    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In season five, Tisha Campbell-Martin filed a sexual harassment case against Martin Lawrence. Based on reports, Lawrence would make advances at her in addition to groping and kissing Campbell during rehearsals and filming, despite her repeated refusals. Over the years, his behavior became more manic and violent. Only the first 10 episodes of Season five had shared scenes between the Martin and Gina characters. Additionally, Carl Anthony Payne II had personal issues with Lawrence. His character Cole did not appear in several episodes during the last season.

    One of the Funniest Sitcoms Ever
    Martin Lawrence is absolutely hilarious in this show; the rest of the cast is extremely funny as well. Martin's physical humor is great, this is maybe the only sitcom that has so frequently made me laugh out loud--really hard. Anytime Martin goes nuts over something he starts making all these weird faces and starts jumping and running around, and it's incredibly, ridiculously funny, and it seems to happen nearly every episode. Watch the reruns that come on late night on USA, you won't be disappointed.
