    If you're looking for a 90's classic, you've come to the right place! This series covers family life, life in a studio, life as a comedian, life as the better neighbor, and the actors give 110% into their role playing. I always laugh with this show... a great pick me up for your day. Highly Recommend Martin and Gina!

  • The funniest show of all time

    Martin is my favorite show of all time. I liked all the characters he played likesheneneh, roscoe, jerome, old otis, mama payne, elroy preston, bob, king beef. One of my favorite episodes is the episode where old otis was gina and pams bodyguard after they witnessed a bank robbery. Another one of my favorite episodes is the one when martins cd player was missing and he thought his friends stole it. To me, martin is the funniest show of all time.moreless

    Really really really luved this show. Still watching the old episodes on MTV2 n TVOne. Would laugh at all the cracks Martin n Pam traded 2 each other. Was watchin 1 of my fav episodes earlier when Martin, Gina, Tommy, n Pam went 2 this resort, n they fought this possum lookin thing, n at the end Pam went, "That thing out-weighed yo little ass." n Martin replied, "I know it was hard 2 fight a family member." I busted out laughing so hard, the neighbors though I was killing sumbody. I also luved the other characters Martin played. Mama Payne, Jerome, Sheneneh. I mostly like the Sheneneh character. She reminded me of this girl that I used 2 went 2 school with. If Martin had a spin-off, Sheneneh should b the main character n call it after 1 of the episode from Season 1 called, "Forever Sheneneh."moreless

  • Never a dull episode with Martin and his friends - along with his vast array of characters. True comedy.

    Martin puts a lot of effort into the roles he plays but his neighbor Sheneneh is beyond side splitting. His style of grouchy, smart mouthed, wise cracking is so typical of most people and is one reason why it is so funny. I think we can relate to it as if it was a day in our lives. I recorded every episode on VHS back in the day - I am so glad for the DVDs of the series now... Not a week goes by that we are not watching at least one disc and saying ALL the lines right along with the cast. Still just as funny as if we had never seen any of them before!moreless

    My mom use to watch this series everytime it came on television when I was a kid. So, I would watch the show also when it came on and I find it to be very funny. Every week I would watch this show with my mom and I loved it. I was sad when the series ended because I pretty much lived for this series at the time. To those who love Martin Lawrence and/or comedy series then you might want to go on the computer and try to see where you can find it. I am glad I was able to watch this series when I could. Good luck to those who go looking for this series.moreless
