”A Different World”, which was a spin-off of ”The Cosby Show, ” was centered around Denise Huxtable’s character while she attended Hillman College, a fictional HBCU.

Cosby created and executive produced the show and even brought in some characters from School Daze like Jasmine Guy who played Whitley Gilbert.
