In Living Color DVD - Season 5
IN LIVING COLOR, the show that launched the careers of the Wayans Brothers, Jamie Foxx, and Jim Carrey, 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 Wayans 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 Jamie Foxx's outrageous "I'm ret' t' go" character Wanda.
Jim Carrey's Fire Marshall Bill is the recognizable ancestor of Ace Ventura. This collection includes all the episodes from the fifth season.
In Living Color DVD - Season 4
A turning point in mainstream television, IN LIVING COLOR was that rare comedy series whose humor appealed to--and made fun of--a very diverse audience. A sketch comedy show with one of the most talented ensemble casts in TV history, it was created by Keenan Ivory Wayans, and starred Keenan, his brothers Shawn, Marlon, and Damon, and their sister, Kim. This was also the show that jump-started the careers of many notables, including Jennifer Lopez, who was one of the dancers, and cast members Jim Carrey (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND), David Alan Grier (BEWITCHED), and Jamie Foxx (COLLATERAL). Popular recurring characters included Damon Wayans's Homey D. Clown, a criminal clown from the ghetto, and Jim Carrey's Firemarshall Bill, whose maniacal laugh became common parlance
among fans. In the fourth season, the show took on contemporary issues, such as a spoof of Bill Clinton and a skit about gays in the military.
In Living Color DVD - Season 3
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."
