  Juwanna Mann- Tommy Davidson & Kim Wayans
While Kim agrees with my assessment that the film has a "chick flick" flavor to it, she says it's much more than that.
She believes "…it's all about self respect" and this is one of the areas that I found intriguing with the film.
Kim aspires to develop her own TV sit-com in the near future and Tommy wants to be seen as a comedian with something worthwhile to say who happens to be fl, as compared to just a funny fl man.

 DVD Times - In Living Color - Season 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In Living Color was the brainchild of Keenen Ivory Wayans, the eldest sibling of a large and extremely talented family whose guidance toward his brothers and sisters would help shape his creation into something truly memorable, the likes of which had never been seen prior on US television.
Keenen Ivory Wayans has always been passionate about dealing with current world issues, states of affairs and how every man or woman is treated in the world today, no matter the colour of their skin.
Audiences fell in love with James Carrey and Damon Wayans (who, in my opinion is a comic genius but is sadly underused these days), both of whom would later go on to achieve massive success in their careers ahead.

Despite his success as a writer, director and producer, stand-up still is what Wayans does best, according to comedian and activist Buzz Nutley, who worked security detail at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles in the early '90s, when Wayans would drop in to hone his material.
Wayans specialized in over-the-top characters such as a wino, a gay film critic on "Men on Film," Homey the Clown and Handiman, the first physically challenged superhero.
Wayans' first film role was in "Beverly Hills Cop" as a banana salesman at the posh Beverly Palms Hotel.

 In Living Color - Season 2 DVD - Michael Weise Productions
Kim Wayans, the least talented of any of the Wayans family actors, saves some of her own grace in stunning, strong comical performances of Oprah, Grace Jones, Cephus (pronounced Cee Phee), Laquita (I love Laquita --mock up of "I Love Lucy") and Big Mama (the Snack Shack skits).
Wayans had now left the show he'd created and produced, to another production team, where as hence most of his family actors followed suit---and the network had to last-minute recast most of the original cast.
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).

An Oprah parody starring Kim Wayans perfectly captures the host's doe-eyed empathy and her explosive eating habits.
Wayans is also adept at gross-out comedy in "This Ol' Box," showcasing his scuzzy homeless character Anton.
Participation from Keenen Ivory Wayans could have provided further insight into the creation of the show, but since the Wayans family eventually left the series in protest of Fox's scheduling decisions, chances are that he is now distancing himself from the series.

It was smart for the producers to leave this little bit of a wardrobe malfunction in the final cut, since Wayans simply rolls with it and keeps the laughs coming.

 dOc DVD Review: In Living Color: Season Two (1990-1991)
It was the Fox network's fairly successful half-hour stab at urbanizing television sketch comedy, featuring a distinctly street feel to themes and overall approach, from its hip trendy music to the dancing Fly Girls to a noticeably harsher, more outrageous brand of humor.
In Living Color featured Jim Carrey (billed here as James Carrey) as a regular, and it is pretty safe to say he has eclipsed the earthly bounds of sketch television, and calling him the breakout of this series is something of an understatement.
Bass and Sheffield are interesting enough, and considering they don't have much time to talk at any one time the chance for boring downtime in kept to a minimum.
