The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Analysis

When watching a movie about high schoolers, there are usually many different groups of students who all conform to one social group only. Take the movie High School Musical for example. There is specifically one scene devoted to a song about fitting in with the “status quo”. There are stereotypical groups such as jocks, nerds, theater geeks, skater kids, and the popular kids in this movie and in other movies like it. Each of these groups can be broken down and explained more in depth.

Dennis Reynolds, of the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is a narcissistic man in his early thirties. Raised by stepfather Frank Reynolds, a successful business man with unethical methods, and mother Barbara Reynolds, a selfish woman who only married Frank for his wealth. Dennis and his twin sister Dee were raised wealthy but were often misguidedly taught to not seek affection through materials. For example, every Christmas Frank would buy gifts for his children only to destroy it while the children watched. Dennis attended the University of Pennsylvania to become a veterinarian while minoring in Psychology. He often tries to use his Psychology minor to his advantage, an example being his attempt to psychoanalyze his friends whilst berating the actual psychiatrist and mocking her for attending a subpar university. His academic studies were unable to translate into a career, however he is co-owner of the bar, Paddy’s Pub in Philadelphia. Dennis along with his sister Dee, father Frank, and two friends Mac and Charlie, use the bar as a hangout spot often concocting schemes and shenanigans. Though the bar makes very little money, Dennis maintains his lavish lifestyle with his father’s money often wearing high-end clothing, driving a Land Rover, and getting into sticky situations while placing little care on the financial ramifications. Dennis is vain, narcissistic and has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. He cares very little for others unless it is

Will 's group of friends seem to pick on him and judge him, which questions if they are truly his friends or not and if he truly fits in with him.

Overall, Will has had a troubling life, never feeling like he actually belonged. He was afraid to be smart and at the same time afraid to not be. The physical and mental abuse he suffered at the hands of those who are supposed to protect him, definitely scared him

For my TV show I chose The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air. The Fresh Prince is a well-known TV show that aired in the 90’s and made Will Smith into one of the best black actors of our time. This show pushed itself into the public eye and sitting in 2016 right now, no one really says anything about it but this is one of the first major shows (other than The Cosby Show) to portray African American’s in a positive light. We get to know these characters throughout the seasons and everyone loves them. Everyone loves how smooth Will is with females, and how Carlton is such a nerd, and how Hillary is as greedy as the day is long, and we see Ashley grow up. We have all of this regular family programming but it also hits on real life subjects. Will is black

Calling the Police when someone is in danger or in need of help, almost always makes the situation less stressful because we can trust they are there to do their job. Now days who do we trust when the those who we are suppose to trust turn into those who are feared the most. The Department of Justice reported over 8,700 sexual assault cases in prison, this is only the amount of inmates that reported the issue. Some inmates get sexually assaulted by other inmates, which is disgustingly normal. Other inmates get sexually assaulted by Correctional Officers, those who are there to protect them and maintain a controlled environment. Those are the cases that are hardly reported or heard about.

Imagine moving from Los Angeles, California to a small town in Wisconsin and not knowing anyone at the new school. Anyone in this situation would want to make friends that would accept them in the new town. This is the position Levi, one of the main characters in Elizabeth Eulberg’s Better off Friends, is in when he starts middle school. Macallan, the other main character, is the person that befriends Levi, and they become very close very fast. Being a new kid from down south, many people stereotype Levi because of how he looks and the way he acts, which was normal in Los Angeles where he used to live, but odd to the people in Wisconsin. For this reason the boys at school did not really want to hang out with Levi, and that is why he and Macallan become such good friends in a short amount of time. The two of them could find a lot that they had in common, even though they were from completely different places. Macallan and Levi were together a lot, so when they hung out just the two of them, people would think they were dating when they were not. This is the second stereotype addressed in the book; a boy and a girl that spend lots of time together do not have to be a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Throughout middle school and high school, they were constantly asked if they were dating, when they were not. Therefore, in Better off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg, Eulberg addresses stereotypes about where people come from and people of the opposite gender being just friends.

The moment that is most crucial to Will’s change was after he read the Book of Gramarye. The Book of Gramarye contained several verses and images and as Will read further and further, the book would take him on an actual experience of what the verses meant. With the experiences from the book, Will gained knowledge on things such as spells, survival against evil, the magic in trees, names of stars and planets, and the storyline behind the Old Ones. Using his new understanding of things, he starts to change by incorporating

Fresh of the Boat is a sitcom about an Asian-American family who moves from Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida. The family is faced with the problems of cultural differences in a white neighborhood. The show takes place in the 1990’s. The narrator is the oldest child: Eddie Huang (portrayed by Hudson Yang). The producer is Eddie Huang along with the executive producers: Jake Kasdan, Nahnatchka Khan, and Melvin Mar.

In the United States, there is a three percent chance of giving birth to twins (“Multiple”). In this circumstance, one twin will often show dominance over the other. This is very apparent in the relationship between Sharpay and Ryan Evans in the High School Musical franchise. There are three movies in this franchise where the dynamic between Ryan and Sharpay is slanted. Sharpay’s behavior is caused by many things, but one of the major causes is jealousy. Sharpay acts aggressively towards her brother and others because she feels inferior when compared to Ryan. Ryan is a nicer person than Sharpay, he has more true friends, he is more talented, and he also has a more prospective future. She also is jealous of Gabriella Montez because Gabriella is talented, smart, pretty, and dating the star of the basketball team, Troy Bolton. Sharpay’s struggle for control and her fight for Troy’s love is a central conflict of the franchise.

Have you ever heard of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show aired in the early and mid 1990s and was very popular. It was a big hit then and is a big hit with me now. I started watching it when i was 8 land liked how funny it was and also liked the storyline.

Kramer did not appear in two episodes of Seinfeld. The first was “The Pen” in the second season and the second was the “The Chinese Restaurant” in the third season, in which Jerry, Elaine and George wait to be seated at a Chinese restaurant. The actor Michael Richards was so upset about being left out that they never made another episode where all 4 stars did not appear.

Media Critic: Orange is the New Black Television revolutionizes the way people see themselves and the world around them. It has made a significant impact in society whether it is for better or worst. Writer Jess C. Scott said “People are sheep. TV is the shepherd.”

We all remember those famous beginning lines from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, this show became a national icon in the 90’s for families and teenagers across America… but what happened to it? From 1990 to 1996 Fresh Prince was a main show to watch for viewers across the country at night, they touched on so many subjects including: racism, family, sexism, gun violence, etc. How could such a great show that touches on all the views and challenges that society was going through come to an end in the sixth season? The show failed due to three reasons; it was starting to become out dated, it was running out of material, and the show could not keep up with the turn of the times. Overall it was a great six seasons and taught a lot of people what it was like to

The artifact I have chosen to analyze is the following scene from the show “Orange is the New Black” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtAaXM1GAgw). This scene displays an interaction between two prisoners and friends, Poussey and Taystee. Poussey is furious with Taystee for ending up back in prison after being released. Taystee attempts to explain herself by claiming that prison is easier than attempting to live a normal life after prison. Poussey smacks Taystee and angrily states that her mom passed away while she was in prison and she wasn’t there to say goodbye so Taystee has no reason for walking back into prison “because freedom was inconvenient.” To this Taystee responds by sincerely claiming that life after prison is “some kind of joke”; in the real world she doesn’t have anywhere to stay, she owes the prison money that she doesn’t have, and everyone she knows is “poor, in jail, or gone”. At least in prison she knows “where to be and what rules to follow”, has a bed, and gets dinners. I argue that this scene portrays the many ways in which America’s criminal justice system negatively affects the average African-American significantly more than it does the average white person.
