In Living Color Coming To Dvd!!!
 

TVSHOWSONDVD reports that the Fox Skit show starring Jim Carey, The Wayans Bros and many others is finally coming to DVD in 2004 sometime. Great News!!!

Now where's Mad TV?

"In Living Color" -- not Living In Color

'Bout damn time. I've been waiting for this one for what seems like forever. Now when The State gets it's proper release I will be a very happy man. :thumbsup:

Great news!

I would love to hear some commentaries from Keenan.

Also, I hope they leave in the musical acts at the ends of the shows.

Also, if this is a "complete season" release (and not some edited best-of compilation), I hope they do not replace the series logo on the first six shows like they did for reruns (on original Fox airing, the first six shows had a different logo, which was modified for later shows and was changed for Fox repeats, though I haven't seen any later non-Fox repeats).

Minor point I know, but that is how they were originally presented, and I feel the original presentation should be preserved.

If this isn't some sort of compilation, I will be surprised. I was afraid a good deal of the topical humour would have been perceived as "too dated" for today's audience. Those of us who were there will get it, but how many teenagers will understand all the Clarence Thomas jokes (for instance)?

Interesting comment about the musical numbers. I can imagine some of those would be hard to clear. I think guest music artists were rare (if there were any at all) during the first season, and I don't think they were ever used at the end of the show that early in the run. The only special music I remember from the first year was on those Fly Girl dance routines in the middle of the show.

This IS great news.... as long as it's in season sets. I, no way, no how, will be purchasing a 'best of' set, or DVD's that are classified by an 'actors best on In Living Color', such as the Saturday Night Live DVD's. In Living Color is classic skit television and some of the characters from that show, for those of us now who remember the show before the next generation comes along, are absolutely unforgettable. Fire Marshall Bill, Homey The Clown. FOX should not do with this show what they first did with 'Married With Children' and 'test' the field with a 'best of' DVD. Because I know quite a few people who would definitely invest their money in a season set of this show.

And as far as Mad TV.... meh.

excellent!

that's good news, indeed. some of the funniest skits i've ever seen on that show. love that cast. two snaps up and a swirl!

Could this be timed to coincide with the(supposedly)upcoming Homie the Clown movie?

Haha, are you serious?

Homie the clown was my favorite part about In Living Color when it was on tv, because I was in the 4th grade and didn't really get anything else except Handyman. And I didn't think that sketch was very nice. -ohbfrank-

Dyslexia is hysterical.

I was afraid "Living in Color" was, perhaps, a British show that I have never heard of. I'm glad to hear that it is, in fact, In Living Color.

I can't imagine this would be a complete season set, but we can hope!

When I read the threads in this forum, I thought to myself, "Oh man, In Living Color is coming out!" and then I saw that it said "Living In Color" and I thought to myself, "Oh great, some bizarre cult movie that is liked by three people :rolleyes:."

Thanks for screwing with my head :).

My bad i feel stupid i can't believe I wrote Living In Color rather then the correct In Living Color. It was late last night.

My fav In Living Colour Skit was the one where they did a spoof of the Aresenio Hall Show with Arsenio talking to Mayor Marion Barry. Oh man that is so funny. Jim Carey was brilliant on that show though Fire Marshall Bill is so hillarious.

i'll buy this if it's priced right

"FOX should not do with this show what they first did with 'Married With Children' and 'test' the field with a 'best of' DVD."

Columbia released the MWC compilations. The only comps that Fox has done (that I know of) are The Simpsons Halloween and upcoming Christmas discs.

how about Jim Carrey's dysfunctional old man..."pork & beans!!!!" or any David Grier character.

From TVShowsOnDVD.com:

My fav skit was the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood skit with Carrey. The one with him in the video store was the best.

awesome!

Great news! I have most "off air" on VHS, but of course, I rarely watch them anymore.

I remember a skit wher they spoofed Billy Dee Williams and his Malt Liquor commercials that was only shown once. Apparently it was banned or something, and dropped from re-runs. Could be a rumor, but if true, I hope they will see fit to include now.

I've been waiting for this...now all I need is Martin and I'll be happy (I also wouldn't be mad if they sped up the Simpsons schedule as well). As for my favorite skit, I really thought that Keenan's "Frenchy" was hillarious.

DVDPlanet has some extra features listed:

• Commentaries on Select Episodes
• "Back in Step with the Fly Girls" Featurette
• HBO Comedy Festival 2001

The only question is will J Lo clear those to be shown nowadays? ;)

I'm amazed. Full Season + Commentaries... Excellent.
