'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' reunion full of love, laughs - and Aunt Viv What was it like seeing everyone again? Reid, 72, who’s been married to actor Tim Reid since 1982, answered a few questions about the “Fresh Prince” reunion, her many endeavors outside of acting - including photography (five books) and a clothing line ( Daphne Style) - and her upcoming movie “The Business of Christmas” (Dec. And I understand you were able to move forward but you know those words calling a black woman ‘difficult’ in Hollywood is the kiss of death.” The reuniting cast of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” includes (from left) Will Smith, Daphne Maxwell Reid, Karyn Parsons, Alfonso Ribeiro, Joseph Marcell, Tatyana Ali and DJ Jazzy Jeff. (He’s remembered in a touching tribute.)

Bar the James Avery moment, this was just more arrogance from smith like in shark week or YT, he just tries to seem like he's in, every generation he tries, I went from being a huge fan to missing films to just thinking he's a bit in love with himself, has an odd wife and kids who should've been protected Better Nice to reminisce I guess but I genuinely think people think they liked this more than they did at the time.Bruce Springsteen addresses Taylor Swift tour theory on Jimmy Fallon So this documentary came out and straight off it was just the will smith show, it felt like a star thanking people who help make him rather than a team. The respect to uncle Phil was lovely, he was great, RIP. It became a vehicle for smith rather than a great ensemble, Carlton had the dance, Ashley the odd rap, then rest had small roles in the show. There were great moments, brilliant character development but for me it was just good, I like rewatching stuff like saved by the bell but this doesn't bother me too much. This show definitely wasn't as iconic as hindsight makes you believe, popular no doubt but think the Smith hype distorted what was just a good sitcom into something it wasn't.

Its great to see the cast back on the set shooting the breeze, remembering the finest moments, cracking on each other. ![]() The tribute to the beloved Phillip Banks is very emotional and the cast really tells us how much he meant to the show. You cannot talk about the show without mentioning the rock, the foundation Mr James Avery. We even get a nice appearance at the end from Nicky. You see Will, Carlton, Our Two Aunt Vivs (Janet is terrific), Geoffrey, Ashley, Jeff all back in the environment they thrived in. The cast we loved from Bel Air all are back for a reunion that is perfectly done, in my opinion this was done better than any new season could have been. Join the cast of one of the best sitcoms of all time for an emotional look down memory lane through the highs, lows and hilarious moments.
