=== Wayans family departures ===
Keenen Ivory Wayans stopped appearing in sketches in 1992 after the end of the third season, over disputes with Fox about the network [[censorship|censoring]] the show's content and rerunning early episodes without his consultation; he feared that Fox would ultimately decrease the [[Broadcast syndication|syndication]] value of ''In Living Color''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Brooks|first=Tim |author2=Marsh, Earle F.|title=The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946–Present |publisher=Ballantine Books|date=2007-10-17|edition=9|page=661|isbn=978-0-345-49773-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Brooks |first1=Brian |title='In Living Color' Cast Reunites And Shares Early Stories At Tribeca Film Festival |url=https://deadline.com/2019/04/fox-wanted-to-push-the-envelope-with-in-living-color-tribeca-film-festival-1202603365/ |website=Deadline |access-date=17 May 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Reinstein |first1=Mara |title='In Living Color' Oral History: Fox Censors, Spike Lee's Disdain |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/living-color-oral-history-fox-censors-spike-lees-disdain-1219192/#:~:text=what%20started%20to%20happen%20into%20the%20fourth%20season,%20exploiting%20me |website=Hollywood Reporter |access-date=17 May 2025}}</ref> During the fourth season, Keenan only appeared in the opening segment of the season premiere, though he remained in the opening credits up until the thirteenth episode due to his producer status, after which he departed the series altogether. Damon Wayans left at the end of the third season to pursue a film career, though he returned for several guest spots throughout the fourth season. Marlon Wayans, who had joined the fourth season as a featured player, left just two episodes after Keenan stepped down as producer. Shawn and Kim Wayans also wished to leave the series at the same time in solidarity with their family, but were unable to due to still being under contract at the time; both eventually left at the end of the season after their contracts' expirations.
