The woman who narrates these videos is amazing! In every video she gives a master class on when to speak and give facts, and when to stay quiet and let the video play! I don't know who she is but I love her. Great Vid!
NBC didnt want to do Fresh Prince, No network did. So QJ got sponsors to back the show, and went back to NBC saying all these companies will advertise if you put this show on. Thats how it got done. Thats an important part.
I met James Avery at Epcot Center right when the show was ending. He was with his family but still stopped to talk to me and my family once I noticed him. He was awesome and so friendly. He could have blew me off and just said I am with my family, but he didn't, he made time for us, and it made our vacation. R.I.P. James
@nett1200z --- STOP! I don't make excuses for Diddy or Quincy. I wish that none of us participated in debauchery. And I wish that we, so-called Black men, would humble ourselves and get right with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Let's stop making so-called Black men the poster child for negativity!
Alphonso Ribero actually got fired from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but Will stepped in and told the new boss of NBC he was crucial to the show and Alphonso was the person that often clashed with the first Vivian Banks not Will.
The first mother was better in my opinion. There was nothing wrong with a strong black woman and a strong black man but I think the show's producers didn't want that.
Will smith saying “I’m not an actor” has to be the wildest statement I’ve heard all year. He never knew the true talent he had back then 🥹 Will smith is definitely one of the 🐐 of black actors.
Nothing wild about that statement, every character he embodied, so it was extension of him. When you’re able to make a craft become YOU, it becomes more than the title we give it.
Terrance howard was replaced by Don cheadle in Avengers/iron man. Malclom x was played by dark skin denzel Washington. Rosa Parks was played by dark skin Angela basset. Thurgood Marshall was played by dark skin Chadwick Boseman. List goes on...... Do you see light skinned people crying victim? No... Its always the dark skin people crying about this shit.. Grow some

That part at the end which was like the first episode I think when will come in wit the tuxedo all wrong n his tie dye clothes n Uncle Phil just turns back around like OMG! Got me bout to go back n just watch that episode too funny
They wanted a patriarchy not a matriarchy. I appreciate the strong father figure in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Women may have liked the mother knows best outspoken Vivian but I believe the role is common in every black sitcom. Uncle Phil’s stronger male role was important for black men.
The 1st Vivian was the best one. I didnt like the 2nd Vivian. I wouldve hit on Hilary too lol & Ashley lol. I dont like the reboot Fresh Prince. The characters were too different, too opposite. Uncle Phil was skinny, Hilary was dark skinned & Carlton was too dark (evil).
I notices that when you hear an actor is "hard to work with" it's never true. They did the same thing to Goodtimes cast, Suzanna Somers Don't believe the hype people.
The show was one of the funniest shows ever made! 😂 and I actually only think of this show with the first mom who was great! Love all the cast with the first mom, especially❤
Friends with Benny AND Quincy before twenty five??? I don't want to know those stories. A lot of black artist had stories of which and HIS freak offs!! They were a little more individual experiences.
Did you even watch the video? They literally said %70 of his checks from the show were being taken for the first three years. She left after the three years, meaning while his money was still being taken. So NO he did NOT have the money.
8:30 Anyone that refers to themselves in the 3rd person has a God complex. When Janet Hubert started her sentence with "Janet Hubert", that told me all that I need to know
You left out a key detail... the show was really written for EAZY-E in mind. But he turned down the role. Quincy Jones also really wanted Eazy-E because they wanted a real hard and respected serious rapper to take the role and make jokes around that premise. They actually thought Will Smith was a corny bubble gum rapper and his career as a rapper was fizzilling out during that time. But Will Smith was still famous at the time for his previous albums as a comedic rapper and he made the TV show work because he was doing a comedic rap style in the first place, which transcended into the show which made it successful. Despite his rap career going down the toilet during that time.
What are the great shows out there that started out great but continue to get better and better throughout the years. I know a lot of shows that started out really good and fizzled out around the middle and just hung on until the very end. This show kept strong
This show was iconic and represents an important part of my late teenage early 20’s life. And Bel- Air is spectacular! I went into thinking this might be awful but no! It’s a really good show. I’m sad this upcoming season will be the last 😞
Exactly! He sold out to QJ and got put on. Sold his soul for fame. The symbolism is literally in the theme song intro video at the start of each show. You don't just find a guy like QJ being a non gangster rapper with the name The Fresh Prince to eventually having your own TV show with said name without having to have done something. Lets not forget he ain't go to no acting school or anything.

For real.
You the only father that I ever knew
SALUTE J.COLE(FOR PUTTING IT IN HIS VERSE)
YOU THE ONLY FATHER THAT I EVER KNEW!!!
"break out Lucille" surely one of the best lines
That “Geoffrey!!!!!” That was cold
Yeah! Been looking for a 'Lucille' like that, ever since I watched that one. 😅!
BEST REGARDS!
Lucifer
One of the greatest sitcoms ever to grace the small screen. Glad I got to witness this in real time back in the '90s 💯💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻🍻
One of the funniest shows ever, loved when jazz was thrown out the front door 😂😂😂😂😂
I like how he always tried to holler at Hillary too lol
IKR!!!!!😂😂😂💥
I like the first Vivian much better!
The first one had character and story arch with episodes
When they switched she basically became a background character
The first Aunt was not submissive but want to take over, she went to far in her role
@@garywilliams5337 Symbolizes most American BW in a nutshell 😞
So
they butchered her role on purpose out of spite, the new viv could’ve had the same impact given the chance…she’s just doing what’s written
Hillary was fine
Indeed!…and it always confused me that we were supposed to pretend like she wasn’t
Ashley
So was his mom
Solid 7.. but I've never seen her without make-up😅.. so safe to say strong 6.
A bit skinny for me, but yes, nice head.
Wild Party at Quincy house = Back breaker for that role
We know will had to bend over to get that role.
Better at Qunicy party than in jail for the IRS right?
Yall act like yall never been to a party before
A Quincy party is nowadays Diddy Parties😅
@@Jzarectano that comment went over your head 🤦🏾♂️
Will Smith agreed to do Fresh Prince after a wild party at Quincy Jones?
Probably a Diddy party before Diddy parties

