Not sure how I feel about this, what made this program so dope was not only Will and Carlton, but the era and the fashion... How can they make this program so cool if they bring it back???

'Will Smith is set to take that fragrant cab home to Bel-Air once again, according to reports.
The star, who made his name in the US sitcom ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ is said to be working on a reboot of the series.
US TV website TVLine.com says that Smith’s production company Overbrook is in the ‘early stages of development’ on a new series.
But what with Smith being a good couple of decades older now, he’ll be acting as the show’s executive – along with his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith – on the new project, rather than appearing on screen.
Though not currently involved in the project, NBC, the network which first broadcast the show has said it would be 'happy to talk to Will’ about it.
Smith, who was 22 at the time, starred as a fictionalised version of himself in the series, originally produced by music legend Quincy Jones, from 1990 to 1996.
Created by writer Andy Borowitz, it ran over six seasons and 148 episode.
Smith starred alongside James Avery as Philip Banks, his wealthy uncle, who he’s sent to live with in the upscale LA suburb of Bel-Air.
The show also starred Karyn Parsons as his airhead cousin Hilary and Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton, his other cousin with a penchant for expressive dancing.
At its peak it was watched by nearly 15 million people in the US, and was syndicated around the world.
The show went on to spawn a career in both music and movies for Smith.'

I'm getting tired of these old shows or movies getting rebooted for no ? reason other than some quick cash. Will is the man but him doing this would be a big failure. Especially if it's not him on screen and they try to do it with a completely new cast. Plus, Uncle Phil is sadly gone so this makes a new show pretty much irrelevant.
-
not sure how this makes sense in 2015... why not just do a different show with a different hook?
-
The dynamic has to be different. Show him as a family man, maybe get Jada or Nia Long to play his wife ... but without Uncle Phil and the original Aunt Viv, may be a bit difficult. The shows lure wasn't about him, it was about the cast and the era. But Will has star power though..ratings will be there.

Yeah it should be him as a family man, and something like him raising his family... Jaz has be in it somewhere there too... Imagine is Will was the successful one and Carlton works at some wack ass job he hates haha Also there was 2 or 3 aunt Vivs originally thought wassnt there??? -

Will and Lisa's parents got married. Nia Long can't play his wife -
You'd be surprised how many shows on TV are rehashed ideas from the 60s and 70s, or movies made into TV shows
-
As long as its not for Disney or BET it could work.

Yeah but this is the Fresh Prince bro... -
If they were creative, someone from Bel-Aire would move to West Philadelphia born and raised, because he dont appreciate enjoyin that california livin. But Hollywood isnt as creative as it use to be, since the internet took over and got them re-hashin ? .
That one's for free.
Ethers, thank you.
