The popular sketch comedy from the 1990s, "In Living Color" is coming back for two episodes to celebrate Fox's 25th anniversary in 2012.
It was announced recently that Keenen Ivory Wayans--the show's co-creator/executive producer--will return to his hosting duties for the special shows.
I have fond memories of watching the show as a young kid. I remember when it changed from weekends to weeknights and all of the music video parodies. One of my favorite sketches was the singing duo called "Cephus and Reesie" that was apparently based on Ashford and Simpson.
I'm just not sure if that kind of show can work some 20 years later.
Fox just had a bad experience with Affion Crockett's "In The Flow". To add to that, fans would probably benefit more from a MAD TV reunion than from a show that predated the iPod generation.
We shall see.
It is gonna take one heck of a PR campaign with my generation (25 to 45) to get us sold on the idea of reviving the show.
