Trivia
An unaired pilot episode was filmed with two different actresses portraying main characters. Leslie Silva and Christina Cox played Toni Childs and Lynn Searcy, respectively. Clips from the original pilot could be seen during commercials advertising the 2000-2001 lineup of shows to air on UPN Monday nights. By the time the show premiered, however, Jill Marie Jones had replaced Leslie Silva as Toni, Persia White had replaced Christina Cox as Lynn, and the original pilot never aired.

Quotes
Maya Wilkes: [Talking to Toni] Kiss is a noun and a verb, so you can either give my ass a kiss or kiss my ass!

It grew on me

This is the show that taught me to look at TV shows for what they are: writers' impressions of what life "somewhere" for "someone" is like. No, this show doesn't portray all of my personal experiences as a Black woman, but it also doesn't portray what I think my life is going to be like as an attorney, either.

If it's funny, then it's funny - and 'Girlfriends' is funny. Just because the stars are Black doesn't mean that it is necessarily there to represent the "Black" experience. Nor does it have to. No more double standard for me. I recommend this show to everyone - not just Black women.
