he playes a funny charecter in "Boomerang"
the show "Martin" had a few funny moments in the early years, then it got all "ethnic" and tried to cover political / race / religion issues from what i remember. took himself and the show WAY to seriously. (i always thought the chick who played his wife on the show was hot for a black woman)
some of his early standup was pretty funny, not eddie murphy caliber, but pretty good.
nowadays... his overacting whines, and catch phrases are tired.
