In Living Color Season 1
|
|
In 1990, comedian
Keenan Ivory Wayans ushered in a new brand of comedy with IN
LIVING COLOR. Taking his cue from legendary sketch-based
shows like SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and SCTV, Wayans injected
color into the formula and, in the process, helped to
forever change the face of television. With a boundlessly
talented cast--including Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, Damon
and Marlon Wayans, and Jim Carrey--IN LIVING COLOR exploded
into living rooms with one hilarious sketch after another.
This long overdue release contains every episode from the
show's acclaimed first season, giving a whole new legion of
viewers the opportunity to believe the hype for themselves. |

The
show that launched the careers of the Wayans Brothers, Jaimie
Foxx, and Jim Carrey, IN LIVING COLOR is sketch comedy at its
best. Infused with a ghetto sensibility, the show debuted with
an exceptionally talented cast and some hot choreography by
Rosie Perez for the Fly Girls. Keenan Ivory Wayan's was the
writer and creator of the series, consistently delivering
hilarious skits and developing recognizable character that
hold up remarkably well years later. These include Damon
Wayans and David Alan Grier's outrageously flaming "Men
on Film" and Damon's boozy "Homey da Clown," as
well as Jaimie Foxx's outrageous "I'm ret' t' go"
character Wanda. Jim Carrey's Fire Marshall Bill is the
recognizable ancestor to ACE VENTURA. Season two features a
guest appearance by Queen Latifah, spoofs on Oprah, Arsenio
Hall, and Vanilla Ice, and recurring favorites such as
"Snack n' Shack," "The Brothers Brothers,"
"Fire Marshall Bill," and "Funky Fingers
Productions," among many others. |

The third season of
the groundbreaking sketch comedy show, created by Keenan Ivory
Wayons and featuring a wildly talented cast, is now available
for home viewing. IN LIVING COLOR signalled a shift in the way
comedy was to be presented when it hit the airwaves in the
1990s. With a multicultural cast geared toward a genuinely
diverse audience, the irreverent jokes roasted everyone:
white, black, Asian, gay straight; no group was exempt. With
skits like "Men On Film," involving an effeminate
pair of movie critics, the convict clown "Homey D.
Clown," and the maniacally accident prone "Firemarshall
Bill," the show was uproariously funny in an way that had
never previously been seen. The series also kick-started the
careers of such unknowns as Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans, and
the group of dancers who performed between skits included
Jennifer Lopez; choreography was often provided by Rosie
Perez. This season includes such episodes as "Hour of
Power: Preachers On Trial," "Cousin Elsee,"
"Wanda On The Dating Game," and "Homeboy
Shopping Network." |
