I'm so glad Janet and will squashed the beef. Was surprised baby nicky showed up :wow:

Didn't even notice Alfonso bounced when Janet showed up. Still very bitter it seems.

I wish it was longer. They could have talked about Janet's last episode and Daphne first where will broke the 4th wall, i don't know. Those 75 minutes flew by :wow:

Yeah, I remember when Janet left the show . Me and everyone I know knew it wasn't her fault why she bounced . Lack of social media and the internet back then saved Will and Alfonso. Great to see her and Will burying things and giving her her own segment . The show could've went another year if cooler heads prevailed .

Didn't notice Alfonso dipping when she arrived on set though HBO and Will more than likely wanted the audience not to notice either.

I just don't give a shyt about Daphne (New Aunt Viv) had to say. Especially after she said how she originally turned down the role because she didn't want to work with a rapper :mjpls: Of course she changed her tune after the show became a hit .

They gave her too much speaking time for someone who was just filler :camby:

Jeffery looks great :leon:

Uncle Phil was like a teacher to the entire cast :wow: I know he took Will under his wing after the show ended to help with his movie career. For there was a time Will wasn't someone people took serious as an actor because of The Fresh Prince.

:krs: Nicky appearance

Don Cheadle has come a long way

Good seeing Jazz looking healthy

Tatyana Ali and Karyn :takedat:


Overall great special

He didn’t really have a “role” so to speak but Janet didn’t like some of the “kiddish” behavior that he and Will displayed on set. They’d do “Your Mama” jokes and pranks and blast rap music and stuff like that.


Basically anything your mom or auntie would get annoyed with when you were like 15-17 except yoi can’t tell the star of the show to go to his room lol

I don't blame her for having that reaction. Fresh Prince wasn't a guaranteed hit. This was really the first time that hip hop was breaking into mainstream television, and the star of the show was someone with literally no acting experience. With her background and credentials, I can see why she was skeptical until she saw what the show could do.

That was one of the problems Janet had with being on the show, because she had been acting for years, honing her craft, but some 22-year-old rapper gets his own show when he's never acted a day in his life. Mouthing other characters' lines during tapings, being goofy and making it seem like he wasn't taking the job seriously.
