Trivia
The show was canceled in 1999. Shawn and Marlon Wayans went on to make Scary Movie a year later. At the climax of Scary Movie, Shawn's character seems to break the fourth wall by emotionally stating "The Wayan's 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".

One Funny TV Show!

I have always been a fan of the Wayan's family, from Keenan all the way down to Marlon. Marlon & Shawn were priceless with some of their comedy in this show. It's not only what they said, but how they said it and the facial expressions all rolled into one. I was sorry to see this show cancelled back in 1999. From what I remember, the WB was going to cancel the show after the second season, but it ended up running for 2 more seasons before it's demise. I am glad that Marlon & Shawn have moved on to other things, and the rest of the family are doing great too because they have a rare gift of comedy that cannot be beat!
