Martin is a sitcom that aired on FOX from 1992 to 1997. It stars Martin Lawrence as Martin Payne, a Detroit disc jockey who has various misadventures with his girlfriend (later wife) Gina (Tisha Campbell), homeboys Tommy (Thomas Mikal Ford) and Cole (Carl Anthony Payne II), and Gina's friend Pam (Tichina Arnold). For four seasons, it was one of FOX's most popular shows.And then it was discovered that Lawrence was abusing drugs. Even worse, Campbell sued him for sexual harassment. At that point, she refused to be in the same room as Lawrence, even when filming. Needless to say, the writers had a difficult time writing around this.note They basically had the couple interact by yelling from different rooms or talking on the phone with a split screen. This spelled the end of the series by the end of the 1996-1997 season. Still, reruns air on syndication all over the U.S.Not to be confused with the cult vampire film Martin (1977) by George A. Romero. | |

The Ghost | |
| Martin (1992) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Big Shirley, Cole's longtime girlfriend. By the end of the series, all the cracks that had been made about her size through the years made it pretty impossible for her to be portrayed onscreen by a real person. | |

Funny Background Event: In "Woman With a Past", when Gina sings a tender duet of Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack's "The Closer I Get To You" with her former boyfriend, singer Keith Washington, at first Martin is seen in the background annoyed and jealous, but he soon breaks down in tears, believing that he lost her to him. Cole, being Cole, thinks he's just touched by the song itself. | |

| Martin (1992) / int_27725a69 | comment |
In the beloved two-parter "Hollywood Swinging", Martin and his friends goes to Hollywood to appear on The Varnell Hill Show to get his big break and become rich. Unfortunately, Varnell is a complete egotistical joke thief who lied about having him on, leading to Martin interrupting a performance by Jodeci in revenge. | |

Small Name, Big Ego: Martin's radio show has its fans, but he's convinced that it's the number one show in the city. He often shouts his "WHAZZUP!!" Catchphrase in public, expecting people to recognize him. They usually don't. | |

My Own Private "I Do": Of the plan first, elope later variety. Due to their bickering relatives in general, and the overbearing Mama Payne in particular, Martin and Gina scrap their plans for their wedding and abscond to the Bahamas with Tommy and Pam.note Cole got on the wrong plane. They bounce just before walking down the aisle, in fact. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| Martin (1992) / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: "Going for Mine" seems to count, as it revolves around Pam, completely separate from the rest of the cast, taking on a A&R position and finding a singing talent played by Tyrese Gibson. The episode is also titled "Going for Mine," a pretty clear allusion. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Martin (1992) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In the first two seasons, Martin always kept a framed poster of Do the Right Thing in his living room. Lawrence made his film debut in that movie where he played Cee. When Christopher "Kid" Reid of Kid 'n Play and House Party fame guest starred in "Forever Sheneneh", Sheneneh begs him to kiss her "like the way he did with that light-skinned girl in House Party," referring to Tisha Campbell, of course. In "Housekeeper from Hell", when Miss Minnie interviews for the housekeeping job, Martin mentions apartment 227, while Gina mentions the Jeffersons. Marla Gibbs, Miss Minnie's actress, starred in both 227 and The Jeffersons. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A whole episode is dedicated to this. It's Martin's birthday, and no one wants to show up to his party because he's abrasive. Throughout, contrasting clips are shown of Martin's meaner and kinder sides. Turns out it was all a trick to get him to come to a surprise party. | |

Cole's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Big Shirley, was seen, but she was an attractive and svelte woman rather than the large and faceless implied Gonk that she was in the later episodes. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| Martin (1992) / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: In "Crunchy Drawers", Martin is terrorized by erotic nightmares about Pam. When told that dreams can indicate repressed desires, he panics even harder. Ultimately, it's subverted; Martin forces himself to see the dreams through, and they end with him gleefully murdering Pam! Across town, Pam has similar dreams. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Martin (1992) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Martin and Gina were an onscreen, loving couple who had strong chemistry. Unfortunately, given the real life backstage drama between Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell, they were rarely seen together in the latter half of the final season and much of their (and the show's) magic was gone. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| Martin (1992) / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: Martin keeps a framed poster of Do the Right Thing in his living room, yet no one seems to notice how he looks so much like Cee, the character Lawrence portrayed in that film. Christopher "Kid" Reid, Lawrence and Campbell's co-star in the first two House Party movies, guest stars in "Forever Sheneneh". He doesn't notice how much Martin resembles his friend Bilal or how much Gina resembles his character's Love Interest Sydney. In another episode, Martin watches School Daze on TV and wants to see the scene where "the light-skinned girl lick that guy's head." The girl in question is played by Campbell. Probably the most complex example is where Martin receives a handheld TV and comments that he can now see Def Comedy Jam and "the Martin show." What Martin show? | |

