Peace and abundant divine blissings!! This #episode was and still is epic!! Thanks for sharing this one with us!! We sincerely appreciate it, and you!
Thank you! We'll try to bring back the nostalgia for some of the many other epic moments our entertainment past!
I knew it was this one ♊️
That scene was so powerful. I remember it very well. And it hit me hard because I could relate. My so-called dad. Left me my mom and my two brothers when we're very little. And my mom raised us by herself. Then years later when we were teenagers my so-called dad came to visit us and it was very uncomfortable because we didn't know him. He stayed only a few days then left and we never saw him again.
That's a very unfortunate story, and I can only imagine how that affects one's life. I'm glad to that it sounds like you found some solace in this scene. It's so important for us to see stories we can relate to and realize we're not the only ones.
Top5 sitcom moments got water just watching again 😂
It was a real one!
Will was in bed with the executive producer
Will Smith was one of my favorite actors, I grew up on the Fresh Prince... Soooo sick of my childhood Hero's being sick Fk's that sold their Soul to the SICK Industry ... I Wish Hollywood would keep their SICK Lifestyle to their selves.. Most of US Are just God fearing Normal People JS !!!
Great video. Sound proof the room to lessen the echo. Tone down the big music. Great job otherwise.
I remember seeing it the day it aired. Very powerful moment the dialog between Will and Uncle Phil was so well written
One of the most moving moments in sitcom history!
Will Smith freestyle those last scene barely written if were written at all.
Great breakdown
Thank you!
good show, and man, was i ever in love with cree summer. couldnt miss that thursday night lineup too, it was legendary. the show deffo got better after denise left, the romance was sweet. good video
Those Thursday nights in 1992 were deep!!! Cosby Show --> A Different World --> Cheers --> Wings --> L.A. Law. Or you could've flipped over to Fox for 90210 at 10pm. It was a time!
