There have probably been 10 dozen Fresh Prince supercuts, mash-ups and remixes, but this Jaaam re-mix is the reason the Internet was invented. It’s the precise reason that we should all be fighting against SOPA. If it passes, videos like this wouldn’t exist and my afternoon would not have taken a sudden turn for the better. It is the perfect blend of nostalgia, a nice beat, Arnold Schwarzennegar, and the Carlton dance. Bask in it, folks. Because if those a$$holes in Congress have their way, Internet Joy like this will be a lot harder to come by.

Last week, approximately five bottles of wine and 7500 cookies ago, we brought you a fun “Fresh Prince” reunion picture that featured the whole cast laughing and smiling. Well, almost all the whole cast. Conspicuously absent were either of the show’s Aunt Vivs, and when TMZ reached the original Aunt Viv, Janet Hubert, she gave a very simple and understandable reason she was not in the picture: because she hates Will Smith. Like, SO much:

15 years after the show went off the air … Janet Hubert tells TMZ she’s still upset with the way she was fired from the show … and blames the whole thing on Smith himself.

“There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith,” Hubert said.

She adds, “He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.” [TMZ]

When Smith was reached for comment, he said, “You know TV moms are the same. No matter time nor place, they don’t understand that us kids are going to make some mistakes.” He then went on to tell horror stories about Hubert offering to buy him some clothes, but getting him “ancient artifacts” instead of more stylish options, causing him to be mocked by his peers. And another time, allegedly, Smith borrowed her Porsche to go meet a girl, but when he ran into a little police trouble Hubert and her TV husband, James Avery, showed up and brutalized him. According to Smith, they shoved him into the car by his face, and took turns beating him and driving on the way home.

So, to you child actors all across the land, take it from Willl. Parents just don’t understand

…And I got my wish. The new “Game of Thrones” season two production diary (see below) doesn’t reveal much about what’s in store for next April — most of the time, the actors and producers talk about the weather in Belfast (though you do get to see the Kingslayer looking bloody and muddy — but when it’s coupled with the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” reunion photo above, things get REAL. Crossover episode, you say? Obviously Carlton would be the Imp, and I guess Ashley is Arya. (Just because I want to hear Arya sing “Make Up Your Mind.”)

My boy DJ Jazzy Jeff would make for a great Samwell to Will’s Jon, but alas, he’s nowhere to be found.

In a fortuitous twist of romantic fate, Warming Glow’s listmaker-in-chief Josh Kurp and I both got engaged within the same month this fall. No, NOT TO EACH OTHER, har har har. The coincidence got us to talking about TV’s finest marriage proposals, and we knew right away that it needed to be added to the official pantheon of Warming Glow lists.

However, instead of letting Josh do his usual thing and just make a list for you, I demanded to get in the way and talk about TV episodes I’d never seen. It’s one of my better gifts. What follows is Josh’s list and our accompanying Gchat (edited for clarity). Spoilers follow, if you’re five years or a decade behind on watching TV.
