Sadly, James Avery, who played Philip Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, passed away back in 2014.
Still, the Fresh Prince reunion special should be a cause for celebration among fans, although I for one will be disappointed if there’s not some kind of recreation of the opening credits with the iconic theme song and/or Alfonso Ribeiro busting out his dance moves for “the Carlton.”
Ribeiro clearly didn’t forget the moves when the show ended!
The night will reportedly be full of music, dancing, and special surprise guests, so I’d say the odds of at least “the Carlton” are pretty great.
