If you have HBO Max this is streaming now. It’s excellent. They have the two Aunt Vivs meet.

This looks so fun! I don't have HBO but I'd love to watch it. I couldn't help but smile while watching the trailer.

I was ready to call bullshit on this whole thing til the end of the trailer with the original Aunt Viv thing.

That's legit. It's too bad things went the way they did with her and I'm glad amends may have been made. She was definitely the better Aunt Viv.

Made me very happy to see they're showing her respect.

damnit... I still get misty eyes when Uncle Phil appears... James Avery's death really hurts

 

[Kenpachii]

Kinda to late as phil is no longer there. still a nice effort tho. All of them aged well it seemed.

Freaking loved this show when it aired.

It's for the 30th anniversary of the show.

I trust Will Smith to make it good

 

[lock2k]

Carlton looks the same. This was a great show all around

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Damn kinda not the same without Uncle Phil.

No offense but without uncle Phil this just doesn’t seem right

Everyone feels the same way, but there's not too much you can do when someone's dead.

I hope the OG aunt viv makes a surprise appearance

[Slings and Arrows]

If they can 'Richard Gilmore' Uncle Phil, then i can see it working.

Cool news! Sucks that James Avery isn't here to be part of this. Really liked him.

Just finished. Fantastic from beginning to end. The James Avery tribute really got to me. One of the best television dads ever

 

[Javthusiast]

Love the show. Sucks no HBO Max in europe.

He wasn't a dad. He was an Uncle. C'mon

Watch it before HBO kills it:

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Uncle Phil, having passed away nullifies the entire reunion for me.
Don't forget, he was also Shredder in the original TMNT cartoon.

 

[Kreen101]

I watched the whole thing.

They overdo the sentimentality. It would have been more interesting to have more anecdotes and insight on the behind-the-scene creation and writing of the show. Instead it's mostly people crying at memories.

They also overplay the "revolutionary" aspect of the show. It was just a sitcom, and not the first to feature a Black family. Alfonso Ribeiro saying things like "what WE created" completely leaves out the all-important writers, who actually came out with all of those stories and jokes (and who were all White, so the "this is an accomplishment by Black people" angle rings false).

It was also a show that both Black people and White people enjoyed, which is missing in these sad, "woke" times, where you're supposed to only relate to characters who share the same skin color. They should have made that point.

 

[Foamy]

It really was an excellent show.
