For Christmas the whole family goes to a ski cabin and they get robbed.

A sweet Christmas episode that brings laughter and true spirit of Christmas.

It has funny moments, I especially love Carlton in this episode. Him telling Will he loves him and then sing so that Will strangles him saying that he loves him was a great scene. And the special thing was of course the amazing dance Carlton did that we all love that much.

Will's mom was also fun in her very positive way which is very unusual and surprised everyone in the family.

It also gives a Christmas spirit since they all give each other not gifts but love in this family. Besides Geoffrey who made us laugh since he is British and not so much into the mushy stuff.

Even though I've seen this episode a million times, it was today (March 21, 2017) when I watched this episode on disc three of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air season 2 DVD, that it really hit me that the Carlton Dance was introduced to the world back in 1991.

And Carlton did the dance out of nowhere. Ashley was dancing and then the camera panned to Carlton doing his famous dance by himself and then he moved the dance to near the front door of the Banks' rented cabin.

It was that scene and then season three where Carlton's character really started to get popular.

For an actor that is as talented as Alfonso Ribeiro is, it's kind of messed up that most people remember him because of the Carlton Dance. Because at the end of the day, Alfonso Ribeiro can act his butt off!!!

The origin of Will Smith's fame and too many mentions from The Graham Norton Show got me to binge watch this series which I think has a potential to be a typical one-time-watch sitcom. The creators made the relations pretty much clear from the first frame now all one seek and wait for is their character development through this journey with hopefully no dips on content or humor. The relation between Will Smith and Tatyana Ali seems interesting (something to look forward especially when she grows up) and is definitely supposed to bring the laughs whilst with James Avery there is a soft spot hidden in there.

After the first season which basically was just a mere introduction to every character and their mundane life which puts more pressure on them in the second one for they better thicken the plot and develop the character further more if they care for the quality offered to the audience. The relation between Carlton and Will is surprisingly been far better than any other for it encourages the typical sibling rivalry and a knack to pull each others leg.

The track is predictable and nothing new except for the robbery part (even though being tied up, the kid still doesn't leave his video game) which barely factors in for the whole 'get together' between the joint family overpowers it and takes up its time.
