5.0 out of 5 stars Get it yo' damn self!, April 4, 2004

This review is from: In Living Color - Season 1 (DVD)

"In Living Color" was so fresh, energetic, and hilarious when it first hit the Fox airwaves that you wondered how it could possibly keep up that level of entertainment. Well, it couldn't, exactly, but those first few shows, and many moments during the rest of the season, were insanely funny and groundbreaking.

Like all good sketch comedy, "In Living Color" immediately set out to create its own collection of recurring crazies (rather than the current SNL-method of mostly relying on celeb impressions), and look at how many still resonate: Fire Marshal Bill, the Men on Film, Anton, Homey...and so on. The show's genius is that it went for laughs anywhere it could - it could be richly satirical or downright silly and scatalogical, often in the same sketch. It basically counted on the intelligence and variety of its audience in a way that we haven't seen since, except maybe with "The Daily Show." "In Living Color" was edgy to the point of discomfort sometimes, but we wanted that too - everything else felt saccharine and safe next to "ILC," and we were ready to push some boundaries.

Eventually "In Living Color" would degenerate into low-minded skits based on grotesque impressions, gross-outs, and cruelty. But for one brief shining moment - captured on this DVD set - we all wanted to live In Living Color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too long to wait for something so great!!!, March 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: In Living Color - Season 1 (DVD)

Wow, after all these years, the first season of In Living Color is being released on DVD. I'm so excited to see Men on Film/Football/Vacation, Homey D. Clown, and the rest of one of the greatest comedy shows of all time. It's where Jim Carrey got famous, and we all learned the best ways to insult someone's Mama. For anyone who loves to laugh for long periods of time, this is definitely a buy for you. Am I going to miss out on this set? I don't think so... Homey don't play dat...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Return, January 30, 2004

Nova (Detroit, Mi USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Living Color - Season 1 (DVD)

I remember the laughter more than anything, and until right now just memories and wishes for this progam to come home where it belongs, on DVD. There has been no sketch comedy since In Living Color that could even come close to matching it in orginality, content/material, or realness. Anyone who grew-up within any generation that would have allowed them to see it was a lucky one; television is not as good now as it was then, and bringing back what most would call the quintenssential comedy, it is obvious. I can not express the joy of knowing that I can finally own the greatest comedies to ever be displayed on a televison screen. I encourage everyone who is able to add this to there collection. it's like needing water, everyone should be thirty for this.
