Okay, I understand that it took FOX forever to take the X-Files off or to
ever end The Simpsons, but is bringing back another series from the 90s a
really a good idea? Isn't “In Living Color” a product of its time?
It should also be noted that Keenen Ivory Wayans will return as a producer. That seems odd when Wayans left the show
after the 3rd season. He
clashed with the FOX Network too many times, so he left. I am not sure how much FOX has changed over
the years.
The show lasted about 5 seasons from 1990 to 1994. I remember watching the first three seasons
and really enjoying the show. For many
people of my generation, the show seemed edgier than Saturday Night Live with a
more ethnically diverse cast. And to be
fair, a lot of good names came out of that series. (Jim Carrey
David Alan Grier Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez) Did I mention that Rosie Perez came out of
that series too?
However, looking back at the series today, it hasn’t age that well. It doesn’t stand up as much as SNL from that
era. Most of James “Jim” Carrey skits
haven’t aged well at all. I find that
interesting because everyone loved “that funny white guy” on the show.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t some memorable moments and skits that still
stand up today.
Homey D Clown is one of the funniest characters on the show.
