[[Sitcom]] that ran on [[The WB]] from [[The Nineties|1995 to 1999]], staring real-life brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans. The series' premise was pretty simple: The two brothers lived in a shared one-bedroom apartment in New York. Said apartment was above their father's restaurant, called simply "Pops", which the two would visit on occasion during the first season. |

In the second season, Pops moved his restaurant to the Neidermeyer Building, where Shawn managed to acquire a newspaper stand and worked alongside Marlon. The rest of the series took place here. The newspaper stand came with a security guard (Lou in the second season, Dee for the remainder of the show) who became a close friend of theirs. The boys also moved into a brownstone which still had one bedroom. |

''The Wayans Bros'' was generally a situation comedy with the brothers getting into silly hijinks and trying to figure a way out of them. If you were a fan of The WB back in 90s, no doubt you were watching this. |

** Shawn as well in the season one episode "I'm Too Sexy For My Brother", in which he steals Marlon's thunder and becomes a model. Of course Shawn then-girlfriend [[Put on a Bus|Lisa]] called him out at the end. |
