Will Smith stars as a teenager from inner city Philadelphia who's sent to California to live in with his wealthy relatives in the hopes that they will "straighten him out and teach him some good old-fashioned values," but Will soon takes his rightful place as The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. -slickdewmaster
Where was the Fresh Prince born and raised and where did he spend most of his days?
The HD versions are just upscaled. This was filmed on VHS tapes to save money, just like Home Improvement. There wasn't any thought to future proofing the show or to save it. They would record an episode, then re-record over it. There are no master copies to make HD copies from. It's kind of sad, really.

It's not a bad deal at all, because that's the entire series for $30. However, not only is it not 4K, but it's not even HD. It's an older show, yes, but I'm holding out until it's available in HD someday. (I hope, anyway.)
I'd consider putting "SD" in the title or first post, just so folks know. But it's definitely a nice deal.
Looks like Amazon does have HD versions available for the entire series..

Feels like this might be just an upscaled version. Last time I posted, someone on this forum said the cameras shot in 4:3 so we'll never see a widescreen version.

yes. Buy the original SD version. Any remaster is a loss of information.
All these various shows having good prices for the whole series EXCEPT ones I want. Perfect Strangers costs that much for 1 season. Back when golden girls was released on dvd, it cost $35 per season.

I used to pay about $30 per season for Simpsons, on average. I'd get excited when Amazon occasionally dropped on to $22.
One time I jumped on a $100 Everybody Loves Raymond box set for $50. Amazon Lightning Deal!
