Family Comedy

[JameO]

I was bored and wanted to start some discussion on this show and the actors that are in it. I personally like whatever Will Smith is in. He is just such a good actor. And since this show will be starting to be released on DVD in February I decided to get some discussion going until then.

And yet Centurions and The Tick cartoon STILL get left out in the dust.

Bah.

Anyhoo, I enjoyed this series when it was on. I even watched it in syndication. The outtakes at the end of certain episodes were entertaining, too. But nothing beats Carlton's dancing.

I loved that show while it was on. It was so funny. I always liked the dialogues between Will and Carlton, sort of witty vs. brainy. Too hilarious. I never was too find of the pregnancy bit and the end was just sad. Very sad

I loved the show when I was younger but the humour is like in most family sitcoms too clean IMO. It definitely has some great moments though. Like when Will decided to stay in Philadelphia in one episode and in the next episode a producer drops by, tells him that the show is called "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and not "Fresh Prince of Philadelphia", and kidnapps him back to Bel Air.

Wasn't that the episode where Will and Carlton are talking about the bully and Carlton asked, "Who?" to which Will replied, "The dude who's spinning me above his head in the credits."

The saddest episodes of that show had to be:

-When Will's father came back only to abandon him again
-When Carlton took pills of speed by mistake
-The last episode.

I wasn't too fond of the "second" Vivian, it was intersting to see Ashley go from innocent little girl to shameless slut and how the hell did Nicky grow up so fast?

Where did he do that? And what happened? I think I missed that ep.

Also when Will was shot, while protecting Carlton. That was so sad...

I liked this show. It was fun to watch. Plus, an interesting thing for us TMNT fans, Uncle Phil did the voice of Shredder in the old series.

ripped from TV Tome:
Will learns a sobering lesson after Carlton pops the wrong pills from Will's locker, mistaking amphetamines for vitamins, and winds up in hospital.

I think everyone knows that already. (no offense)

I just love Will Smith in everything he does. I was thinking of turning this into a Black Family/Comedy kind of thread so we could discuss other black family shows that are funny. For example, Bill Cosby Show, Family Matters, ect. Even better we could do a Family Comedy thread and not just black comedy to have a huge discussion on favourite shows like these. So if a mod would change the title Family Comedy or something to that affect. Or just a comedy/sitcom title would be good to. I am just bored and not much going on in this section that I would usually post in so change this to a Comedy thread and we can go on from there.

Canged it. Otherwise I'd get punched to a puddle of blood by Rayman (yeah, I'm funny today). Is the title OK the way it is?

And I didn't know that Uncle Phil was Shredder.

Speaking about comedy: Fresh Prince is just about the only sitcom I like (which is internationally known). Other than that there's just "Fasch e Familie" (almost family) , the best thing Swiss TV has ever broadcasted.

I don't know if these count, but I like the "Blackadder"-series (especially the "shorty greasy spotspot"-episode) and "Keeping up appearances" (How do you pronounce Bucket? Bou-quet. isn't it obvious?)

Will Smith is a great actor, he is IMO the living proof that a good actor can save a bad film (WildWildWest, interesting concept, but somehow just stupidly done)

[Weapon X]

I remember watching The fresh Prince when I was super young, like '90 or '91. I think my one sister really liked it. And it was pretty funny.

I liked Jazz.

Oh, man. Who remembers this from that show?
Random Character: Waldo?!
Waldo: 'Sup?

[Barkworm]

God no, don't mention "Family Matters". That shows gives me pain.

[XERO]

'No prob, Bob.'

"Whutchoo talkin' 'bout, Barkworm?"

That better?

I loved when Uncle Phil threw people/things out of doors/windows. It was hypnotizing.

I was about to post that too. In one episode, Jazz Threw Uncle Phil out.
