The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Retrospective
Added 2020-10-07 01:50:31 +0000 UTCThis one came pretty quick, huh? Well, there's a fun story behind that.
Originally the Married With Children video was supposed to go online in April, but thanks to the copyright drama, it was put on hold while I was forced to wait out a copyright strike. While sweating that out, I had to ask myself some serious questions as to whether or not I would ever make another one of these videos, since they can be such a pain. Eventually I decided to just move forward and work on with the next video. The next series I chose was The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
I spent a couple of months working on this video, and to be honest, it feels like this one got slightly away from me at times. It only ran for six seasons, but as you'll see in this video, I went on about it for 1 hour and 33 minutes.
I'm still contemplating cutting a fairly large section at 28:15 about Carlton spending a few days in Compton. It just felt repetitive coming right after the part about Carlton being pulled over by the police. There's also about 20 minutes of deleted scenes I'm considering turning into a video. It's just a question of whether or not I make that exclusive to Patrons, largely because I don't like the idea of deleted scenes videos on my main channel. If I cut something, it's because I don't think it's worth including. Considering the work that goes into these though, it might make for a fun extra.
So here's a quick summary off the stuff I'm hoping for some feedback on:
Any bad audio, bad cuts, or other technical issues
Whether or not I should cut that section on Carlton in Compton at 28:15
If people are interested in a deleted scenes video
Also, please no one mistake this as the new normal schedule for my sitcom retrospectives. When Married With Children went up, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was already in the scripting phase. The next show I'm doing is still in the watching season 1 phase. It's unlikely it'll be coming out this year, but I do think people will be very excited for the next one.
Thank you all for your support!

Glad to hear that! I thought they went well together, but I'm always worried about videos running for too long, especially when they go over an hour. I'll probably put together a deleted scenes video at some point after this video comes out on my main channel. There's a whole section on gender and dating in the show I had to cut, mostly because the conclusion was a little too obvious (turns out there's a double standard for teenage girls!).

2020-10-09 01:34:14 +0000 UTCI think the section about carlton is short enough that leaving it in is fine. I certainly didn't notice it as feeling superficial or repetitive and as somebody who hasn't watched fresh prince, it was pretty interesting and funny I'd be interested in a deleted scenes video too, this was a fun ride
