IN LIVING COLOR: SEASON ONE, EPISODE SEVEN (TV)
Summary
One in this African-American-based sketch comedy program. Creator and star Keenen Ivory Wayans opens this program by introducing DJ SW-1 and the in-house dance troupe, The Fly Girls. Sketches include the following: "King: The Early Years," which depicts the playground antics of fight promoter Don King; "Cookin' With Salt-n-Pepa," featuring the female hip-hop trio; "Hey Mon!", a sitcom focusing on a family of extremely hard-working West Indian immigrants who are stunned to hear that their daughter's new beau has only one high-paying job; Ted Turner's "Very Colorized Classics," featuring a revised version of "Casablanca" starring Billy Dee Williams and Stevie Wonder; an encounter with a strangely wise bathroom attendant; and an installment of "Men on Books," in which the flamboyant duo reviews such works as "Robinson Crusoe," "Little Women," "Little Men," "Roughing It" and "Moby Dick," which receives and unprecedented "Zorro snap in Z-formation." Commercials deleted.
