Subject: Another reboot - Bel-Air to premier in February

Written By: batfan2005 on 01/11/22 at 6:58 pm

Another reboot of a popular Early 90's series and one of my favorites, set to premier on Peacock on Feb 13 (Superbowl Sunday).

Reboots, remakes, rehashes of the same stories. That's almost all Hollywood is still capable of. ::)

This reboot could be good, I might want to give it a watch when it comes on but you never know, it could be a flop.

I wonder when they’ll start rebooting classic porn?  Such as Behind the Green Door or 1976’s Tell Them Johnny Wadd is Here? ???

It would be one thing if it was a continuation of the original with the original cast and characters but with a newer generation of characters (like Saved by the Bell), but this one is more like a remake. Only it's going to be more of a drama than a comedy.

Sorry LB But I don't think they'll reboot classic porn, let The 70's and 80's stay in the past.

I wonder who'll play The uncle since he passed away a couple of years ago? Everyone else is still much alive.

I’m tired of these remakes. Even reboots, like Fuller House, that kept the cast. 20 plus years later it’s just not the same. I’m a huge fan of Fresh Prince too. And the fact that this remake is a drama instead? Uhhhh

I wonder if Alfonzo Ribeiro will make an appearance?

Well it looks like Jenna Jameson won’t be putting out any new product any time soon. She’s been diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome, and can no longer walk.  :-\\

I just watched the pilot episode. It's actually a lot better than I expected. It's not necessarily based on THE Will Smith, but more of a present-day Gen-Z version of himself with the current culture.

Will the original cast be there?

Nobody from the original cast. It's an all new cast playing the same characters with the same names set in present time. It's also more serious and dramatic instead of being a sitcom, and talks a lot about the current issues.

For a start Will Smith will look a bit older now, and Tyra Banks is probably too busy now.

I hope the butler plays a role in the new sitcom.

Tatyana Ali is in Season 2. She plays a school teacher for a class that the new Ashley (Akira Akbar) is in.
