Starring: Will Smith, Karyn Parsons, Alfonso Ribeiro, James Avery
Burnin' Down the House - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: Right before Will pours the liquid into the pot, you can plainly see a fire extinguisher on the counter behind him. It's gone when the fire is actually burning.
Burnin' Down the House - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: The cognac bottle is almost empty when Will passes by the counter, but when he turns around to pour the liquid, the bottle is full.
Will Smith: Yo, Carlton.
Carlton Banks: Yeah?
Will Smith: Those cops were just doing their jobs?
Carlton Banks: Will, don't get all bent out of shape.
Will Smith: Man, you ain't learn nothing this weekend, did you?
Carlton Banks: I most certainly did. Always bring a map.
Will Smith: What?
Carlton Banks: If we would have had a map, we wouldn't have had to drive two miles an hour trying to find a freeway entrance and we wouldn't have been stopped.
Will Smith: Oh, OK, OK. I get it now. We were stopped because we were driving too slow. Yeah, we were breaking the slowness limit. Oh, OK, well you see, I've never heard of that law before, but I did hear this other law. It's called the "if you see a black guy driving anything but a burnt-out Pinto, you better stop him because he stole it" law. Yeah, I've heard that one. Oh, but see, I thought it was the black guy law when in actuality, it was the slowness limit law. Oh, thank you for sharing that with me, Carlton. Good night.
Trivia: Janet Hubert plays Vivian Banks, mother of Hilary Banks (Karyn Parsons). In real life, Hubert is only 10 years older than Parsons.
Question: Does anyone know why Janet Hubert-Witten was replaced? I've heard rumours that she didn't get along with the rest of the cast, is this true?
Answer: To avoid the confusion, I mentioned "Good Times" only in response to a former submission on here that she was on Good Times at one point (that submission was deleted shortly afterwards, but my Good Times response somehow stayed on here causing the confusion.
Answer: She was never on Good Times. She didn't start acting until the early 80s. Good Times ended in 1979.
This question isn't about Janet being on Good Times. It's about her being replaced.

Answer: She became pregnant in real life, which would have messed up the story line. They would have had to add a fifth kid.
They did add a fifth kid.

Answer: Yes. It's very true. Janet quit at the end of the third season because she claims that Will acted horribly, bullied cast and crew on the set and got her fired for no reason. Alfonso Ribeiro however has called her "cuckoo" and stated that her claims were baseless. He also stated that she was very difficult to work with on set. Even James Avery agreed and often had to remind her that the show was called "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and not "Philip and Vivian of Bel-Air."
