IN LIVING COLOR (FOX SKETCH COMEDY SERIES, 1990-1994)

ENGLISH
In Living Color is an American sketch comedy television series that originally ran on Fox from April 15, 1990,[1] to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and was taped at stage 7 at the Fox Television Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The title of the series was inspired by the NBC announcement of broadcasts being presented "in living color" during the 1960s, prior to mainstream color television. It also refers to the fact that most of the show's cast were black, unlike other sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live whose casts were mostly white. It was controversial due to the Wayans' decision to portray African-American humor from the ghetto in a time when mainstream American tastes regarding black comedy had been set by more upscale shows such as The Cosby Show, causing an eventual feud for control between Fox executives and the Wayans. Other members of the Wayans family—Kim, Shawn, and Marlon—had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra. The show also starred the rising stand-up comic Jim Carrey alongside previously unknown actor/comedians Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier, and T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh. Additionally, Dancing with the Stars judge and choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba, and actress and pop music star Jennifer Lopez, were members of the show's dance troupe The Fly Girls with actress Rosie Perez serving as choreographer. The show launched the careers of Carrey, Foxx, Davidson, Grier, Keymáh, Inaba, and Lopez and is credited with bringing the Wayans family to a higher level of fame as well. It was immensely popular in its first two seasons, capturing more than a 10-point Nielsen rating; in the third and fourth seasons, ratings faltered as the Wayans brothers fell out with Fox network leadership over creative control and rights. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990. The series gained international prominence for its bold move and its all-time high ratings gained by airing a live, special episode as a counterprogram for the halftime show of U.S. leader CBS's live telecast of Super Bowl XXVI.

ITALIAN (ITALIANO)
In Living Color è una serie televisiva di sketch statunitense creata da David Kohan e Max Mutchnick e trasmessa in America dal network televisivo Fox dal 1990 al 1994. La serie è atta a fare della comicità enfatizzando sulla questione degli uomini e donne di colore. Gli sketch presenti furono talmente apprezzati che incrementarono la fama di comici e attori come Jim Carrey (uno degli unici due uomini bianchi della serie nel cast originale, allora accreditato come "James Carrey"), Jamie Foxx (futuro vincitore di un Academy Award, che si aggiunse al cast nella terza stagione) e David Alan Grier (che già aveva recitato in un film di Keenen Ivory Wayans del 1988, ovvero Scappa, scappa... poi ti prendo!). Anche i membri di ballo (le "Fly Girls") continueranno la loro carriera, in particolare la celeberrima attrice e cantante Jennifer Lopez (anche lei si unirà al cast nella terza stagione); ancora la coreografa Laurie Ann Gibson e Rosie Perez, in seguito nominata per un Academy Award. Per la sigla di apertura dell'episodio pilota è stato usato un logo di aspetto esotico in bianco-nero. Dopo una causa con la band Living Colour, esso è stato modificato con un carattere piuttosto semplice ed in tre colori. Entrambe le sigle furono musicate dal gruppo hip hop Heavy D & the Boyz. Il simbolo e la sequenza iniziale sono state ispirate dallo stile della Memphis, un gruppo di designer italiani.
