​Ordinarily, a reunion show is not something I would have any interest in. I prefer looking forward to looking back. But, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of the few shows that isn’t science-fiction or fantasy, that I have any nostalgia for. Plus I was bored, so I decided to make an exception for this reunion and I’m glad that I did.

​Even if you’ve never read the book, you’re probably familiar with the basic premise of the story: In a near-future version of the United States, a totalitarian regime has banned books. A fireman (a whose job it is to burn books instead of put out fires) named Montag decides that he doesn’t like burning books and joins a resistance movement that is dedicated to the preservation of knowledge. The book by Bradbury is widely considered to be a classic. HBO’s adaptation of Fahrenheit 451  will never be thought of in that way, but it does contain one overridingly important feature: it’s set in a future version of Cleveland that has a really awesome skyline.
