The Pop Culture Icon That Was TGIF

 September 22nd, 2024 marks 35 years of TGIF, the ABC Friday night block of sitcoms that ran originally for 11 years ending in 2000. It was so successful though it was revived on two different occasions first in 2005 and again in 2018, but neither was nowhere near as successful as the original run.

TGIF which most people know as "Thank God It's Friday" was instead known in this instance as "Thank Goodness It's Friday". The 2 hour block is well known for gracing our screens with sitcoms such as Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Step By Step, Boy Meets World and the list goes on and on.

While rival network NBC had it's Thursday night block of sitcoms called Must See TV for the adults, TGIF was the place to be for everyone else. Especially as a kid during the 90's where on demand wasn't a thing, and the internet was in its infancy. Sitting in front of the TV watching those sitcoms was the place to be.

Oh man if my mom had errands to run and I had no choice but to tag along. I always mentioned TGIF comes on tonight, like I had any real control of anything lol. For most people it was a routine, order takeout after a long week of school or work sometimes both, visit Blockbuster to get a newly released movie for the weekend and get home before 8:00 pm.

The night usually started of the catchy TGIF theme song to get the mood right. The block would have cast members from the sitcoms being "hosts" for the night. With interstitial between commercials commenting on the line up for the night. They even had occasional crossover episodes between the sitcoms. Looking back some of the storylines and acting were definitely on the cheesy side a very 90's staple, but we as audiences cared about the characters in the sitcoms and not just for one or two shows, but usually all that aired in that block. 

When a sitcom on a different night wasn't successful but the network had hopes for it, they found a way to get it on Fridays. When ABC cancelled Family Matters and Step By Step, CBS scooped them up and kickoff their own Friday block of sitcoms, hoping to replicate the success of TGIF.

It's really hard to quantify in words just how much TGIF ruled back in the 90's. Even in the late 90's and early 2000's when it was starting to fade, it still had it's loyalist who tuned in to whatever was associated with that block. The heavy hitter sitcoms that were known for being on TGIF are still heavily played on syndication and streaming, which is a testament to how successful those shows were and the legacy of the block. 

It truly was a special time in TV land, and with the way networks and streaming services are now will never be replicated. TGIF was a pop culture icon and you had to be there to truly appreciate it.

Ten Shows You Forgot Were Apart Of TGIF

 It's 35 years of  TGIF, a staple for many families during the 90's. We all know sitcom classics like Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, and Boy Meets World that aired on the TV Block. TGIF ran for 11 years and to go along with those classics, there were a few duds. Then there were sitcoms, that weren't terrible but weren't necessarily great. Then there's one's you completely forgot aired on TGIF, here are ten sitcoms you may not remember being apart of the block.

10. Going Places

A standard yet interesting concept for a TV series Going Places followed four young Hollywood writers who share a house, while they try to make it. It starred Heather Locklear, Alan Ruck, and lesser known names but hey I know that face Jerry Levine and Hallie Todd (Lizzie Mcguire's mom). It debuted September 21, 1990 and lasted until March of 1991. It likely did not fit into the family themed sitcoms that were major successes for TGIF at the time. 

9. Just The Ten Of Us

Just The Ten Of Us was a ABC sitcom that actually debuted before TGIF was created. Debuting in 1988, it was a spin-off of Growing Pains that followed a couple as they raised their eight kids (damn eight kids). The father Graham Lubbock (Bill Kirchenbauer) is the gym teacher at the same catholic high school, his oldest daughters attend. Which of course bought it's own hijinks to the sitcom. It also starred Heather Lagenkemp who is best known from the Nightmare on Elm Street films as Nancy. The series actually lasted for 3 seasons, and was a staple in the sitcom rerun world of USA network back in the day. It just didn't sustain enough of a legacy to be remembered as being a part of TGIF.

8. Baby Talk

Loosely based on the hit film series Look's Who Talking, Baby Talk followed a few plot points with the film. The baby's name was Mikey, this time voiced by Tony Danza, his mother Maggie is a single mom as Mikey's father refused to leave his wife for her. That's pretty much where the similarities stopped, while George Clooney and later Scott Baio joined the cast, two different actresses portrayed Maggie over it's two seasons and I don't remember the show being very funny. Which is why it has become forgotten to time.

