I agree, but at the same time don't think the marriage itself was crucial enough for the show to jump the shark.
If lisa and will don't get married and their parents don't get married, does the show jump the shark?
I didn't feel like Fresh Prince had a satisfying ending. What do y'all think should have happened?

the marriage shyt was just asinine to me
but tv just does the same ol tired shyt over and over again once a show gets into the whole "uh oh! what do we do now?!" part.
and
and why they try to play me like Nia Long wasnt already a character in the Queen Latifah episode when Will was in HS?!
Jazz do some fukkery scam where he convince some big wig cac daughter that he's a world famous DJ and his cousin is a famous rapper, so they can do a party getting $10,000. Since the cac daughter doesn't know who the rapper is he try to convince Will to go along with it right before the party starts.
At first Will is like nope not gonna do it, then Jazz tell Will that it's for 10 grand and they can split it. Since Will doesn't what to do with himself since everyone is leaving he goes along just for the money.
Will does the Parent Just Don't Understand song and the big wig cac turns out to be a record executive that signs Will and Jazz to a record deal.

They should've had it end it like M*A*S*H, with Will telling a story about the Vietnam War in a mental hospital
If they pulled that, people would be talking about it til this day

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
Eh, you have a point there. I just don't like how they dropped the ball on Will and Lisa, to be honest. They were a great couple.

Why did he stop playing ball though? He was easily a Division I prospect? I never understood that either, could have paid his whole education.

This is off topic but honestly...why the hell did Will allow this to happen? I mean ALL of it...the feminine dress-wearing nonsense...the weird, mystic, interviews...associating with Kardashians...ridiculous twitter account....why?
The Karate Kid was a decent little sleeper hit....no it wasn't gigantic, yes it was a remake of a popular 80's classic, and yes it had Jackie and Taranji bringing in some fans..but it was still a nice vehicle for Jaden, and showed that people were willing to see him in movies.
It seems that After Earth really destroyed these two. Will has said as much in past interviews, and it seems like Jaden also started laying this bullshyt on more heavily after as well. I understand it was a huge flop...and a set back for them...but most of the backlash was shared between both them, as well as M.Night, so it could have been manageable. Also, it seems like people just disliked the obvious cronyism of Will being in the movie with his son (Regardless of how much cronyism plays in Hollywood...they put these guys on the poster and people just weren't feeling that).
Still...they should have buckled down. Why not fall back, regroup, and create a vehicle with a smaller budget for him? They should have tried to get him a Back To The Future/Chronicle type of thing; something with him in highschool, but with some added hook to bring in genre fans. Or, if they wanted to go a bit more racy, go with a Dope type of movie, maybe try to solidify/build a black fanbase, or even bring in some of Will's older urban market that was brought up on those types of flicks.
Instead, they decided to just allow him to publicly implode.
fukking stupid. I can't blame cacs for this. No the Hollywood elite weren't trying to see this black family build, but the Smiths did themselves no favors whatsoever.
Sorry for the off-topic rant. shyt just frustrates me. These clowns had a chance to form a mini-dynasty, but Jaden decided to be a clown, and Will let him do it. Smh.

I feel like it's unanimous that they really botched the ending after the had will and Lisa break up. Still pisses me off to this day. Y'all don't understand how made I was when there good for nothing parents got married off the power of a one night stand 
. Just tossed Lisa and will in the bushes completely with that move cause you know they weren't about to be on some step husband wife shyt

Thought it ended ok. Will tended to have maturity issues and every now and again we'll see him be responsible. Even when he went back to Philly he was immature and the bully had matured and basically told Will that it's time to move on.
I think the ending left a feeling of optimism because he's still learning how to be mature.
