Editing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (section)

== Crossovers and other appearances ==
During the fall 1991–1992 season, NBC gained two hit television shows to anchor their Monday night lineup (''[[Blossom (American TV series)|Blossom]]'' aired immediately after ''The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air''). To gain popularity between the two shows, Will Smith appeared in the ''Blossom'' episode "I'm with the Band" as himself under his rap [[stage name]], The Fresh Prince. That same season, Karyn Parsons appeared in the ''Blossom'' episode "Wake Up Little Suzy" as Hilary Banks. Parsons also appeared in the [[Patti LaBelle]] sitcom ''[[Out All Night (TV series)|Out All Night]]'' as Hilary.

James Avery had a short cameo as "the father from Fresh Prince" on ''[[Family Matters]]'', at the end of the episode "Scenes from a Mall". He appears during the credits in a blooper scene where he surprises [[Reginald VelJohnson]] on set.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Meshulam |first=Yael |date=2020-09-30 |title=Carl Loses When Uncle Phil Crashes "Family Matters" Set|url=https://www.thedad.com/uncle-phil-crashes-family-matters/|access-date=2023-03-23 |website=The Dad |language=en-US}}</ref>

''[[In the House (TV series)|In the House]]'' and ''Fresh Prince'' were both executive-produced by Winifred Hervey (who served as the latter series' showrunner for its second and third seasons), [[David Salzman]] and Quincy Jones. During the second season's first episode, Alfonso Ribeiro and Tatyana Ali appeared as their ''Fresh Prince'' characters (Carlton and Ashley Banks) in the crossover episode "Dog Catchers". Later that season, James Avery (Phillip Banks) appeared as a mediator in the episode "Love on a One-Way Street".

Following ''Fresh Prince''{{'}}s conclusion, Ribeiro joined the principal cast of ''In the House'' for its third season as Dr. Maxwell Stanton, who had personality traits similar to those of Carlton. In the season 4 episode "My Pest Friend's Wedding", Avery and Daphne Maxwell Reid (the second Vivian Banks) guest starred as Stanton's parents. Joseph Marcell, Geoffrey Butler on ''Fresh Prince'', appeared as an officiating minister in the same episode.
