Trivia
The show was canceled in 1999. Shawn and Marlon Wayans made "Scary Movie" the next year. At its climax, Shawn's character seems to break the fourth wall by emotionally stating "The Wayans Brothers was a good-ass show! And we didn't even get a final episode!"

Quotes
[Gary Coleman enters Pop's diner]
Pop: Hey, ain't that Webster?
Shawn: No, Pop. That's Gary Coleman, and watch what you say to him. You might get punched in your eye.
Pop: Punch me in my eye? I'll put him over my knee and give HIM a "different stroke".

low brow comedy at it's best

This might be low brow comedy, but it's hilarious. The show is very well written, and I completely enjoy every episode. I think the Wayan's brothers have great charisma, and they work perfectly together. It is clear that they have a close relationship, and it goes to make the characters more likeable. Pops, with his ridiculous outfits adds an unusual element to the show...and even more humor. This is a great show with great characters, and great acting. In a word...great. Check it out, reruns air on the WB.
