Homey Does Play That

 In Living Color, one of Fox's best early offerings is making a big comeback in 2012. The show that helped launched the careers of Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey and all of The Wayans Brothers, is back in action with host and executive producer Keenan Ivory Wayans in charge.
 What does this mean? Hopefully we get to see our old friends Homey, Wanda, and more. Also, there's the possibility of a reunion of the original cast members. Let's hope that Fox won't try and censor the creativity and sass that made the show unique. It was the alternative to Saturday Night Live at a time when the humor was more biting and less diverse.
 I somewhat hope the fly girls don't come back. And I don't just mean the originals,  I mean any. Dancing in television shows should be reserved for shows like Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance.
 But above and beyond anything else, let's hope that Keenan and his brothers will continue to be uniquely original, dynamically inspired and a good place for young talent to explode.
