Will's aunts have the same last name as his father?


I have recently been watching the Fresh Prince and just realized that Will's aunts have been referred to as the 'Smith' sisters but why is that the same last name as Will's father, Lou Smith? Will's last name on the show is obviously the same as it is in real life but how do his aunts have the same name as him???

It's something that can be brushed off as a continuity error, I suppose. A lot of long time series had them back then. But at least in this case it's possible to marry or be with someone that has the same last name. The recent episode of Black-ish was about this

Agreed, Emily. People overthink things.

RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

You get how IMDb works right? Quite frankly it's an obvious and quite ridiculous continuity error.
