there’s an episode where he imitates Ali, saying “Im a BAAAAAAD MAN!”
i saw it right after i saw the movie ALI. my jaw just sorta dropped when i saw that, haha. who would of thunk it.
Can you believe it’s going to be on Nick @ nite though!!!! it’s insane! LOL I remember seeing that show just a few years ago… when did the series finale show? How long ago, I mean
I thought Geoffrey was the funniest out of all of them though. And Hilary. Oh gawd, Hilary Banks, LMAO
But it’s going on Nick @ Nite!! Only shows like “The Brady Bunch” and “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy” deserve to be on Nick @ Nite. They’re so old!!!!! Fresh Prince is so… fresh… Haha
[quote author=“Andreux”]Hillary Banks was da best though. I still think that. LOL
Hilary to her dad on getting her mom knocked up:
“Daddy, I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say… ew…”
Hillary was great. I loved it when her boyfriend proposed while bungy-jumping off of a bridge and he died. There’s like a 30 second pause and I can’t help rolling on the ground in laughter every time.

LMAO That was a great part. I can just picture them. Didn’t their heads all bob up a split second when he bounced off the ground?! LOL
And yes, Ashley did indeed get hot. =P
This is becoming a Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air appreciation thread. LOL
I didn’t have cable through-out most of my childhood, so this is basically what I watched…
Love the show, and I was as surprised to see it on Nick @ Night…I mean, I Love Lucy is on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Fresh Prince was doing his thing on Fox in the 90s….
Although, I think it’s deserving of such an honor…
[quote author=“sweet jesus”]What the hell ever happened to DJ Jazzy Jeff? Did uncle Carl throw him out too many times and now he’s crippled or what? I loved that show.

Meanwhile DJ jazzy jeff walks around the streets of Philadelphia asking memorable one liners such as—‘are you gonna finish that?’; ‘Spare some change?’; Can I clean your windows?’

My roommates and I have been blasting our MP3 collections on the stereos in our apartment, and our favorite tunes are the 80s and 90s songs. We actually made playlists of all our favorite 80s and 90s tunes, and make a game of seeing if everyone else knows what song you are playing is. Plus, a good website for that is http://www.onehitwondercentral.com where they have lists of all the bands who made one hit wonders!
on the ipod, theres a game where it’ll play a random song out of your library, and you gotta choose what song it is, the sooner you pick, the more points you get…its pretty fun when you’re really bored.
