We've all experienced wills feeling, that feeling of helping your friend pack his bags and boxes to move to another country/state to start their life. You look around at the empty room thinking of everything in it that gave it life, there's nothing worse then that feeling, knowing it's time to split ways in life.
I never actually watched this episode but from watching the ending on TH-cam it hit a certain way. It’s just the fact they all went there separate ways and it’s just an empty house at that point.
That last frame of the empty living room is where I left my childhood. Every re-run I watch gives me a glimpse of what life used to be like. And god knows what I’d give to have it back.
@@anchorpoint3631 before easy internet and constantly being attatched to computers or phones.. Human beings were an a actual different species back then.
This empty room frame, reminds me of me leaving my childhood home. I was the last person in my family to leave the home. I was fighting back tears. I was very happy that my wife was with me and still is, to this day.
You really do just feel the whole show and all the years with it just fly right by in that silent shot of the empty room. Sometimes no words are needed.
Moving out sucks, but at least it paves the way for a new beginning. In my case, my second job that I worked for six years looked like this recently. It’s things like this where we hope the routine stays forever with people we’ve known, but time changes everything.
Being older, this scene hits much harder today than when it ended. When it ended, I was still young, and it felt bittersweet to lose a program I liked. Today, this just reflects on my own experience as I moved on in my life and unfortunately got distanced from some of my loved ones. Not on bad terms but if you guys are older you know the way it feels to look at that empty space that once was full where you would all sit down to watch tv or eat and talk, and today, its empty and youre moving on to some other place or job. Its nostalgic.
Im struggling with this as of right now. I grew up in Panama, all Christmas, bdays and holidays were always full of dozens of family members, super close. I moved to the US 8 years ago and Christmas, bdays and holidays have never been the same. I got a wife and kids now, and it’s amazing to be with them, but there’s a feeling of empty from not having those who I grew up with be there anymore.
I agree. I was in middle school or elementary when it aired. Mom was alive then. Childhood gone adulthood here instead. I remember these scenes and the couch or people I saw them with
Took me almost 20 years after this show ended to have finally watched this episode. Dunno why, it just never seemed to ever play in syndication & I missed it on its first run; but one day after coming home from the bar, there it was. 10/10, a fitting farewell.
Or maybe you were unlucky like me and my sister. As kids we usually missed the last episode of an anime. I remember we used to make jokes about it. We watch every episode and than something happen, we need to go somewhere, there is bad signal, we have other kids around or who knows what.
After years, decades even, of hearing about this show, I finally gave it a try this spring. I fell in love instantly... Never laughed so hard. I dreaded this moment... but I finally reached the last episode. Damn this scene made me cry... I've watched like 50 hours of Will's journey.
He almost cried, I did cry. It was evident that he was about to. Too many memories together as a family for years, the least you can feel is emotional.
This show did a good job at capturing the feeling of finality (i.e. that feeling when you move, last day of school, etc.) imo. Some shows, even if they tie up the story, miss the mark.
Remember Graduation from Grammar school I was there a long time saying goodbye was hard I start with my teacher in first grade and end with my same teacher in eighth grade it was the end of an era and saying goodbye to old friends was hard and emotional, than that same year high school it taken awhile to get used to but it taken some time being in a new place and new teachers was hard but got used to it after my freshman year of high school.
That ending shot of Will and his shadow walking out of the kitchen with the lights out in the house gives me chills, a classic 90s sitcom had reached it's final chapter
@chasesmom14 the 90s was a great time for sitcoms, especially ones that focused on African Americans. Fresh prince, cosby show, family matters, Martin etc
Love 90's shows... I feel like we lost a lot of wholesomeness like this in the US. Feel free to comment to prove me wrong if you have a more recent wholesome show to recommend.
And that is why Carlton will forever be my favorite character from this show. Such a sad moment where it's sinking in that it's the end, then he comes in and lets us all leave with one last laugh, making it far less somber/painful at the end.
I watched this show with 12 years old in reruns in 2007-2008. Now I'm almost 27 and watch this with a whole new perspective. I move out 1.000 kms for university when I was 18. Now I’m 26 and moving again fo another city. Is crazy how they projected that ❤️
I understand this too I also watch the reruns at my grandparents house growing up I 02 and in 2 weeks I’m moving out of a dorm room I’ve had 2 years in into a nicer one but the 2 years I’ve had In this small 2 person room were the most fun I’ve had all my life
I was 17 when I felt this same exact way. I walked through the halls and rooms of the house I lived in since birth and all the memories good and bad played in a flash.
