Campus Show (A Different World in English) was an American television series which was broadcast from 1987 to 1993. The series followed the adventures of a group of black students at the fictitious University of Hillman. Campus Show was a spin-off of the television series The Cosby Show, in which the characters of Denise Huxable and Maggie Lauten were students in Hillman.
