Tommy Davidson's character on Martin, Varnell Hill, is Getting His Own Show

[GreenGhxst]

I think it's a 30 years too late

Entertainment really run out of creative ideas.

They're playing it way too safe because money is the primary motivation

 

[mson]

Out of all characters? Dumb

What other characters could it have been?

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Jo duh ceeee!!

But no.

 

[Still Benefited]

They should’ve came out with a dark Martin like they did bel air…maybe make breh man a serial killer breaking into ppls apartments…or making Tommy a pedo…or a Stan a broke down pimp…or dragonfly jones running a dojo that’s a front for a meth ring

No thank you

But they could be doing this Varnell Hill show like that. Only way i see it working really. Cant imagine it being hilarious as a sitcom style show in 2025. Maybe it will be more like "Empire". Yeah,its probably going to be trash

That’s crazy, I didn’t know that. Breh was insanely talented.

Yup. Bugged out when I found out too. Son was on crack thru most of In Living Color.

I mean a funny sitcom in 2025 can work if done right. The Neighborhood is a good example of that. But I just don’t see Tommy even remotely having the same charisma as he did back then.

What other characters could it have been?

Maybe someone in more than one episode

 

[Turtle]

Damn 80 years later

 

[mson]

[MrLogic]

[MrLogic]

Lmaoooooo NOBODY asked for this.
