damn. when BOW came out and i watched the premiere as a kid I was laughing so hard at all the movements and dancing without music i didnt get too much the fuck he was doing but all I know was I was excited.



It was exciting to see his videos from "Dangerous" be premiered on television after the "Simpsons." Then it became played out after Eddie Murphy started doing it. lol

I really don't think the alleyway dance is that obscene. Sexuality and dance go hand in hand, why can't he express that?

Does anyone remember when Eddie started premiering his music videos on the Fox Network too? Ofcourse he had that video with Michael, "What's Up With You," with the animated birds flying in the air. blah There was another one, I can't remember the title, but he was in the jungle or something. meh

Whatzupwitu world premiered on Fox? I remember it premiering on MTV

I remember Black Or White's premiere. EVERYBODY was home that night. In my house, my mom's tv in her room was on MTV and the downstairs TV in the living room was on Fox.

I didn't catch the premiere of In The Closet because my dad took me and older brothers to see American Gladiators mad

Yep,the World premiere of the video clip took place on April 15, 1993 on Fox and BET.

It was definitely an event when Michael premiered those videos especially BOW, I agree. nod I had such a crush on Michael during that time so I was blushing big time when I first watched "In The Closet." lol I wanted to be Naomi. mad

LMAO! Damn, it sucks being the baby brother, huh? lol Luckily I was at my brother's apartment at the time. :-p I think someone said, and I don't even know if it's true now, but 500 million people worldwide watched it, lol.

falloff It was great to watch In Living Color on Thursdays. When it moved to Sundays, it had an effect on the show's ratings. Plus the leaving of most of the Wayans family members was a little hard to swallow.

That killed the show. Not only what you watch on TV, but behind the scenes. They weren't having fun like they used too, as you can tell in the closing credits on season 5.

FOX had a good thing, and they messed it up. Should've let Keenen do his thing. ILC might still be on to this day (well maybe not, but it wouldn't have gotten cancled, the Wayans would have left when it was their time.)

Also, Chris Rock should have been on the show from the beginning ... "Good lawd that a lot of money"

It's weird he even has to reason for it, self expression isn't really something you can give a reason for. To explain it is to take away from it IMO, I like just watching it and knowing it means something to him, whether or not I understand it.

Another thing I noticed, the three major Wayans' shows all got canceled after 5 seasons.

-In Living Color
-The Wayans Brothers
-My Wife and Kids

They all reached the 100 episode mark though.


And even the other Wayans' shows were canceled after just one season.

-Waynehead (axed after one season)
-Keenen Ivory Wayans Show (axed after one season)
-Damon (axed after one season)
-The Underground (axed after one season)

Yeah I noticed, lol. Least they got clout with those three other shows. The other four went down the fucking toilet. But at least they had a season, lol. lol Usually shows that don't do THAT well get canceled IMMEDIATELY.

Speaking of, Hollywood's going down the dumpster. Apparently the leader of the Screen Actors Guild is asking his members for a strike. This should help Hollywood's finances. lol

But only two of those shows were bad, Keenen's attempt to be his buddy Arsenio and Damon. Waynehead was the shiz and Underground was hilarious. Also In The House got canceled (though it wasn't a Wayans' project.).
