I saw one of those Biography specials on Will Smith. Said he ran into producer in a parking lot somewhere that recognized him and they started chatting and he thought Will Smith was perfect for his idea about a black teenager from the hood being transported to a preppy upper class neighborhood.

I don't know, I was watching In Living Color DVDs and they are kinda painful to watch now. btw, you are now linked from my site foo. Yeah!

i was watching a newer episode of fresh prince on nickelodean tonight and i still find it very entertaining. the in living color dvds are pretty bad, but sketch comedy really has a tendency to degrade over time, especially stuff like in living color where it focuses so much on a specific demographic.

You know I happened to catch a rerun of the first episode on tv a while back and was shocked to see the longer run through of the theme song.

Finally, the truth is out there.

I knew I wasn't crazy. i remember hearing the full version theme before. The same thing happened with "Married w/Children" theme.
