Best movie of this year hands down!

Strictly average movie

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

If you ask me, I think the show was underrated. "SNL" gets all the credit for being a great sketch comedy show, yet there are certain seasons (like the current one) where the writers seemed to have conjured up the sketches in their sleep. In the case of "In Living Color," the writing was always sharp. There are certain sketches that I don't find funny, like Jim Carrey as the female bodybuilder, but it's hard to make a show where "every" sketch is funny. I remember Tommy Davidson said the reason why the show turned out to be so great was because plain and simple, they worked so damn hard on it. Well, it absolutely shows. Throughout each season, the actors always seemed to give it their all, even if the sketches were weak. In a horribly PC society, it's refreshing to watch a show like this (luckily, I have Seasons 1-5 on DVD). A show like this couldn't be successful nowadays, because we live in a society where you can't say anything about anybody. Doesn't anybody know that political correctness is the enemy of comedy? What made the show so great was the writers' and actors' willingness to break boundaries and make fun of all these ethnic stereotypes, and do it in an intelligent and witty fashion. Though it wasn't one of the more popular sketches, one of my favorites was "The Dysfunctional Home Show" where Jim Carrey would play a drunken father. If you ask me, Carrey was the funniest when he was on this show. As far as his movies go, sometimes he's funny and sometimes he's just plain obnoxious (I can't, for the life of me, sit through either one of the "Ace Ventura" movies). In a sketch comedy show, his in-your-face comic style works. I also loved Damon Wayans as the homeless guy. I crack up so much every time I see that sketch. Of course, everyone on the show was great. I can't think of a weak link in the chain. I think one of the cool things about "ILC" was that despite its predominantly black cast, it was able to reach a universal audience. This isn't like some UPN sitcom. People of all races seem to enjoy it. I think that proves that there's no color when it comes to good comedy.

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 just got the DVD on this just thinking that this was going be the young Jim Carrey show. I got much more than that, I got much much more. Next to Mad TV, In Living Color is one of the best comedy skits shows in the world and Jim Carrey's antics are to die for. Like his Ted Turner impression and his karate instructor skit was so funny I thought my ribs would break. Not to mention the crazy antics of Tommy Davidson, Keenon Ivory Wayans, Kim Wayans and the rest of the colorful cast. This is a great show and I would suggest this to anyone who needs a good laugh.*** 1/2 out of ****

"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.
