Nominated for 17 Emmys in its short four-year stint, In Living Color is widely considered the best skit comedy show since SNL. Created by the multitalented star Keenen Ivory Wayans (the eldest child from a large and talented family), the 30-minute TV show became an instant hit for emerging big network competitor FOX in the spring of 1990. Showcasing the talents of the Wayans family (especially blockbuster talent Damon Wayans), along with initial cast members David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Kim Coles, T'keyah "Crystal" Keymah, Kelly Coffield, and Jim Carrey (who would use the show as a springboard to smash hit movie career that would begin with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994), In Living Color quickly achieved the status of TV cult icon In Living Color (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Big Brother" in which Queen Latifah guest hosts and serves as the musical guest as well. This first episode also features the popular skit "Men on Films II" Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "Anton at the Recruiter" which features skits "Roseanne Sings America" and "Homey the Clown: When Homey Met Sally," and "Funky Productions" which features Jim Carrey in the sketch "Vera De Milo: Buffed, Beautiful, and Bitchin'" Below is a list of episodes included on the In Living Color (Season 2) DVD: Episode 14 (Big Brother) Air Date: 09-23-1990 Episode 15 (Anton at the Recruiter) Air Date: 09-30-1990 Episode 16 (Spike's Joint) Air Date: 10-07-1990 Episode 17 (Hour of Power) Air Date: 10-14-1990 Episode 18 (Miss Black Person USA) Air Date: 10-21-1990 Episode 19 (The Black Man's Guide to Understanding the Black Woman) Air Date: 10-28-1990 Episode 20 (Funky Finger Productions) Air Date: 11-04-1990 Episode 21 (Laquita Meets Billy Dee) Air Date: 11-11-1990 Episode 22 (Men on Vacation) Air Date: 11-18-1990 Episode 23 (Anton's Thanksgiving) Air Date: 11-25-1990 Episode 24 (Justice Legions of America) Air Date: 12-16-1990 Episode 25 (Veracosa) Air Date: 12-23-1990 Episode 26 (Johnny Abdul) Air Date: 01-13-1991 Episode 27 (Introducing Fire Marshal Bill) Air Date: 02-03-1991 Episode 28 (My Dark Conscience) Air Date: 02-10-1991 Episode 29 (Anton in the Burbs) Air Date: 02-17-1991 Episode 30 (PCN's Win, Lose, or Draw) Air Date: 02-24-1991 Episode 31 (Lil Magic's School Play) Air Date: 03-03-1991 Episode 32 (Hour of Power: Tag Team Evangelists) Air Date: 03-17-1991 Episode 33 (Super Fly) Air Date: 03-31-1991 Episode 34 (Anton at the Recruiter) Air Date: 04-14-1991 Episode 35 (Arsenio Hall of Justice) Air Date: 04-28-1991 Episode 36 (Compilations) Air Date: 05-05-1991 Episode 37 (Homey the Sellout: Part 1) Air Date: 05-12-1991 Episode 38 (Dickie Peterson: Cherub of Justice) Air Date: 08-11-1991 Episode 39 (Men on Vacation) Air Date: 09-01-1991
