There was absolutely nothing sacred, including Martin Luther King Day and bonfires on black people's lawns in Arizona. How could there be, with a restaurant called Chez Whitey, a physically challenged superhero, Handiman, and two gay reviewers, Blane Edwards (Damon Wayans) and Anton Merriwether (David Alan Grier) who covered film, TV, and vacations where they kept returning to Greece. "In Living Color" was a series of skits with no boundaries. Most of the people who participated in this show are still working as actors, writers, directors, and/or producers. Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier, Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Ann Inaba, Rosie Perez, Chris Rock, Molly Shannon, Alexandra Wentworth, Kelly Coffield, not to mention the Wayans family, all had early starts here. "In Living Color" was a training ground and launching pad for many young people, and with good reason - it was a terrific show. "In Living Color" has always been great to watch. The material has gotten more crude(to get shock value) than anything else.OK, I'm not saying I don't like crude humor (I loved Kingpin and Mary), but somehow either its timing was off or there was too much of it, almost like it was forced.

Not sure what happened to Keenan, but I thought Scary Movie sucked. Though I feel I may have outgrew this type of humor, it was nonetheless the funniest thing ever to watch for me, as a 10-year old! Who could forget Carrey as the Firemarshall, a female bodybuilder, or the dorky schoolkid named Parnell Damon Wayans as Homie the Clown, Men on Film, 'Mo Money(the thieves w/their own TV show), and the homeless dude who carries a pickle jar as a toilet and uses big words to sound smart! What about the gossip queen, who always ends with something like."so you 'aint heard nothing from me." The 3 best: Firemarshall Bill, Men on Film, and Homie the Clown. This show was guaranteed to make you laugh from beginning to end.
