Is "the fresh prince of Bel air" a family show?

[Cortez2301]

I've been watching it ever since I was a kid and it really has that feel.Would you guys say that it is?

[The Myst]

What's your question here? Is it about a family or is it a good show for families to watch?

[Cortez2301]

If it is a good show for families to watch? I mean I know there is language and sexuality but there are family shows that are TV-PG.

[TheMecca]

Actually, most of the show has a sexual overtone. For example, when his mother "got scared" and moved him to Bel Air, it means he was about to get gay married and she was conservative.


Edited for consistency to the show.
Really though who cares

[LazyReaper]

I thought he moved to Bel-Air because he got into a fight. I don't see where the whole gay thing comes from.

And it was just his mother that sent him. His father left him as a child.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" is pretty family-friendly.

The "eFresh prince of Bel air," on the other hand, gets kind of raunchy for an infomercial for urban-themed iMac knockoffs.

For example, when his parents "got scared" and moved him to Bel Air, it means he was about to get gay married and they were conservative.I hope you're joking, because that doesn't make any sense if you've ever seen the show. Not only was he very interested in the ladies from start to finish, it was quite clear he was sent anyway because of a fight. In fact, a later episode had Will return to Philly to face off against, as he put it, "The dude who be spinning me over his head in the opening credits."

Edit: I need to type faster, because TheMecca's response wasn't there yet when I wrote this. That joke didn't look like a joke though... Could have used a </joke> type of disclaimer.

As for the topic in general, most episodes do have that sexual component to them. However, an innocent child probably wouldn't see most episodes as anything but Will trying to date women, because the sexual stuff is usually just implied. That said, there are a few episodes that go beyond implications and I wouldn't want my hypothetical future children watching the show at young ages simply because of the way Will treats women.

Well I learned a lesson today, don't mess with Fresh Prince of Bel Air fans...

Um...okay? Yes. It is TVPG. Yes, that can, amazingly enough, qualify as family friendly programming. This is one of the most pointless threads I've ever seen.

OH GOD not this again. I can't believe anyone finds jokes difficult to read on the internet...they're just as obvious as they are in person, and one of my biggest principles on message boards is that absolutely noone should ever, ever use any kind of "disclaimer" for a joke or a sarcastic retort. Not even a smiley face. It is a crime against the gods of humor and anyone who does it is a bad person!

Where I come from everyone just assumes everything online to be a joke before they consider that it may be a true statement. I don't know what 's wrong with people who think the web is meant for anything else.

This is one of the most pointless threads I've ever seeen.First of all, you never insult me again.NOthing I do in Toonzone is POINTLESS.Also not every TV-PG is family friendly.Friends isn't a family show despite getting TV-PG rating at times and neither is Frasier or Becker or Seinfeld.
