Martin is a popular American sitcom that aired on FOX between 1992 and 1997. The show centers around Martin Payne, played by comedian and actor, Martin Lawrence, a charismatic DJ with a big personality whose wisecracking demeanor often causes him trouble with his girlfriend, Gina, played by Tisha Campbell.

The series is set in Detroit, Michigan, and features a range of supporting characters, including Martin's best friend, Tommy, played by Thomas Mikal Ford, and his other close friends, Cole Brown, played by Carl Anthony Payne II, and Pam James, played by Tichina Arnold. The show also features notable guest appearances by a range of iconic celebrities, including Christopher "Kid" Reid from Kid 'n Play and legendary rapper, Snoop Dogg.

With its catchy theme song, witty humor, and memorable characters, Martin quickly became a fan favorite during its run on FOX. The show is known for its hilarious physical comedy, including Martin's iconic alter ego, Sheneneh Jenkins, an over-the-top character that Martin often embodied for laughs.

The show also tackled a range of social issues, including gender roles, racism, and relationships. Martin and Gina's romantic relationship was often a source of entertainment and drama for viewers, and the show's exploration of the ups and downs of their partnership struck a chord with many fans.

Another standout aspect of the show is its strong supporting cast. Tommy's dry wit and deadpan delivery provide a counterbalance to Martin's zaniness, while Cole's well-meaning but often clueless nature is always good for a laugh. Pam's sharp tongue and quick wit make her a fan favorite, and the chemistry between the four characters is one of the show's greatest strengths.

Overall, Martin is a classic sitcom that has stood the test of time. Its combination of humor, heart, and social commentary make it a must-watch for fans of classic television. For those who missed its initial run on FOX or want to revisit the show, Watch Martin Online is a great way to catch up on all the laughs and drama.
