Season overview
The first season of the television comedy and family series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air introduces Will Smith as a street-smart teenager from West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his wealthy relatives at their mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Upon his arrival, Wills street-smart lifestyle immediately clashes with the habits and standards of his new household. His relatives in the mansion include his strict and gruff uncle Phillip Banks, and his no-nonsense, forthright, and career-minded aunt Vivian Banks. Other members of the Banks household consist of his preppy and arrogant cousin Carlton Banks, his attractive but dumb eldest cousin Hilary Banks, his youngest cousin Ashley Banks, and Geoffrey, who serves as the familys cynical English butler. Throughout the season, Wills presence and his contrasting lifestyle frequently cause trouble for both himself and the other members of the Banks family as they navigate living together under one roof.
