About This Quiz

"Innnn... West Philadelphia born and raised..."

If you can't finish this theme song, you might struggle through this quiz, but if you can, you're probably a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air expert!

In 1990, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air premiered on NBC. Starring Will Smith, the story followed a young teen (with the same name) who was forced to move from his native Philadelphia to the wealthy city of Bel Air.

Packed with a dynamic group of characters, Will seemed to be a breath of fresh air in the stuffy Banks' household. After his introduction to California, the house and the world was opened to his antics and laughs. 

After six seasons and just under 150 episodes, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended its laughs with the world, but not before delivering hilarious plots and unforgettable characters.

Which character was constantly being thrown out of the house by Uncle Phil? What style of dance was Aunt Viv performing when she proved that age was nothing but a number? What classic song did Carlton love to dance to?
