Let’s settle this: Was ‘Martin’ a hood show or not?

You obviously didn’t watch Martin

The episode he got a satellite it literally shows the fire escape along with other episodes

This is why i say it was more low class than hood, we saw him work his way up to the top of the chain. A lot of episode dealt with financial issues and stuff like that. They had decent jobs but martin was sorta scrapping by. Just so we're clear, when I say low class I dont mean the quality of the show or w/e. I mean it was low class as in a look at ppl just scrapping by. Fresh Prince was the look at the high class side of the coin while Martin was a look at the low/lower middle class.

I would say Living Single was our version of Friends

Naw I disagree, I wouldnt say the word scrapping by. He lived within his means as an average single man earner working at a radio station. He was never portrayed as broke and struggling to live and was not trying to do "get rich quick" schemes every episode because he had to worry about paying bills and getting food on the table.

1) fukk c00nleel
2) Martin wasn't a hood show. hood shouldn't be synonymous with black ppl

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Martin was a show about young black people living life wrapped around Gina and Martin’s love affair. It’s not good at all. Jaleel need to chill,. It’s not our fault he starred on black Full House.

All of the best bits were of hood mentality.

Everybody saying yes is a damn clown.

Hood shows are just shows that appeals to people who grew up in the hood with relatable storylines and characters.

hood does not mean poor....the hood is not just poor people....its people wit all types of jobs

A hood show must be located in a hood and the majority of the characters must be relatable to that life style,,


the only real hood show I can think of is The PJs or south central.
some of these new ninjas probably don't know what PJ means

if a person grew up in the hood, you are going to see stuff, drugs,guns, prostitution,fights ,street clicks, crack head, litter, abandoned mattress, milk crate used as basketball goals etc

Sitcom "Roc" was a hood show. Clifton Powell played a drug dealer on that show. Never gave it a proper watch but there's clips on YouTube
