The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was one of the the sitcom told the story of a young man who was sent to live with his rich uncle and aunt in Bel-Air following yet another brawl on the basketball court that spooked his mother. She wanted him to grow up and have a good life and felt that it wouldn't be possible for him to do that on the streets of Philadelphia.
After the tears and laughter of the Fresh Prince reunion, fans can't help but wonder what other sitcoms from yesteryear might reunite their casts in a similar way. And there are plenty that would be worth seeing.
How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014)
It hasn't been that long since How I Met Your Mother ended in 2014. Nonetheless, the cast has been up to many projects since, so it would be interesting to see them get together and recall their time on the show.
Most interestingly, fans would love to hear their opinions on the final season and, most importantly, the final episode, the reveal of the mother's identity, what happened to her, and how the ending polarized viewers.
Growing Pains (1985 - 1992)
Much like the Fresh Prince cast had to get together without their fictional patriarch since James Avery, who played Uncle Phil, ed away in 2013, the cast of Growing Pains would have to do the same. Alan Thicke sadly ed away in 2016 at the age of 69.
Nonetheless, it would be wonderful to see the rest of the cast get together to recall memories from their time on the show. Many of them are out of the spotlight these days, only appearing in small roles, with the exception of Ashley Johnson, who played young Chrissy and had a lead role on the NBC series Blindspot. What have they all been up to? Curious fans want to know! And let's not forget that Leonardo DiCaprio got his start on this show, which means a reunion would have to include the A-list actor, too!
Married With Children (1987 - 1997)
The cast of Married With Children got together in 2012 to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary. But nothing has been televised where fans see the A-list cast back together again in a re-creation of the old set. Katey Sagal has, of course, enjoyed tremendous success since the show ended, including a starring role on the FX series Sons of Anarchy.
Ed O'Neill starred in the ABC sitcom Modern Family and Christina Applegate currently stars in Netflix series Dead To Me. These three reunited, along with David Faustino, who played Bud Bundy, Amanda Bearse, who played neighbor Marcy, and David Garrison and Ted McGinley, who played Marcy's first and second husband respectively, would be a must-see event.
That '70s Show (1998 - 2006)
That '70s Show is one of the few sitcoms where every single member of the cast has gone on to enjoy very successful television and/or movie careers. Wouldn't it be nice to see them all in the same room again, or better yet, in their signature circle to talk about how things have changed since the early '00s?
From Laura Prepon's role on Orange is the New Black to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's marriage in real life, there's so much to talk about.
Family Ties (1982 - 1989)
It was all about Alex P. Keaton. This sitcom put Michael J. Fox on the map as a serious actor, snagging him plenty of roles in movies. Before he was Marty McFly in Back to the Future, he played a young Republican teen who wore a suit and a tie to school and often butt heads with his ex-hippie parents when it came to political views.
Most of the cast has been relatively quiet since the series ended, including Justine Bateman, sister to Jason Bateman, who played Alex's fashion-focused sister. So, fans would love to know what they have all been up to.
Blossom (1990 - 1995)
Both Mayim Bialik, who played the title character in Blossom, and Joey Lawrence, who played her dimwitted jock brother, have remained in the spotlight since this show ended. But what about everyone else?
The series about a single dad trying to raise his three children on his own focused on the fashionable female daughter Blossom and her best friend Six. It would be great to include some of the guest stars in a reunion, as well: in many dream sequences, Blossom would receive advice from celebrities, including everyone from Mr. T and Phylicia Rashad to Will Smith, David Spade, and even Alf. Can anyone say reboot?
Martin (1992 - 1997)
Martin Lawrence is still active in the business, most recently reprising his role for the sequel buddy cop movie Bad Boys For Life opposite Will Smith. Meanwhile, Tisha Campbell, who played his wife Gina on this sitcom about the married couple living and working in Detroit, also continues to act, most recently appearing in the ABC sitcom Dr. Ken and as Dr. Davis on The Bold and the Beautiful.
And Tichina Arnold, who played Gina's co-worker and best friend, currently can be found in the sitcom The Neighborhood. Getting the gang back together to discuss the cultural impact of the show would be wonderful.
Cheers (1982 - 1993)
From Woody Harrelson to Ted Danson, Shelley Long to Rhea Pearlman, Kirstie Alley to Kelsey Grammer, a reunion of the cast of Cheers is long overdue.
The long-running sitcom, often considered one of the best to have ever graced the small screen, was about a bar called Cheers that was frequented by locals, thanks, in large part, to the great bartenders. But mostly, they loved to patronize the bar because it was like a second home where "everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came."
Family Matters (1989 - 1997)
One of the first sitcoms to be centered around a Black family, one of the funniest Black male actors in sitcom television.
Jaleel White played the title character and the cast of characters have mostly been out of the spotlight since the series ended (White did recently have a role on the now-canceled Netflix series The Big Big Show.) Now, 30 years since the show was on the air and closing in on the 25th anniversary of when it ended, it's prime time for a reunion. They could also pay homage to the late Michelle Thomas, who played Urkel's girlfriend, who ed away from cancer a year after the show ended.
Just Shoot Me! (1997 - 2003)
It will soon be 25 years since this sitcom, created by Steven Levitan, the man behind other successful sitcoms like Modern Family, premiered on NBC. The talented cast includes David Spade, Wendie Malick, and George Segal.
The show was about a fictional fashion magazine called Blush (modeled after Vogue) and the staff who worked there. Despite being moved around in time slots, the show still managed to perform well in the ratings and remains one of the most underrated sitcoms of the late '90s and early '00s.
