The Wayans Bros.

This might be low brow comedy, but it's hilarious. The show is very well written, and I completely enjoy every episode. I think the Wayan's brothers have great charisma, and they work perfectly together. It is clear that they have a close relationship, and it goes to make the characters more likeable. Pops, with his ridiculous outfits adds an unusual element to the show...and even more humor. This is a great show with great characters, and great acting. In a word...great. Check it out, reruns air on the WB.

I agree. The Wayans Bros was a really entertaining television show that was an almost 'no holding back' show not catering to mainstream sitcoms of the present. The show is aired weekdays on the WB- Atlanta and I really miss it. I wish they'd bring it back or at least a new sitcom featuring Shawn and Marlon. Their closeness was so evident in each episode which made the show even more enjoyable.

I have always been a fan of the Wayan's family, from Keenan all the way down to Marlon. Marlon & Shawn were priceless with some of their comedy in this show. It's not only what they said, but how they said it and the facial expressions all rolled into one. I was sorry to see this show cancelled back in 1999. From what I remember, the WB was going to cancel the show after the second season, but it ended up running for 2 more seasons before it's demise. I am glad that Marlon & Shawn have moved on to other things, and the rest of the family are doing great too because they have a rare gift of comedy that cannot be beat!

"The Wayans Bros." was one of, if not the first of many African-American sitcoms that The WB, a newly formed channel, gave a platform to. It was a formula that UPN would later adopt as well.

Shawn and Marlon Wayans play Shawn and Marlon Williams, sons of John 'Pops' Williams (John Witherspoon). Pops owns a little cafe while Shawn runs a little newspaper stand, both inside the lobby of the same building. The shiftless and lazy Marlon bounces between the two as an employee.

I liked "The Wayans Bros." even if Marlon Wayans was a little over the top at times. John Witherspoon was funny with his "yit-tidee" and other trademarks. I was even glad to see Anna Maria Horsford have a landing spot after the successful "Amen."

I know "The Wayans Bros." gets panned (my father is one of them), but I do have a fondness of the Wayans family as a whole and their show could've been a lot worse.

"The Wayans Bros." was such a funny show that it used to have me rolling on the floor. Part of the reason why it was a good show is that everybody on the show had good chemistry. Who could forget John Witherspoon cast as "Pops." He was perfectly cast in that role. The strength of "The Wayans Bros." was not because they were another "black" show on television but was because they were not afraid to take comedy to new heights in order to get their laughs.

During the earlier seasons of "The Wayans Bros." you can tell that the show's strengths was along the heels of "WB" because they were becoming a famous network around this time. I ask myself, "why can't more shows be like this?" Anyway, "The Wayans Bros." will have you rolling on the floor with Shawn, Marlon and Pops antics throughout it.
