1. "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"

(1990-1996) A fan favorite, we all know and love Will Smith. The theme song basically explains the plot but street smart Will ends up moving in with his rich Aunt and Uncle in Bel-Air and has to adjust to their rules but ends up bringing mischief and fun into their lives. The show has multiple subplots and serious lessons learned about racial profiling, growing up without a father and more. Overall it's a great show and an amazing way to kick off the list!

Memorable one-liner: "I've never said this to a girl before, but baby, you all that and a bag of chips." -Will (Will often used pick up lines)
