Shatner on the Fresh Prince

I've been in the habit recently of catching a Fresh Prince every morning on TBS before I head out to work and I just caught the episode where Shatner guest-stars and gets out of his head on laughing gas. WTF? How was I not aware of one of the greatest episodes in television history until now?

"You better recognize!"
 
I'm disappointed that this isn't Shatner ranting ABOUT the show.
 
Wow, what's with the sudden return of Fresh Prince? It's like an internet meme now and yet I find even non-pop culture types watching the show.
 
I just finished Shatner's autobiography, "Up Till Now". It's amazing how hesitant he was about endorsing products or being type-cast in his early career.

What "return"? This show has been popular for as long as I can remember

I didn't realize people en masse have been watching and enjoying Fresh Prince since it was canceled. I guess I should watch more TV and pay more attention to YTMND.

TBS understands the demand for the Prince of Fresh and it serves it appropriately.
 
The Shatner episode is probably my favorite Fresh Prince episode of all-time.

I just about died laughing at the scene in the dentist office. :lol
 
when we were in the states last week every day we would watch Saved by the Bell on tbs when we got up, and fresh prince was on after if we decided not to get breakfast :D
 
Now this is a story
all about how my life
got twisted upside down
and id like to take a minute
just sit right there
ill tell you how i became the prince
of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelphia
born and raised
on the playground my momma said
most of my days
chilling out, maxing
and relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball
outside of school
when a couple of guys
they were up to no good
started making trouble in our neighborhood
i got in one little fight and my mom got scared
she said your moving
in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air

i whisted for a cab and when it came near
the license plate said fresh
and had dice in the mirror
if anything i could say that this cab was rare
but i thought nah, forget it
yo home to bel-air!

i pulled up to the house about seven or eight
i yelled to the cabbie yo home, smell you later
looked at my kingdom i was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air
 
My friend discovered Fresh Prince last year during the summer when Nickelodeon aired a marathon. He fell in love with it, and we're trying to make a drinking game for it.

I've been making Fresh Prince cracks since the show aired.
 
I never used to like it when I watched re-runs before but just recently I've really started enjoying it. It's a good family show. And recently I've caught a couple of the "very special" episodes, such as the one where Will takes uppers to stay awake while studying for exams and the one (today) where Uncle Phil has a heart attack.

Where Will's dad comes back makes me

In high school this popular girl kept triggering something in my brain and I was like "hey fellow nerdfriend, who the hell does this girl remind me of?" And we couldn't figure it out. Denise Richards? Not really. Somebody from Star Trek? No.... and then one day she was giving a presentation and I was like OH NO

"Stacey!"
"What?"
"She looks like CARLTON."

It was kind of amazing to realize that we went to an all-girls, 98% white school and we had a Carlton Banks lookalike.

We never said anything to anyone else at school, but sometimes we would hum "it's not unusual" when we saw her.

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
Hmm this might be alright!

Everyone leaves that out. It was only during the first three episodes of season 1 apparently, but still, that is no excuse
 
which is the one where they rent out the house for a music video, and will and his friend go, i was trying to be in the video, will then says: if you want to be in a video go rob a liquor store.
