Really reminds me of when I liked will smith
3 January 2021
This show definitely wasn't as iconic as hindsight makes you believe, popular no doubt but think the Smith hype distorted what was just a good sitcom into something it wasn't. There were great moments, brilliant character development but for me it was just good, I like rewatching stuff like saved by the bell but this doesn't bother me too much.

It became a vehicle for smith rather than a great ensemble, Carlton had the dance, Ashley the odd rap, then rest had small roles in the show. The respect to uncle Phil was lovely, he was great, RIP. So this documentary came out and straight off it was just the will smith show, it felt like a star thanking people who help make him rather than a team. Bar the James Avery moment, this was just more arrogance from smith like in shark week or YT, he just tries to seem like he's in, every generation he tries, I went from being a huge fan to missing films to just thinking he's a bit in love with himself, has an odd wife and kids who should've been protected Better

Nice to reminisce I guess but I genuinely think people think they liked this more than they did at the time. If this hadn't of been smith I doubt this show would be remembered much at all, judging by the lacklustre careers the rest all had, sums it up
