Season 4 was still good. Not as good as seasons 1-3 but still funny in its own right. The bedframe episode is top 10 all time.

Even season 5 is not as bad as people make it out to be. The first half is still some quality episodes.

I recently did a full series rewatch back in feb. Funniest sitcom EVER.

The main difference between seasons 4-5 and the first 3 is cole. Not the lack of gina. Cole was just too damn dumb for his own good as the series got older. Sometimes it led to good jokes. Sometimes it just felt forced.

That's why I say season 4 was bad. The lack of Cole really hit it...it has some good episodes...Love Connection I think was seas4, but the quality was clearly dipping. Plus Martin started axing his other characters. I guess too much drugs. By the time season 5 rolled around, it was a completely different feel of the show.

It's been said that she had been teasing him for quite some time. Even AFTER she started dating Duane Martin.

I guess people forgot they was both in all 3 House Party movies? Martin prolly been digging Gina out for years before Duane came up.

Yeah. Women may screw around with a guy for a while. Then, they find another dude and get serious, but keep the first guy "close enough"

This show/Martin in general has never been that funny to me. It's not anywhere close to fresh prince btw

Notice 6/8 of the ones u posted are from the first half.

People really overrate how bad season 5 is. The martin/gina split didnt happen til the second half. The first half of season 5 is just as funny as martin has always been.

Martin has maybe 8 episodes of wackness compared to 4 and half seasons of greatness. GOAT sitcom. Only one im putting over it is seinfeld.

My 5 year old knows all the words to the Fresh Prince intro:yeshrug:Kids will watch what their parents let them watch. Ain't no kid gonna watch Martin unless it's on BET or your parents have the DVDs. shyt isn't on TV like THAT anymore where it's accessible to everyone. Stop fronting.
What the fukk are you talking about? Martin is on daily on at least three different NATIONAL channels.
