I believe everyone born in the 90s or has seen Fresh Prince can rap along to that catchy song.What set Fresh Prince apart from it's peers is that as much as it was full of laughs,it that it took it characters seriously.At times it even got heartbreaking like the time Will reunited with his Father only to loose him.It also wasn't afraid to address the issues that the black community faces,and still do.Overall Fresh Prince is like your favorite song that you can't help but dance along to whenever it's on.

I remember watching this show when I was a kid and it's fun to see that it still remains as funny today in re-runs as it was then.Before he was a big movie star Will Smith was great in this sitcom playing a character that although wasn't a massive leap from his usual persona was a great sitcom character. He luckily was supported by good writing and a clever supporting cast, including the much missed James Avery.While it looks a little bit dated now and not all of the jokes will be understood by a modern audience, I think the essence of what made the show work still remains. It's a fish out of water tale really.Also,with only six seasons being made the show got out while it was still largely on top. And not many sitcoms can say that.

I used to love watching reruns of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when I was younger. I still find it hilarious but now that I've grown up some of the shine has worn off. I'm finding it harder and harder to respect Will Smith as he continues to grow more selfish and socially unaware. What used to be comical is now just plain rude. He comes off like a spoiled rich kid with no manners. In saying all of that I still love the show and think all the characters are hilarious but every now and then things start to turn a little sour. I think the rest of the cast balances out the occasional negativeness.I don't want to be too harsh though, as Will Smith still is very funny and works well with the other cast members. They all seem to have a great relationship and play off well from each other. They really do seem like a real family and I think that's what makes it so entertaining. So aside from a few flaws overall The Fresh Prince still is a really great show.

Having seen all 148 episodes at least 3-5 times, i can say that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is my favorite comedy TV show of all time. It is rare to find a TV show that has the perfect blend of comedy, character development, and family values but Bel-Air pulls it off just right. Unlike other TV shows that have two or three seasons that stand out above the rest, Bel-Air is equally fun to watch at season one as it is to watch at season six.I give Bel-Air a 9/10 because it has brought untold amounts of joy and laughs to my life. The only thing that is keeping me from giving Bel-Air a 10/10 SPOILER: is the fact that starting at season four the character Vivian had to be replaced. I did not like the replacement (due to the lack of ability to act) and preferred the previous one.You cannot go wrong with checking out Bel-Air. You will be hooked for years to come.