7. Where I Live

Where I Live starred Doug E. Doug followed Doug a typical teenager along with his best friends Reggie (Flex Alexander) and Malcolm (Shaun Baker) living in Harlem. Along with the clashes he experiences with his hardworking immigrant parents. It debuted as a mid-season replacement in March of 1993, but wasn't a ratings hit. It bounced around on days, but truly wasn't given a chance to make a statement on TGIF.

6. Odd Man Out

Odd Man Out debuted September 24, 1999 as TGIF was starting to lose it's gripe on pop culture. It starred Erik Von Detten as the only male in the house with his mom, aunt and three sisters. The series followed Von Detten's character Andrew, as he tries to be the man of the house while trying to get some teenage privacy in a house full of women. It only lasted 13 episodes, but being as though TGIF was in decline at the time it never stood a chance.

5. The Hughleys

Comedian D.L. Hughley finally got his own sitcom in the fall of 1998 with The Hughleys. Featuring D.L. as a vending machine entrepreneur raising his family in the suburbs. The first season was a huge success for ABC, the second season experienced a drop in ratings before it was cancelled, where the show was then picked up by UPN. Which I think is where most people remember watching it.

4. On Our Own

On Our Own debuted September 13, 1994 on TGIF and is best remembered for starring the Smollet siblings. Jurnee Smollet was best known for her appearances on Full House as Michelle's best friend Denise, while brother Jussie was best known for his role in the classic 1992 film Mighty Ducks. The other four siblings weren't known, but that didn't stop ABC from giving them their own sitcom. It featured the siblings, alongside Ralph Harris as their older brother Josh who are raising themselves since their parents passed. Josh dresses up in drag as a older aunt, to keep the hounds of child protective services away and splitting up the family. 

The series didn't catch on which is a shame because it actually had a strong message.

3. Two Of A Kind

A couple years after Full House ended, ABC decided to try and strike gold again with the Olsen twins. This time as twin sisters getting into mischief while their widowed dad and college professor Kevin tried to keep everything in order. Along for the ride is Carrie, a student of Kevin's at the university and babysitter to the twin's. The show wasn't horrible, but not sure it's what audiences wanted from the Olsen twins at the time. It debuted in September of 1998 and was cancelled in 1999 after one season. It played on Fox Family later ABC Family for a little in reruns, which is where most people probably discovered it.

2. Clueless

There is absolutely no question the 1995 film Clueless is a classic, it has held up to this day and if it's on and I'm busy I will watch it. After the mega success of the film, a TV series was developed and debuted September 20, 1996 on ABC. Stacey Dash, Donald Fasion, Elisa Donovan, Twink Caplan, and Wallace Shaw were the only main cast remembers to reprise their roles. While Sean Holland who had one scene in the movie, gained a bigger role. Rachel Blanchard took over the role of Cher.

The series followed in the footsteps of the movie, as the characters seemed even more clueless. It was a moderate success on TGIF, but was cancelled after two seasons. Then suddenly the repeats over the summer were ratings hits, and UPN picked the show up for two additional seasons. Then syndication followed, where even more people watched the show. Forgetting it's mild success all started on TGIF.

1. Sister, Sister

April 1, 1994 Sister Sister debuted on ABC in the TGIF block. We all know the story, two sisters separated at birth find each other in a mall and their respective single parents, agree to move in the same house and raise them jointly. The series ran for two seasons ABC, but was cancelled in 1995 when the new upstart WB network picked the series up and it found success. Running for a total of 6 seasons, most people probably saw the show on the WB network or in syndication, but it all started right on the historic block known as TGIF.

New York Undercover Legacy 30 Years Later

 

In the early 90's TV network Fox was catering to teenagers and the urban community to fill a void the big three weren't fulfilling, and help build their network. They had show's like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place for one side of the aisle. For the hipper side of the aisle they had In Living Color, Martin, and Living Single. In 1994 legendary cop TV producer Dick Wolf and legendary record executive Andre Harrell collaborated for a hip new cop television drama. And a show named Uptown Undercover better known as New York Undercover was born.

September 8, 1994 New York Undercover aired on Fox Thursday Night's alongside Martin and Living Single. The show was notable for showcasing two minority cops as partners Det. Eddie Torres a Puerto Rican cop played Michael DeLorenzo, and Det. JC Williams a Black cop played by Malik Yoba. The show took the DNA of 80's cop drama Miami Vice and enhanced it for a new generation. Det. Williams and Det. Torres were hip young cops, in tune with the fashion and music of the streets while they saved New York City from it's worst criminals. They truly cared about one another and their families and bickered like brothers do.

