'The Wayans Bros.' Was such a funny show that it used to have me rolling on the floor. Part of the reason why it was a good show is that everybody on the show had good chemistry. Who could forget John Witherspoon cast as 'Pops.'
He was perfectly cast in that role. The strength of 'The Wayans Bros.' Was not because they were another 'black' show on television but was because they were not afraid to take comedy to new heights in order to get their laughs. During the earlier seasons of 'The Wayans Bros.' You can tell that the show's strengths was along the heels of 'WB' because they were becoming a famous network around this time.
I ask myself, 'why can't more shows be like this?' Anyway, 'The Wayans Bros.' Will have you rolling on the floor with Shawn, Marlon and Pops antics throughout it.
