I said to the cab driver yo holmes smell ya later
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Season 5 is the continuation of the always funny and often heart wamring tales of Will Smith playing a character of the same name. Season 5 leaves off where season 4 ended. When we last saw Will, he had returned to Philadelphia with his California Aunt and Uncle and cousins in tow. After attending a Phillies game and reenacting scene's from Rocky will finally confronts the very bully that sent him packing for cali in the first place. The first episode of season 5 leaves off with Will's dilemma of now that he has finally erased the unfair label of him being a chicken in philly, should he stay or should he go back to California. Other memorable episodes in Season 5, and there are many is Aunt Vivian and Uncle Phil's appearance on Soul Train, to commemorate their anniversary. Will Smith also shows his acting chops and shows his dramatic acting abilities in the episode where Will takes a bullet for Carlton. An image that still evokes emotion is the final scene of the episode where Will lays in a hospital bed and begins to cry after he convinces Carlton to hand over the gun he purchased to protect himself and his cousin Will. Season 5 introduces Will's new and through the rest of the season love interest Lisa played by Nia Long. Which results in even more hillarity. Especially Will's interaction with her father played by John Amos. ( Good Times)Ironically a little know fact is Jada Pinkett Smith was originally cast to play Lisa, but producers deemed her too short to play a love interest to Will who is 6'3 and chose Long instead.If your a fan of the series, Season 5 is definetly a must have to add to your collection. The great thing about Fresh Prince is there isnt a weak season in the series and the show doesnt loose steam through it's 6 year run. As always Will's one liner jabs at his Uncle Phil are plentiful and the consistant comedic timing and chemistry of the odd couple cousin's of Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro characters is worth the price of the dvd alone. I highly reccomend this dvd to anyone who is a fan of Will Smith and who loves any of the other previous season's of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. My two year old daughter even loves to watch The Fresh Prince and always sits to watch it when I pop in a dvd of the show or we catch it on tv. And that's saying something because she doesnt sit through many tv-shows and isnt captivated by them unless it's Elmo or Nickelodeon cartoons.You can really see the cast enjoyed working together and had fun. Especially when they would show bloopers at the end of the episodes. Maybe then it's no wonder why anyone who has watched Fresh Prince can easily imagine The Banks as a real family.
