    Father Knows Best

    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 thought had a potential to be a typical one-time-watch sitcom, but turned out to be something more than that. 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, that it fortunately delivers till the end. The relation between Will Smith and Tatyana Ali seemed interesting on earlier season where the writers could have gone easily (but wasn't explored to that extent) and instead were directed towards Alfonso Rebeiro that draws out the laughs from your typical "sibling rivalry" formula whilst with James Avery there is a soft spot hidden in there that binds it all.

    The fourth season is probably the best season up till now as it goes bold and doesn't even flinch on taking huge decisions by visiting new places, tracks and characters that are interesting, emotional, humorous and more importantly sensible. And they also began this eerie approach on the characters and their awareness of the outer world that is flat out hilarious.

    Father Knows Best starts off great with an eye on a brilliant concept that unfortunately fumbles its way down the road before it ends up into a ridicule piece that leaves the audience puzzled and undercooked with not a single laugh in its last act.

    Ashley secretly drops out of school and joins a public one. When uncle Phil finds out he wants to make her go back to Bel Air Academy.

    A really fun episode. The idea itself is pretty good. And I like how uncle Phil agreed to give it a shot. This adds more diversity to the show and opportunities for more humor situations. I totally loved how Will dressed up as Ashley's father to help her out. And it was a great scene with him hitting on the teacher.