All those years spent in that house. So many memories. The bad and most important the good. A bittersweet end to a beloved series. And Carlton at the end to close the whole thing out was a master stroke.
When Uncle Phil says, "Sunday" and points to Will, it is more like, "Son-day." Because he was the best thing to a father Will could ask for. Ohhhh Uncle Phil....
I loved this show. Easily the best sitcom ever. I watched front start to end on HBO max as an adult and it was just as good. All those episodes took you through times of the 90s and the family dynamic was the best. Uncle Phil to Will. Then will and Carlton and will and g. It was all such amazing dynamics. When Ashley made that hit song and Carlton and will helped her was a cool run of episodes. Laughed my ass off. Again amazing show. So sad with will where’s he’s at now. Back then everything from shows to movie he touched was just so funny and moving always
I don’t know man, I think these days people around 30 to 50 years old are getting really mental sick. I’m 29, my parents are around 58 and I feel we are all worse regarding mental health. I see famous people in really bad shape too 😢
I finished watching this show today, for the first time. I am not from the United States, nor did I grow up in the 90's. I think I'm younger than a lot of people in this comment section. Even in spite of that, I teared up while watching these last few scenes, because while there were many ups and downs throughout the show, the cast was simply amazing and even if some things became a bit tiring during this last season, the fun cast and their chemistry made it all worth it. I loved watching this show, and I don't think I'll have an experience like it ever again. Long Live the Fresh Prince!
Sad as this is, I can appreciate that Fresh Prince (and The Nanny, and Golden Girls) at least had the closure of appropriate endings that made some sort of sense and wrapped up most of the storylines. This allowed us to say good-bye to the characters, grieve a period of time being over as we turned the page in the Book of Life, and have some hope of their futures being bright. A lot of serieses (±) don't get this, or don't get it at all right, which is worse than a bittersweet ending by far. . (±) seriesi? seriei?? how do you properly pluralize this word it's worse than 'octopus'!
I never understood why Uncle Phil or Will didnt end the last 15 seconds by a ''Thank you'' speech to the audience just like Richard Dean did in Macgyver, THAT would have been just such a lovely ending that would have looked more like Will really only wasnt doing the acting like the others but more that he really had representing and ending the whole tale just like a dairy book. 💙💙💙
I'm 61, but it doesn't matter. It was a great show and that was a great ending, I will always remember it. And thanks to modern tv and TH-cam I can watch it forever!
Even Hillary had a moment of growth at the very end. At the start of the show, she treats Geoffrey like a servant, not a friend. By the end, she stops doing that and sees him as an equal. She makes a joke about it as her way of apologizing and proving her growth to him and he takes it in stride and shows that, although he's aware that she sees him as an equal now, he's got no problem doing this final favor for her. Not as a servant, but as a friend.
Facts whenever they solve they problems it always made yo heart melt 🥴 we dont really see shows like this anymore and just bc I'm black doesnt mean ii dont remember 7th Heaven 😂😂
Watching this always makes me so sad. I was born in 1989, but I remember when this show aired on Nick At Night all throughout out the time I was in high school. I watched every episode while doing homework. The best times. 😢
This is a fantastic ending. From Hillary and Geoffrey's sweet exchange, to the wonderful heart to heart between Will and Uncle Phil, to the great joke at the end. Fantastic way to end an amazing show.
Hillary moves to New York for her Tv Show. Ashley goes with Hillary and starts a perfoming arts school. Carlton travels to Princeton University. Geoffrey goes to London to live with his son. Phillip, Vivian and Nicky also move to New York to be near their children. And Will stays in California to finish his studies with Jazz.
Incredible to think how so many of our favorite shows between 1996 and 2000 left us. Fresh Prince, Martin, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles among so many.
Same here..I was born in 88 so even though I watched it back in the day, I missed a ton of episodes..I’m glad I’m able to rewatch everything on HBO Max now…
This scene used to bring tears to my younger self. Nowadays im sobbing like a baby. Changes in life are inevitable, but the older i get, the more i value and appreciate the truly great people and moments that have blessed my life. Even harder is the abject reality that it cannot last and even the best of times will end. Im going through some serious changes with the ones i love now and it only gets harder. The more you love and recognize how special it is, the harder it is to accept. The one constant in life is change, but fuck me, it only gets harder
After I finished this episode, I started uncontrollably sobbing. It was realistic, and it hurt. I'm glad this show didn't get canceled and we got this beast of an ending.
