    One of the best sitcoms of all-time!

    Martin doesn't get the credit it deserves as it should be mentioned among the best all-time sitcoms. It stars Martin Lawrence as a talk show host, his girlfriend Gina (Tisha Campbell) and their friends Cole (Carl Anthony Payne II), Tommy (Thomas Mikal Ford) and Pam (Tichina Arnold). Martin also plays a host of other hilarious characters in the show, each one as hilarious as the next. There also a bunch of supporting characters, all that will make you laugh out loud. It's easily one of funniest sitcoms from the 90's. While it's not the best it should at least be mentioned. This show will always be funny and I still watch it when I see it on tv!

    Still Funny Today!

    If you grew up in the 90's then you were probably a fan of Martin. Even if you didn't you should still find this show funny. No one else could've played this role except Martin Lawrence. His physical comedy is what made this show. This show is still just as funny when I watch it today as it was when it was originally on in the 90's!

    Martin! You so crazy!

    A+

    Starring: Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, and Tichina Arnold.

    Martin Lawrence stars in one of the most hysterical television show ever. The jokes never stop and old jokes are still funny. For instance, Martin and Pam's constant ripping on each other. It was still funny to the last episode. Another instance is when Tommy keeps talking about his job, when he is unemployed. It may not seem funny but when you see it, you'll laugh you're heart out. Why this show was cancelled boggles my mind, and I think it was a completely stupid move to do that. Catch this show on the WB at 10:30 Central Time.

    Hilarious!

    This is the funniest, most outrageous, sitcom I have ever seen. Its hilarious! Martin Lawrence plays six parts in this show. When ever he is playing Mother Payne, the Police officer or Jerome, you can expect to laugh until it hearts. Martin and Pam are also what makes this show so funny. Pam is hilarious when she insults Martin and Martin is hilarious when he insults Pam. Martin Lawrence is like a Black Jim Carrey, only funnier. His movies will make you laugh too, but if you want to see Martin lawrence at his best, watch "Martin". You will not believe how funny this show is! I highly recommend this show to everybody.

    My Rating: 11 out of 10! (above average show)

    One of the Funniest Sitcoms Ever

    Martin Lawrence is absolutely hilarious in this show; the rest of the cast is extremely funny as well. Martin's physical humor is great, this is maybe the only sitcom that has so frequently made me laugh out loud--really hard. Anytime Martin goes nuts over something he starts making all these weird faces and starts jumping and running around, and it's incredibly, ridiculously funny, and it seems to happen nearly every episode. Watch the reruns that come on late night on USA, you won't be disappointed.

    • Trivia
      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.
