    I became a fan of Martin this year and this is just another one of the many quality episodes throughout this show's run. The way they captured people's reactions to being snowed in during a blizzard and to dealing with the landlord was just way ahead of its time and this is a show that still holds up today. Tonight's episode was funny, although I could have done without the fart humor.

    It was fun to see a young Tracy Morgan here as Hustle Man and he has clearly grown in the comedy department since this show.

    But good episode here. Fun storyline, believable reactions from the cast too. And the return of, "Get to steppin!"moreless
