The DARK Truth About In Living Color | Censorship, Why The Entire Wayans Family Left

Описание: American sketch comedy television series In Living Color was the definition of an overnight success. Premiering on Fox on April 15, 1990, the show immediately became a pop culture phenomenon when more than 22 million people watched that first episode. The fact that a predominantly Black and entirely irreverent variety show would propel the network to new heights was ironic given that most Black comedies of the time were respectable, family-friendly efforts. In Living Color tapped into the burgeoning hip-hop culture and delivered laughs with edgy sketches that made Saturday Night Live look outdated in comparison. The star status of the show would only last for so long though.  By season three, a negative snowball effect took over starting with creator and star Keenen Ivory Wayans getting tired of the network's meddling and censorship efforts. By the end of season four, the Wayans family was no longer involved, the quality suffered, and the show ended after five seasons on May 19, 1994.
