FINALLY!!! - Rating: 5/5
I have waited a long time for this. Martin is hands down one of THE BEST comedians of all time! This sitcom will keep you laughing!It amazes me how funny this man is. I am 29 years old so I was a teenager when Martin first came out and I loved it then but I didn't appreciate it until now. I still laugh at every episode as if I saw it for the first time. KUDOS to Martin and the entire cast!
Good buy - Rating: 5/5
This series was just as hilarious as when I saw it for the first time..I plan on buying all 5 season..Nothing has changed, Martin is as funny as ever..
Love, Love, Love it. - Rating: 5/5
I've been waiting to see this on DVD...I'm so happy I got it. NYC has a channel that plays this at nights, but here in New Jerz we don't have that channel. The first episode it hilarious..and it keeps going. My fav. on this DVD has to be when Martin is the director of the talent show, and he lets it go to his head...And Gina singing "Push, you got to push"...LOL..too funny..
You GO, boy! - Rating: 5/5
When I first saw that Martin was coming to dvd, I laughed and wondered, 'Who would buy these?!' After not seeing an episode in years, I rented the dvds off Netflix and now there's no turning back. I was in elementary when the show first aired but now as an adult this show is still hysterical. I love all of the characters and situations that arise in each episode. Martin Lawrence brings the viewer laugh after laugh with his crazy antics and even crazier alter-ego's.
Not only are the episodes funny, but a lot of them are true to life. I'm sure everybody has been through some of the same relationship problems that Martin and Gina have faced, and I'm sure all of us have a Cole in our lives, you know, that guy who just can't move out of his moms house. This show is a lot of fun and I'm glad I rediscovered it. That's wazzup, wazzup, WAZZUP!
Still funny after all these years... - Rating: 5/5
"Martin," the self-titled sitcom that shot popular stand-up comedian Martin Lawrence to universal stardom still remains one of the funniest and best television situation comedies ever!
The show first aired on Fox in 1992, but still draws huge laughs like its still airing today. Need proof?, TV-One airs it about 90 times a day because of the huge ratings it garners. This first season featured some classic episodes like "Forever Sheneneh," where resident ghetto chick Sheneneh Jenkins gives Kid of Kid-N-Play a date he will NEVER forget!, "Checks, Lies & Videotape," where Martin and Gina set up a corrupt minister (played by funny man David Alan Grier) who is stealing money from Martin's mother, Momma Payne, along with other church memebers for his personal financial gain. This season also featured the three-part episodes where Martin & Gina break-up and ultimately make-up (Martin singing "I Will Always Love You" still gets a chuckle).
This disc is well worth your money. Sixteen years after its premiere, it is still just as funny as the days when it first started airing!
