Why don't they play the theme song on fresh prince of belair anymore?

Answer 1

Truncated Theme Tune

A show's Theme Tune is the way it gets the attention, and hopefully is good enough to get people Earwormed and singing it to get others watching the show.Once a show has gone into syndication or jumped channels, though, the Theme Tune is one of the first casualties. It will get edited, shortened, or otherwise truncated so as to leave room for more commercials. Occasionally, if the show is on the air on its original channel more than a few years, they'll maim the theme tune for more commercial space while it's still in its original airing. Also, the lyrics of the theme song, where present, may be changed a little.The title sequence and opening credits, since they often appear simultaneously with the playing of the theme tune are often collateral damage. Shows dating from The Eighties and The Nineties are the first to display this trope; older shows' ThemeTunes [Gilligan's Island and I Love Lucy for example] tend to be so iconic that they don't usually go under the editing knife.Related to Credits Pushback as the end credits usually scroll in the background while the next show or ad for other stuff on the channel plays instead. It comes back full size just in time to hear the last note or two of the closing credits' song and see the studio's Vanity Plate.This is basically a greed-invoked version of the Second Verse Curse.

Answer 2

i was wondering that now because im watching it now and i googled it and saw your question and it reminded me that i dont know if you heard but a school was shut down because a kidsupposedly just got the lyrics wrong and said something like killing some people at my school instead of shooting some bball outside of my school. you can look it up to get more detail but im pretty sure thats why they dont. it sucks though because it was such a catchy tune! :(
