Members classicmoment Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 This show is so underappreciated it is not even funny. Another one of my favorite comedies. Classic. The cast just gems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 One of the first sitcoms I saw in it's first run. Martin paid a lot of homage to other sitcoms of the past, LaWanda Page, Marla Gibbs and Richard Moll had guest appearances. The episode that I enjoyed the most was the one where Martin's mother's bird died while Gina was watching it and Mrs. Payne threw a fit. And also the one where Miss Jeri fought with Martin over a sandwich, only to stomp on it after he decided to give it to her. "I don't eat no damn tuna".

Members Cheap21 Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think my favorite episode was when Gina was indebted to Shenehneh and the only way for her to pay up was to work at her hair salon...lol. Her feud with Pam was classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yes and yes Redd, love those both (RIP Miss Gerri... I got so tickled when I went to her IMDb and saw that she was credited as "Screaming Mourner in Funeral" in the MLK miniseries "King" ). <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFid7lORyaE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFid7lORyaE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFid7lORyaE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I can't believe the woman who played Miss Gerri was around 70 then. She's doing high kicks and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I know! She died soon after the show ended, I hope Martin hadn't roughed her up too bad. But it did sound like she never met a Newport she didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Whade made the show so great was the recurring characters. They really helped give Martin's world favor Ms. Geri Shenneneh Bruh-man...I love how he would just randomly come into Martin's apartment through the fire escape, go get a sandwich and leave without talking Keylolo Jerome Roscoe and so much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
