I watched the first three episodes last night. Not great but also not bad in my opinion. My main complaint is they need to stop with the shout outs to the original show. I mean, it was ok in the pilot episode, but after that it gets tedious and takes me out of the drama.

I think the show has potential; so I hope they find their footing.

> Watched the first episode of Bel-Air. It is about a young man from Philadelphia who has his life flipped turned upside down when some trouble in his neighborhood leads to his moving across the country to live with his aunt and uncle. It is kind of…bland. I think it really worked better as just a joke trailer on Youtube.

(I later watched the other two. Still pretty gereric.)

Still watching this, and it is still too bland to exist on its own outside of being a parody of _TFPoBA_. It still has funny easter eggs, though. In one recent episode someone mentions something about importand family matters, then says something like “That was my favorite show! They should remake it!” And in the latest episode they finally—finally! showed someone doing The Carlton.
