TV show reviews: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

TV show Reviews; The fresh Prince

This is a very popular American comedy about a guy coming to live with his rich Aunt's family, it tell us tales what he gets up to, and how his life adapts - well it does not! This programme, used to appear on television, when I was kid, 10 years ago, believe it or not, it still does come on, as it just as funny as before. However it did not appear on so many channel and was only on a channel that not many people used to watch - BBC2. I think it was the first black comedy, in that time to be at the top of its group. A family comedy, bringing the family together, like in the programme. Will Smith obviously became older, and could not act in the same character.

Classic acting from Will Smith, but his family are just as crazy, in their own special way. Carlton, and his dance to the Tom Jones song, Hilary being so clueless, Uncle Phil with overweight size, everyone making fun of him, and lastly Geoffrey the butler, who we feel sorry for, because he he to run around carry out errand for the rest of the family, and his British Accent just add more laughs. Jazz is too funny as well, acting dumb - I suppose some character are everyone cup of tea, some people, may mot understand the humour, for example Jazz's stupidness.

the storyline is really good as well, Will and Carton always getting into trouble, and Uncle Phil and his food, Aunt Viv keeps everyone together. Will is a great actor, he should have done more acting in the different shows, lime Carlton has done. The show also sometimes has a morale to the episode, like, never take your car to Philadelphia at night time. As the show was running for over 5 years, you can see the changes through the characters, especially little Ashley, how she was little girl into a beautiful young woman. its a shame that Will could not not keep one girl, because it would have been a nice story to see through, as he does keep going from woman to woman.

Things that Fresh Prince of Bel-air would be lost without:
- The fresh prince himself
- A Cockey Butler
- A rich Family
- Silly people in the family
- A loud Family
