The Wayans Bros.

"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.

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 like the show, it's not bad. It's quite old, but nonetheless, it's good. Especially the Wayans bros, they're very funny. Or the best parts when they smack their dad, and he takes off the belt, and starts beating them with it. lmao, good stuff. It's on BET sometimes,it's time well spent. The show didn't go on very long, i think from 1994, to 1999, something like that. I'm not sure.

However, it's a really good show. I haven't watched it much, but from the few shows i've seen it's really funny. There's some drama, but not much. Mostly laughter. Hey, no comment there. That's the best part.

So, should you watch Wayans bros, i think you should. There's just so much laughter, and all kinds off stuff. So give it a shot.

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.

This program cracks me up. Marlon especially with his dumb ideas and comments. Shawn can be funny. These two Wayans brothers are almost as talented as their brothers Damon and Keneen. Damon is one of my favourite actors. Keneen is very talented. I think that "In Living Color" was a great sitcom. It had a great cast. Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez became stars after the program ended. The Wayans Bros. is a great comedy.
