I didn't feel like Fresh Prince had a satisfying ending. What do y'all think should have happened?

[Rollo Goodlove]

I didn't know people took sitcoms so seriously. nikkaz talking about Will Smith's Fresh Prince character "disappointing" them

Forreal these nikkas bout to have an intellectual debate

[supanegro]

The part that killed me in the first part of the finale


Philip: So, Will, did you find a new place?
Will: Uh, well, Uncle Phil...
Carlton: Yeah, it's a great place.
Vivian: How does it look?
Carlton: Well, it's got ceiling-to-floor doors, and wall-to-wall floors.
Will: Carlton's just playin', y'all. There's something I have to...
Philip: So, when do we get to see it?
Will: You can't.
Philip: Why not?
Carlton: Because it's tinted. You can't see inside of it.
Will: Carlton, it's okay, man, I can do this. You can't see my apartment, because I don't have one.
Carlton: It's a condo.
Will: Okay. That's all right, Carlton.

Last season was so garbage I blocked it out, just like Martin.
Its a shame most of these black comedies just fizzled away.

the clown with the fake bomb

mad dog

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

Dont skip the episode where they went on witness protection

They really did almost hit Family Matters status with some shyt

That was a fake episode that Will and Carlton did to hustle Jazz. And that was one of the best episodes of the series.

 

[Taadow]

Tell you what shoulda happened, cuzz...



When the Banks found out they sold the house, it should've been an anonymous buyer.
When the family is moving out on the last day, the new owner comes in...

















...and it's Jazz. All this time he had money - he was just lowkey. Who knew?
So he says Will can stay there and they can be roomates.

Then he throws Uncle Phil out on the lawn. Boom - perfect ending.

You right
I forgot they was playing cards or some shyt

 

[Mike the Executioner]

I felt Will got too silly in the last season. You could feel the character progression throughout the show up til the marriage with Lisa. Then it's like they just completely went in another direction that final season.

I remember the premiere for the next season after the wedding episode perfectly bc it started with Will just chilling in the house bored acting silly as hell. That same episode he burned the house and was acting real bufoonish. I was like watching him tryna put out the fire by sprinkling water on it.

Still the goat sitcom tho.

I'm watching this episode now. It's uncomfortable as hell having everyone give Will the like he's not even part of the family. Plus, he comes off like a little kid wanting everyone to pay attention to him and play with him.

You're telling me he can't go hang out with Jazz, play some basketball, or call up Lisa and just pretend they're not brother and sister now? Like @K-Slim said, they started treating him like an extra mediocre lame at this point.

Will and Lisa should've gotten married. I read that the writers were always working from the standpoint that this could be the end which is why one season had that ending of him being in philly. And even the ending with he and Lisa not getting married was because they realized the show would go on and I guess they felt they couldn't write a compelling show with a married will but I disagree. That's character growth. That's the proper journey from where he was when the show first started. Marry Lisa, move out and start his own family

Will was a bachelor. He wasn't meant to get married. Him having a girlfriend period just felt weird

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

It ended perfectly.

Will standing in the middle of that empty living room was the perfect symbolism of the end of the road.

Will was a bachelor. He wasn't meant to get married. Him having a girlfriend period just felt weird

I disagree. If the whole point of the show was his moms sending him out to Bel Air to grow up and become a man, and him completing that arc from boy to man, then him being married finishes that arc. He would then have a kid and impart that same stuff to his kid that uncle phill and his aunt and moms taught him. For all the dating he did, Will was quick to fall in love on that show, so clearly he wanted that and wanted that life
