Fresh Prince of Bel Air-Complete 4th Season (1993)

"Pretty much anything Will does results in laughs...  Rebecca Taylor, DVDAnswers.com
"...a crossover hit, repeating the success of series like "The Jeffersons"...  Sandra Dozier, DVD Verdict

Editor's Note As the 1980s turned into the 1990s a new star was born when rapper/actor Will Smith donned the guise of THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR. Shipped out to California to live with wealthy relatives, he sets about teaching his adopted family some street-smarts, while his original reason for being there--to learn some old fashioned beliefs and values--rapidly falls by the wayside. His Aunt Vivian (Janet Hubert-Whitten) and uncle Philip Banks (James Avery) can't control him, and the laughs continue to flow as The Fresh Prince attempts to get everyone else to fit in around him, including cousins Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro), Hilary (Karyn Parsons) and Ashley (Tatyana Ali). Now a legendary part of early-1990s television scheduling, this release includes the fourth season in its entirety.

Well, this is the show that formed the bridge for Will Smith to go from "Parents Just Don't Understand" to punching aliens in the face in Independence Day, and then later punching Asimov in the face in I, Robot. And though now it's mostly a show that lives on in syndication and gets flipped past whenever seen, giving it a second look on this DVD set shows that it's aged fairly well. Sure, the fashion is terrifying but what counts is that the humor is still good. And Will Smith is just so...well, so darn likeable...that you're sold the moment he starts using the door knocker at the beginning of the pilot episode to bust a beat.
