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".

I'd Love to see A New Sitcom

I agree. The Wayans Bros was a really entertaining television show that was an almost 'no holding back' show not catering to mainstream sitcoms of the present. The show is aired weekdays on the WB- Atlanta and I really miss it. I wish they'd bring it back or at least a new sitcom featuring Shawn and Marlon. Their closeness was so evident in each episode which made the show even more enjoyable.
