List of episodes

The first season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air premiered on September 10, 1990 and concluded on May 6, 1991. In the pilot, Will Smith is revealed to be a street-smart teenager from West Philadelphia, who is sent to live with his wealthy relatives at their Bel Air, Los Angeles mansion. His relatives include Phillip Banks, Will's strict and gruff uncle, and Vivian Banks, Will's no-nonsense, forthright, and career-minded aunt. Other members of the Banks family include Carlton Banks, Ashley Banks, Hilary Banks, and Geoffrey, the family's English Butler. Will's lifestyle often clashes with that of his relatives there, and frequently got him or other members of the family into trouble as well.
