I honesly haven't watched martin more than a few episodes. I was too young during its original run and never bothered with the reruns for some reason. Does it stand the test of time? If the entire series is up on Netflix i'm gonna marathon this week

No My Wife and Kids? Bernie Mac show and Hanging With Mr.Cooper ahead of Family Matters? I love Boondocks but ahead of Good Times and Living Single?

how the fukk different world on top of martin? or good times?
because it is one of the best and most important shows ever.

Martin was an hilarious show, but A Different World was a much better program.

and they mentioned Roc :salute:



My Wife and Kids doesnt hold a candle to any of these shows, so I dont know why you all keep mentioning it.

It was in the 80's but by the 90's it was in kind of a lull. Martin kinda jump started it back, well that whole bloc really.
this is untrue. Must See TV started before Martin aired. Cheers and Seinfeld were already a juggernaut.


And Family Matters was a TV show that aged horribly.


The only thing I disagree with is the overrating of Living Single.

where they cross-over and clap boards
What the hell is Julia?

Whoever mentioned In My House :childplease:

I liked A Different World better when Lisa Bonet left, it was a very good show. I know why the Cobsy Show is #1 , everyone watched that show black and white just like the The Fresh Prince but Martin will always be #1 to me.

Niccas really disrespecting A Different World tho? I can't argue with it having any spot in the top 5. It was a movement at one point. It's deserves props off longevity alone.

What the hell is Julia?

Julia was the first primetime TV show that featured a black actress in the lead and as something other than a domestic. It starred Diahann Carol as a nurse and single mother and aired for 3 years on NBC.
