It's a pleasure to be reminded, after years of increasingly lazy movie performances, that Martin Lawrence was once a hungry, crackling young comic. His 1990s sitcom Martin, in which Lawrence played a radio shock jock juggling the demands of his friends and his girlfriend, was nothing new--it's your basic 'gee, men and women sure are different' setup with an African-American flavor. But Lawrence threw himself into the show with gusto. In addition to the central character of Martin Payne, Lawrence played Payne's mother, his trashy neighbor Sheneneh, pompous player Jerome, and numerous others, some of whom were integrated into the main stories, some of whom just appeared in stand-alone segments at the opening of the show. (Ironically, many of the show's fans are more enthusiastic about these side characters than about Martin Payne.) No one will ever accuse Lawrence of subtlety, but his reckless energy is undeniable. That, combined with a good supporting cast (including Trisha Campbell as Gina, his long-suffering girlfriend; Saturday Night Live's Garrett Morris as Stan, his penny-pinching boss; and Carl Anthony Payne II, Tomas Mikal Ford, and Tichina Arnold as Martin and Gina's friends), gave the show a solid dynamic that raised it above the often formulaic scripts. Martin: The Complete First Season includes all 27 episodes; the extras, unfortunately, are only a highlights feature and a standard blooper reel. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - FINALLY!!!
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!
Rating: - Good buy
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..
Rating: - Love, Love, Love it.
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..
Rating: - You GO, boy!
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.

Rating: - Still funny after all these years...
"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 ... Read More
