Underrated cast? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Am I the only one who thinks that the supporting cast of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is very underrated? I guess a lot of that comes from the success of Will Smith.

And the networks have taken notice, because most of the cast is not having a hard time finding work, I have seen almost every member of the cast guest star on a current sitcom.

Almost every character on that show could make me laugh. The only exeption is that add a kid Nickey and Vivian number 2, (I saw her guest star on Eve and she was funny on that show)

But also the writing is great. It does not matter how talented you are, if the writing sucks, you are not going to look good.

I agree 100%!!! That was a great cast and the semi regulars were funny too. Nia Long character, Jazz was funny and many of the guest were funny too. The writing was excellent on that show!

I take this cast (minus Will Smith just to make it a fair fight) over the cast of "Friends" any day of the week.

Especially the character of Geoffery. He always made some smart ass comment that was funny but rarely would he receive credit for it.
