What surname is shared by the show's creators Andy and Susan?

The surname shared by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air creators Andy and Susan is Borowitz.

Andy Borowitz and Susan Borowitz were married writers and producers who co-created the NBC sitcom. Andy was selected to write the pilot while under contract with NBC, and the pair received the series’ creator credit. Their work helped shape the show’s central premise: a street-smart teenager from West Philadelphia moving in with wealthy relatives in Bel-Air.

The Borowitzes also connected the series to the television comedy tradition of the 1980s and 1990s. Susan had worked on Family Ties, while Andy had written for several television programs before developing Fresh Prince. The series premiered in 1990 and became the program that launched Will Smith’s acting career.

The surname can be confused with the names of other important contributors, including producer Quincy Jones, writer-producer Benny Medina and executive producer Jeff Pollack. Those figures were influential in developing or producing the show, but Andy and Susan’s shared family name—and the answer to this question—is Borowitz.
