It is on Nick at Nite. I think it came out in the late 80's, and went on through the 90's. I never watched it, but my son has been watching it whenever he can, and thinks it is funny.
Did anyone else like it??

It debuted in 1990.
The reruns can be pretty funny at times, yet also (like most sitcoms of that time) preachy and pedantic as well.
Sincerely,

Pedantic??? Hmmm....I have to remember that word, for word racer.... Posted by Bionic Bigfoot (Member # 2490) on :
I thought it was a funny show. Carlton was my favorite character. This is one of my wife's favorite sitcoms. She loves Wil Smith.

I love love loved it.......i had all the words to the theme tune written on my history folder......although....now I dont like it at all...that whole moral in every story thing was fine when I was 14...but now its just pretty grating. also does anyone remember Desmonds....the sit com about the jamaican barbers shop.............ooh its enough to dust off the old high tops, dungarees and brightly coloured hooded top.

I used to watch the Fresh Prince before the series was cancelled. I just started back this summer watching it on Nick at Nite (Tues. and Thurs.) with those back-to-back episodes. I liked the earlier episodes better than the later ones, with a few exceptions.

I agree with my girl Earth Angel....it's grating now. But who didn't know the Carlton dance...."it's not unuuuuuuuuusal" I think I may have even attempted that a couple weeks ago.To get laughs. Posted by Earth Angel (Member # 3301) on :

Muffy & Earthangel. I liked this show, especially the eary seasons (they even cleverly did a crossover episode with 'A Different World' which was also quite popular back in the days).
I remember 'Desmonds', staple Thursday night viewing with the late/great Norman Beaton.

Of course my man Kash likes Fresh Prince You do the Carlton dance too...you know it.
I think both shows are in reruns now. Was it Dwayne that made those flip top sunglasses/glasses popular?? Even my Grandpa had the sunglasses part that slide on his glasses and he'd tell us how cool he was with them...lol awww my Grandpa.
Speaking of laughing at me doing the Carlton.....Earth Angel does your mum throw her panites at Tom Jones? wait no thats Neil Diamond.... hehe

This is a show that I tolerated back in the day cause it was on but for the most part, I didn't care for it. I just don't like Wil Smith or Jada Pinkett for that matter. They annoy me. Nowdays when I come across the Fresh Prince, I just wince and keep going. Can't do it.
