fresh prince of bel-air is an adventurous tv show about will smith trying to find his father. I highly recommend this show as well as Shrek The Third, Chef and a lot others. He later finds out that his father did a runner to Zimbabwe and was later revealed that he was involved with bank robbing from Shrek. They then took over Zimbabwe and drove their imaginary cars (which they dont have). Will goes on the hunt for his father but ends up as part of the crew. Rainbow Dash is Will's pet pony from My Little Pony. This show is 10/10 and highly recommended.

This show is my childhood, I used to watch it a lot in 2011, [I was only 3]. I recently finished all the seasons and it made me upset. Reason I give this a 4 star is because later on in the series the story line wasn't making much sense. I found it better how Will stuck with one girl for a while though, instead of going onto others in each episode. Also, RIP James Avery, very good actor and funny. Miss this show so much.
