The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air/WMG

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Phil's current will grants Will a considerable amount of inheritance, which is equal to, or worth more than, Carlton's portion.

Which is why Carlton always mentions that he hasn't revised his will whenever there is the slightest chance of Phil dying when resolving an episode's conflict.

  • This is Jossed I think in one episode. When Carlton learns he's about to get a baby brother, he complains about having to split the inheritance four ways. If Will was in the will, they would have to split it five ways. Of course Phil could have changed his will again in a later episode

The entire series is Will's coma-dream.

The opening credits decribe Will getting "in one little fight" (against several, larger guys) in the rough neighborhood he grew up in. This results in a coma, wherein he dreams about a life far removed from the urban hell of West Philadelphia in the 90's.
