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
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.
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.
@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!
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.
I used to watch The Fresh Prince of Bel Air back in the day, it came on Monday nights. I liked the original Aunt Vivian better, she had mor flavor and zest. The replacement was alright. Sometimes once characters are changed or added the show is not always the same. I guess that is what change is all about.
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

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).
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❤
actually FPOB had set many bad examples for the youngsters, like turning his coat inside out, disobeying school authorities, breaking rules, forcing himself on girls and many more bad issues were supported by the FPOB (Fresh Prince of Belair) it did leave a bad example for youngsters.
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.
This was my favorite show growing up, I use to get a laugh almost every episode but once they changed the Vivian it changed the whole show, it took me a long time to even get use to the new vivian and I still to this day find she ruined the show a little bit for me...Who ever picked the 2nd Vivian must have been high or something because there is no comparison to the original Vivian what so ever!!! It was really nice to see Will show her appreciation for her time on the show too.
They left out that in the scene with Will’s dad, they did several takes. James Avery was annoyed with Wills delivery of the scene and said he wasnt acting it well. Then after the last take, he whispered that in his ear. As far as Will improving that scene, i have never heard that before.
I have met a lot of Hollywood celebrities including Roger Nelson and went to a party at his house anyway! I was involved in a lot of stuff that ultimately landed me in federal prison for 20yrs and the one thing that I seemed to hear a lot of weird azz shiz about was Quincy Jones! And the first thing will says is we went to a party at Quincy’s house??🤨
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.
First thing First
REST IN PEACE UNCLE PHIL
Fr
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!!!
One of the greatest sitcoms ever to grace the small screen. Glad I got to witness this in real time back in the '90s 💯💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻🍻
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.
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!!!!!😂😂😂💥
Man you seen him throw uncle Phil out da one time🤣🤣🤣🔥🐐
@1700AlmightyJosa LMBO!!!!! I had forgotten 🤣🤣😭bout that part!!! It was so unexpected!!! That what made it so funny💥🤣
"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
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

The First Vivian Button ❤
She would’ve brought too much positive influence for the African-American community. They don’t want that.
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.

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 🤦🏾♂️
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
He also voiced war machine in the the iron man cartoon.
R.I.P. James Avery. Thank god Will and Janet made peace during the reunion show.
Will Smith agreed to do Fresh Prince after a wild party at Quincy Jones?
Probably a Diddy party before Diddy parties
I thought the same😮
I thought the same 😮
Exactly
Hahaha, I literally thought the exact same thing when I heard that comment! 😂😆😂
Y'all not about to slander Quincy Jones
"After a wild party at Quincy Jones' house" 🤮
The original Diddy devil.👹

😵💫
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
James Avery was the best On the show.
He lead the family as father n the cast as an actor ❤
The new aunt viv was so dead but by then no1 ain’t gonna stop watching the show

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.
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 😂

6 degrees of separation 😮
One of the absolute best sitcoms of the 90s & of All-Time as well.
Hilary was so cold ❄️🥶
Rest in peace uncle Phil forreal!!
R.I.P uncle Phil you were a true uncle and dad
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!😊
Fast forward at Quincey Jones house, Will found himself auditioning face first on a casting couch.
Every successful sitcom has deep dark secrets ...
It's crazy
Just like 'perfect families"🤔

The wayyyyy I HOLLERED at 0:04 😂😂😂
He got the role at a WILD Qunicy Jones party....
Diddy?
The scene with will and how his dad not wanting him, is still a sad episode..😢
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💥😂🤣

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!!
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.
sooo benny medina is the reason wil started acting thats crazy....
Will's dad episode moment with Uncle Phil was all acting. It's been docmented many times.
there's only one aunt Viv, Janet Hubert
Quincy,Benny,Will.....rainbow gang
After some wild party , will smith got the job 😂😂yes yes.
Hmm 🤔🤫
@ you heard that too right….
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.
This is how I actually fell for women of color. They are gorgeous! Thanks to this show.
Women of Color!? 🤔
Jada still loves Tupac
That thumbnail was outta pocket
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
Quincy clapped them cheeks in 10 minutes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OG Viv was the one 👌🏻
R.I.P Uncle Phill
#freegeoffrey
Why was Janet Hubert talking in 3rd person? 🤔🤔🧐🧐
5:00 “I don’t have the Time” should’ve been the title for the failed Morris Day pilot
The chosen thumbnail makes it look like Will and Ashley were the ones low key involved.. 🤔.. this is getting more ridiculous by the minute
Damm that was wrong went from squirrel joke to the most emotional scene on the show. Got me crying
Alfonso has to say that because if he doesn't, he doesn't have a career. He's controlled by Will.
Rest in peace james ❤
Fast forward to a Quincy Jones freak off. 😂😂😂
Did anyone actually think that was Will's life? 😂😂
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).

You could still have children that have a draker skin tone than you. Its not impossible
@aaronjohnson7175 yup my stepdad is light-skinned and his sons my half brothers are dark-skinned from my mom
if youtube was available then, this show wud not be looked at the same

Too bad Carlton would not heed his own advice.
Yep! Everyone knows him as Carlton and not Alfonso
Janet Hubert needed that closure from Will. As much as we called her crazy for her outbursts, it was tearing her apart.
