Not talking about a reunion like that. I'm talking about a reunion when all the actors come back to talk about their time on the show.A reunion show would be utter trash
Martin doesnt look like he has the energy to act, never mind play all those crazy ass characters
A Martin reunion with no Gina breh,we comparing Lisa Turtle to Gina? You could have a reunion without Cole if him and Martin didn't get along but not Gina.
Besides I think you need to go back and watch season 5 and see what happened without Gina?Not saying she made the show,but the show was wack in the last season with or without Gina and needed to go off the air.
Martin carried the show and he wasnt the same Martin he had been in the last season for whatever reason,and he definitely aint the same Martin now....a Martin reunion could be good with Kevin Hart in Martins place just like a Friday reunion would be better with Mike Epps instead of Chris Tucker....im more curious to know what happened to Martin in that final season,something wasn't right about dude.
Since then he's just gradually gotten less funny,but at that time he still had it in em to be as funny as usual,but something was off about him....I could really care less about him and Gina,if Martin had been himself the show would've been fine with replacement Gina...that's how good Martin was,we woulda got over it.
Had to be on drugs. Matter of fact, I have the seasons 1-4 on DVD, but never even cared to buy the 5th season b/c it was so awful. And towards the end of season 4 is pretty bad too.
He was zonked out.
Reminds of the 5th/6th season of Sanford & Son. The magic just wasn't there and it was a chore to watch, and I think both Redd Foxx and Lamont were on drugs.
I wish our Black entertainers would stay away from drugs. It NEVER ends well.
Nah breh. Everybody on that show was cast to perfection. Even the side characters likeBruh Man. There was never a character on there that seemed like extra weight. Plus Gina was on House Party with Martin, so they went back before the show began.
I do agree with you that I wish I didnt know they didnt get along b/c it seemed like so much of that show was imrpov and them trying not to laugh b/c they were having such a good time.
But that's the gift & curse of this era we live in where we want to know so much from every celebrity. 20 years ago, you probably couldnt find an interview with supporting characters.
....I think Fred just didn't want to do the show no more from what I remember about it ending,i know they have contracts but you can really tell sometimes when actors are just showing up and don't at least put forth the effort like they want to be there,maybe its hard to fake as actor when you hate your job just like it is for people in real life....Judging by the fact Lamont didn't come back when they tried to bring the show back a few years later maybe he didn't want to do it no more either for some reason...it was the 70's and 80's though,cocain was probably in the picture so I don't know if I can blame that for they shytty performances....everybody was doin that shyt from how it sounds in Hollywood
?Maybe we can compromise and say use it responsibly and in moderation
I don't know about Lamont but Fred had been doing cocaine long before those seasons and before he even got on the show allegedly....it may have led to him dying earlier than he should have though
I wanna cosign you on the staying away from drugs thing but then I think about music and the fact some of the best shyt has been made while our black entertainers was high on something
All I know is the final episode, you could see how the Demon had Martin Crack'd Out
...Season 1-4, up to the Love Boat episode, was a GOAT run for the show, tho
Martin tries to poke Cole eye out, and cast lose it: "Rent Em Spoons"
Yep.
I think Gina was the most easily replaceable person on the show. They could've flipped her like they did Aunt Viv and no one would trip at all.He was zonked out.

...he did have a violent side but i hate it turned him into the laid back person he is now,knowing the big personality he once was
