OK we got to meet some cool crossover sitcom show's from the 70's that guest starred for a few minutes on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air like The Jeffersons and Diff'rent Strokes, but would anyone have liked to have seen a memorable sitcom like The Brady Bunch family all grown up trying to buy the house from Will Smith in the I Done part 1 or 2 episode ???

No really, actor Robert Reed died in 1992. But I wish this show ended in 1998 instead, so Will can graduate from college on time in this series finale. I know this show focuses on mansion rules, but there type of rules should help Will graduate from college on time.

The series finale did feature memorable shows- Diff'rent Strokes and The Jeffersons. I think they were kind of going for a theme here- "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" seemed to be paying tribute to other shows that either featured predominantly African-American casts or at least had some memorable African-American stars. In that vein, The Brady Bunch wouldn't have worked too well. However, "Good Times" would have been a possible candidate- except that I really don't see the Evans being able to get out of the ghetto and afford to buy the Bankses' home- but who knows? Maybe.
Both Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Drummond were in good positions from their respective shows (financially speaking) to be able to afford the house.
If they had had some of the cast of The Cosby Show make an appearance, I could maybe see Dr. Cliff Huxtable and Mrs. Claire Huxtable making an offer for the house. In any case, I love the ones that they were able to get and I think it was really cool to see Mr. Drummond and Arnold make another appearance, as well as The Jeffersons. (This is not the only episode The Jeffersons appear in either.)

Will was a junior when the show ended in 1996 so that means he would have graduated in 1997. He mentioned to a friend of mine during the penultimate season the next would be the last anyway.

The show should not have end in 1996, even if Will was a junior back then. It should have ended in 1998 so will can graduate from college on time and he can find a new job, a new girlfriend, get married and start a family. I know the show focuses on mansion rules, but one of the important mansion rules is to help Will graduate from college on exact time, nothing else.

I think the show should have started earlier. The early seasons are the best to me and I think it's because of the late 80s-early 90s urban feel. The show should have started in 1987-1988 or 1989 at the latest and ended in 1994 and lasted seven seasons.
