[edit] Trivia
In the episode where Martin and Gina have bachelor parties, BOTH of Martin's sisters, Ursula and Rae, can be seen as two of Gina's friends at her bachelorette party. They are both sitting next to each other on the ottoman closest to the kitchen in Pam's apartment (I'm not sure which is which). One is in a gray outfit and the other one is in a black outfit, but they both resemble Martin Lawrence.Maestclev 22:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Maestclev
who edited this page recently. Someone got rid of Laqueta from Martin. leave it alone. It was fine as is and it wasn't a spoiler either. No information before the edit spoiled the show. stop exaggerating and getting rid of character descriptions. and get rid of that drag for sheneneh. it sounds transexual or transvestite

- Um, Shenehneh WAS Martin in drag. NickBurns 19:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Opinion
Some parts of this article seem a little opinionated, particularly in the paragraph discussing the various characters portrayed by Campbell (unsigned comment)
- I don't think anything is opinionated (another unsigned comment)
[edit] Characters to add
Can someone add the two characters that Martin worked with on the radio show. I don't remember there names but I remember there faces. There was that older guy from the Jamie Foxx show and then Martin also worked with that white dude from his radio show. Does anyone know the names of these characters. If you do, can you add them here so I can ass them to the page or could you add them yourself. thank you (unsigned comment)
- Stan was his boss and Sean was his engineer. (unsigned comment)
- Oh yea! I remember now. I forgot all about those guys. Thank you for adding them to the page 65.31.99.71 08:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page redirect
This page needs to be redirected to Martin and not Martin TV series. Martin TV series sounds so funny (unsigned comment)
[edit] Missing Characters
Another "character" that Martin played on this show was "King B" the furry-chested "artist" who always had to dance. He was only seen in videos. His phrase was "But first! I must dance!" and then he dances while the girls root him on chanting "go King B! Go King B!" I believe Lawrence did this at least twice.Maestclev 22:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Maestclev
Other recurring minor characters include Myra (Stan's one-time girlfriend) played by BeBe Drake. She was in at least three episodes: 1). The episode where Martin and Gina hang out with Stan and Myra because Martin exposed one of Pam's secrets on the radio putting he and Gina at odds with their friends. 2). the episode where Gina loses Martin's basketball tickets and has to earn some from Sheneneh by working in her salon for a day. Myra was one of Sheneneh's customers. 3). the episode where Martin shows up at the unemployment line. Myra is working there and she's the one who gives him his job assignments.Maestclev 22:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Maestclev
"Angry man" is a very minor recurring character. He's definitely in the episode where Martin was unemployed. He tells MArtin to sit his ass down while at the unemployment office. I believe he was in another episode (maybe the shoe store episode with Pam and Gina's straight male friend), but I can't remember which.Maestclev 22:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Maestclev
Other minor recurring characters include the older Latina woman who ran the TV station and gave Martin his first job there. Bernice, her assistant, played by Kymberly Newberry. The younger Latina woman who eventually took over the TV station who was allegedly related to the first woman who ran the station. Then there are the two waitresses from Nipsey's (one of them played by Kellita Smith from THE BERNIE MAC SHOW). There's also LIL DAWG (the light-skinned, coke-bottle glass wearing guy with the shag perm), BUCK WHITE (white guy with an Afro) and that woman who always showeed up drunk and/or stoned. There's also the tall, unnamed effeminate gay man played by Bentley Kyle Evans, who was one of the show's producers.Maestclev 22:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Maestclev
Wheres "Brotha Man" I still bust a gut when I think of the episode that involves the Whitney Houston concert --Bushido Brown 06:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Another missing character is Mr. Jim & "Binoculars from the barbershop. "Angry Man"(DMV&Nipseys) "Aggravated Man"(Movie theater) -TP
[edit] Dang Gina
Are you all sure Martin said "Dang Gina" and not "Damn Gina"? I find it hard to believe that Martin would have used the word "dang". 68.161.182.40 08:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)AR
Pam said "Dang Gina", Martin said "Damn Gina". 69.209.167.133 18:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Guest Apps
If you are not a real fan of the show and don't know all of the special guests that appeared in the show quit editing it. John Amos played Tommy's Father and Reggie McFadden had starred in an entire episode although he doesnt have a wikipage. (unsigned comment)
Original link to Yo-Yo lead to the toy and not the person. I felt it was necessary to change it since she does have a wikipage. Wkandy26 17:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bravo
This is a really well-done and comprehensive page. Martin's one of my all-time fave shows. Keep up the good work. Jyroberson 22:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NBA Player who's favorite show is Martin
This is truly a strange phenomena that deserves it's place in this entry. NBA players young and old have consistently listed Martin as their favorite show despite it having been canceled over 10 years ago. It's as if no tv show has existed since. The sheer amount of sourced players alone shows that it warrants attention. So long as it's sourced, it ought to stay. 192.18.128.5
- No, this isn't encyclopedic. These informations even sourced aren't encyclopedic. If we list all famous people who like or don't like a show, these pages will be a mess. Please stop immediatly (I read the ESPN blog too). Poppypetty 20:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I recorded all of these myself for posterity and due to the circumstances this is absolutely encyclopedic. The fact that a famous people enjoy something may not be, but when an overwhelming population of a distinct group all individually list an appreciation of something so random, it's notable. Please stop undoing others hard work. And the fact that it was linked from an espn site should have no bearing on the matter since this list is the sole product of a single person work, not a mass community trying to spam a listing.

[edit] Errors
Miss Jeri wasn't in the line at the unemployment office. The unemployment office line episode features Martin being called out by ANGRY MAN and a minor confrontation with an unnamed man. Miss Jeri got into it with Martin in the DMV episode and in the Christmas episode where Martin and Gina were stuck in the bus station.
Shawn (Jon Gries) might've been "fired" when WZUP/WEHA got shut down, but he was eventually rehired as the guy who goes into the station and changes the tapes. He and Martin had a conversation in the season 2 finale at the radio station. In fact, Shawn is the one who inspires Martin to take off at the end of the episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maestclev (talk • contribs) 16:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
