Over the years I had forgotten just how extremely talented these actors were. The "Fly Girls" are very attractive as well as very talented. I can't remember when I laughed so hard!! Great comedy!!!
Great collection! 4 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed the show when I was younger and ordered it out of nostalgia.
For the era, the comedy was new and very edgy. Some great young talent was introduced such as Jim Carrey (billed as James Carrey), Jamie Foxx, almost the entire Wayons family, and David Alan Grier.
The down side is that, while the attitudes towards some of the subject matter is pretty over-the-top (depending on one's point of view) and clearly are sarcastic, there is the constant referral to "The Man" as being the sterotyped rich white person who oppressed the minorities on the show. For very impressionable youths of the time, that message got a weekly dose of reinforcement. Having grown up as a poor white kid, "The Man" put everyone down, and not just confined to minorities.
Enjoy it for the visual gags and skits as a whole.

HEY MON, ME HOME!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

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!
Editorial Review:
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.

Loved It!!!!! 4 out of 5 stars.

This dvd was art! Before viewing this, I thought I would never see In Livin COlor again! Altohugh this season lost Kim Coles, Jaime Fox did not join yet, and they omitted some skits like Vanilla Ice parody, it has so many heavy weights:
1. Men On Film ("Two snaps, a twist and a kiss! Stop, can't touch this" - lol)
2. All the Frenchie's ("I'm slick, I'm hip, and all the woman love my ____, gotcha!!")
3. All The Hey Mons ("ONE JOB!!!! GET UP YOU LAZY HEIFER, YOU FINE!")
4. All the Homey The Clowns especially Homey Meets Sally ("White Girl's Off Beat" - after the homey love song)
5. The Snack 'N Shack with the orthodontists("Don't make mama have to spank you!")
6. Lil' Miss Trouble and Parnell
7. Caulhoun Tubbs funeral home ("Fatback had no life insurance. You gonna loose the house and car. - aaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! thank you")
8. The skit with the gay choregrapher at the football field ("I'm gonna be your mother, father, sister and your brother")
9. Miss Black USA ("I'm a woman, all woman!")
10. The sexy fly girls, especially the fine Lisa.
11. Cephus & Reesie (one of the funniest Ashford and Simpson like skits. I really loved the Last Request skit of C&R)
12. Fire Marshall Bill (he got funnier on season 3)
13. That poor actress that taught that class ("OUTTA MY WAY, BITCH!!")
14. I Love Laquita with Billy Dee Williams (Williams tried so hard to dance in the closing credits, but the old guy just did push ups)
15. Handi Man sketches
16. Homeboy Shoppin' Network ("I'm bout to go crazy!! Don't do that homeboy!! I'm sorry folks bu that was only a display item!" - Ghetto Fabulous!)
17. All the Anton sketches
Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans, and T'kea Knight were the main highlights of the season as well as the series (before Jaimee came in). A must have show although they false advertised the buyers by not having the complete episodes. Thats why it gets 4 stars instead of 5! Overall, I love it!! Watch out for season 3 and 4 dvds because you will NOT get as much as a break as you did with this season and season 1.

Sad over cut episodes. 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
My husband and I have purchased four out of the five seasons but we didn't know until later that many of our favorite skits are missing! The one that we miss the most is the parody of Michael Jackson's Black Or White, "Tell Me If I'm Black Or White". What a disappointment. We won't be purchasing the fifth season.
Too many skits are missing... 2 out of 5 stars.

Since this is not a complete set, I'm going to send it back to Fox. It's a sad, sad situation when skits that made the show famous are removed. There is at least one skit missing per episode and now I'm afraid they will be lost forever. One of my favorites of all time is gone - "Chrystal Waters".
Editorial Review:
It’s triple the fun with Season Three of TV’s most outrageous sketch show, In Living Color. With its off-the-wall humor and in-your-face look at celebrities and pop culture, Keenen Ivory Wayan’s creation has a comic boldness all its own. The new season introduces Jamie Foxx to an already outstanding cast. The Fly Girls return with a sexy newcomer named Jennifer Lopez. And the edgy writing is back with a vengeance. This 3-disc Collector’s Edition features all 30 hilarious Season Three episodes—and it’s gonna rock your world!

This is where it began to go downhill :-l 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
This is where I first 'met' and fell in love with Jamie Foxx. We used to get this show in NZ and I'd kick everyone out of the room so I could watch it in peace. I think it started lacking something here and don't find this nearly half as funny as the other seasons. This is the last season for the Wayons' and I think they got out while the going was somewhat good.
I'd recomend this dvd to fans of the show only; if you are new to ILC, then definately don't start here - go back to the beginning because those first couple of seasons were the absolute best (see my review for season 1).
Editorial Review:
Nonstop laughs are in the house with Season Four of In Living Color on DVD! No celebrity was too sacred and no current event was too controversial for this Emmy-winning hit show that pushed the boundaries of sketch comedy—with hilarious results. So join the talented Wayans family (including new cast member Marlon Wayans), along with Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier, Jamie Foxx and the super-sexy fly girls for a howling good time with this 3-disc Collector's Edition, featuring all 33 hilarious Season Four episodes!

Very good but I was disappointed to find out
the "Droop There it is" song is not on any of
the discs. I bought Season 5 especially to
have that hilarious song as I am getting older.
I wonder why they cut it out of this.
Editorial Review:
The final season of In Living Color was as outrageous as the first four, having thrust its courageous cast into stardom, especially Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier, Chris Rock and Jim Carrey. As usual, nothing was sacred and no public figure was safe, as the hilarious sketches challenged censors and viewers with piercing parody. So bid a fond farewell to one of the freshest, funniest sketch shows of all time with this this 3-disc Collector's Edition, featuring all 26 hilarious Season Five episodes.

Editorial Review:
Unlike the original Saturday Night Live cast, the In Living Color ensemble was definitely ready for prime time. But, was prime time ready for In Living Color? This subversively funny 1990 sketch-comedy series boldly went where SNL feared to tread, particularly in matters of race relations and cultural stereotypes. Series creator Keenen Ivory Wayans was hot after his hilarious blaxploitation spoof, I'm Gonna Git Ya Sucka. But In Living Color was hotter. According to a "Looking Back" segment included in this three-disc set, it took him a year to sell the pilot. He fronted a young, gifted, and mostly black cast, including David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Damon Wayans, Kim Wayans, and T'Keyah "Crystal" Keyman. "James" Carrey and Kelly Coffield were the white Garret Morrises.
