Hey Will Smith, Relax, There's No Reason To Reboot Fresh Prince (Especially Because We All Know It'll Star His Stupid Kid)

Mashable – Will the Fresh Prince reign again? Possibly. According to TVLine, Will Smith’s Overbook Entertainment is in the super-duper early stages of cooking up a possible present-day take on 90s cult hit The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The goal, said the site, would be to put a “fresh spin” on the story, which originally saw Smith’s “west Philadelphia born and raised” character suddenly living in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood with his extended family. Smith would reportedly would serve as an EP alongside others, including wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. Fresh Prince aired on NBC from 1990-96, but has lived on — and seemingly grown its audience — in the years that followed thanks to multiple syndication deals with networks like TBS and Viacom Media Networks.

Will Smith, calm the fuck down bro. How about he gets his life in line before he starts coming after mine? He has his dumb ass kids tripping on LSD every day, his wife is leaving him, he’s in a cult, and allegedly he’s way into guys. So yea, it’s safe to say he’s probably going a bit crazy. And this confirms it. We do not need a Fresh Prince reboot starring Jaden. We don’t need Jaden climbing Will Smith’s stairs.

Fresh Prince is a classic show and cannot be “redone with a new spin”. It’s like making a vegetarian burrito- sure it’s called a burrito, but the inside sucks and I want to throw it on the floor and poop on it. Will Smith should focus on making sweet movies again like Independence Day or busting out new jams like Gettin Jiggy Wit It. I’ve always said Will Smith should do a worldwide music tour. So many smash hits, Wild Wild West has a top 10 hook of all time. We just need him to do anything besides remake Fresh Prince.
