Why isnt Martin considered a "new black" or "c00n" show?

[TheSpook]

AGAIN

Neither was hip hop.

but, I digress.

During his stint with Def Comedy Jam, Lawrence appeared in his own hit series, Martin, which aired on Fox TV.[2] The show ran from 1992 to 1997 and was an enormous success. Martinwas the flagship of Fox's Thursday-night line-up, which drew millions of viewers away from NBC's "Must See TV" line-up. He hosted Saturday Night Live on February 19, 1994, where he made crude remarks about women's genitalia and personal hygiene; the monologue was completely edited out of NBC reruns and syndicated versions, and Lawrence was banned from the show for life. Martin's ratings continued to skyrocket so much that Fox became more of a contender against NBC and came closer to being considered among the top television networks.
Yeah, I'm sure only Black people watched arguably the 2nd biggest show at the time.

Have you met a white person that liked Martin? I have never in my 30 plus years of life. Dont lie and say you have some cac buddy who loved Martin. That comedy is lost on them.

I was gonna make the seinfeld comparison but someone already beat me to it they did equally dumb shyt all the time and the characters damn near mirrored each other


both are in my top 5 GOAT shows but if martin is c00nin for us then seinfeld is c00nin for them and shouldnt be praised either the sheer amount of Jew jokes and stereotypes in seinfeld cmon fam

Y'all keep acting like Martin is the pinnacle of black television achievement, and the "GOAT siticom" but Im surprised the show hasnt raised y'all ire given the coli militant standards, and yall collective ability to turn everything into degradation of the black race:

The central character is Martin, who is unserious, unfocused, unintelligent and lives so far off on the economic margins that he can only afford a modest apt in a low income area of detroit, which could be a housing project if you look at the building and those who live there hard enough.

Martin, of course, plays a host of characters who are all dumber than the next. One is a female named 'Sheneneh' (black male emasculation? gay agenda?), who seems to be written with the sole intent of maxing out on every bad black woman stereotype ever invented.

His two best friends are Cole and Tommy. The former is a barely functioning retard, and the latter is best known for not having a job.

Martin's girlfriend is Gina, who enjoyed the best written character on the show. She's extremely bright, and the only one thats clearly college educated. She's successful, not promiscuous, logical, the emotional and moral anchor in almost every situation, and always the voice of reason amongst a sea of idiots. And also not so coincidentally she was the lightest person on the show --- her skin so light in fact she was practically racially ambiguous.

Pam is Gina's best friend. Her character isnt too offensive, but she was clearly written to serve as Gina's inferior and chosen as Martin's foil for a reason. She gets by on her sex appeal and little else --- certainly not her integrity, which is always painted as being low to non-existent.

The rest of the show is filled out by a motley crew of aimless low lifes --- bruh man? hustle man? Stan, the station manager at WZUP????

I know its just a show designed for jokes, but logic like that hasnt stopped ya'll before. What gives?

Martin had a good job and a nice apt.

The country just wasn't as sensitive in the 90s and earlier as it is today. I have noticed a lot of shyt on old sitcoms that wouldn't fly today.

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

It's only a c00n show if your an insecure black

 

[GPBear]

Give da feminist shyt a rest for 2 seconds. Good grief, nikka.

What does feminism have to do with me thinking that Living Single was superior in every way to Martin? My opinion was shared with the majority of black households since Living Single began airing as it bested Martin in the ratings at every turn.
