In Living Color returning

Good grief! I remember watching the original!

Fox and Keenen Ivory Wayans are teaming up to present two half-hour specials that will reboot its 1990s sketch comedy series, In Living Color, the network announced Friday.

As the original series' creator and executive producer, Wayans will host and executive-produce the two specials, which will air sometime in Spring 2012. Fresh, young talent will be featured in the sketches, and special guests will come on for musical performances. Deadline reports that if the specials succeed, Fox will reboot In Living Color as a series next season.

In Living Color aired from 1990-1994 and featured most of the Wayans clan -- Keenen, Damon, Kim, Shawn, Marlon and Dwayne -- in regular roles or as extras. On the sketch comedy side, the show helped launch the careers of Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier and Jamie Foxx. The show also featured dancers known as the Fly Girls. Of them, Jennifer Lopez, Dancing With the Stars' Carrie Ann Inaba and actress Rosie Perez broke out to bigger and better things.

The series featured a few iconic sketch comedy characters that included Fire Marshall Bill (Carrey), Homey D. Clown (Damon Wayans) and the Men on Film (Damon Wayans, Grier), who coined the phrase, "Two snaps up!"

I really grew up on In Living Color, the Wayans bros and Jim Carrey are some of my fav commediens to this day, and i was introduced to them all thru this show. interested to see what this new one will be like

Might have to check this out.

I remember watching ALOT of the reruns when they were airing on FX.

it will be awful...it won;t make to the end of season 1,before it gets cancelled

Homey don't play dat game.

HA! Was just talking to buds last night.
We all grew up off of the show and I told them I watched an episode this or last year. It was terrible and not funny at all.
But I'm sure the newer one would have fresher jokes.

Don't know if it will be the same without some of the regulars like Jamie Fox and Jim Carrey... they most likely won't do it because they're busier with bigger things...

interesting, yet another classic heading back to the airwaves. me thinks tv execs are getting either desperate, nostalgic or both
