Is The Fresh Price of Bel Air the greatest sitcom of all time?
I'm kinda thinking it is. I'm not prepared to make some elaborate, drawn out statement to back up my opinion, but I am prepared to discuss with you good people the finer points of it.

Phoenix Nights and The Royle Family are both better, but as far as long running sitcoms go yeah definitely up there.

I like how they dealt with some issues that had previously been untouched. Also, Will Smith really is a great actor, and when they had 'serious' scenes, they actually felt serious. Will and Carlton's chemistry was just PERFECT, and Jazz made me laugh almost every time. God, I love that show.

Awesome show but I can't watch it anymore because they've shown each episode about 20 times on tv.

I dunno, I think Fresh Prince reached a broader audience. For every person that loves Seinfeld (myself included), there seems to be a person who can't stand it. I never hear people say they don't like Fresh Prince.

I dunno man, it's good but Seinfeld is the greatest, Cheers is pretty damn close, Friends is up there, along with Home Improvement and yes even Rosanne (I hated that show but people loved it).
Fresh Prince was the best among "tier 2" sitcoms. IE Family Matters, Full House, Saved by the Bell. |

Friends is actually shit. Was popular but the show was cookie cutter. Frasier was better. But yeah, Seinfeld is pretty much untouchable. I think only Curb Your Enthusiasm can come close, and I wonder why. |

Yeah I def love the Fresh Prince. If I had to choose between Seinfeld and Fresh Prince though I'd gotta go with my main man Costanza.

Unfortunately, they are still alive. Keenan is on Saturday Night Live, and I think Kel was in some Pepsi commercial with a fat chick.

Fresh Prince was really good. You could probably throw it in a top 10. They did touch on some really deep issues, and had some funny moments. But let's not forget some other good shows like Step by Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Seinfeld, etc.

I would probably say the UK Office as the best sitcom of all time, but I don't consider it a sitcom.

tbh. I watch a lot of tv. And Arrested Development was by far the best comedy on TV.
Best show on TV period? 24. Sorry. Jack Bauer> everything no matter how bad season 6 was. |

Fresh Prince was awesome. Will Smith is an amazing actor. The serious scenes they had were amazing.
Seinfeld was definitely better, but Fresh Prince is up there. |

Fresh Prince is definitely up there, but I'd put Three's Company above it. Probably a few others if I really think about it.
