In Living Color is back. Deadline reports that FOX will be bringing back during the 2012 midseason. Star, Keenan Ivory Wayans will be the host and executive producer of the show that will return as 2 half-hour specials in other to celebrate FOX’s 25th anniversary. If these specials do well then FOX will reboot the show and bring it back as a regular series next fall with an all new cast and but also with some of the old cast coming back to guest star. The original In Living Color aired for 4 years from 1990 – 1994. I’ll admit I never really watched this show. I’ve just seen some reruns here and there and its pretty hilarious. I’m excited about this coming back because Keenan is one of the funnier Wayans brothers and there needs to be another sketch show on television besides Saturday Night Live.
I have mixed feelings about its return. I think it was great in its era, but I’d rather they just air the special episodes celebrating FOX, and then let it go. In Living Color was classic and so many people got their big breaks there (i.e., The Wayans, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carey), but I’m afraid I won’t be watching the second time around…
