One of my all time favorite sitcoms is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Wickedly funny but they also did a great job of talking serious subjects and the show had a handful of excellent dramatic moments.

The FPoB episode where Will and Carlton get pulled over in some backwater for “driving while black” in Carl’s partner’s Mercedes and thrown in jail is one of the best “social commentary” episodes I think I’ve ever watched for any show, let alone a sitcom.

Carl’s righteous anger at the cops when he finds out and goes to the station to bail them out is powerful stuff.
