Quite simply the funniest show on TV
by Deceptikon2252002-12-20

""Martin" was my favorite show in the '90s and it still is my favorite show today. I set my VCR everyday to record the episodes that are rerun on USA network. Bill Cosby once called this show a "modern day minstrel" and yet I'm still waiting to see "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" reruns on Cartoon Network, maybe Mr. Cosby won't allow them to be shown because it would eat at his own guilty conscience. Martin is a comedic genius and the other characters, Gina, Pam, Tommy and Cole contrasted well with his over-the-top style, usually ending up the butts ..."

💡 Did You Know?

In season 5, Tisha Campbell-Martin filed a sexual harassment case against Martin Lawrence. Based on reports, he would grope and kiss her and make further advances during rehearsals and filming, despite her repeated refusals. Over the years, his behavior became more manic and violent. Only the first 10 episodes of season five had shared scenes between the Martin and Gina characters. Carl Anthony Payne II also had personal issues with Lawrence; his character Cole did not appear in several episodes during the last season.
