Showed the preview to all my friends and family. They were pumped about it, awesome to see that the new series got picked up so quickly. We probably won't be hearing back from this until next spring with a Summer or Fall 2021 Premier. This would be my guess and nothing more. Anyone else excited for this show?

You're betting it all on that?

I don't know, the entire movie was showing scenes from an entire season, not just one episode. If you think this series will go seriously downhill after only ONE episode, then you're just hating just to hate and had no real interest in the show to begin with. Either your statement was inflammatory for a reason or you're just showing how out of touch you are with a ground based tv show showing us REALITY instead of REALITY TV shows that we're used to seeing on TV now-a-days, versus the people that watch them.

But you can keep doing you.

It might be a fine show on a technical level, but I still find the concept laughable of taking an old sitcom and making it a serious drama.

How about a Three's Company reboot, but Jack Tripper is actually gay and it's all about homophobia and acceptance? Maybe a Cheers reboot dealing with sex addiction and alcoholism? How about Seinfeld, but it's a drama about 4 people with psychological disorders? An Andy Griffith police procedural show where a sheriff solves all the various rapes and murders in a small town?

Did tc make the show or something? Shit is gonna flop

I can't pretend to understand the goings on in a weeb's mind but I assume that racial tensions and injustice is probably too difficult to comprehend for certain people such as yourself. Probably all that Dragonball you watch and 10 year old Fallout games rotted your ability to differentiate a good show from a bad one. A pity.

I'm not saying it'll go downhill because first of all, ratings =/= quality.
I mean millions will tune in for the hype alone and then half will drop off a week later and complain on social media about it nonstop until it's ultimately forgotten.

but then they will turn on The Bachelor or the Real Housewives of _____ and watch it happily? I think this show is going to have star power, I think it's going to resonate with people and it's going to be relevant with the times. I think it's going to cross social and racial barriers and it will touch people before going into the 2nd season. At that point, I have no idea how it will do as the trailer only shows up to the end of highschool .

I personally dont understand the vitriol for this show when even Will Smith thought it was a good concept

the Rosanne revival survived its first season AND losing its eponymous star and The Connors is apparently coming back for a third season. >_>

Im sure as long as this is good it will thrive for at least three-four seasons.

I cant wait to see Old Man Carlton lol

I hope they recast the actress for Aunt Viv midway through just to keep it true to the original show.

Honestly, I think this would do real well as a web show release to youtube for free or something.

re: this

The original Fresh Prince handled a lot of social issues and serious stories with just as much skill as it handled its comedy.

You can laugh all you want at Will and Carlton locked up in prison singing Ten Commandments, but as soon as Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv walked in the tone dropped. And then that stinger at the end where Carlton is looking to Phil for reassurance that cops will pull you over for driving too slow.

And hey, its not like a drama cant have comedy in it.

Any time Uncle Phil got pissed was great.

Dude came down on that shitty cop like the fist of God.

That's awesome. I hope it turns out good. The "trailer" was amazing considering it was fan made. I'll look forward to checking it out once it starts airing.

That's true, but it still overall was a comedy. The impression I got from what I've seen makes this show to be a straight drama.

People are just mad that the character "Will" isn't going to turn himself into a pickle for their comedic relief.