What really helped make the show was not just the clothes or the dialogue and swagger of the characters. It was the music, including the theme song and instrumentals that were composed by Mr. James Mtume of the group Mtume (Juicy Fruit). Many episodes featured music of stars of the time whether it was a guest character, playing themselves involved in a storyline or performing at the nightclub Natalie's. A who's who of artist appeared on the show.

We're talking artist like Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, Boyz II Men, New Edition, Tevin Campbell, Usher, Gladys Knight, The O'Jays, Levert, Montell Jordan, Aaliyah, Biggie Smalls. It goes on and on, not to mention Ice-T's in my opinion classic scene chewing run as Danny Cort in excellent 90's run as a TV villain. 

30 year's later, New York Undercover is still adored and revered for the pulse it had on the culture at the time.  Between the action and drama, the stakes the character's were up against. And then the fashion and music of hip hop which is slowly turning into a global phenomenon at the time. The series is a classic and can be relived through streaming services Peacock and Prime, and has shown up on BET recently. It's a reason for that, because the show was that damn good and is following getting the flowers it deserves.

New York Undercover 10 Best Episodes

New York Undercover celebrates 30 years this week. Despite only lasting 4 seasons and season 4 being a serious dud, it is a well revered show amongst the culture. I've decided to highlight the ten best episodes of the series in this blog, so here we go.

10. Digital Underground 

In 1995 the internet then commonly known as the world wide web was still in it's infancy, an extreme luxury for anyone to have. New York Undercover was ahead of the curve focusing an episode on the rise of the internet and at the time chat rooms. With Lt. Cooper's daughter going missing after meeting a stranger she met on the internet. The internet is ingrained in our lives now and the same danger resides with meeting strangers online, just now social media is the culprit. Which makes this episode one of the best during it's run.

9. High On The Hog

The first episode of season 2 is a standout amongst the series. It covers a still underrepresented group within the culture, bikers and motorcycle gangs. They are not only Black bikers but they are also geniuses.

The episode also introduces Det. Nina Morenos who partners with Eddie in J.C.'s absence. The series wastes no time getting sparks to fly between those two. While J.C. is still grieving from his fiancée's death and trying to remind everyone how good of a detective he is. Henry Simmons appears in this episode, along with a brief cameo from comedian Debra Wilson, and again this features a subculture within the Black community that doesn't get much love. 

8. Student Affairs

This episode features a topic that is still timely 30 years later, high school violence the reasons behind it and the consequences that come with it. Jealousy, street cred and respect, fighting over females, the haves and the have nots, the list goes on and on. A high school murder leads to Det. Williams and Det. Torres going undercover in a high school where a murder occurred. The episode also starts the storyline of Det. Torres injuries from a previous episode and his slow decline to addiction. 

Fredro Starr guest stars in this role as a high school troublemaker (did he ever play any other role?), and Eartha Kitt as a fiery high school principal. The ending also introduced Naomi Campbell as the new love interest of Det. Williams Simone. 

7. Brotherhood

This season 2 episode features JC posing as a college freshman joining a fraternity to investigate a murder. While the original suspects appear to be a racist group on campus, Williams must contend with a fellow white officer also undercover he doesn't trust. Privilege, racism, and hatred among your own people are focal points of this episode. As viewers learn throughout the episode, sometimes it be your own people.

6. The Highest Bidder

                                            

If you ever wondered why newborn wards are so secure in hospitals, this episode helps explain why. In this season 2 episode, the detectives investigate a black market baby ring. Mom's delivers her baby and is paid handsomely and taken care of to give up the rights to her baby, allowing extremely wealthy families the opportunity to adopt them. It's a very real world issue that in 1995 wasn't talked about enough, this episode showed the lengths some people will go to in order to be parents.

5.  You Gets No Respect

This season one episode looking back sadly foreshadowed where rap was headed embracing the culture of violence and beefs amongst artist. It features J.C. going undercover as a member of an old friend who happens to be a rapper. While they try to uncover who murdered another rapper.

