In Living Color was a sketch comedy show that aired from 1990 to 1994 on FOX. The show was created by Keenen Ivory Wayans and showcased a diverse cast of comedians and performers including David Alan Grier, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Alexandra Wentworth, Kim Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Tommy Davidson, Kelly Coffield Park, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx, Carrie Ann Inaba, Chris Rock, Kim Coles, Steve Park, and Marlon Wayans.

The show was known for its edgy humor and social commentary, tackling topics such as race, class, and politics. The sketches ranged from musical parodies and game show spoofs to political satire and pop culture send-ups. The show also featured a series of memorable recurring characters, like Homey D. Clown, Men on Film, and Fire Marshal Bill.

One of the distinguishing aspects of In Living Color was its willingness to tackle controversial and taboo subjects. The show was not afraid to make fun of celebrities, politicians, and institutions, and frequently used humor to expose underlying social issues and injustices.

The cast of In Living Color was known for their comedic talent and versatility. Jim Carrey, in particular, became a breakout star on the show with his wacky characters and physical comedy. Jennifer Lopez, then a struggling dancer, was one of the show's "Fly Girls," performing dance numbers during commercial breaks.

In addition to its humor, In Living Color also had a significant impact on popular culture, helping to launch the careers of several notable comedians and performers. The show became known for its catchphrases and memorable skits, and its influence can be seen in later comedy shows like Chappelle's Show and Key and Peele.

Despite its critical and commercial success, In Living Color faced criticism and controversy during its run. Some critics accused the show of promoting negative stereotypes and perpetuating racial tensions. Others felt that the show was too political and divisive, and that it was unfair in its treatment of certain groups.

Overall, In Living Color was a groundbreaking show that pushed the boundaries of comedy and challenged cultural norms. Its impact can still be felt in the world of comedy and entertainment today, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations of performers and creators.

In Living Color is a series that is currently running and has 5 seasons (122 episodes). The series first aired on April 15, 1990.
