Anyone who doesn't love this show is simply bad vibes, and not to be trusted.
TBF that's mostly nostalgia talking. Every decade has 'em....Oh and let's go 90s - the girls were well fit.

Did you guys have the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue over there? '90s was a good vintage...
You could probably do it, just has to be very overtly ironic.Indeed. But sitcoms are more careful thesedsays, Fresh Prince was unashamedly misogynistic. Can't do that anymore.
Yes. Fan made but Will was so impressed he's funding a full series,isn't he? I'm not sure...I quite like Fresh Prince for being this goofy sitcom. That trailer looks great but cold. What do you think?You could probably do it, just has to be very overtly ironic.
Have you heard about this:

If we're getting super serious, then if the show handles its issues well, I think it'd be at least decent for this generation. But it'll be 'dark/serious/gritty'.
But what FP really was was one of the last family-oriented sitcoms on network TV before the plague of crime/law procedurals swept in and began blighting American - and further, the world's - culture with cynicism and nihilism.
Personally, I'd take tongue-in-cheek misogyny over that anyday.
Specific reasons for the bolded part? Did it make you uncomfortable that you once enjoyed it?Agreed. Off topic, I watched Boyz n the Hood for the first time since the 90s. Sure it's gritty and still a quality film, but I couldn't watch it for more than 30mins. Yet back then I was glued watching the likes of Ice Cube. I suspect I wasn't as empathic back then(not difficult) but I suppose teens rarely are. Anyway, I'd probably struggle with a dark, gritty Fresh Prince too. I recently watched FP again, like you l, I had forgotten most of it.
This is one of the episodes that has stuck in my memory.So emotional man
Carlton taking his speed and him breaking down right at the end and eventually being forgiven by Philip will always be my strongest memory.The one they go skiing is my favourite episode.
Second that.Anyone who doesn't love this show is simply bad vibes, and not to be trusted.
Imagine married with children given the jokes that show did? Never a chanceIndeed. But sitcoms are more careful thesedsays, Fresh Prince was unashamedly misogynistic. Can't do that anymore.
Oh yea another awesome scene
I dunno, there were early episodes where Will treating women as objects blew up in his face (the one where he didn't want to date Queen Latifah because she wasn't skinny + when he as humiliated by Lisa's sorority girls, just off the top of my head) also he was almost never rewarded for his behaviour either, he got rejected far more than he succeeded.Indeed.

I use that line when I play pool, I turn into the Cristiano Ronaldo of pool.What a great show.
"Geoffrey! Bring me Lucille..." fecking boss was Uncle Phil.
Same! But when Lucille is passed to me, the pressure mounts and I end up playing like Troy DeeneyI use that line when I play pool, I turn into the Cristiano Ronaldo of pool.

I think it highlights that his misogyny wasn't appreciated, and he was seen more as a laughing stock more than anything else.

Looks like Will Smith missed a trick. Maybe he should have produced a show where Will, Carlton, Hilary and Ashley are older and raising their own families in a world that would have broken Uncle Phil's heart.
But in sitcom format.
