NOTES

In the beginning -- You can do what you want to do -- For the culture -- Shades of Richard Pryor -- When In living color was too raw for TV -- The Super Bowl halftime show that changed history -- Men on film -- From LGBTQIA parody to acceptance -- Keenen's departure -- The end -- and the beginning -- of an era -- Black ownership in the hour of chaos

"An entertaining yet conscientious examination of the popular sketch show In Living Color, which broke racial, cultural, and comedy boundaries; launched the careers of stars such as Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey; and helped shape comedy in the 21st century"--
