Yes. I would have to just to see one of Mrs. Garrett's girls taking the reins.

The last episode was supposed to be a setup of this with Lisa Whelchel (Blair) as headmistress, but was never picked up.

Honestly, I'd definitely watch such a reboot with Blair and Natalie as a "den mother". They're my top choices. Tootie, I wouldn't mind her. Jo... nah.

"Jo" Polniaczek all the way. Riding a motorcycle in every room at the school; popping wheelies and crashing thru doors. Smashing students' cell phones all day long.

I don't think Nancy M is up for it, but that's the kind of reboot that I would like to see.

Blair was too young to be a Headmistress than. The way she got it through her money didn't connect with viewers. Now that she is close to 60, it may connect.
