    Political correctness will kill what made the original series so funny.

    Sketch comedy is a dead art. Last good sketch comedy was UCB or Dave Chapelle. Fox is probably giving it a shot because it is cheap to make.

    Sacha Baron Cohen or Jamie Kennedy would be great options!

    Hollywood has so many original ideas these days.

    I'm preparing for disappointment ... pilot to co-pilot, we goin' down in flaaames.

    Now I have to watch some In Living Color Youtube clips. So amazing how much talent that show had.

    The latter being more realistic than the former seeing as SBC actually gets legit acting jobs while Jamie Kennedy is... well Jamie Kennedy.

    You should have a little more faith in Fox (and a little less whining about social tolerance). Two things they and MTV figured out before anyone else: that demographics matter more than ratings, and the FCC can't police everything.

    The original has not aged well. Either that or my sense of humor has changed since I was 10.

    I don't think the 90s aged well, period.

    If history and social trends are cyclical, I feel sorry for whoever has to relive that particular decade.

    I can still laugh at ILC, though, so maybe it won't be all bad.

    I'm not a fan of middle-aged retro crap but I thought the '90s were awesome. 1998-99 doesn't even seem like it was real.
