I guess they are rebooting The Fresh Prince. The article I read used one of the red flag buzzwords “reimagining”. Article finally said the show plans to address “race and class”. I mean what would a show be in current year if it didn’t lecture us about race for the 10000th time.
I’m sure it will win awards. The three easiest ways to win are to “address racism”, have a female led program that bravely attacks the patriarchy, or a show about immigration where the not so subtle message is anything less than open borders is evil.
I’ll be happily watching reruns of Little House on the Prairie and Sanford and Son.
Didn't FP already address these topics? Remember an episode where one of Wills family members married a white guy and most of the family having issues with it and an episode where Carlton and Will got arrested for speeding in a nice car which turned into a racial thing and Carlton getting dared to live the hard life with Will's friend Jazz, going full thug and almost getting shot at some park while dealing drugs.
Did they tackle single motherhood in the black community, or the welfare state? The two things that actually wrecked the black community.
Single motherhood, yes. A running story through out is how Will was raised by a single mom, got into trouble (literally in the intro song) and was sent to live with his rich uncle and aunt to straighten him out. Sort of on the welfare thing, Will's mom worked 2 jobs and refused to rely on daddy government and didn't live in section 8 housing.....The episode where Carlton went thug also deals with a proxy that's supposed to be cabrini green, the WORST welfare apartments in the US to the point gangs ran the place.
