The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: (1990-1996)

Those were the years...

I've already admitted that she was my favorite character. However, Alfonso Ribeiro (a.k.a. Carlton Banks) was the funniest character in my opinion. Will Smith was the star of the show but rarely was there an episode without a classic moment from Carlton Banks. For example, I present exhibit A.....

I DEF. have to agree...Carlton (Alfonso) made the show for me.

I agree. Carlton made me laugh everytime he was on the show.

That dance was the bomb though. I used to watch the reruns on Nick at Nite, but they're kinda gettin on my nerves now. I think one of my favorite episodes was when they ended up in jail driving Uncle Phil's partner's car to Palm Springs (or wherever they were going).

But to answer your question about crushes, since I missed it, Will Smith was one of 2 guys whose picture I actually slept with under my pillow. I was convinced he wasn't gonna stay with Jada, I was gonna end up in Bad Boys 2 and marry him and have the rest of his babies. Cuz GOOD LAWD that body was beautiful in both Bad Boys, especially when he was running with his shirt open.

I remember when Carlton sang "911 Is A Joke" like a Vegas lounge singer and I was done for years after that. Alfonso Ribeiro has made a helluva career being a black dork, some might then he did it better than Jaleel White. At least I do.

some might think, rather. Damn late night typos.

So a black man sings and dances for a bunch of white folks and yall are just eating it up.

Loved the show, but my comment/question is to Journiemajor....

Did you see the beginning of IRobot? If not, your really need to! LOL

I think the first Vivian made the show, cuz when they switched up the show started to suck!

I loved Alphonso Ribiero, way back in the days of "Silver Spoon"...
But Carlton was the silliest...gotta love em...*lol*

Sherlon Christie said...

@d.l. sands...what?

journiemajor said...

I don't think I did ladynay. I remember wanting to hold off seeing it, I certainly wasn't going to pay to see it, and I semi-remember it, but not really. He has never looked again like he did in Bad Boys.

Sherlon clearly has good taste in tv, but you ain't a Fresh Prince fan if you don't have that li'l clip of the "Carlton dance" as one of your MSN emoticons...
