Is Martin overrated?

[Black_Samson]

I mean… what show has aged well? Don’t tell me the Cosby Show.



Martin is one of the goat sitcoms I will not stand for its slander.

largely shows with one location seem to age quite well.

Like Sanford and son
Cheers
Golden Girls
It’s always sunny
What’s Happening
The Desmonds

A different world

How do you age trash?

I’m doing it with Martin in this very thread

 

[O.G.]

So yall steadily talk about 90's hip hop here and how much you miss it but Martin is overrated bcuz it didn't age well? Make it make sense.

His debauchery was acted out instead of sung about

Left little to the imagination

Where as the vast majority of music at the time was still open to interpretation

That aspect is correct, id still say no show is completely above the “doesn’t age well” argument.

Same slang
Same clothes
Same topics
Same jokes

Shit, even the rappers were featured on his show.

Martin and 90's hip hop are tied together.

You can be tired of watching the reruns just like you can be tired of listening to Ready To Die but to say one is more outdated than the other is weird.

Man I fuckn hate that shit when it's used for Mocies/TV or Music

People for some reason have rewritten Martin to be only him making jokes about Pam which is a gross overstatement. I can see some not liking over the top physical comedy which the show had but to say it's terrible is just a lie.

 

[BlackRain]

I'd also say given what the cast has said about the show and the amount of improv they did in scenes and last minute changes due to Fox always fucking with their budget the show has become underrated

Even if it was, folks acting like that hasn't been a staple in sitcoms since the beginning.

Overrated doesn't mean wack ftr

 

[5th Letter]

Overrated doesn't mean wack ftr

I’ve never seen any context where overrated isn’t used as a slight.

 

[BlackRain]

It ain't a compliment. It's used to say it's not funny then folks try to say shit like The Wayans Bros was way better.

I’ve never seen any context where overrated isn’t used as a slight.

And that's not my problem

People don't use words correctly all the time.

I know saying overrated evokes a certain emotion but I know when I say it, I'm not calling it wack

If it's wack, I'm going to call it wack
