  • The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a Sitcom that was created as a vehicle for the popular rapper "The Fresh Prince" (Will Smith) to get a break as a bankable actor. A young, street-savvy hip-hopper from Philadelphia is forced to move to Bel-Air, California with his rich relatives after he pisses off some gangsters. The Reality Subtext is just as grim: A Grammy-winning rapper is forced to take the lead role in a family sitcom after he pisses off the IRS. In both cases, Hilarity Ensues. Surprisingly, the show is well-regarded today, not just for launching Smith's acting career, but for being a well-written ensemble comedy despite the gimmicky premise. It also aired for a respectable six seasons (an intentional decision as to not make it a Franchise Zombie). The primary relationship was between Will and his uptight cousin Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro), who was about the same age. Will also got on his Uncle Phil's (James Avery) nerves more then anyone else, balanced only by Phil's wife, Vivian (Janet Hubert-Whitten for the first three seasons, Darrined by Daphne Maxwell Reid later). The youngest daughter, Ashley (Tatyana M. Ali), thought Will was cool and the older daughter, Hilary (Karyn Parsons), was usually too airheaded to really notice him. The show was unique on how it presented a major clash between what was a stereotypical black personality and a black family that was upper class. Unlike The Cosby Show or Family Matters, Will would suggest that Carlton was not as black as he was; this was phased out through Character Development when Will saw Carlton be discriminated that way.
