The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Season 1 [DVD]

I bought this as a gift for someone who wanted it. It arrived early ......it was exactly what they were looking for....the price was right........it was a win!

The Fresh Prince is a great tv series. It is meant to be a comedy that doesn't take itself seriously. Lots of overacting but it works for the way the show is designed. It does also have shows that are a bit more serious that are centered around moral situations. Will Smith made it to where he is today by refusing to use profanity and to be a positive role model. In the beginning of the series it is true that he acts like an idiot and very silly, but as the seasons goes on he evolves into a much more mature person but still with a sense of humour and laid back style.With all the crappy tv on these days with violence and excessive sex, and stupid reality tv shows, it is reFreshing to have an alternative that still gives you a laugh without being over dramatic. We really don't have tv shows like this anymore. The show lasted over 4 seasons for a reason! I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who has never seen it before. I grew up watching this series as a kid, and to this day I still find it highly enjoyable!

My son scratched the disk that came with his set, so I bought this to replace it. He is happy with it.

This is one of the best shows of the 90's and stars 80's rap star Will Smith and co-stars Alfonso Ribeiro(and the Carlton Dance). The show, while having a fantastic cast, also sports one of the catchiest theme songs since the courtships of eddies father.The story follows Will Smith who is sent to live with his well to do aunt and uncle in Bel-Air, after he gets into a fight in his hometown of West Phillie. This of course is all explained in the catchy theme song I mentioned earlier.Perhaps my opinion is biased. I grew up watching this show, never missing an episode, and while I was never as cool as Will Smith(Or Carlton for that matter), I could live vicariously through their hijinx!So, if you watched and enjoyed this when you were younger, pick it up and give it a watch again. I guarantee you will laugh and love it today, as much as you did then. Never seen it before? You owe it to yourself to experience this piece of television history

Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a television classic that shot the beloved Will Smith into stardom. It's funny, informative, powerful, and entertaining. Will Smith's frequent breaking of the fourth wall and the comedic timing of music and effects make it a pleasure to watch. The characters are lovable and it's a joy to watch them grow and mature throughout the series. The show deals with topics such as ethnicity, equality, female empowerment, self-worth, and adolescence beautifully. Kids will laugh at Carlton's awkwardness, teens will laugh at Will's "rebel attitude", adults will laugh at the intelligent and well used jokes, and even the elderly will get a kick out of references to times gone by!

I love this show I can watch this all day, I am getting season 2 next.

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES! I had been looking all over, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, everywhere...no on carried the first season of Fresh Prince. I finally checked Amazon and I saw it was only $22.00! I was thrilled to recieve it! THe shipping was about 5 days, which is not bad at all. The packaging was just as portrayed in the image, and the dvd came with four discs of pure laugh out loud comedy! This is a MUST buy!!!

I bought this for my son who is 10 years old. Here is his review: This season was soooo funny. I first started watching Fresh Prince in re-runs on TV and I loved it, so I bought the fourth season. It was great. And then when I got the first season, it was even better. The first four episodes on this DVD have an extended theme song. If you are a Fresh Prince fan,you'll love the first season.
