The Martin Short Show

1994 · 1 season

A breezy, joke-dense backstage sitcom that coasts on its star's rubbery charm and showbiz in-jokes.

Overview: The former `Saturday Night Live' regular plays a variety-show host who's ready for prime time. This series was not; it aired only three episodes and spawned an `SNL' spoof called `The Show Formerly Known as the Martin Short Show.'
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, celebrity, family, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
