Bel-Air: Dark Fresh Prince Reboot Coming From Universal

[TurtleTitan97]

Will Smith will be producing it: https://tvline.com/2015/08/13/fresh-prince-reboot-will-smith/

[Zak The Neutrino]

No please no!

Can't these tv/movie people come up with any original ideas anymore?

[The Stryker]

Atleast it's a good show they're trying to reboot instead of garbage like Full House.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

OMFG NO! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

... At least Will Smith is involved, but WTF. WHY are these people paid for $hit when there are hundreds of undiscovered writers (yes, including me) that can't get a damn agent!? FML

Wow, I lost it there for a second. :tlol: Just so sick of all these unoriginal hacks who can't come up with a new idea to save their name.

[Candy Kappa]

If it's a spiritual successor, sure. But, I don't think a reboot would be a good choice. Will Smith is the Fresh Prince.

But, I'm all for another show like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

[Raph's Girl]

This is the story all about how... I decided to reboot my own show! :roll:

[Cure]

As long as the Fresh Prince isn't Jaden Smith, I'm down.

[Raph's Girl]

As long as the Fresh Prince isn't Jaden Smith, I'm down.

But you know that's what is gonna happen. Jaden, Willow and Trey will all be in it! :P

[TigerClaw]

But you know that's what is gonna happen. Jaden, Willow and Trey will all be in it! :P
This reboot is gonna have to top James Avery's Uncle Phil.

Were so used to hearing Shredder's voice on the show.

[Raph's Girl]

This reboot is gonna have to top James Avery's Uncle Phil.

Were so used to hearing Shredder's voice on the show.

I figure Kevin Michael Richardson could play Uncle Phil. Keep the tradition going of having a Shredder in the show. :D

[Peanut]

This is so f*cking stupid.

Like...bring the show back, with Will Smith as in-universe Will, being the Uncle Phil to some new hot shot street banger in Bel-Air? YES! PLEASE! Reboot the entire thing and start over? What's the point? Why not just make something new? A reboot of a sitcom makes zero sense.

F*cking...Uncle Carlton? PLEASE! The moment some rando is trying to replicate Alfonso Ribeiro's dance is the moment they have failed.

[BubblyShell22]

Not down with this at all. If it was something where Will was a mentor to someone like Uncle Phil was to him, that would be fine. I know Will Smith is producing this, but it just sounds so wrong.

[Wesley]

This is a bad idea. I've only watched some episodes of the original series, but a reboot could never recapture the spirit of the original. No one could replace the old actors.

Besides, I watched a few episodes of the original recently and I thought it was still good. It's slightly serious at times. It's a bit cheesy, but it holds up better than some other TV shows that were on air at around the same time in the 90s, so I don't see any need for a reboot.

[Wildcat]

The article says fish out of water family comedy in the spirit of Fresh Prince...so not really Fresh Prince reboot?

I mean unless it's about a lower-middle class citizen living with the rich I don't see how it's a reboot? Sounds more like a sitcom inspired by Fresh Prince.

[IndigoErth]

Jaden Smith... would not be surprised if daddy gave him a role.

Thouuuuugh... as a short lived train wreck, hmmm.

[PangolinFeets]

I wish they were just giving Jaden Smith his own 'Idiot Abroad'-esque first-person narrative reality show. That'd be entertaining.

[chrisdude]

Reminds me that Kevin Hart have a short-lived sitcom in the vein of the Fresh Prince. He played, like, a superstar who lost it all, and had to move in with a normal family. Maybe an aunt or an uncle. It's been like 10 years, I don't really remember.

[Leofan26]

Oh boy, with Will Smith in charge you know what this means? He's so going to try and get his son to be the main character :roll:

[Toitlefan]

I wish they were just giving Jaden Smith his own 'Idiot Abroad'-esque first-person narrative reality show. That'd be entertaining.

....with Peter Dinklage co-hosting. That **** would be some seriously good t.v.!

[Guitar_Raph]

Uncle Carlton? PLEASE! The moment some rando is trying to replicate Alfonso Ribeiro's dance is the moment they have failed.

Alfonso's already the 4th host of AFHV.

[XERO]

Why not just bring Martin back?

[BubblyShell22]

Alfonso also hosts a game show on GSN called Catch 21.

A full series based off of a edgy Fresh Prince parody trailer is in the works, Quincy Jones and Will Smith will produce the series alongside the trailer's creator and is being currently pitched to streaming services.

Here's the original fan film:

[Wildcat]

You gotta act like you got this tick right. Like the army did this experiment on you that just went terribly wrong...back up! back! Mind ya business, thats all just mind ya business. :lol:

Have never seen that video but it seems entertaining to me. Would it only be an hour though? So its just sort of a movie not a series. The comments are funny. Suggesting other Dark reimagined sitcoms.

[Sumac]

So instead of simply rebooting or making ****** sequels, Holy-Would-but-its-too-cheap, wants to make edgy retools?

Well, at least this **** will fizzle out even faster than regular reboots.

[Xav]

So is Kevin Michael Richardson going to be Uncle Phil this time?

wtf....????? why????

[The Deadman]

I still wont be watching this. They ruined Saved by the Bell and I have a feeling they'll ruin this too.

[IMJ]

Loved the original show. Everyone did.

But there's no diversity or white presence in that cast picture above. Soooooo..... it's woke $#!( and I don't do woke $#!(.

[Wildcat]

I was looking forward to this but being on Peacock I guess I’m not gonna be able to see it.

Funny, I don't really recall a lot of white presence in the original, either. Was it "woke", too? Just wondering.

Super Bowl Sunday premiere date set

It was always an all-black cast. Now if they start making so every white person that happens to appear on the show is an idiot or an asshole and we have that episode where Will and Carlton go to a BLM rally.... then we can call it woke.

That's fair.

[mrmaczaps]

It'd be woke if it was an all white cast hanging out at blm riots & burning stuff down.... fvck pedowood.

[Jester]

Just finished the 1st 3 episodes. Man, who did Alfonso Ribeiro tick off because this show does Carlton dirty.

Oof, any examples? I'm curious, but not curious to actually watch it, lmao.

He's caught by Will early on snorting Zanax (or so he claims). He also feels Will is replacing him in his family and as big-man-on-campus. He's practically the villain.

Really? That really sucks that they didnt even try to keep his 'sheltered' character. They used to use it in really big ways, like when he was pulled over by police and when he was refused entry to a fraternity for not being black enough. Not being kind of innocent and straight laced is no bueno

[Jester]

Anyone want to guess which characters been reimagined as lgbtq?

[Autbot_Benz]

Anyone want to guess which characters been reimagined as lgbtq?

Ashley or Hillary

[Jester]

It would seem that 12 yr old Ashley may indeed either be bisexual or just a lesbian.
Well done.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

This is a hard pass for me. As a huge fan of the original show, this doesn't interest me in the slightest.