Many years ago back when the idea of websites was a new and amazing thing. I wanted to create one to showcase the first and last episodes of tv shows. Never really watched this show that faithfully though. I'd still of included it. Unfortunately thanks to licensing and greed a website like that isn't legally possible.
This is when the 90’s kids started to get older and time started to speed up and our childhood started fading away 😢…….. I was born 1993 and there would never be a time like the 90’s again.
Will was 27-28 years old when this last aired in 1996. I remember I was at my old house playing crash bandicoot on the playstation. You see even my childhood stuff have become part of the era.
@@good03boy Naah jazz was just always that one character who came by with silly antics and always had a way of expressing his feelings for Hilary lol...all that uncle Phil was able to put up with haha.
Went from my best friends parents basement and a girl who shattered my heart. 6 months later I had the keys to my first and very own apartment. 1:20 - 1:42 displays perfectly how it felt leaving that apartment. I remembered what I went through prior to moving in, the people who hurt me, the changes I made to overcome my hard times before, and the the shitty job/grueling hours I had to work to get it. I went into that place broken but remembered that through all of my hard work, I could start the life I always dreamed of. A year and a half after stepping through that door for the first time, I moved into my first house. With an amazing, hardworking girl that I fell for and a respectable career. I’ll never forget those first steps in and last steps out.

It doesn’t have to be a feeling. It could be more like “Can’t wait to see where we go now”

That's true, I lost my bestfriend when I was 11 so this scene hits harder than a jackhammer on concrete
@@mikelime514 It was a 2-part episode. You should watch it, everything that builds up to this scene will still hit you another way.
This was definitely one of thr best TV shows ever and the ending was just so emotional. I don't think anybody wanted the series to end
Yeah
No Curtain Call but it was before
That’s kinda the point. Leaving you wanting just a bit more keeps you with a positive view of the show. When i learned this it blew me aaay
Don't wait until you have jumped the shark.

Exactly
All the way back to the first season living room. At least, it did for me.
Hahaha that’s right, I forgot that the first season living room had a different layout.
I feel fortunate enough to know what it’s like to grow up during this time. It was something that can never be duplicated again.

Good things come and go but the things that happened before will be forever let it grow so it can activate you and you’ll become stronger for it 👍
I wish I could’ve I was born in 96 so I kinda still remember
Me too. 90s was the best era !
Seeing the whole house empty is so emotional

Seeing any house that you grew up in and gave great memories about is always going to be emotional
you must feel emotions

Uncle Phil and Carl Winslow….. two best father figure ever ! 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥💖
Yes
Facts whenever they solve they problems it always made yo heart melt 🥴 we dont really see shows like this anymore and just bc I'm black doesnt mean ii dont remember 7th Heaven 😂😂
Man it suck it ended so sad. But life is not always happy. Rip uncle phill
Yeah
Uncle Phil is lucky he didn't make an innocent joke about Will's wife or he'd have gotten the shit slapped out of him.
Will really grew up with the show from a boy to a man
Thank you! 😊
Everytime I see this ending it makes me tear up!
And Me
I still remember laughing at Carlton going "Hey!... Who turned out the lights?!..." as if it were literally yesterday.
Good times...
Yep. I’m in that rabbit hole of rewatching random Fresh Prince clips on TH-cam again.
Watching this always makes me so sad. I was born in 1989, but I remember when this show aired on Nick At Night all throughout out the time I was in high school. I watched every episode while doing homework. The best times. 😢
This is a fantastic ending.
From Hillary and Geoffrey's sweet exchange, to the wonderful heart to heart between Will and Uncle Phil, to the great joke at the end.
Fantastic way to end an amazing show.
For reals 😊❤❤
For me fresh prince is the best tv shows
For reals it's one of the only 90s sitcoms that I would watch with my brother 😊❤
Hilary: "Geoffrey! Will you help me with my bag? Just kidding."
(Both laughing)
Geoffrey: "It will be my pleasure."
Both comedy and class.
This episode really slaps.
Probably more than will slapped Chris rock
The fact Will joined the Air Force after this and had to fight an alien invasion is crazy.
If they had Facebook & FaceTime back then, the goodbyes wouldn’t have been so hard.
Yeah
Hillary moves to New York for her Tv Show.
Ashley goes with Hillary and starts a perfoming arts school.
Carlton travels to Princeton University.
Geoffrey goes to London to live with his son.
