- the first 2-3 seasons are some of the best ever on tv. shyt i think their first season was 28 episodes, so they had enough to make it 4 seasons now a days. Fresh prince was cool, but martin is a top 2-3 tv comedy.

Fresh Prince is great but during its final seasons it became stale, will character did not show any growth, Calrton outshinned him. Even Marlon Wayan's character had a legit job on his show no matter how goofy he was. To the changes of mothers, Nicky and staleness, Martin hands down is goat. Even will copied martins gestures and steeze for his own show. Plus will is a little more "universal friendly" compared to Martin so I can see why fresh Prince is more of you guys favorite.

Fresh Prince was way better....
No one wants to "syndicate" Martin........
do you have a "whites only" cable provider? Martin reruns are on TVone and MTV2 all the time
Fresh Prince for me.

They're both classic shows. I can't choose. 
But since you're going to make me, the first three and a half seasons of Martin were hilarious as hell with high replay value.

Its not even close. I can only take so much Will Smith.

I was a kid when both were out so i gravitated more to fresh prince as that was the more “family friendly” show.
But now i’d say Martin was the better show easily.

Since the thread's already been bumped
I started watching Martin for the first time recently, I'm near the end of Season 2. I'm enjoying it but some of the humour feels very much of its time (it's clear they are different shows.) And some of the characters are lost on me, but that's okay, maybe the references are just before my time lol.
Various thoughts:
I love it when the actors almost break character, maybe because I watched these before I started watching the series. Tommy with the dog
Why does Martin hate on Pam like that?
And is the state of a lady's kitchen as significant to them as a man's hairline is to them?
Does Stan ever give anything other than abysmal advice?!
What are these jackets even called? These Salt-N-Pepa jackets
With all that said, I still (currently) prefer Fresh Prince
which for me has endless rewatch value. Beyond its broad appeal, this could just be because I grew up watching it.
