1 Carlton proves he can survive in Compton with Will and Jaz (and a crew of bootleg gucci bag salesmen lol)

2 Carlton loses his virginity

3 the one where Carlton finds out Will cheated with his girlfriend Paula and they get into a fight

4 Carlton threatens to kill the administrations guy at Princeton

5 Carlton wants to become a pro bowler and even earns the nickname "Pins"

I love the episode when Carlton's long lost love comes back to say that Carlton is the father of her baby. I loved when Carlton sang "Mandy" to the baby. He has a beautiful voice.

I also loved the episode when Carlton threatens to kill the Princeton guy. That one was funny.

I'm so glad they made that one with Vivian #1!

I'm so glad they made that one with Vivian #1!


great observation my friend!


vivian #1 was perfect...and i mean absofreakinloutely PERFECT for all the episodes where the kids screwed up and needed parental guidance


vivian #2 was just as good in laid back situations but you could never take her seriously like that first mom.





oh man it's such a damn shame they can't do a reunion episode of this show since James Avery passed. NBC should have done one within the decade anniversary of the show ending.

another one i'm thinking of, because it hits close to home (lol) is the PSAT episode where Carlton gets caught cheating off Will



I lost that season 2 disc 1 YEARS ago by accident and i've been too lazy to ever replace it. I just catch the reruns every time they're on TV and if i see Fresh PRince on I literally always check to see what season it is, incase it's one of those missing 5 or 6 episodes on that disc I don't have anymore.

I own every other season.

Vivian #2 was like a 50s Mom. I can't imagine her storming into the room the way Vivian #1 did.

Vivian 2 was more believable as Hilary's Mother

You're right. Shopping buddies.

she stopped being a teacher at some point, right?

They could still do a reunion show and just say that Uncle Phil died.

the show would NEVER be the same without uncle Phil though


maybe a Carlton spinoff

Despite that I love Carlton, I have a hard time coming up with a top 5 list of Carlton-based episodes. But I have to mention one, that nobody has remembered so far: the one where he wants to get into a black fraternity, but the leader rejects him for being a "sell-out".

YES! I love it when Carlton requests to play some Barry Manilow or Rod Stewart, hahaha!

Here are my Top 5 Carlton Classics:

1. "72 Hours"
2. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Screams"
3. "The Alma Matter"
4. "I, Bowl Buster"
5. "Bourgie Sings the Blues"
