Summary: You can do what you want to do...in living color
Review: When I first bought this DVD, there were two types of people. Those who looked at it and said "What's this?" and those who looked at it and with a wild gleam in their eyes said "Where the hell did you find this?!" You either loved In Living Color or you'd never heard of it before.

ILC was so ahead of its time with humor, it's political incorrectness (now typical of famous comedians like Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, etc.) and all around innovativeness. It also introduced us to some of the funniest men in TV/movies (Damon Wayans, who stole every skit he was in, David Alan Grier and James "Jim" Carrey). Later on it would also feature Jamiee Foxx and Chris Rock. But that was in the later post-Wayans years when the show sucked.

ILC was brillaint and for anyone who watched the show (and therefore loved the show) Seasons 1, and the even funnier Season 2 are a must-have. Oh, and there's a skit in Season 1 where a little black girl is talking about her wish-list for the future and one of the things on the list is hoping that Nelson Mandela is freed from jail. Wow. Yeah, this is old school and things have changed but good humor never goes out of style. The outfits of the flygirls though, that does. Yikes!

Review: HAHAHAHA....In Living Color rules all of the sketch comedy shows. All of the cast members are funny (unlike the Saturday Night Live casts now (2004) which are fakes) My personal favorite is David Alan Grier, Jim Carey and Jamie Fox which doesn't appear until the second season. This show is a classic, worth seeing over and over and over and over....

Summary: Excellent 1st DVD! Funny! Ahead of its time!
Review: I thought that they did a good job with this first DVD set of In Living Color. Where I live, the DVDs sold out the very first week! There was a huge demand for it! When you think that most of the people on this show are still active on TV and movies, such as the Wayans brothers, you can point to this show. Jim Carrey can owe his mega success and those $100 million blockbuster movies he's had in the '90s to this show. Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier, Marlon Wayans, Keenan Ivory, Jennifer Lopez being one of the Fly Girl dancers, Carrey, Tommy Davidson--can I stop now? They got away with a lot of stuff with the skits, Homey the Clown, Men on Film, the blind man singing those short blues songs with his high falsetto at the end, Jim Carrey's funny Fireman skit and so much more! Had me laughing every Sunday for four years or so! Probably inspired Mad TV, the wilder and currently popular Dave Chappelle show and convinced Saturday Night Live to do better shows now. Tommy Davidson's rendition of MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This video is so laugh out hard funny, even he can't keep his baggy pants on! And proved how huge Hammer was in music in 1990--no one could touch him! Ahead of its time, and the material is still strong and fresh today! This is going to be a huge DVD seller for years to come! People will get 50 to 60 more copies of it for their friends because it is so, so funny!!!!!!

Summary: Two snaps up!
Review: Like many other reviewers, this show takes me back to my early teenage years, when everyone would come to school Monday morning doing their best "Homey don't play dat!" (or whatever was the funniest catch phrase the night before). All of the classics are here, but to me Damon Wayans totally stole the show with his original characters like Blaine from Men on..., Anton the homeless guy, Whiz from the Homeboy Shopping Network, Homey D. Clown and his dead-on impressions of Richard Pryor and Louis Farrakan. The rest of the cast was funny too. I'm a big fan of the original characters created on the show like Benita ("I ain't one to gossip..."), the "You Go Girl!" show and the made-up series of Famous Blacks in History (like the guy who invented self-service gas "git it yo damn self"). But their parodies of celebrities were hilarious too, Sugar Ray Leonard (Tommy Davidons), Ted Turner and Chuck Woolery (Jim Carrey) and Oprah and Grace Jones (Kim Wayans) were among the best.
The special features are practically non-existant this season, hopefully future releases will be better. Truly a must-have set for the fan though!
