I remember there being a debate between folks about which show was better? Martin or Fresh Prince
To those who watched Fresh Prince when it was on air....
- Thread starter Wise
- Start date

DamienWayne
Superstar

Neo TheInsurrectionistONE
THE ONE
Yep. Would watch every week. I watched it more than Family Matters, which was my other favorite black sitcom in those days
Long Live The Kane
Tyrant Titan
you sure you’re not mistaking it for the parenthood or something ... definitely aired on nbc the entirety of its run
Mandarin Duck
Majestic and Highfalutin
Same here. I feel like I watched it mostly in syndication at first and then maybe near the end on the new episodes. Feel like it was that way for shows like this and Family Matters in the beginning. Maybe some other shows like Full House also. Would see them on syndication and then later on would start watching new episodes when they would come on TGIF. I was 5 when FP premiered so I was more into Ninja Turtles at the time. Didn't get into sitcoms like that until a few years later. But I do remember the ones mentioned being the first ones I would watch when I would come home from school. Actually reading the wiki and syndication didn't hit until 94. I was 9 at the time. I think Ninja Turtles was still going strong and Power Rangers had just started off. Family Matters was just starting in syndication. All these shows I was just starting to discover around that time, including WWE, since Raw premiered around the same time in 93. Was a great time for television as a youth. They definitely fed us well back then.

VOTE!!!
nah it was on NBC but the studio is Warner Bros. so you might be thinking of that. Warner Bros. logo is always shown.
I remember watching the 1st episode. definitely loved it as a kid. I remember my dad saying it wasn't going to last. I reminded him of that a couple seasons later. Kids liked the fresh prince, He made Parents just don't understand and a Nightmare of My street. those were definitely made for a young audience. I stopped watching as much as I got older tho
Martin was the SHOW...and New York Undercover was great too..Thursday nights..lol. I watched Fresh Prince for the bytches.

WB didn't even exist until 95, and UPN was later than thatNBC had FP it's entire run, then had the same producers for In The House with LL. And both Will Smith and LL debuted some of their new videos during the shows time slots. There was even a crossover episode with Carlton & Ashley on In the House
Shout out to NBC for letting hip-hop represent in prime time. Though they seem to have been mostly
since then.*edit* In The House was only on NBC 2 seasons, then went to UPN

UPN and WB didn't even exist until the Fresh Prince's last 2 seasons, the fukk you talking about?
It was on NBC and stayed on there.
TV shows were the only media to talk about back the day. There wasn't any memes, or viral shyt to talk about. So any popular show dominated the convo's back then.
I always talked about the latest episode of whatever show including fresh prince with my friends. Sort of like how people did with game of thrones, every show was like that to me.
