In episode 5, Clifford and Thomas discuss the second tv series of the podcast season: A Different World. Both hosts share the struggle in finding substance and continuity in the first season. Is it the acting or the missed opportunities to go deeper into social conversations that make the first season feel like a lull? Or is a different world supposed to feel wholly other than what you're used to in life and television?

A Different World is an American sitcom (and a spin-off of The Cosby Show) television series that aired for six seasons on NBC from September 24, 1987 to July 9, 1993. Season one focuses on Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and the life of students at Hillman College, a fictional historically Black college in Virginia.
