The Banks go on the Oprah show.

Hilarious episode. I love how excited Will was and how everyone was afraid to tell him that he isn't booked on the show. And all his questions were very funny too. I must also say it was hilarious how the Banks made Oprah show look more like the Jerry Springer show. And the ex girlfriend of Trevor being so much like Hilary was also a good part of it.

A Night At The Oprah

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.

The second season definitely narrowed down the priorities and showed what they will focus on and what it is all about like Geoffrey, Vivian and Ashley turns out to be supportive (at least for now it seems like) cast while surprisingly Carlton and Hillary had almost parallel role and maybe also because these characters are strong and have genuine depth in them. And as far as the plot is concerned they still haven't advanced from what they started so they better boost up and bring out the big guns.

The build up to the scrutiny that is portrayed in here is worth the time spent and so is the show and the guest appearance but beyond that it fails to deliver the essential points that would satisfy the viewers and instead goes for the punch lines.
