Consider this probably the best thing you'll see all week, OK, maybe not all week, but it's always entertaining to see Will Smith take the time to acknowledge his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air beginnings -- because who didn't love that show? On the promotion junket for his upcoming threequel to the Men In Black franchise, Smith found himself on UK's The Graham Norton Show leading a sing-a-long to the show's legendary theme song. With Take That's Gary Barlow on backing synthesizer, the Fresh Prince -- as well as the audience who didn't miss a word -- was in effect. Even Smith himself is surprised at how many people can recite the theme song verbatim, but it just further proves the point that shows like Fresh Prince with memorable theme music is something that the game has been missing ---and that kind of universal appeal needs to be on the comeback. Also to play the freakiest game of six degrees of separation ever, Sir Tom Jones, who guest-starred on Fresh Prince many moons ago, also just happened to be sitting there watching everything going down. How an opportunity for someone, anyone to do the infamous Carlton Dance to Jones' "It's Not Unusual" got away from those involved is just beyond me, but this is a golden television moment nonetheless.