Thats how it got done. Thats an important part.
One more fun fact: Uncle Phil (Rest In Power) was also the voice of _THE SHREDDER_ on _TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES_
Wow
I dint know
Fist of the North Star. That has to be how he got Shredder.
Never knew that
@@kanedakuhe was on first of the North Star as well? Never knew

R.I.H Big Uncle Phil a.k.a James Avery. Amazing actor and person. The uncle a lot of us need in our lives.
Quincy Jones is the original P Diddy.
And he still ain't locked up.
Didn’t he died last month?
Clive Davis
Wow I thought this too when he died
Y'all SLOW! 💡Guess you people haven't heard of Hough Hefner and the hoochie and drug filled Playboy mansion parties😵💫

😵💫
It was because Will dont get along with her
Wasn't only the producers tbh I've done so much research on this topic
TRUE ❤
It was Will’s fault. Not producers
The new aunt viv was so dead but by then no1 ain’t gonna stop watching the show
They had a wild party, yall let that go right over yall heads. 😂 diddy wasn’t the only one!!!
Uncle Phil and Carl Winslow raised me big facts,I 😢 when Avery passed away rip
My dream was to become a judge but I got distracted
And Carl winslow was at diddy parties not doing fatherly things🤮
What about uncle Homer 😂

I grew up watching Fresh Prince and now with my own family, we watch it at family time now and then. We absolutely love it. Rip Uncle Phil.
Original Aunt Viv is ❤
THIS IS WHY WILL SMITH GOT BENT OVER 😂😂😂😂 THEY LOVE TO GET PPL IN NEEDY SITUATIONS TO TEST YOUR DESPERATION LEVEL

Every successful sitcom has deep dark secrets ...
It's crazy
Just like 'perfect families"🤔
Hilary was so cold ❄️🥶
Rest in peace uncle Phil forreal!!
The scene with will and how his dad not wanting him, is still a sad episode..😢
He got the role at a WILD Qunicy Jones party....
Diddy?
Janet Hubert needed that closure from Will. As much as we called her crazy for her outbursts, it was tearing her apart.
Mental health is a big problem no one likes to talk about, Will Smith was in a bad place at the time he slapped Chris, he is still a great actor!!
One of the absolute best sitcoms of the 90s & of All-Time as well.
He said double plastic😂😂😂
The wayyyyy I HOLLERED at 0:04 😂😂😂
Notice how the replacement mother is always light skinned... same on Family Matters.
Family matters ?
@ did you not see the new mother that was casted after Mary Jo Payton left the show. You have google.
What's wrong with that💥😂🤣

They make it seem like it’s something bad in the title. There’s going to be this kind of stuff happening on every set. People are human.
I knew Alfonso from Silver Spoons. He was also a breakdancer. What i said may have been too far back for ya'll to remember or ya'll were too young.
Also “The Tap Dance Kid”❤ Folks might be too young to remember that, too!😊
sooo benny medina is the reason wil started acting thats crazy....

The chosen thumbnail makes it look like Will and Ashley were the ones low key involved.. 🤔.. this is getting more ridiculous by the minute
After a wild party at Quincy Jones house.......hope y'all caught on to what this means in Hollyweird rituals
Yep, Quincy Jones was Diddy before Diddy.
@@Mr.J281 or he got will on tape
Definitely heard that then he played in 6 degrees of separation
@@Mr.J281You mean the other way around.
@Mr.J281 and who is hue Hefner
She was a phenomenal woman she was also going through an abusive marriage, yet she still was a force to be reckoned with on TV. What a woman.
Double plastic 😂😂😂
Yeahhhhh, I think we all know what happened at that wild party at Quincy Jones’s for his “audition” 🤥
After some wild party , will smith got the job 😂😂yes yes.
Hmm 🤔🤫
@ you heard that too right….
R.I.P. James Avery. Thank god Will and Janet made peace during the reunion show.
there's only one aunt Viv, Janet Hubert
That thumbnail was outta pocket
That wild party at QJ crib got him set😂😂😂
The first Vivian was the best hands down
That part at the end which was like the first episode I think when will come in wit the tuxedo all wrong n his tie dye clothes n Uncle Phil just turns back around like OMG! Got me bout to go back n just watch that episode too funny

Karen did more than just say no to will😂😂😂😂......she knows that army movie she appeared in she had a relationship with a married man

Never mess with the IRS even the Joker on the Batman animated show. Said he was crazy but not crazy enough to mess with the government.
4:41 - Wonder what type of "wild party" this was? No Diddy...
Quincy clapped them cheeks in 10 minutes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“They be saying damn that brother got big feet” 😂
Will should've given the original Aunt Viv a good severance package to help her , he definitely had the cash.
Did you even watch the video? They literally said %70 of his checks from the show were being taken for the first three years. She left after the three years, meaning while his money was still being taken. So NO he did NOT have the money.