Sticky Fingaz with his over the top acting plays J.C.'s friend and rapper Khalil. Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, Treach, Ed Lover and Dr. Dre, and Biggie Smalls all appear in this episode. Which is probably the most direct episode involving the hip hop and rap culture. It also maintains an intriguing whodunit aspect throughout the entire episode.

4. CAT

This season 1 episode introduced audiences to the series most emotional story arc and biggest villain. Danny Cort played by Ice-T a chemistry Wiz who is also a rising kingpin for a new street drug. Ice-T does more than his fair share of scene chewing in this episode. Det. Torres goes undercover as a chemist working in Cort's organization to take him down. The pair are successful but they haven't seen the last of Mr. Danny Cort.

3.Catman Comes Back

Which leads us to a few 7 episodes later,  the final episode of season 1 when Danny Cort makes his return. Released from prison he starts his enterprise back up, but when his brother is accidentally killed by Williams and Torres Cort aims for revenge. Revenge he get's when he murders Det. Williams fiancee Sandy in cold blood. He then tries to frame Williams and play mind games to get him to break. The ending of this episode is tense, and you can't help but feel for Williams who is at his end as the episode closes.

2. The Finals

The final episode in the Danny Cort arc, this season 2 story bring's Ice-T back to wreck more havoc on Det. Williams life. It's even more damning as the episode unravels just how psychotic and a mastermind Danny Cort is. He will stop at nothing to make Det. Williams pay for his brother's death, and goes as far to cause tension in his friendship with Det. Torres and kidnap G and Chantel to drive Williams even crazier. 

The final minutes of the episode you feel the sigh of relief Williams feels, while also saying damn to yourself since Ice-T wouldn't return to steal the show. 

1. ManChild

This episode get's me every damn time I don't care how many times I watch it. Not only is the plot of this particular episode so sad and real, 2pac's Dear Mama playing continually throughout the episode just hit's you. The plot features G's friend Mouse who commits a murder attempting to appeal to older kid's he deem's cool. When the table's are turned and the hunt is on Mouse he use's G as a cover, but not for long.

The fact that Mouse was a good kid with bad influences, happens all to often in this life in all walks of life. I think that's what really hit's home, he was looking to be accepted by the wrong group who didn't care for him. The fact G experiences the situation at a young age, and tries to understand why everyone isn't loyal to their friends is crushing too. 

Best episode of the series in my opinion hands down.

Thursday Nights On Fox: The Real Must See TV

 

This month mark's the 30th Anniversary of the cop classic New York Undercover, which also marks the anniversary of when Fox had a trifecta of shows airing on Thursday nights and was the real Must See TV. Starting in the 1980's NBC pretty much owned the night with a television block of sitcoms originally dubbed America's Best Night Of Television On Television, throughout it's run shows such as The Cosby Show, A Different World, Wing's, Cheers, Dear John, and Night Court ran the airwaves. In 1993 the network decided to rebrand Thursday night sitcom's dubbing it Must See TV. Led by Seinfeld, Mad About You, and Fraiser. The following season a new sitcom called Friends, and a new drama named ER joined the party.

All successful shows, but over on Fox all the cool kid's knew what time it was starting at 8:00 pm. The classic sitcoms Martin and Living Single kept the laughs coming for that one hour block. Then at 9:00 pm New York Undercover bought the fashion, action and drama. That block of shows was legendary for the culture and cemented their place and to this day 90's kid's watch the show like they have never seen. While a new generation watch those shows and are in awe about how awesome the 90's were. 

I'm not sure there is a more legendary TV block for the culture. When using the phrase what a time!, Thursday night's on Fox were a time. You were guaranteed to be entertained the entire night and there are so many classic episodes among the three series. Martin, is a certified sitcom classic. Living Single is very relatable hilarious sitcom, especially as you get older. Then New York Undercover, had two of the coolest police detectives ever to grace the screen while providing compelling, realistic stories. Thursday Night's Fox was a can't miss time in television history. You really had to be there.

Roc Was A One Of A Kind Sitcom

 

Thanks to a page on IG called Baltimore History Channel, the page made a post of a few scenes from the early 90's sitcom Roc which sent me down a Roc rabbit hole. The sitcom debuted in 1991 on Fox during a time Black sitcoms were used to help the network gain footing against the big 3 networks. Looking back at clips and episodes it's clear Roc was a special sitcom and there has been nothing like it since.