Talk Show Appearance | |
| Martin (1992) / int_8b5801b2 | comment |
Talk Show Appearance: In the beloved two-parter "Hollywood Swinging", Martin and his friends goes to Hollywood to appear on The Varnell Hill Show to get his big break and become rich. Unfortunately, Varnell is a complete egotistical joke thief who lied about having him on, leading to Martin interrupting a performance by Jodeci in revenge. Although Martin has his own public access talk show in the latter half of the series, he still has to audition for a spot. In turn, he and his friends all submit a tape of him hosting a mock talk show and shoehorning in the usual fare, including painting Gina as embezzling funds from her job and Pam as a man. | |

Cargo Cult: A long spell of unemployment depresses Martin, and he takes off in secret for a place called "The Golden Palace," where subjects worship Brother Rock and seek "to see the light, and to get yourself right." Everything about the cult itself is Played for Laughs, but the conflict between Gina and Martin is genuine; Gina is sincerely upset when Martin initially refuses to leave the cult and come home with her. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Martin (1992) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Do the Right Thing poster in Martin's living room as well as a reference to the film where Martin, who's been fired from his radio job by the new manager, throws a small trash can at the window just like how Mookie smashes the window at the pizzeria, but with no effect. Martin says "It looked fly when Spike did it." Another occurs in the episode "Suspicious Minds" where Martin had himself and his friends dressed in black and sitting around a table to emulate a scene from New Jack City to confront them on who took his expensive CD player. Martin even does the "SIT YO FIVE DOLLAR ASS DOWN OR I'LL MAKE CHANGE!" line. In one episode, Martin and the guys hold a seance. Their chanting goes off on a tangent, and the group starts quoting the chant from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". | |

Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation | |
| Martin (1992) / int_dfb77c08 | comment |
Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation: More than one episode is dedicated to trying to figure out what Tommy does for a living. Pam doesn't even know even after she becomes his girlfriend. | |

The Ditz | |
| Martin (1992) / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: "Cole? You stupid." Bruh Man isn't too bright. One subplot involves him and Martin planning to sell t-shirts outside of a Whitney Houston concert. Bruh Man makes the shirts. They end up running for their lives from people who got tricked into buying shirts for the "Whitty Huton Wuld Toor." Shanice, Cole's girlfriend. How stupid is she? Even Cole is dumbstruck by her stupidity in the series' finale when she didn't get that Cole was trying to propose to her. | |

Ham-to-Ham Combat | |
| Martin (1992) / int_eb0df85e | comment |
Ham-to-Ham Combat: Frequently, especially whenever Martin (or any of his characters) is onscreen. He and Pam are constantly engaged in this, particularly when they both were fighting off the "puppy" while they and their friends were on vacation. Him and late night talk show host Varnel Hill, but then again, Martin vs. Tommy Davidson could only be this. In "Holiday Blues", Martin and Miss Jerri, an elderly woman, end up wrestling with each other at a bus station over loose change. | |

Jerkass: Sheneneh. She seems to live to pick fights with Gina and Pam. Martin can be selfish or stubborn to extremes. And let's not forget his habit of throwing people out of his house. | |

Baldness Mockery: A Running Gag has Martin repeatedly insulting Tommy over his bald head. Some of the more colorful comments made by him include "Domer Simpson", "Heady Murphy", "Dome Ranger", and "Kareem Abdul Jabald". | |

Law of Inverse Fertility: Martin and Gina panic when she has a pregnancy scare, but just as they warm up to the idea of having kids, it turns out she wasn't pregnant after all and they're deeply disappointed. | |

Clean, Pretty Childbirth: An episode lampshaded this while Leaning on the Fourth Wall. A woman gave birth to what was obviously a baby doll that Martin caught in a catcher's mitt. When Tommy asked about the umbilical cord, Martin said "We don't need an umbilical cord! This is TV!" | |
