sexy and handsome ladies man with nearly intolerable arrogance. Abby was a tall and beautiful woman, but almost "too sweet and innocent" to have thrived in a relationship with Will for the number of years they spent together. She was a bit whiny and played the victim card quite often. Will, however, was so stuck on himself that he was nauseating and too self-absorbed to notice her plight. His leap from Dwayne Wayne on "A Different World" to Will on "Abby" was challenging for his "good guy" image. The chemistry between the two main characters was so perfect that the show should have succeeded. Both lead characters are very talented and attractive actors who appeal to the opposite sex.

budikavlan This is a thoroughly forgettable sitcom. Sydney Tamiia Poitier (yes, his daughter) stars as the newly promoted producer of a sports news show. That setting and her semi-interesting living arrangements make up the "high-ish concept" of the show. Having recently broken up with her insensitive boyfriend, she now shares their apartment with him, as neither is willing to cede the space to the other. Poitier is lovely in an understated way, and believable as a actress, but her personality is too low-key for this kind of show. Kadeem Hardison, as her live-in ex, has completely left his "Different World" dweeb behind, and fares better. If the scripts were funnier, the otherwise pedestrian production would be acceptable, but each episode so far has contained at most a handful of mild laughs.
