    Shawn and Marlon are the coolest guys on TV

    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.

    low brow comedy at it's best

    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.

    Very funny show!

    This was one of the first of what I call Average African-American Shows.

    (See my review of One On One for more details) It's basically a show not

    on the Top 4 networks that is mostly made up of African American actors.

    The thing that makes these shows different from shows like The Cosby

    Show, Jeffersons, Good Times, etc... is that they aren't exactly

    supposed to appeal to White America. In fact they appeal to a more Urban

    audience. I guess that's why I liked this show so much. There's

    something about a show that doesn't try to appeal to the majority that

    helps make it funnier and cutting-edge. Much like their previous show,

    In Living Colour, Marlon and Shawn show they have what it takes to make

    young audiences laugh. My brother and I especially love the beginning

    theme song: "We're brothers. We're happy and we're singing and we're

    colored. Give me a HIGH-FIVE!" Then they help an old lady get run over

    by a bus which they somehow got on. HILARIOUS!! Another incident my

    brother and I love is the episode where their father says he's going to

    stand up to their mother. The next day he shows up with his suitcases at

    their apartment and he says he told their mother everything he wanted to

    tell her. They Wayans brothers then ask what happened next. The father

    replies, "I don't know. When I came to some stranger was helping me on

    the bus." I LOVED IT! Too bad it was cancelled so darn ear

    One Funny TV Show!

    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!

    This is great show.

    The Wayans Brothers is my favorite show. Marlon Wayans is my favorite actor. Need I say more. This show has got to be the funniest I've ever seen. Well, a tie with "In Living Color," which Marlon was also in. The Wayans really know how to entertain people and that's what makes the Wayans brother so great. Marlon will do anything and Shawn has his own style of humor. I give this how a 10.

    • Trivia
      The show was canceled in 1999. Shawn and Marlon Wayans made "Scary Movie" the next year. At its climax, Shawn's character seems to break the fourth wall by emotionally stating "The Wayans Brothers was a good-ass show! And we didn't even get a final episode!"
    • Quotes

      [Gary Coleman enters Pop's diner]

      Pop: Hey, ain't that Webster?

      Shawn: No, Pop. That's Gary Coleman, and watch what you say to him. You might get punched in your eye.

      Pop: Punch me in my eye? I'll put him over my knee and give HIM a "different stroke".
