Three generations of black-centric sketch shows (http://splitsider.com/2012/01/9-sketch-comedy-tv-shows-from-the-90s-that-we%E2%80%99ve-mostly-forgotten-about/) with many legendary quotes between them. (depending on who you ask). One was cut down in its prime, one is just starting to pick up steam, and another went a little longer than it should've.

Which is your favorite (http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/517344/living-color-chappelles-show-peele)?

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have acknowledged the influence "Chappelle's Show" had on their Comedy Central show, but how similar are the two shows?

I voted ILC, it's the only one I watched regularly. Have you seen Friends of the People that runs on truTV? It's a sketch show that reminds me a good bit of ILC down to having brothers in the cast. They mix sketches with "filmed on the streets" segments.

I also voted for ILC. I never missed it. I can see how some of the skits "would" be offensive to some now, like Men on Films, The Homeboy Shopping Network, and I Love Laquita (an interracial spoof of I Love Lucy) but they still hold up and they're still funny after multiple viewings. Plus, how can you not love Jim Carrey's Vanilla Ice parody?

I went for Chappelle's Show...don't get me wrong, ILC is a good sketch show, especially since it has Jim Carrey in it. Nut Dave Chappelle took the sketch show to a new degree....
