"Dance Flick" - There have been few screen comedy families who have successfully passed the torch from one generation to the next as the Wayans family has. The Wayans brothers - Keenen Ivory, Shawn, Marlon and Damon - along with sister Kim, first burst onto the screen with 1988's blaxploitation parody, "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka," which led to their groundbreaking Fox comedy sketch series, "In Living Color." The show not only brought the Wayans clan into the public consciousness, but also launched the careers of such other major stars as Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. Keenen also wrote and starred in the film "Hollywood Shuffle."
