    I just wanted to say.. I agree so much with you guys.. first of all .. it is now 2010 and I must say... I still miss In Living Color. It was fresh.. it was these fresh comedians take on things and with the little hints of reality that we all see.. on the streets and in our lives.. it was refreshing to laugh about that stuff. Is it Politically correct .. I am so FReakin tired of Politically Correct (PC) PC is for politicians. Its not real. Its not real life. We should all be accepting of each other but forget the being PC all the time..we need to be real.. we need to laugh at each other some and at ourselves but still be OK and realize basically life is just funny and its OK to laugh at those things we are wondering about in our heads.. that these comedians bring up.. we need to laugh while we can. We need more stuff like this. Unfortunately In Living Color is STILL fresh comedically. We really need some fresh new talent and views with a new show developed from a comedic point of view. Their way of presenting things in a fun and lite hearted and ACCEPTING but still poking fun way... and the style in which they did it.. its still much better than all the things being presented so far. Yes I liked MADTV for awhile...Sat. Night Live is not even funny anymore. Lets pick up some raw, breaking the "rules" (whatever they are.. who knows since its changing all the time) talent. And the fact that they were black.. some people mentioned that white people didn't want to watch it.. well they had preconceived notions about what it was. I think I actually did too (embarrassed here) but once I watched it IT was SO not about that. and it was AWESOME.

    You know bad comedy is like bad fish, you die screaming on the toilet.. and this is where "In Living Colour" comes in.. Sure it was fun when it first started, but now that none of them have careers anymore, other than Jim Carrey, tho his past few movies rotted. The jokes are timely for the early 90's, sadly most people want to forget them .. i do.. Anyhoo, if i want good black comedy.. I will watch the chapelle show.. 1990: 8/10 2005: 3/10Sadily the only thing I remember of it is his fire Marshall character.. Sad sad are the days of this show's life. I dunno what else to say. yup i am a playa hater..LOL

    I found that this show was very funny and that it was one of the best shows of the ninety's. Though, during the original air time, Jim Carrey started to do the Fire Marshall Bill skit almost every week and oddly. It became annoying. I watch two shows that the two of the former cast members are in. I just love Damon Wayans in My Wife and Kids, and Thats so raven is alright. The characters are moving on and they are finding new things that will make them even more famous. Though, I have not seen some of them since the show. Cari Ann, one of the fly girls, made an appearance on 'He's a Lady' as a choreographer. Keenan Ivory Wayans And SW1, also known as Shaun Wayans, were in White Ckicks, a nonstop comedy about two black guys dressing up as two white chicks. And, we all know that Jim Carrey has had his time of stardom and more. He is in a new movie, Limoney Snicket's A Series of Unfortonite Events.

    "In Living Color" gave a leg up to Jennifer Lopez (she was one of the show's dance troupe the Fly Girls); it gave Jim Carrey his first exposure on a hit TV show; and it also spilled the various members of the Wayans family onto the tube. So in a way, if it hadn't been for this sketch series we may not have had "Jenny From The Block," "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" or "My Wife and Kids." Thanks a LOT, Keenen Ivory Wayans.The show itself was funny at first, but the jokes wore thin and got cruder as it progressed; maybe this is taking it too personally, but I gave up on it after a sketch with Carrey and Kelly Coffield (the show's least talented cast member) as students, one of whom pretty much dies of an asthma attack... having had it in real life, I didn't find that funny at all. And as for the "Men On..." skits, the less said the better.Shame - "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" was really funny.
