![]() ![]() But there are some good ones in there that definitely make the show worth watching. It is a mixed bag and begins to get stale towards the end. There are certain episodes where the show gets more serious like the highly rated "Papa's got a Brand-new Excuse", that I highly recommend. But trying to sit down and watch the show from beginning to end, the jokes and characters do wear thin. And that is the way the show was made, good episodic random distraction for the day. It is great for the cable time period, where you would watch an episode and then another show would come on. It just has the typical shortcoming of shows of this time, it does overstay its welcome. ![]() The show can be very funny and heartwarming at times. It is both childishly innocent, but mature and never feels like it is talking down to the audience. Not only does it give you the set up, it also gives you a good idea of the tone of the show you're going to watch. I won't bother giving a synopsis of the show's premise because the intro to the show does a better job than I ever could. But whenever the show was on, I would stop changing channels and have a good time watching. I didn't necessarily watch the show in order from beginning to end. I primarily know "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in its long life of reruns on "Nick at Nite" and TBS. And I sure as hell don't need him for that, 'cause there ain't a damn thing he can teach me about how to love my kids! I'm gonna be a better father than he ever was. Will: No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'm gonna get through college without him, I'm gonna get a great job without him, I'm gonna marry me a beautiful honey and I'm having a whole bunch of kids. Will: I didn't need him then, I won't need him now. I had *fourteen* great birthdays without him he never even sent me a damn card. Will: Got to do my first date without him, right? I learned how to ride, I learned how to shave, I learned how to fight without him. You know, ain't like I'm still five years old, you know? Ain't like I'm gonna be sitting every night asking my mom 'when's daddy coming home?' You know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned it, didn't I? And I got pretty damn good at it too, didn't I, Uncle Phil? Will: Hey, you no what, you ain't got to do nothing, Uncle Phil. ![]()
