Two snaps up for In living Color on DVD! This is the first season of the comedy that crossed every line with their raunchy, crude humor and introduced a new generation of talent including Jim Carrey, The Wayans and many more. See classic sketches Men on Film and Homey the Clown on this 3-disc set that is loaded with behind the scenes extras.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Gift for friend Comment: I got this as a gift for a friend and she loves it. In Living Color is one of the truly groundbreaking TV shows in the history of TV and now I want to get the first season for myself.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Too funny for words! Comment: Although Handiman, Wanda, Firemarshall Bill and Head detective aren't part of this series, it is HILARIOUS! The Hammer skit w/Tommy Davidson still makes me laugh so hard, I get sore ribs. There is some Homie, Men of Film, Anton the bum and the neighborhood gossip plus lots of parodies of stars/singers and the Headleys (Oops and the Buttheads)...all very funny and even cracked my 16 yr. old grandson up. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: UNDERRATED? Comment: I believe this show doesn't get the credit it deserves. as everyone who hasn't been in a coma for the past 15 years knows, this is where jim carey got his start, along with fox, wayans brothers, the list goes on. ground breaking comedy, which paved the way for the chappelle show [there was no comedy central when in living color hit the airwaves] in my opinion in living color ranks right up there with saturday night live and kids in the hall, as the best sketch comedy ever. the only thing that puzzles me is that david alan grier isn't a huge star today. great show, ahead of it's time.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not so funny. Comment: The show is not so funny it repeats itself and it has too much music, dancing and intros for my favour. Watch instead mad t.v. or the chapelle show.
Customer Rating:      Summary: HEY MON, ME HOME!!!!!!! Comment: This is more like it!! Although this was only the begining, it was still a proper season for In Living Color Series. Like what was said in one of the reviews for season 4 (Keenan slowly coming out in an expensive suit, no hair, talking serious to the audience and you don't see him anymore for the series), this is the opposite. Keenan was always fired up with starting the show and introducing all the fine fly girls (each of 13 episodes) and in this season, they kept the music video parody sketches and the fly girls' dance music to original songs (3Rd Base and Kid N Play). For the begining, there were no Funky Finger Productions, no Frenchie, no Prison Cable Network, no Fire Marshall Bill, no Principle Macalfee, no Handi Man, no Head Detective, and only one Benita Butrell & Homey The Clown. The show still grew alone with the following sketches that had me screaming like a "White lady in church" when I first saw them in 1990 (and still screaming today):
1. Hey Mon Airlines
2. Cookin' With Salt N Pepa
3. Young Don King Sketch
4. Whitney Houston Rhythmless Nation
5. Benita Butrell (although one sketch)
6. The only Homey The Clown sketch on that season
7. Men On Film, Books, and Art (Hated It!!! The unheard of Zorro Snap in Z formation!!! - LOL - a total scream)
8. Lil' Miss Trouble
9. I Love Laquita
10. The Equity Card Commercial (Kiss My Butt Bitch!! Approve My Credit!! - I was dying on the floor)
11. Milli Vanilli sketch (DON"T FORGET OUR NUMBA!!!" - LMAO on the floor)
12. All Homeboy Shopping Network Sketches (MO MONEY, MO MONEY!)
13. Lil' Magic
14. MC Hammer sketch (too funny!!)
15. Oprah sketch
16. Tracy Chapman sketch (I WRITE A FAST SONG!! LOOK OUT DA WINDOW AND SEE WHATS GOIN ON!!!!)
17. Calhon Tubbs (WROTE A SONG BOUT IT, LIKE TO HEAR IT, HEAR IT GO!! - He'll be better next season. I like him better messing up events like funerals, elections, and kids' birthday parties. AAAAHAAAAAAAAA...Thank You berry much!!)
18. Anton the Wino
19. Definitly Little Richard's Play House (Keenan was very good playing Little Richard, but I think Jaime Fox was better in season 4's sketch Dirty Dick)
All the cast members (including Kim Coles - a shame she had a fight with the producers and was kicked off the show) should be proud of themselves for this season because it would show that the next two seasons would get better!! These are still a laugh today. They don't edit anything here I dont' think, besides that Bolt 45 sketch that someone in previous review spotted (I don't really remember that one too well). Oh Well. Get this season, and avoid buying seasons 3 and 4 because they do heavy editing on these dvds that is not worth your money because In Living Color comes on BET and they do not cut out any sketches or replace actual songs with generic hip hop music or techno crap. If you just tape them (seasons 3 and 4), you will save a total of about 70 something dollars (a whole lot of more saved plus you get more stuff!
