On the last episode, as Khadijah and Scooter walked out of the apartment for the final time, the camera zoomed to the answering machine as the phone rang.

The show ended up being bumped to the fall schedule after the network pulled the plug on the Mystro Clark series "Rewind." The show with 13 taped episodes was cancelled prior to any airings over the summer.
With Martin Lawrence failing to show up for a meeting to discuss his show's proposed sixth season, the network decided to bring the show back for an initial 13 as a midseason replacement. Originally, this season was supposed to never happened as FOX planned to drop the show from the lineup in May 1997 (reported in the Hollywood Blurb of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Kyle and Max maintained an on-again/off-again relationship that was a constant storyline that began at the end of the first season and continued until the end of the series. Living in the apartment above are Overton Wakefield Jones, a friendly handyman who holds deep affection for Synclaire and Kyle Barker, a handsome stockbroker whose constant verbal sparring with Max does little to mask their obvious sexual attraction. Maxine "Max" Shaw, a sharp-tongued attorney and Khadijah's best friend, stops by frequently to share her unique insights and make sure the girls' refrigerator isn't overstocked. Khadijah James, a hard-working editor and publisher of the fictional urban independent monthly "Flavor", shares an apartment with her sweet but naïve cousin Synclaire (originally the role of Synclaire was to be played by British rapper, Monie Love, a long-time friend and music collaborator of Queen Latifah), an aspiring actress who works as Khadijah's receptionist and has an affinity for Troll dolls and her childhood friend Regine Hunter, an image-conscious boutique buyer who was in constant search of a well-to-do man to spend her life with, often referring to said potential man as her "Chocolate Ken" and later became a costume assistant for a soap opera called "Palo Alto" with a fondness for gossip and wigs. The series focuses on two different households in one brownstone (although, as the later seasons revealed, there are more apartments in the building): one shared by a trio of upward-mobile women and another shared by a pair of male friends who have known each other since they spent their youth in Cleveland, Ohio. "Living Single" centers on six Black twenty somethings consisting of four women and two men living in a brownstone in the heart of Brooklyn, New York.
In fact, these were the three highest rated series among Black households (in this respective order) for the 1996-1997 season. In contrast to the popularity of NBC's " Must See TV" on Thursday nights in the 1990s, many African-American viewers flocked to FOX's Thursday night line-up of Living Single, " New York Undercover", and " Martin".
