Thirty years later,
the surviving cast members of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a popular NBC sitcom
from the 90’s, got back together to discuss their experience on the show, their
favorite moments and the cultural impact of this particular project.
I loved The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a teenager. I watched episodes again and again, I know them by heart by now. My favorite moments from this TV special were to tribute to James Avery, who played Uncle Phil and who passed in 2013, and the “peace treaty” between Will Smith and Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Vivian for the first half of the six seasons of the show. You could see the love the cast members had for James Avery, a major father figure in the history of American television. As for the burying of the hatchet, it was great to see Will Smith give Janet Hubert a chance to say her piece. Life is too short to hold grudges, and it was truly emotional to see that feud end.
My only gripe with this special is that it was too short and that we barely heard from Joseph Marcell, who played Geoffrey Butler, one of my favorite characters on the show.
Other than that, it was a great walk down memory lane that made me feel like watching that show one more time.
