Shows that feel likeThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990–1996)

Will, a street-smart teenager, moves from the tough streets of West Philly to posh Bel-Air to live with his Uncle Philip, Aunt Vivian, his cousins — spoiled Hilary, preppy Carlton and young Ashley — and their sophisticated British butler, Geoffrey. Though Will’s antics and upbringing contrast greatly with the upper-class lifestyle of his extended relatives, he soon finds himself right at home as a loved part of the family.

If you loved The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the closest series we have are Saved by the Bell (1989), That '70s Show (1998) and The Nanny (1993). All three share The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is El Chapulín Colorado (1973).

For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend most of their time hanging out in Eric’s basement, life in the ‘70s isn’t always so groovy. But between trying to figure out the meaning of life, avoiding their parents, and dealing with out-of-control hormones, they’ve learned one thing for sure: they’ll always get by with a little help from their friends.
