What Parents Need to Know
About In Living Color
Parents need to know that the humor in this groundbreaking sketch series is edgy and smart and was in many ways ahead of its time when it debuted in the early 1990s -- but today's teens (and younger children, especially) probably won't appreciate it from that perspective. They're more likely to latch on to the outrageousness of the show's characters and memorable catch phrases like "I'm gon' rock yo world," "Homey don't play that!" and "Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money!" Another downside? Kids could inadvertently add words like "honky" and "breasteses" to their budding vocabularies.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fine line between being funny and being offensive. When it comes to making a joke, why are some stereotypes fair game while others are considered taboo? Does making light of racism and ethnic stereotypes make it easier for people to discuss their differences or merely reinforce longstanding prejudices? Would an all-black audience view this show any differently than a more general audience would? Why or why not? And how does the show compare to similar series like Saturday Night Live and MADtv?

I love this show!
This show is hilarious. Yes there is some bad content like Homey The Clown being an ex-con and Men On Film's anti-gay humor. Also the Fly Girls have sexy outfits, and there are words like "honky" or "breasteses" that young kids shouldn't hear. However, this show has bite. I mean, it made Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez famous! And it's by the Wayans family, so it's funny!
