Thoughts on Bel Air? Is this a fair assessment?

[Doobie Doo]

How can it be a new show if they’re using the same original plot and have all the characters with the same names

It's not the same plot it's the same premise.

The had to use the bel air name because it gets black people to check it out... Imagine if this was a completely new drama with different characters with a different names.

It doesnt have to match the original show. This is a drama and not a comedy. Im happy. The fresh prince is a classic.

My question is..Is the show good and worth watching or not?

 

[Tryna Makit]

How do you know you’re instincts were correct if you never watched the show

I knew because I pay attention to what's trending, what's hot right now, what's on the ......."agenda" currently, if you will.

And my instincts told me.
That uncle Phil wouldn't be the same standard for black fatherhood and masculinity as he was before....they gonna throw dirt on this shining example somehow, probably gonna give him a drug habit or make him a deadbeat dad.

They chose corrupt politician

My Instincts told me there would be a bullshyt gay angle because we gotta have homo's in everything now I guess.

And then boom, Ashley gay now, because...why?

All I'm waiting for now is Aunt Viv to emasculate Uncle Phil in front of his kids and the cypher complete lol.


Im Sure it's a cool show tho.....

Shows nice but they better not have aunt Viv cheat on Phil.

And I hope they don't show her naivety to Reid's obvious advances

She ain’t naive. She likes the attention. She ran to San Diego first chance she had and used the donations as a excuse

The show was always intended to be an update of the Fresh Prince. They didn't set out to make a black show and then looke Will Smith saw the original parody/short/trailer on Youtube and reached out to the creator.

The reason it's so different from the original is because this is what happens to every project. It gets updated and upgraded for the times. Most people's beef is that it was done in cheap ways.

If the creator of the trailer owned the idea they probably would have bought it and fired him. That's what always happens in Hollywood. 'Story by' seldom ends up as 'Written By'.

Since he didn't own the idea (the IP is not original) they kept him on to help develop the series and get him paid...as more of a symbolic gesture. But I bet he had very little say.

Uncle phil is not corrupt a politician though, and he’s also damn good father.

If this shyt didn't have the name "bel air" and use the names of the of the same character would you still check this out? And removed putting will smith's name in the trailer

 

[head shots101]

These woke social media cats annoying as fukk

show is crack

 

[YouMadd?]

Curren$y had the best take on Bel Air. Just think of it as an alternate Universe on some Rick and Morty shyt….

 

[kingofnyc]

It's not the same plot it's the same premise.

isn't it about a kid from west philly that gets into trouble & moves to Bel Air with his rich Aunt & fam ?

The had to use the bel air name because it gets black people to check it out... Imagine if this was a completely new drama with different characters with a different names.

so, your saying Black people wouldnt have supported a completely new show ?

 

[mag357]

Muthafukaz watch tv shows?

 

[Luken]

They forgot to do Geoffrey

Bodmon/Rude Bwoy Geoffrey has already lapped the OG Geoffrey

 

[OfTheCross]

Didn't OG Carlton pop some "energy" pills? Wasn't he about to let the chopper sing when Will got shot?

Being able to recall this off top is hilarious
