I just think the Jeffersons was more iconic, more impactful, more representative of Intelligent Black Society.
Martin represented the part of Detroit who told Dr. Claud Anderson that having an "Africa Town" would be "discriminatory" .
It makes me sick to see the Brothers in 2021 set tripping on 7th mile road (and other places) but the entire city is being gentrified to the point where they won't have any "set" to "trip" over in a while.

Living Color was good.
Martin was good.
But both of those shows were essentially field slaves for Fox News.
See, the Fox Channel started off with Black shows until they got their weight up THEN they started with the right wing talking points.
So, I wish those shows could be erased from history and you would not have soap box for shawn hanety, stacy dash, bill o'reiley.

FYI, they're getting ready to do the same thing with Battle Rap (Ultimate Rap League) and an app called Caffeine which is owned by Fox Network, allegedly.

I see your point. I remember when Fox was all Black and when it got its footing it tossed us to the side. Same thing a lot of immigrants do to FBAs when they get here.

I really liked Martin but I really liked South Central which I feel got a short life span being pulled and production stopped.
