Trivia / Bel-Air

• Approval of God: The show started as a faux trailer of a gritty reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but Will Smith liked it and wanted to see the show made.
• California Doubling: Averted; the West Philly scenes were filmed on location, whilst the rest of the show is set and shot in Los Angeles
• In Memoriam: In addition to thanking the cast of the original series, the closing credits of each episode pay tribute to the late James Avery, who played the original Uncle Phil.
• The Other Marty: The entire cast that appeared in the faux trailer was replaced by a new cast for the TV series.
