"In Living Color: Season 5"
Reviewer:
Kaya Savas
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Genre: TV-Series
Release:
April 11, 2006
Special Features: None
Review:

The final season of the edgy comedy sketch show is released. In Living Color is a show that raised the bar in terms of what could or couldn't be said on primetime television. Keenen Ivory Wayans started the show back in 1990 along with some of the other Wayans siblings. Today we have shows like Chappelle's Show and Mind Of Mencia that deal with the topic of race and stereotypes every episode, and are considered edgy. In Living Color brought that kind of entertainment to televisions during early 90's America. You can also credit In Living Color as a launching pad for some of today's most successful comedians such as Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier, and the Wayans brothers. Although, many fans and critics claim that this final season didn't go out with a bang that most shows go out with. Many attribute this lack of quality to the departure of the Wayans, who decided to leave the show. However fans of the show should be pleased no matter what because season five delivers the same kind of entertainment you would expect from the show. ---

Image & Sound:

When you deal with classic television shows on DVD there isn't high expectations when it comes to picture quality. All 26 episodes are presented in the original 4:3 aspect ratio. Picture quality looks as good as if you were watching it on television. As for sound, you get a Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track with optional English or Spanish subtitles. The sound does what it needs to do, you don't need 5.1 for a sketch comedy show. ---

Special Features: Unfortunately for fans of the show there are no special features, which is disappointing considering this is the final season. It would have been nice to see some interviews with the cast reflecting back on the experience.

Final Words:

A hilarious comedy sketch show comes to its conclusion and fans now have the chance to complete their collections. It's a great show that showcases a lot of talented comedians in their early days, but it's a shame that there aren't any special features.
