There Was A 'Fresh Prince Of Bel Air' Reunion And We Want A Comeback

Some things will never be the same again.

Freddos are undergoing a ridiculous price hike, becoming a shadow of their former 10p-self. Cards, collectibles and games of Stuck in the Mud are a thing of the past, replaced by smart phones and consoles. Even TV is getting shitter.

It's tough to think of a current programme that will trigger the same nostalgia in 10 or 20 years in the same way Fresh Prince of Bel Air does these days.

The Will Smith starring show was unbelievable, and alongside Friends has one of those theme songs that you just can't help but smile and sing along to.

It's great, then, that the cast reunited recently.

There is argument to say that the reunion is bittersweet, as Uncle Phil, played by the late James Avery, is absent, as well as it being unlikely that there's a comeback for the show. But it's nice to see them after all these years.

Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Will's cousin, Carlton Banks, uploaded a picture to Instagram alongside Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks), Karyn Parsons (Hilary Banks), Will Smith (er, Will Smith), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Aunt Viv) and Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey).

Ribeiro wrote the caption: "Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family." This was followed by a touching tribute to their deceased co-star: "Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete."

Avery had a big impact on the young cast on the show, so much so that Will Smith is actually slowly morphing into him.

Recently, the 48-year-old bungee jumped at Victoria Falls, something he's been meaning to do for 20 years or so, but it's a still image from his jump that caught people's eye.

At one point, when upside down, he looks the spitting image on Uncle Phil/James Avery.

Uploaded to Reddit, with someone coming up with the caption of: "This is story all about how, my face looks fat from upside down, I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I look like uncle Phil as I fly through the air." The image has gone viral.

It's so hard to sum up just how perfect this is. I mean, is that a rainbow in the picture, too? This is everything.

Obviously, you want to see the full video, so have a look here...
