By rights, Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) should be dancing for joy: He has finally been accepted at Princeton University. Instead, Carleton is hiding out at the local bowling alley, terrified at making a commitment and asking himself if he really wants to go to Princeton, or if he's just going through the motions to please his father. Can it be that our hero is about to throw away everything he's worked for in favor of becoming a professional pin-buster? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

George (Jason Alexander) is willing to get over the death of his fiancée, Susan, but her parents have other ideas as Seinfeld begins its eighth season. Also, Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) renews his acquaintance with the "woman whose name rhymes with a body part." Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is left in charge of the office when Peterman (John O'Hurley) goes to Burma. And Kramer (Michael Richards) becomes a truly "towering" figure when he learns karate. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Television sitcom star Tim Allen made his big screen debut with this light, family-friendly holiday comedy. Allen stars as Scott Calvin, the divorced dad of Charlie (Eric Lloyd). Scott is distressed to learn that his ex-wife Laura (Wendy Crewson) and Charlie's psychiatrist stepfather Neal (Judge Reinhold) have informed his son that there is no Santa Claus. While a sullen Charlie visits his dad on Christmas Eve, a noise on the roof brings them outside, where Scott startles the intruder, who tumbles from the roof. It turns out that there is a Santa after all, and Scott has just accidentally killed him. Because of a legal technicality known as "the Santa clause," Scott inherits the jolly old elf's job. As the next year passes, Scott rapidly gains weight, grows a white beard and meets the elf Bernard (David Krumholtz) -- who is the one who really runs the North Pole -- while Charlie regains his Christmas spirit. However, Neal becomes concerned about Scott's sudden change in appearance and insistence that he's Santa, and he forces him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Director John Pasquin previously directed Allen in the TV series Home Improvement and would team with him again for Jungle 2 Jungle (1997). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Will (Will Smith) may not graduate from prep school because he's failing music--not for lack of talent, but for skipping too many classes. Sternly, Will's music teacher (Rosalind Cash) gives him one last chance for a passing grade...which explains why Will shows up at the ceremony in a daisy costume, accompanied by a chorus of eight-year-olds. All this, plus the valedictory speech to end all valedictory speeches, courtesy of Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro). Series regular Janet Hubert-Whitten (Vivian) does not appear in this, the final episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's third season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
