Uncle Phil’s character was so needed for Will. That heartbreaking episode when Will’s biological dad left him & Uncle Phil was left to console Will helps this particular scene to be so beautifully done. Will had a real father through Uncle Phil. He needed to know that Uncle Phil was truly proud of him❤️❤️❤️

[@fletchdavidson6079]

Phil needed Will too. Carlton emulated Phil and will be successful but Will learned every lesson Phil taught. Success is nothing if you have nobody to pass the knowledge to. I loved their relationship.

[@Anonx82]

Not sure if it was the same episode, but when Phil went off on Will’s real dad for leaving again. Thats the passion and love of someone who is truly there for you. Yes, I know these are characters on a show. However, this happens in the real world every day.

When i was a kid watching this, no one cared that they were Black. It was just great show about great family, regardless of skin color. It's a shame that many great shows like these are being forgotten because studios need to shove their philosophy that they are doing something groundbreaking. Shows like this broke the ground long time ago.

[@MarianMurphy-rz8ej]

I think so! I was delighted for the African American community to be given dignity and respect in a sitcom that was popular universally, everyone loved it, and it was just brilliant comedy and a great cast!

[@w..j..2605]

@@Mithguar The fact that you just dismissed the message OP was pointing out is exactly what she’s talking about. Stop acting like we’re all the same & treated the same bc we’re not. Black people are dismissed, disrespected, and stereotyped especially in Hollywood & the media. You know what? Ima leave this alone bc it’s no point in trying to explain something you don’t want to understand.

Someone once said that they want a “sequel” of fresh prince. Where Will buys the house and raises his own family and a nephew/niece comes to live with him just like he did. A single season where the remaining cast comes in for cameos and episodes and the it ends with them visiting Phil’s grave and a touchy moment

[@BHRamsay]

Bel-Air was pretty good, Fresh Prince as a drama works surprisingly well , for me at least.

[@deathmastersful]

@@BHRamsay Bel-Air was their attempt to reboot they tried to nostalgia and woke commentary to get high praise. To me it felt way too preachy and like every modern person of color drama. Fresh Prince was a comedy drama that didn't take itself too seriously while talking about major issues and problems and making everyone feel inclusive. 21st century wokeness is fucking horrible

If this happened and the final scene was will touching Uncle Phil's grave I would without a doubt cry my eyes out.

This is something I really love about the sitcoms I grew up with. Comedy opens up such an opportunity for these moments that hit hard, because comedic actors need to have expressive faces and body language, the same strength that's needed for truly great drama. The way Will shifts uncomfortably from one foot to the other and his eyes dart around the room trying not to look at Uncle Phil sells his nervousness so well and make a good setup a *great* scene.
