I can't help but be reminded of being in elementary school, sleeping over at a friend's house, and we had the TV on Star Search. Ed McMahon asked this little white girl what she wanted to do when she was older, and she replied, 'I want to be a Fly Girl on the TV show In Living Color'.

Why I remember that, I'll never know.

Will Jim Carrey come back so some of the Wayans funny can rub off on him again and put him back on track?

So will the cast be mainly nephews and nieces instead of siblings?

I hear it was Wayans' idea to revive the popular sketch comedy series with a new cast.

Isn't a new cast kind of assumed, 15 years later? Although, other than Foxx and Carrey, I'm sure any of the other cast members would take just about any TV paycheck.

I bet Token White Chick would come back for cheap.

They're rebooting a show that hit at just the right time to make the most of a short run and, looking back on it, is more of a time capsule than a transcendent hit?

I'll be expecting The Adventures of Pete and Pete back any day now.

/just because it's a time capsule doesn't mean it's not the greatest TV show ever
//but I'm talking about Pete and Pete

How come no one found it offensive that a show mostly starring black people had the word "color" in it? That couldn't have been a coincidence in naming.
 
2011-10-29 01:02:16 AM
it was around the same time as the "colors of benetton" ad. As well they were sued by the punk band "Living Color" and settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

This won't be funny.. Fox farks up everything.

SnakeMan: How come no one found it offensive that a show mostly starring black people had the word "color" in it? That couldn't have been a coincidence in naming.

I guess because after Keenan left, Jim Carrey was first billed (second billed previously to Keenan).

Citation for suit? IIRC, Living Colour (note the "u") were asked by Wayans for permission to use the name. Permission denied, so Wayans dropped the "u" from the name, with no bad blood.

Both names were a play on the slogan used by NBC in the 50's. (new window)

I predict it will be picked up as a series and Keenan will walk after 6 episodes due to battles with the censors.

Nah.

Parker Lewis wound up being caught by the NCIS guys for killing people, and slicing them up in the back of his van with his girlfriend's butcher tools.

shiat, don't you realize it's all been recycled for hundreds of years? your favorite shows of 3030 are just remakes of some bible story...

DeaH: Anybody here think that Damon Wayans didn't so much sire his son as clone him?

It took me a while to figure out that Damon Wayans wasn't aging really slowly, that was his identical looking son.

/Damon Jr. is hilarious on Happy Endings

I'd settle for a full series DVD release.
 
2011-10-29 06:52:02 AM
At least they are trying to bring back something that was once funny. In Living Color, its first couple of seasons, were totally hilarious.
 
2011-10-29 08:16:39 AM
If they can get some of the original cast (Tommy Davidson, David Allen Grier, and Damon Wayans are the three that really come to mind, because obviously Jim Carrey is off the table), it might not be that bad. Methinks they won't be able to do that for a "series," however. Maybe a couple shows.

THIS! Bring back Parker Lewis! Or at least put the original on DVD or something.

I hope that delightful "James Carrey" will come back to In Living Color. I wonder what he's been doing since then?

I'll give you a hint: Jeff Goldblum was a fly guy.

Wow. That was a really long trip for a lame reference.
