Yeah I can see the similarities. Funny set

I can't put my finger on it, but he got a lil spirit of Martin in him

 

[Lord Beasley]

No

 

[Cuban Pete]

We get to see Cole kill Martin’s turtle

 

[nose hair]

no thank you

Martin is such an iconic and legendary show, i don't want to see any movie, reboot or prequel of it.

let's just leave the Martin show, please.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Sounds fukking horrible

 

[Kenny West]

Modern Hollywood is really the worst

 

[WesCrook]

With Bel-Air it worked because there was a lot of episodes that were serious. Martin didn't really have that, except the break up/make up with Gina and even then it leaned towards comedy

And when Martin practically stole Tommy's suitcase

 

[DaylitoJames]

So… who’s gonna play Ms. Trinidad?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

lol

 

[King Static X]

Curious how they're going to portray modern day Detroit in this.

This is going to be a prequel series. So it would probably be set in the '70s or something.

 

[Stone Cold]

Drama?

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I guess they are going for the Young Sheldon angle with this…

fresh prince fit more of a drama angle because will and his cousins were younger and it had a stronger premise (fish out of water, kid from the hood gets in trouble) so it right away fits into a YA Drama. Fresh Prince was funny but Will wasn’t A comedian turned actor like Martin, who’s show really hinged on the jokes and hijinks more than plot.

i’m not really sure where the interest in this would lie. It would be like making a King of Queens prequel Drama about Doug Heffernan
