Prepare to get fly again. Fox is resurrecting its groundbreaking sketch comedy series, In Living Color, the network announced on Friday evening.

The new reiteration consists of two half-hour specials scheduled to air in Spring of 2012, during Fox’s 25th anniversary celebration. If the specials are successful, In Living Color could be back as a regular series as early as Fall 2012.

This time around, Keenen Ivory Wayans, who created and starred on the original series in the early ’90s, will serve as host and executive producer.

In addition to featuring many of Wayans’ family members — Damon, Shawn, Kim and Marlon — the original In Living Color also helped launch the careers of Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier and Fly Girls Jennifer Lopez and Carrie Ann Inaba. The remake will feature a brand new cast of fresh faces, as well as musical performances by special guests.

It will be interesting to see how irreverent they will now that the pc thought police have gained strength. Will they still mock homosexuals and trannies, or will they just go for the easy joke against religion, conservatives, morality and the like. And if it turns out they have succumbed to the pc police and aren't making fun of everyone equally(you know, equality, what the pc activists "claim" they want), I'll pass.

Never a fan of the original, really, so I'll pass, regardless.

"In Living Color" Revival
By Josef Adalian
3/26/12

The limited revival of FOX's breakthrough sketch-comedy series "In Living Color" is starting to take shape.

Originally, there was talk that two specials could air as early as April, as part of the FOX 25 festivities. While casting has begun (unknown comics "LilRel" Howery and Jermaine Fowler have already landed gigs), rehearsals and preliminary production won't start until the first week of April.

FOX sources now say that while it's possible the two specials could still air this season, most likely in May, there's also now a chance their airdate will be pushed back until later in the year.
