Fresh prince of bel air season 1 episode 24

Even though Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil treat Will like a son, thereвЂ™s a major difference between Will and his cousins. Will and Carlton are evicted from their apartment and Will tries to avoid moving back home. 'WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY (PART II)' SEASON 4, EPISODE 2Д¬aveat: I think I may be partial to this episode more for what it says symbolically than what happens in the episode itself. Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv are the parents you wish you had not because theyвЂ™re idealized and unrealistic and not because their lives are difficulty-free, but because theyвЂ™re willing to undergo those difficult phases together.Д©. In the last scene, she sits down with her parents to have a frank discussion. But as the episode progresses, WillвЂ™s own inexperience deems him unfit to counsel Ashley. Will tries to tell Ashley she should talk to her mom and Ashley says itвЂ™s too uncomfortable. Will has a short-lived moment of self-reckoning but the crux of the episode is more focused on what a healthy relationship looks like between parents and teenagers. You donвЂ™t want to be that kind of girl.вЂќ Ashley replies, вЂњYou mean the kind that you like?вЂќ Ashley forces Will to confront his own hypocrisy when she reminds him that he never calls the girls who donвЂ™t get physical. Will says, вЂњI want you to stop having these feelings. When Ashley asks Will about sex, he freaks out because he canвЂ™t fathom his younger cousin coming into her own sexuality.

Their relationship is one of the most well-crafted bonds in the show and it shows a side of Will that complicates his womanizer image. 'BE MY BABY TONIGHT' SEASON 2, EPISODE 23ДЄnything with Will and Ashley is heart-warming.

The Fresh PrinceвЂ™s greatest legacy is that it helped facilitate discourse about what it means to be a minority by making the issue a primetime one. The show packs so much heart and manages to teach without feeling didactic. The show addresses a spectrum of issues that range from standard suburban teenager problems like bullying and peer pressure (вЂњNot With My Cousin You DonвЂ™tвЂќ and вЂњShe AinвЂ™t HeavyвЂќ) to much more nuanced societal problems like interracial marriage (see #5) and what it means to be a single mom (вЂњVying for AttentionвЂќ). There are so many quality episodes that didnвЂ™t make the list that address serious subject matter: classism (вЂњGeoffrey Cleans UpвЂќ), sex (вЂњThe Best Laid PlansвЂќ), bribery (вЂњTo Thine Own Self Be BlueвЂ¦and GoldвЂќ), drugs (вЂњJust Say YoвЂќ). The beauty of the show is how it balances darkness with levity (did anyone actually think TrevorвЂ™s death was tragic?). The class commentary is sophisticated and brutally honest, especially for a comedy. WillвЂ™s antics brought to light issues like racial profiling and representation (вЂњ Father Knows BestвЂќ) when they werenвЂ™t part of mainstream discussion. James AveryвЂ™s Uncle Phil was such a powerful father figure that he gave a young J. The show may be anchored by Will SmithвЂ™s once-in-a-generation charisma- but the rest of the cast are no slouches.
