Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Reboot
 
Will Smith will be producing it: https://tvline.com/2015/08/13/fresh-...ot-will-smith/

Zak The Neutrino 08-13-2015 12:33 PM

No please no!

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

The Stryker 08-13-2015 12:38 PM

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

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 08-13-2015 12:39 PM

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 08-13-2015 12:46 PM

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 08-13-2015 01:05 PM

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

Cure 08-13-2015 01:16 PM

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

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 08-13-2015 03:17 PM

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 08-13-2015 04:15 PM

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 08-13-2015 05:31 PM

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 08-13-2015 11:36 PM

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 08-13-2015 11:46 PM

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

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

PangolinFeets 08-13-2015 11:51 PM

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

chrisdude 08-14-2015 05:16 AM

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 08-14-2015 10:28 PM

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:

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

Alfonso's already the 4th host of AFHV.

XERO 08-18-2015 12:37 AM

Why not just bring Martin back?

BubblyShell22 08-18-2015 09:28 AM

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

Wildcat 08-12-2020 01:51 AM

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 08-12-2020 10:34 AM

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 08-13-2020 08:14 AM

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

Autbot_Benz 09-14-2021 12:56 PM

The Deadman 09-14-2021 07:58 PM

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

IMJ 09-14-2021 09:25 PM

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 09-14-2021 11:16 PM

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.

ZariusTwo 01-08-2022 03:36 PM

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 01-10-2022 10:50 AM

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

Jester 02-13-2022 07:50 PM

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