Added DiffLines:

* EditedForSyndication: The Netflix release takes out performances by guest stars and changes some background music. This was painfully obvious during the season 4 episode "The Prom," where a reference to Music/{{TLC}}'s "No Scrubs" is orphaned and the rest of the scene where Silk performs "Please Don't Go" was ''[[ClumsyCopyrightCensorship very]]'' [[ClumsyCopyrightCensorship butchered and disorienting]] because the episode's plot developed during their performance.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Brandy and costar Countess Vaughn, who played her best friend Kim, reportedly did not get along. There were stories about how Vaughn would be the subject of numerous fat jokes that everyone except her were aware would be in the script and how Brandy, who even as a teenager, still would have a say over what was to be said, but did nothing out of jealousy over her popularity. There were also stories that Brandy and her onscreen stepmother, Sheryl Lee Ralph, did not get along, which were more or less confirmed when the former apologized to the latter years after the series ended.



* The [[TheVerse Moeshaverse]] is actually a lot more extensive than one might think. Moesha had an episode where Series/{{Girlfriends}} regular Maya Wilkes appeared, tying it into that series' universe. Not only that, but [[Series/TheGame2006 The Game]] is a spinoff of Girlfriends, which basically means that this show's verse has survived all the way into 2015.
