James Avery himself wanted to do one more Season, but the ratings were declining, and many fans of the show were complaining that the show was getting stupid, plus Will the actor who was roughly 29 was getting tired of playing 23 year old Will Smith in a family sitcom (this is what happens when the actor is roughly 6 years older than his character), and wanted to go on and do mature movie roles.

I think it ended at the right time, I was watching out of habit so it didn't matter much whether it continued another season or get cancelled.

I agree. One more year would have ruined it.

Mr. Television · 02-23-2015, 08:11 PM

I stopped watching about 2 years before it ended.

seasons 5 and 6 have some of the best episodes ever

Wasn't Blossom gone by that point too? I think that was around also when NBC was focusing more on hits like Seinfeld and Friends that were about young single people.

Didn't Will get married? We met him in his late teens. Shows usually end or change for the worst - which leads to the end of the series when the main character marries ( or in some cases gets pregnant.) You can't be The Fresh Price AND be married. It's an oxymoron!

Mace Dolex · 02-24-2015, 05:39 PM

Yeah and I don't think viewers would have cared for a spin-off called The Fresh King Of Bel-Air.

No, that plot is contained entirely in season 5. Then Lisa disappears and you never hear about her again.

I didn't really like that season.

Or I was thinking that had he moved to New York City after College then they probably would've named it The Fresh Prince of Manhattan or The Fresh Prince of Queens or perhaps The Fresh Prince of Harlem, but yes, I agree with that statement

also, I agree that Will Smith was getting tired of playing The Fresh Prince and the last episode came in @ the right moment

also, the last 2 seasons were low on the ratings as the last 2 seasons competed against The Nanny when CBS moved the show to Monday Nights competing against Fresh Prince and moved back to Wednesday Nights after Prince ended and adding Ross Bagley as Nicky didn't help the ratings either, but Prince still had great moments on the show

The Nanny cracked the Nielsen Ratings Top 30 during the 94/95 Season and cracked the Top 20 during the 95/96 Season and Fresh Prince was @ #55 for the last 2 seasons and when Fresh Prince left NBC, not only did The Nanny move BACK to CBS Wednesday Nights, but also, Alfonso Riberio who played Will's cousin Carlton joined the cast of In the House (another show produced by Fresh Prince Producers Quincy Jones and David Saltzman) when the show moved from NBC to upn and James Avery also moved to upn as the star of the Lawyer Comedy Sparks and the show lasted 2 seasons

in THEORY the series should have ended with Will get married or Will settling down somewhere

SPOILER

obviously it ended with everyone else getting their **** together first and will spending the series finale wondering what to do

Mace Dolex · 02-26-2015, 12:18 AM

Its hard to believe the Fresh Prince was getting its ass handed to it by a mediocre crap like The Nanny.
