What I never got about this show were all the characters he played. The show was like two shows within a show. You had a show with Martin, Gina, his friends and their adventures then you had an off the wall show with Martin doing zany things with the other characters he played. I much preferred the former to the latter and when the show went more in the direction of the latter, it really started to become unwatchable. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on October 25, 2012, 5:09 pm - (1 votes)

I never cared for this show. I don't find Martin Lawrence funny one bit. -- Submitted By: (Jp) on October 24, 2012, 9:31 pm - (0 votes)

Martin is one of those shows that will remain funny for a long time despite being a 90's show. It definitely started dying with the whole harassment lawsuit issue and Martin movie career. Gina stopped being filmed in the same scenes as Martin, the jokes started getting sour, minor character's role increased, and martin just wasn't as lively anymore. If you watched the show then you know that it was really time for it to end in terms of story writing, I mean Martin changed careers, got married, and still ived in that apartment.. what else do we need to see? Him have kids? If you're just starting to watch the show..ill warn you that the seasons that had the cgi style martin in the intro are the worse ones with some exceptions. -- Submitted By: (Elz) on October 13, 2012, 5:21 pm - (0 votes)

I think it never boned for most parts. It's a petty funny show but the humor started to worn off a bit in the later seasons. I didn't remember Tisha Campbell suing Martin and HBO for sexual harassment because I was young when it happen. The final season wasn't as much funny as the first two seasons, I don't know because of the lawsuit or Martin was burnt out and wanted to make movies. But it's a good thing that it canceled before they milked it dry and become unwatchable. -- Submitted By: (SSM) on March 13, 2011, 6:36 am - (0 votes)
