Martin and Gina

I never thought I'd be sitting here crying while watching one of the most funny shows ever made. But I'm just sitting here wondering, Why did this show ever have to end?

Well I guess we all know why, but I don't want to think about that right now. All I want to do is wallow in my misery. I just got done watching the episode where they broke up over Gina's bad Valentine's gift. Remember that statue of the booty? Martin pretends to like it the night before but around Tommy and Cole he tries to act brand new and teases her about the gift. Gina says Martin's mom has a mustache. Then Martin says Gina's dad's ass is so tight he could back into a brick wall and suck out a brick. Man...good times. Then Gina says something to the affect of that's your ignorant opinion, but your mother's mustache...now that's a fact! Then she snaps her fingers and high-fives Pam.

What surprises me is that this show aired fifteen years ago and I can still recite lines word for word! But alas, all I can do is be sad right now. There hasn't been a show since that can compare! Remember though, right before the show ended there were those strange episodes where Martin and Gina weren't in any scenes together and Martin just looked sad and defeated? Why the hell did they even have to air those miserable episodes? Why?

Martin and Gina...my favorite TV couple ever...hands down. Oooo and yesterday I watched the episode with Ms. Trinidad!! The end scene still gives me chills when Ms. Trinidad tells Martin "I know you want me." and Gina says, "No bitch I want you." HA. And then she takes off her earrings and pulls out her sneakers and vaseline. Timeless.

I feel like a lot of shows with all Black casts these days are so corny and buffooneryish. While Martin had its share of pure foolishness, there's no denying Martin's comedic genius!

Kudos to TV One for bringing good Black shows back. And honorable mention goes to Living Single too. But it can't touch Marty-Mar.
