I really like this episode because there are a lot of Michael Jackson references.
In one part Carlton does the "Smooth Criminal" dance to rescue Will's date, which is really cute and funny.
Later in the episode Will is doing his homework and all his celebrity friends come over or call him.
One of them in Quincy Jones and he mentions helping Quincy with "Thriller" and then Bo Jackson comes over and Will thinks it's Michael Jackson. "Tell Michael I'll work on his dance steps later..."
It's really funny.
What a pop culture icon Michael was. He was referenced on TV shows all the time and his songs were anywhere and everywhere. He definitely left his mark.
Here are a couple of links to those scenes on You Tube.

Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton) was in a Pepsi commercial with Michael and his brothers back in the 80s.

Great pic, and I did not know that.

I didn't know either, that the boy in that picture would become Carlton Banks, before someone told me about it.

And look, I found the commercial on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd15YVb2M6M
