Blending teen show tropes with the trappings of a family sitcom, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is much more than just the show that launched Will Smith's career into the stratosphere. It's as much about the family as it is about Will's troubles and triumphs in high school and beyond. Some episodes focus a lot on the other characters, poignant themes of racism and gun violence, or the hilarious-in-hindsight '90s fashions. It's a memorable show for teens, though, because we can't ever forget that Will, with all he's gone through, is basically just a kid — and that's what makes the emotional core so resonant.
