Martin is a sassy sitcom centering on a radio-and-television personality named Martin Payne. The series focuses on Martin's romantic relationship with girlfriend Gina Waters, his job changes from a radio personality to a television personality, 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.

Star, Martin Lawrence, also portrays of host of wild characters on the show. His neighbor Sheneneh; his mother Mama Payne; Otis the security guard; Jerome the gold-toothed player; Roscoe the snot-nosed kid who's always looking for a leg up; Bob, the white guy, King-Beef, Elroy, and many more.

Martin is the center of attention, as each episode takes you from one hilarious circumstance to another. Hijinks, laughter, quick-witted banter, and lotsa love, make this series one to last forever.less «

• What do you think Tommy's job was?

  He seemed like someone who would work in an office, but that's too easy. I think he was in real estate, or maybe even owned a small business. Or maybe it was something illegal because he was always so secretive. What do yall think?

  A funny show. hide « show »

  Martin is one of my favorite shows. It was really funny and they had good actors. I liked all the charatacters especially bro man he was my favorite. I liked cole better than tommy but i liked them both. I just started watching this show about two months ago. My favorite eposiode was when Martin was looking for a topic for his show and Gina gave him an idea and he liked it where the first time Gina and Martin met and there are all making lies to make each other look good until Tommy tells the truth that was a good one.

  8.9 Great

  i never laughed so hard as i did every time i watched this twisted classic. hide « show »

  If comedy is all about laughing, then Martin hit the spot as well as anything.
  Yeah, a lot of it was reworked and cliched. But the guy's funny as hell, and he had a helluva' supporting cast.
  His buddies made him look cool, establishing him as the "star."
  His verbal jousts with Pam brought "the dozens" and other such gems of urban culture to the mainstream. Not for the first time, but made the whole thing palatable.
  And his relationship with Gina was the stuff that the best of sitcom romances are made of.
  The classic sitcom.

  Cool! hide « show »

  "Martin" is one of the best television shows of all time. It is by far the funniest black sitcom ever created, far surpassing breakthrough shows like "The Jeffersons" and "Good Times". The 70's sitcom "What's Happening!!" is the only other show that comes close. When you watch a comedy show, it is common to smile, chuckle or laugh - but when you watch "Martin", particularly the first two to three seasons, you find yourself laughing so hard it hurts. This is a laugh out loud and stomp your feet show thanks to a brilliant comic talent - Martin Lawrence. Many people who I have talked to about this show have said they "don't get it" and that the rapid fire urban cultural references fly over their heads. I say, exactly. This show is clever and sharp and if you actually laugh at crap like "Will & Grace", you won't "get" this show either. Unlike every other pale, bland humored show out there, "Martin" is full flavored, knock you on your ass funny. Do not miss the chance to see it every time its rerun, you'll be witnessing t.v. sitcom history.

  An outstanding addition to the '90s! The decade wouldn't have been quite complete without it... hide « show »

  Unquestionably one of the best sitcoms in the history of television. Martin and Gina were the young, modern and "'90s" version of Cliff and Claire, Lucy and Ricky, and George and Weezy, all rolled into one!
  
  Martin, Gina, Pam, Tommy, Cole and every single other character on the show (whether played by Martin or not) each brought something unique to the equation. The show as a whole was and still is entertaining in every sense of the word and will have you laughing in tears, while following all of the gang's uncontrollable situations, crazy antics and hilarious circumstances. It was unfortunate that the majority of the last season consisted of episodes where Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell couldn't be in the same scenes together, due to an off-camera issue...and it would have been nice for things to end on a more natural note, but at least it did have an official "final" episode and the show had a great run while it lasted!
  
  Put it this way: I've seen every single episode of this show about 700 times and could easily watch them 700 more...and still manage to long for an additional 700 after that!!
  
  That's how serious it is.