The sitcom starred Baltimore native Charles Dutton as Roc Emerson, a Baltimore sanitation worker who lived in a traditional Baltimore rowhome with his family. His wife Eleanor (Ella Joyce) who was a nurse, his womanizing musician brother Joey (Rocky Carroll), and his retired widowed father Pops (Carl Gordon). Later on in the series Roc and family adopted a pre-teen girl named Sheila (Alexis Fields) and later the couple had a baby of their own. 

The series was catergorized as a sitcom, but truthfully it was dramedy that realized early it had a voice and a responsibility to bring awareness to various issues affecting the Black community. Subjects covered throughout the sitcoms run included sexual assault, HIV, hospital billing teen violence, gangs, and drug dealers contributing to the decline of the Black community. A drug dealer named Andre played by Clifton Powell was the focal point of several episodes, which is another reason Roc was Special. There were many story arcs in the series, covering multiple episodes. 

Bullying and teen violence was another hot topic the series covered. Which is my favorite episode of the series, Terrance Got His Gun guest starring Brandon Adams. Speaking of guest stars, along with Brandon Adams and Clifton Powell, Roc pulled in several prominent Black entertainers during the show's run. Names like Loretta Devine, Garrett Morris, Debbi Morgan, Richard Roundtree Jamie Foxx, Heavy D, Eddie Griffin, Kadeem Hardison, Tone Loc, En Vogue (who also did the intro for season 3). Samuel L. Jackson, Tisha Campbell, Kim Fields, Jennifer Lewis,Salli Richardson, Sinbad, James Avery by now you get the point.

Another component that made Roc stand out and special was that for season 2, thee entire season all 25 episodes were aired Live on Fox. The core cast all had backgrounds in theater and were up for the challenge and succeeded. Going back and watching the episodes you may notice a flub here and there but nothing that took you out of the series. 

Roc was a special series and it's a shame it only lasted 3 seasons, but in those short 3 seasons it provided audiences with something to think about. A masterpiece of television, it is still underrated 30 plus years later for not being a typical sitcom. However, it truly was a one of a kind special sitcom that was needed.

Friday Night In The 90's What A Time

If you've read any of my blogs you can probably tell that I am a very nostalgic person. As a 80's baby I love late 80's to early 2000's content. And although I can acknowledge that times have changed and I thoroughly enjoy most of the technological advancements we have in today's world. I still think about all the good times and thing's I experienced as a kid in the 90's, that today's kid's will never experience.

One of them being Friday night's in the 90's. A instagram reel my buddy shared with me about Blockbuster recently sparked a conversation about how good we had it back then. Besides not having any real care in the world, Friday night's in the 90's were just special. 

First up was a choice of what's for takeout? Pizza, McDonald's, Sub shop...now as an adult with a family I completely get the urge to order takeout on Friday after a long work week. 

Once that was decided it was time to go to Blockbuster. Browsing through the blue and yellow aisles was just magical, renting a old favorite you have all weekend to watch it. Renting a brand new released film you had no time to waste on. I think I remember Blockbusters policy was you had to return it the next day. Same rule applied for video games.

Once you made your selection, we may grab a bag of microwave popcorn or movie theater packaged candy to make it a whole experience. Check out, pick up the food and head home. Once at home it was time to turn on ABC network at 8:00 pm and watch the legendary block of sitcoms TGIF. Featuring some of our favorites over the years, Perfect Strangers, Boy Meets World, Full House, Family Matters, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Dinosaurs, and many more.

Once the block ended at 10:00 pm, it was time to watch the rented Blockbuster movie, or play the video game. And somehow magically, we could stay up as late as possible to watch it and be ok the next day. Everything, was 10x more fun if you had cousins or the kid next door spending the night.

You really had to be there, but it is just an experience wrapped in the time capsule of greatness that we'll never get back. It's amazing that something so simple has held such a important place in a generation of folks hearts all these years later.

 A testament to how amazing it was.

30 Years of Martin: My 10 Favorite Episode's

 Today marks 30 years of my favorite sitcom "Martin". Starring Martin Lawrence, the show was a cornerstone of upstart TV network Fox. With an unmatched chemistry from the cast, non stop laughs. These simple words define the show legendary, iconic, game changing. There will never be another sitcom like Martin.

