It's a special season finale, and the season wraps up just right. Trinidad appears, causes friction, and then we get to the 3-part Martin and Gina breakup saga, before ending the season with the absolutely hilarious David Alan Grier as Reverend Leon Lonnie Love, the crooked reverend who Gina attempts to expose. This leads into the greatest saga of Season 1, as Ms.
After the dead plumber episode, the show takes a small dive for a number of episodes, before picking back up with the episode where Gina and Martin are working together on the radio show and arguing. The first 5 episodes of the season were home runs, as Martin buying Gina a foot stool turned out to be much funnier than it should have been and the hilarity of Tommy falling for a woman that he didn't know that well also incited a ton of laughter. With season 1, there was a hit or miss feel as well, but more hits than misses I'd say. Season 5 is undoubtedly the worst of the Martin seasons. They tried their best to make it work, but aside from the first episode where Martin goes to get Gina a pregnancy test to find out if she's pregnant or not (she wasn't), and the Halloween episode where Martin dressed as Ike Turner, there aren't many noteworthy moments or episodes to speak of unfortunately. She missed a large portion of the season, and with that, the show suffered. What sticks out the most to me is the absence of Tisha Campbell after some issues between her and Martin arose and what followed from there. The season started off promising at first, with the whole season in some way centered around the need to create a child for Martin and Gina, but they would prove to be unsuccessful. This would tend to be the norm with most black sitcoms as they tend to lose their way sometimes in the later seasons, and due to lack of creativity in the plot and just straight up unfunny episodes, the final season of Martin truly missed the mark. So let's get into this list and ranking the seasons of Martin. So, today, I wanted to look at the show and every season, ranking it from the worst season (which we all know which one that was) to the greatest season of them all (tough choice). Tommy (RIP), Gina, Cole, Pam, Bruhman, and the number of characters that Martin played all kept us entertained throughout the show. From the adventures at WZUP all to the way to the success of Word On The Street, there was never a dull moment on Martin. For those who don't know, Martin is (in my opinion) the all time greatest sitcom and my personal favorite show ever.
For me, I found myself mostly captivated by the hilarious and adult centered humor of Martin. It provided an escape from the reality of the world and for those 30 minutes that your favorite sitcom was on, nothing else mattered. Throughout the 90s, black sitcoms were some of the most engaging things on television, some ripe with laughs, others able to blend laughs and social commentary within them.
In television, there are some shows that tend to just be iconic.