Phillip, Vivian and Nicky also move to New York to be near their children.
And Will stays in California to finish his studies with Jazz.
These last scenes always got to me. We can all relate to goodbyes.
This show was the best the way will grows with the show going from a normal teen to a adult
Exactly I Miss These Years
It’s hard to Say goodbye when everyone has to move on to a new world But when Will finishes school in LA he’s moving back to Philly
No, he is still in LA
@@lexkanyima2195 in real life he is but not Philly
@@lexkanyima2195 still thinking moving back to Philly offscreen
@@jamalselesi182 not yet
I meant on the show not in Reality
RIP TO JAMES AVERY 🥺🥺🕊🕊💖💖 in heaven
Yeah
uncle phil knew deep inside that jazz was a good guy after all
Incredible to think how so many of our favorite shows between 1996 and 2000 left us. Fresh Prince, Martin, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles among so many.
In 1996 when the show ended, I had to wait 23 years to watch this episode on netflix.
Really
@@happycat6274 yep i never watched all the episodes until i found this show on netflix.
Same here..I was born in 88 so even though I watched it back in the day, I missed a ton of episodes..I’m glad I’m able to rewatch everything on HBO Max now…
This scene used to bring tears to my younger self. Nowadays im sobbing like a baby. Changes in life are inevitable, but the older i get, the more i value and appreciate the truly great people and moments that have blessed my life. Even harder is the abject reality that it cannot last and even the best of times will end.
Im going through some serious changes with the ones i love now and it only gets harder. The more you love and recognize how special it is, the harder it is to accept. The one constant in life is change, but fuck me, it only gets harder
Thank you! 😊
After I finished this episode, I started uncontrollably sobbing. It was realistic, and it hurt. I'm glad this show didn't get canceled and we got this beast of an ending.
👍👍👍👍👍😥
It was sad
Many years ago back when the idea of websites was a new and amazing thing. I wanted to create one to showcase the first and last episodes of tv shows. Never really watched this show that faithfully though. I'd still of included it.
Unfortunately thanks to licensing and greed a website like that isn't legally possible.
This is like the ending of high school the final day which is bitter sweet
This is when the 90’s kids started to get older and time started to speed up and our childhood started fading away 😢…….. I was born 1993 and there would never be a time like the 90’s again.
I was born the same year, I agree.
Hey!! Who turned out the lights?!! Where is everybody?! Best quote ever! I’m definitely gonna miss you c!
Shows as great like these will never get old.
Now excuse me, I'm cutting onions 😥
Your Right
Moving out of my childhood house lived in it 30 years this scene is so prominent today
30 years oh my lol its a good but also sad feeling when leaving the nest.
Whenever you look at an empty room, let your sight travel around and imagine where all the things once were...
Thanks For The Advice
I felt that with friends, friend reunion happened big shock. Even too the actors and actresses
I did this after moving in with my fiancé , we didn’t have much but those memories made it all special ❤️
Will was 27-28 years old when this last aired in 1996. I remember I was at my old house playing crash bandicoot on the playstation. You see even my childhood stuff have become part of the era.
Thank you! 😊
I Never even watched the show but this still made me emotional.
Thank you! 😊
It's often hard to say goodbye to a house or apartment that has been ones home for many years
… First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil
For real,
Absolutely
💯💯
U the only father that I ever knew, I get my bitch pregnant ima be a better you
Loved this show during my university days. Back when Will didn’t have all that wife crap going on
I wish this show never ended it honestly would have been the only show that never needs to end and can stay relevant
Yeah
0:45 even tho jazz wasn't there to say bye to them it was good uncle Phil mentioned him and wished him the best on behalf of him and the family.
Yeah
I always thought Uncle Phil hated Jazz.
@@good03boy Naah jazz was just always that one character who came by with silly antics and always had a way of expressing his feelings for Hilary lol...all that uncle Phil was able to put up with haha.
Went from my best friends parents basement and a girl who shattered my heart. 6 months later I had the keys to my first and very own apartment.
1:20 - 1:42 displays perfectly how it felt leaving that apartment. I remembered what I went through prior to moving in, the people who hurt me, the changes I made to overcome my hard times before, and the the shitty job/grueling hours I had to work to get it. I went into that place broken but remembered that through all of my hard work, I could start the life I always dreamed of. A year and a half after stepping through that door for the first time, I moved into my first house. With an amazing, hardworking girl that I fell for and a respectable career. I’ll never forget those first steps in and last steps out.
Thank you! 😊