I have seen every episode hundreds of time, even the lackluster fifth season. Heres my top 10 episodes.

10. Really Gina Is Not My Lover

This season 2 episode focuses on Martin attending his 10 year high school reunion, with a focus on getting back at everyone who did him wrong in high school. Including Ricky Fontaine "Pretty Ricky" what they called him. Martin's goal to show up everyone is interrupted when Gina fresh off of an allergic reaction shows up to stand by her man.

9. No Justice, No Peace

This season 2 episode sees Martin deciding to fight a traffic ticket in court on his own. What follows is a hilarious range of banter between Martin, his close pals, and even the judge. The two most iconic scenes in this episode are finding out what GTD stands for, and Martin pleading insanity and acting upon it to escape any charges. 

Everytime this episode is on I stop what I'm doing and watch it.

8. Suspicious minds

Season 2 episode Martin buys a brand new CD player that turns up missing. Martin then takes a Don't Trust Anybody approach and become's a detective interrogating his friends. Eventually taking inspiration from New Jack City, he call's a meeting with his friends in all black and his stuffed dog.

Which lead's to this scene that if you don't laugh you need to check your pulse. Even Thomas Ford who play's Tommy is trying his best to keep his composure together with Martin's antics.

7. I Don't Have The Heart

Pam dates a older very rich man and Martin reaps the benefits. While Gina feels the dynamics of the  relationship is off. This episode was a fun poke at people getting into relationships without really knowing the other person. Marrying for money, and having friends with deep pockets and connections opening up a new whole lifestyle for some.

Martin without him realizing him becomes a third wheel in the relationship. He almost has a nervous breakdown when he's loses access to the suite at the Pistons game.

6. Momma's Baby, Martin's Maybe

A little boy named Marvin shows up claiming Martin is his dad. Figuring out the math make's sense, Martin set's out to be the best dad he can be. Trying to make up for all those lost year's he did not know about Marvin. That is until he find's out Marvin isn't even his son, which lead's to this funny exchange about Arizona.

5. Blackboard Jungle Fever

Martin runs into his old grade school teacher Ms. Trinidad. Only to see Ms. Trinidad still has it going on all those years later, and she's willing to let Martin fulfill his childhood fantasies. Martin almost give's into the temptation that is until Gina walk's in on the both of them.

Martin's a bit remorseful about even getting in to the temptation, Ms. Trinidad still wants her prey, and Gina is out for blood. This is a certified season 1 classic.

4. Guard Your Grill

Martin takes winning a charity boxing event too far and feeling disrespected, decides to challenge Tommy "Hitman" Hearns to a charity boxing match. Despite all the training in the world, of course he is no match for Hearns. Leading up to this hilarious confrontation in the boxing ring, which Martin sustains some serious apperance altering bruises from.

3. The Night He Came Home

This season 1 Halloween episode has everyone in the spirit except for Martin who doesn't buy into it. What follows is a night of Martin finding out his apartment just maybe haunted by Old Man Ackerman, and his friends being victims of the ghost. Martin soon show's his bravado is all talk when more spirits come after him.

2. I've Got A Secret

This season 1 episode brings out some bad blood amongst the friends, when secrets they've all held about one another come to light. Everytime I watch this episode I laugh my ass off like it's my first time watching it. 

In classic he said, she said scenario. Martin spills the beans on-air about a secret tactic Pam uses to get what she wants at work. Which he would only from Gina, which open's pandora's box amongst the gang of them basically talking shit about each other to one another.

1. Hollywood Swingin 1 and 2

This two part episode featured Tommy Davidson as a highly successful Late night host Varnell Hill who inspires Martin to reach for more.

Originally I only had the second episode listed, that interruption of Jodecis live performance gets me everytime. When I thought about it the first episode is just as funny if not more. While the second episode has the Jodeci interruption and a hilarious beef between Martin and "Michael Jackson". 

The first episode of this two-parter includes a just as funny if not more funnier exchange, between Martin and Varnell during an interview. Martin and Tommy Davidson are even trying their best not to break character during this scene. The 2nd half of this scene also highlights the chemistry between the two comedic geniuses and their amazing comedic timing.

A show as iconic as Martin it was hard to narrow down my ten favorite episodes, but in my opinion if someone could only watch 10 episodes from the 5 seasons. This 10 will show just what made this show so special.
