Worst episode of the entire series??

[Blackout]

in my opinion there are only TWO episodes i find myself not watching the entirety of


1-Will gets shot. what is the purpose of his episode? to scare young kids about being shot?


2-Carlton takes those pills and looks like he's on ecstasy. this episode was awesome until he winds up in the hospital, so it's basically like half a funny episode.



I really can't think of any other episodes I didn't like. Maybe the one with the horse was pretty lame but the writers were mailing it in at that point.

All members of this show ran out of money too soon before the end of its sixth season.

Um, yeah, sure.

For me, it is the one when Will has gotten a new look while staying with his mother in Philly over the summer. I so hated how Uncle Phil reacted to this and turned his cousins against him. Not to mention what a lousy friend Jazz was, and how Uncle Phil even grounded Hilary, who already was an adult! There were some other episodes out there, which also had a share of stupid moments, but this one was the worst of them all.

The series finale was the worst, even if we think it ended well or not, the way they finished the series was too weak.

at least they didn't kill anyone off at the end lol

I recently saw the episode when Will was going to marry his girlfriend. Instead its his mom and the girl's dad who get married. What them two brain dead parents obviously did not get is that when you have kids, them kids are to be first in your life. As if Will having a dead beat dad was not enough. His mother just had to go and be a tramp too? Will should have washed his hands on her too!!!

God bless you always!!!

That was a weird episode, yes. Neither Lisa or her dad were seen again though, so I guess that we were supposed to have forgotten about it when the next season started.

The worst episode of "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air," without a shadow of a doubt, is "I, Clownius" (season six). A psychotic circus clown named Juggles holds Uncle Phil, Carlton, and Will hostage. Need I say more?

Thanks for posting, Blackout! Enjoy your evening!

I agree with you completely, irehtman. The series finale ("I, Done") was disappointing...it seemed like everyone was moving on to greener pastures except Will. I would've wanted to see Will return home to West Philly--a little older but a lot smarter, with a new outlook on life--caring for his mother instead of remaining in Southern California.

I would've wanted to see Will return home to West Philly--a little older but a hell of a lot smarter, with a new outlook on life--caring for his mother instead of remaining in Southern California.

Although, I think "moving on to greener pastures" might be too erratic. But they insist that being tired was the reason, then they need to be more careful completely.

I have never liked "Love at First Fight" from Season 1. The only scene I can recall enjoying is the dinner table scene during which Carlton ribs Will for not being able to impress Kayla. Other than that and the Yo Mama fight between Will and Kayla, this episode plays out more like a soap opera than a sitcom.

Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more, Mark Mallard..."Love At First Fight" (guest-starring "A Different World" alum Jasmine Guy) is an uneven episode from "Fresh Prince's" inaugural season; despite Jasmine's earnest (but lovely) performance, there were some moments in that episode that nearly ventured into "after-school special" territory.

My favorite moment in "Love At First Fight" occurs when Vivian reveals to both Kayla and Will that she dropped out of high school and left town with a guy; Vivian also confessed that she cleaned hotel rooms by day and attended night school to obtain her diploma. I've always wondered if Vivian ever revealed her secret to Philip and their kids (Hilary, Carlton, Ashley, and Nicky). It also would've been interesting to see the guy Vivian ran away with (as a teenaged, high school dropout) resurface in her life unexpectedly in a subsequent episode, angry and jealous over their breakup but still holding a torch for her.

Too bad Kayla never appeared in another episode...it would've been entertaining to see Kayla and Will reunite several years later, both older and wiser...perhaps the two would've ended up together as a couple.

Thanks for commenting! Good night!

My problem with "Love at first sight" is Vivian's bitchy behavior, towards Kayla in particular and working class people in general.

True, it is fully explained why Kayla flunking College hit such a nerve with Vivian: it happened to be too close to her own life story. But still, she had no right to interfer with the life of one of her (adult) students like that. And actually, Vivian's life story proved that flunking at one time isn't the end of the world. After all, Vivian managed to go from a poor High School drop-out to a College professor. Even if Kayla had flunked out of College at that point, she could have tried again later on if she wanted to. Right?

But the most annoying thing about the whole episode is a line from Vivian, about how Kayla's scholarship is the difference between her becoming a doctor or a cleaning lady. And even though the show treats this like a moment of huge wisedom, it ony makes me shudder. Because she makes it sound like if you have a low-paying menial job, you're just a complete loser. And she also makes it seem like only a person with a fancy College degree counts in her snooty world, despite the fact that she turned out to have been a cleaning lady herself at one point (and we found that out in the same episode, no less). Yes, I'm aware of that this is not what the writers intended. But that is how it comes across to me, and it rubs me the wrong way.

All in all, I now dislike this episode so much, that the last time I caught it, I only watched the first half.

"Love At First Fight" was indeed a disappointing episode, Furienna...as I mentioned in my initial comment, it often veers into "after-school special" territory.
