[Wiseman]

I mean we're talking a classic with Fresh Prince.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I mean. Shit, both are pretty funny(I sadly never finished Weeds) but I’m going with the Prince here because he’s so Fresh.

Had a feeling Fresh Prince would run away with it, so voted Weeds which I have soft spot for (at least the first 3-4 seasons). Lead actress is wonderful.
