    A show like this could never air on television today. TV execs are too soft, and worried about being politically correct. Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels would have their panties in a bunch if a sketch like "Men on Films" aired. R.I.P. to the trill comedy shows of the 90s: Martin, Living Single, In Living Color, Wayans Bros., Steve Harvey Show, Jamie Foxx Show.

    Was about to state this, the hypersensitivity of today's society would never let a show like this flourish
    Making fun of ? ppl, transgendered ppl - LBGT wouldve been on their ?

    C/S the bold. I'll also add Fresh Prince to that list.

    We'll never and I mean never ever will we get an era like that again.

    Just makes you appreciate that era much more. Crazy part was shows like this were on around the same time.

    This show is still funny after 25 years, I was just watching it the other day. Homie, Fire Marshall Bill, Funky Finger Productions, Calhoun Tubbs, Anton Jackson, Carl "The Tooth" Williams, The ? Dozens, Cheap Pete, Head Detective, Handi Man, Home Boy Shopping Network, Sweet Tooth Jones, The 595 Club, Wanda and The Buttmans was the favorites with my family
