What Season 6 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Season 6 starts from a familiar situation: Will lives in his aunt and uncle's mansion in Bel-Air, but living together is still far from settled. His 24 episodes show a Will who takes on one job after another, gets into one mess after another, and makes improvised plans, almost always at Phil's expense. That clash between street life and the rules of a wealthy family drives much of the storylines. Carlton, with his academic ambitions, and Ashley, with her own desires, also complicate life at home. Hilary, running her own TV show, and the tension between Phil and Vivian round out a cast that tests everyone.
