Brilliant and touching
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

View MoreMartin Lawrence is laugh out loud funny! This is my favorite 1990's sitcom next to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"! I think it's hilarious that Martin Lawrence plays some other characters in the show besides himself. The other characters that Martin Lawrence plays besides himself are Mama Payne, Sheneneh (Martin's neighbor), Otis (the security guard), Jerome (the gold tooth player), Roscoe (the snot-nosed kid), Bob (the white guy), Elroy and many others. Martin Lawrence stars as Martin Payne and the series focuses on Martin's romantic relationship with girlfriend Gina Waters (Tisha Campbell), his job changes from a radio personality (Seasons 1 & 2) to a television personality (Seasons 3-5) in Detroit, and the variety of friends Martin hangs out with along the way: the loud-mouthed and sassy Pam James and his best friends Tommy Strong and Cole Brown. Martin Lawrence is hilarious and I think his friends Tommy and Cole are funny too. This show premiered on FOX back in August 1992 and lasted for 5 seasons until May 1997.User Rating: 10/10 BOTTOM LINE: HILARIOUS
View MoreMartin was the best show ever! All of the characters he played from Jerome to one of the early favorites "King Beef". I can't believe that this show has not come out on DVD yet. It's kind of upsetting to see Cedric the Entertainer have his one season of his show on DVD and it didn't even last a full season. (no offense to Ced) I just can't wait until the Martin show comes out on DVD so I can watch Martin without having to stay up until 1 o'clock in the morning to see it. I have so many friends that share the same views that I do and we sit around and talk about all of the old episodes like Otis the Security guard saying to the man with the jerry curl, "next time you change your motor oil, wear a shower cap." Or Dragon fly Jones getting his butt kicked. I used to just rewind episodes and cry over and over again. It was the best!
View More"Martin" was the most hilarious show there ever was that hit TV. It was on everyone's TV schedule. This show has never steered anyone in the wrong way and never was 'not' funny. Two of my favorite episode was when Martin and Gina had bought a new bed and the decided to have sex and Gina got her head stuck between the bars of the metal headboard. They tried so hard to get it off by pulling and burning some of the bars off but was unsuccessful. On top of that, she had to give this big presentation at work so she tried to camouflage it with a big scarf and a big Diana Ross wig. It was so funny. The second is when they got married on the tropical beach. That was a dream wedding that included some of the ups and downs that would pop up before the actual wedding takes place. But it has always stood out in my head. "Martin" was the best show ever and I hope that they put it on DVD soon.
View MoreTo call it hilarious would not be doing it justice at all,it is simply the "bomb" KABOOM!.l wonder why they ever stopped running the show.l will give anything to get the complete series.it takes ingenuity to produce a thing like that & assemble a cast like that too.the characters l like most in the cast are Martin,Pam and Cole.Of course this doesn't mean the others are any less electrifying.l always had to set my video recorders timer to record it whenever l was away & quite frankly the little bits l got recorded l never stop watching.so imagine how it'll feel getting a complete set of all the episodes in a disc.PRICELESS is the word.My friends & l cant wait to get it.
