So-So Solid Season

This is actually a pretty solid season considering the controversy and the so-called sexual harrassment that Tisha filed, supposedly. I watched that second episode of this season and it didn't look like she had such a problem with it, hair all messed up and whatnot. Besides, she was in more episodes; actually half the season she was in more episodes so I don't know how credible her story is.
This season could've been way worse without her but after all, it is Martin Lawrence's show and he held it up on his own with the supporting cast. Everybody else in the principal cast got more room to breath and shine. It would've been nice to see more of his other characters, although the 2nd time that Sheneneh came up was in my one of my favorite episodes where she tries to sue Tommy as Mark Cooper as her lawyer. David Alan Grier came back. This season went off without a hitch.

But....

i could tell from the first episode that things were different, the energy was different, the chemistry was different and Martin was different. Then about the second disc in, he looked and acted a little too TOO serious with his facial expressions, there was almost a darkness to him or something. Some of the episodes and material was a bit too weak like the halloween episode with haunted house, the episode where the marriage license is wrong and the white girl episode. I could tell by the second disc that they were starting to run out of ideas but like i said it could've been worse and Martin held up pretty well. So it gets a solid four from me. October 28, 2008

It's So Haaard, To Say Goodbyyye...

Like a few others have stated before me, I'm only buying this to complete my collection. The sad part is, I've been telling myself 'don't even bother!', but because I love Martin (and all the cast) so much, I have to complete the collection. It saddens me to know that Martin and Gina had issues and ultimately, it destroyed the show. I really wished they could've worked things out but, I understand that people have to do what they feel is best (whether it was Martin or Gina). This season still had some funny episodes though and I'm looking forward to revisiting them. Also, Pam did her best to carry the show from the female perspective, so kudos to her. I believe that's why she's an addition to the cover and not one of Martin's alter ego's. I personally feel they could have put a better picture of her on the cover!!! Martin & Cast, if you're reading this, a comeback would be nice! Hey, Cosby did it...lol. You definately have an audience out there. But if you decide to make a comeback, you betta come correct!!! Miss you guys. October 13, 2008

Sad Farewell

During this season the bottom fell out. Because all drama between Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell it started to affect the show. I have purchased this to complete my collection. There are few good ones such as Sophmore Jinx and You Play Too much. But if you are a Martin fan have a good time with the other seasons. October 13, 2008
