Pam was supposed to be a spin off.


It was supposed to be a spin off of the show starring Pam but never developed.

reply

Yep. Her and her new job at the record company.

Trolls make me laugh 

Well, at least she did get to star in Everybody Hates Chris, even if it had nothing to do with her role on Martin.

reply

It would have NEVER worked. Tichina would have needed another actor to assist with the comic relief...

reply

Yeah I can agree with that, other than that the show was somewhat bland. It was cool of Martin to let Pam have an episode to preview her spin-off.

reply

The soap opera drama behind the scenes was too distracting for Tichina's spin off to work. Tisha and Tichina are still best friend to this day. Also Martin use to poke Tichina but I think it stopped when he married his first wife.

I know Lifetime is doing all the unauthorized stories of this TV show and that show, but they should do one on Martin for real. They cast had real great chemistry and by season 5 I didn't know that was when the drama was starting to happen, even in Season 6 I didn't think anything of it I would have thought Tisha Campbell was doing something else which was why she wasn't in all the episodes.

It may not even be his choice, sometimes the network will take a popular character from the parent series and spin them off.

More money for the network if it's successful.
