FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Men on Cooking- In Living Color

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

There were censorship rules, and Fox broke them all, and audiences loved it. Then came new censorship and adult warning labels on albums. Who would have guessed that Fox would become one of the most conservative news media outlets.

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

There were also time parameters. I believe after 9pm or 10pm you could do and say more. It was thought that kids were in bed by then. That’s central time so probably more 10 and 11

[@GonRogue-85]

Fox entertainment and Fox news are separate entities. Fox news and Fox sports are owned by News Corp, the Murdoch's, Fix entertainment isn't.

[@ThePumpin1]

@@dimitriosgliarmis7622 In Living Color came on at 8pm/7pm central time on Sundays when it first aired. The show was moved to a different night of the week during its run, but I don't remember what day. I think it was Thursday. Also, you have to remember even back then Fox programming went off an hour earlier than the other networks. The time parameter thing doesn't apply to them. You also have to realize Fox was the new kid on the block and they were trying new types of programming and content the other networks wouldn't touch. They did it for viewers to tune in.

[@ThePumpin1]

The Fox "news" division and the entertainment division are totally separate from one another. They are owned, but not ran by the same people. But it is the same Fox strategy. When the "big three" went right, Fox (the entertainment division) went left. When they started cable "news", when the others went left, they went right. They just went for an audience which wasn't catered to before. Granted, I don't agree with 95% of what Fox "news" does, but you have to admit, it is a brilliant business move.

[@todddixon6347]

The brilliance of the satire in these skits ! As a gay man that lived through that era I loved it. I knew several people that would fit these two stereotypes. No, they were not the standard of all gay men. But there is some truth to their portrayals . I was rarely offended and even then, since it was not meant to be offensive but some writer's conception based on gay men he had known.

[@Sprite_525]

True. Well-done comedy can make anybody laugh if you got a sense of humor

[@BoxerRick]

God bless you, Brother. My best friend since HS is gay and our ability to laugh at ourselves and each other has been the key to staying like Brothers. Funny, over this weekend he said bout the Trans craze " Damn, After 50 years, with all these crazy people running around, I finally feel normal being plain ole gay! "

[@WolvenHeart1]

Believe in living color was on FOX which pushed the boundaries back then. Married with children and it also was at 11 pm or midnight, so after prime time

[@glenncooper9898]

Not true. I watched it on Sat night. 6pm prime. St. Louis…..

[@WolvenHeart1]

@glenncooper9898 sorry forgot the punctuation it reads wonky. I meant in Living Color came on after 11 pm when it first came out in the 80s, Married with children was at 9 pm. This is when FOX was starting up and it changed TV because the other channels were doing Family Ties and normal family sitcom. The Simpsons also started on FOX

[@kingcassius2586]

The thing that makes the 90’s so wild and free was the concept that after prime time or on cable what you could get away with was very different than what was considered normal programming.

[@davidmenchaca1063]

Damon left after the third season to do movies, but would come back for special appearances like men on cooking and homie the clown. The men on skits were spread out over the episodes enough to were you always watching so you don’t miss the next installment.

7:52 In the early 90s, Dennis Leary had a popular song on the radio called, "A**hole." It was censored during the day however, after 9pm it was uncensored.

Hi Britt, I remember watching this show when I was 17 yrs. old and laughing until I thought my ribs were going to break, and if I had to work that night my parents would tape it for me to watch later. I also remember the "Men on whatever, because it was a New Topic each week and sometimes you would catch Damon Wayans and David Grier holding in the laughter as they were doing The Skits. The show was a Melting Pot of Talent , meaning Wayans Brothers would hie you No Matter what Color You were. I think it's a shame the way some parts of this world has Become . This Show brings back GOOD Memories and alot of People Owe The Wayans Brothers a debt of gratitude for helping them get theirs careers started. You would REALLY Love to have a set of every Episode of every season of this show. you 'd need to Be Careful though because you wouldn't what to go into premature Labor. Congratulations and I Hope he Really YOU as I Hope You Do Him. Neal

Hey Britt, Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your baby! You will be missed, while you are away. To answer your question about women being referred to as "fish" .... "The term is a reference to the scent of a woman's vagina, which is colloquially likened to the smell of fish. Although the term is considered to be a compliment among Drag Queens, it is often considered to be an insult among biological women” - Ask Google

[@davidkettell6236]

Arent all women biological and the others are just fake ?

[@covrtdesign5279]

It wasn't the censorship as much as they were put on after a certain time of the night where swearing was a little more used and a little raunchier. Comedy Central had Comedy After Dark as well as other stations.

New! Very cool soundtrack! On October 1, the premiere of a stunningly beautiful OST video for the song “Baikal” took place on Diana Ankudinova’s KZbin channel. The soundtrack performed by Diana became the main musical theme of the film “The Spirit of Baikal,” which will be released in wide release on October 19, 2023. In the film itself, Diana voiced two roles - the spirit of Lake Baikal and the voice of the soul of the deceased mother of the main character of the film. The film received several top awards at film festivals. Baikal is the deepest, oldest, freshwater lake on Earth (22-23 percent of all fresh surface water), it is a place of power, the spiritual center of shamans, different religions - Shamanism , Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, a pristine place not yet touched by civilization.

[@blgeiger71]

Hey Brit, me again...I felt compelled to answer your question about women being referred to as "fish" by recounting a portion of an interview with Mick Mars, the original guitarist for the 80s Rock/Hair Metal band we know and LOVE by the name of Motley Crue, in which the camera man riding shotgun in Mick's Corvette asked him "What's your favorite fish?" Mick replied by saying, with a sh*t-eatin' grin on his face, "The elusive fish in the pantyhose that no one can seem to find!" Hope this helps - hee hee hee #Crue4Life

[@gregheath8106]

Hey Britt, great reaction! Regarding the use of fish when referring to women in these skits, for a long time, there has been a reference to a certain female part smelling like fish. I'll leave it at that. I don't use that reference, but I have heard it many times for many decades.

Although technically, his first mainstream album did debut in '99, and was a major censorship battle. But by the time I was talking about Eminem, I'd moved on from the 90s.
