without jim carrey, itll be crap and forgotten about within days.
http://articles.cnn.com/2011-10-28/e...?_s=PM:SHOWBIZThe landmark sketch comedy series "In Living Color" -- which became famous in the early 1990s thanks to characters like clumsy Fire Marshal Bill and the dour Homey D. Clown -- has been revived nearly two decades after it last aired, the Fox network announced Friday.
An updated version of the program will air as "two half-hour specials in the spring of 2012," the network said in a statement. The exact dates of these shows have not been released.
Keenen Ivory Wayans, the original series' creator and executive producer of the coming edition, will host the new episodes. Except for him, these shows will feature a new cast of "fresh, young talent," according to Fox.
The show was a jumping-off point for several now mainstream performers like Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey, as well as Jennifer Lopez and "Dancing With the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba -- who both were part of the "Fly Girls," the show's dance troupe. It also was a home base for several members of the Wayans family -- Keenen, Damon, Kim, Marlon and Shawn.
The half-hour show aired between 1990 and 1994, during which time it was widely seen as groundbreaking for having a nearly all-black cast of comedians.
"The iconic series put a hip, edgy spin on popular culture and featured characters and sketches that became part of the American vernacular," the Fox release said.

Fresh, new cast
Fresh, they say
Who the cares? Keenen-Ivory, Damon, and Jim Carrey were the show. Now Keenen is old and Damon and Carrey have better to do.
He was James Carrey back then. also they had a victoria jackson rip off, she was funny sometimes. This will suck. Young black actors aren't as funny as they were in the early nineties. I still watch repeats of this show on cable some of it holds up some is boring.
They need to bring back House of Buggin'. Put it back on it's regurrrrrrrly schedule time.
These days no one would even consider Damon Wayans as Head Detective funny. I remember laughing til tears seeing him as what was basically a mr potato head. Course i was ten.
Homey won't play that.
This will get canceled after two or three episodes.
This..without the original cast, this show will suck.
Since they said that it is only two half hour specials, you don't get Psychic credit when no more are produced.
Bring back Martin.
