Family Matters, Sister, Sister and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are among the shows that are ripe for a reboot.

wasn't there talk of a different world reboot happening? i dunno. i'd rather see original - yet good, quality black sitcoms that are like the fresh prince of bel air, jeffersons, family matters with a laughter track or audience laughter to them.

They know how to deal against creative differences better than whites, perfect or not, but blacks do not deal too much on perfection, which is reasonable.

Many of these shows are too fresh to be re-booted,and besides,many of them weren't that great to begin with.Instead,how about reunion movies like they used to do,although like those movies,it will be hard to get everyone to star in it.

People don't want to see something again that's been done already. We want to see something that new.

Look at Dallas for example. Yeah, we all got the fuzzy nostalgic feeling when it first returned, but after the first season or so (and especially after Larry Hagman died), hardly no one discussed it and it was quickly cancelled.

why aren't they rebooting the My Brother and Me? which Nickelodeon ran the same 13 episodes for years after it was cancelled

Fresh Prince can't be rebooted because Uncle Phil died. it just wouldn't be right.

although they could do a Carlton-Hilary-Ashley spinoff.

The better question: why are so many '90s sitcoms getting rebooted?
