Customer Rating:      Summary: Great collection! Comment: I really enjoyed the show when I was younger and ordered it out of nostalgia.
For the era, the comedy was new and very edgy. Some great young talent was introduced such as Jim Carrey (billed as James Carrey), Jamie Foxx, almost the entire Wayons family, and David Alan Grier.
The down side is that, while the attitudes towards some of the subject matter is pretty over-the-top (depending on one's point of view) and clearly are sarcastic, there is the constant referral to "The Man" as being the sterotyped rich white person who oppressed the minorities on the show. For very impressionable youths of the time, that message got a weekly dose of reinforcement. Having grown up as a poor white kid, "The Man" put everyone down, and not just confined to minorities.
Enjoy it for the visual gags and skits as a whole.
