Janet Hubert and Will Smith have reunited and had a sit-down TOGETHER conversation for a FPOBA 30th Anniversary special coming soon to HBOMax.

Nope, totally did not have that on my "What The Hell Is 2020 Going To Do Next?" Bingo card.

I never liked that show. Always preferred Moesha. Where's my Moesha reboot?

brandy and countess vaughn's beef runs about as deep as the Will Smith and Janet Hubert beef did, and Lamont Bentley and Yvette Wilson have passed... and Monique has been blackballed... so that one probably aint gonna happen

Stop hating! There is no Moesha without The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.

Hopefully Will and Ms. Hubert can keep the peace...life is too short. I remember seeing on the org (a few years ago) that there was going to be a "Moesha" spinoff. There were photos of Brandy, Sheryl Lee Ralph and William Allen Young on a studio set...not sure if anything was filmed, but it was supposed to be a bit more dramatic than "Moesha"............on a related note, looking foward to seeing the "Bel Air" film that Will is going to be involved in.

Blacks Lives do matter.

Countess Vaughn wasn't even in the final season and Yvette Wilson was barely in it so those two not being in a reboot wouldn't be so bad. Same with Bernie Mac. Although he would be missed. Lamont Bentley is the only one who's absence would really be felt but even that is an easy hurdle to get over. Just say that Hakeem died about a year before the reboot begins and have the show about Moesha trying to move on from the death of her husband and her daughter isn't happy with her dating other guys. Kind of like how the original show started out with Frank and Dee getting together to the disappointment of Moesha herself. But now she's the parent. Easy. Plus, what with everything going on in America at the moment, there's a lot of potential stories for them to tackle. Moesha never shied away from serious subject matter so just think of the possibilities. And, if nothing else, that last episode ended on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers so I need some form of resolution! I've waited 2 thirds of my life for it.

Just reading some of the comments on Youtube after a reunion of the surviving members the show lost it's way when Ray J became a part of it due to nepotism and when they decided to turn a good wholesome family show into something ratchet by making the tv dad a liar by witholding the past of his nephew who turned out to be his biological son which naturally caused some resentment from his tv wife. I've read where William Allen Young neither Sheryl Lee Ralph were happy about the direction they took the show in and she knew it was coming to and end when that happened. I wouldn't be interested in a reboot either and I just simply did not like the Parkers. I was never a fan of Monique and they made Countess Vaughn character too dense.

As for Janet Hubert Whitten it wasn't a good look for her to carry this feud on 30 years later.

Life is too short and it was nice to see Will man up and have a conversation with her.

A few years ago, the surviving cast members of "Good Times" (minus Janet) were doing a crowdfund to produce a reunion movie. The script was going to focus (individually) on where J.J., Thelma and Micheal were in the present day setting. I guess they didn't raise enough $...It would have been cool to see Tyler Perry or Harpo Productions get involved with the idea. New Line Cinema also had plans to do a "Good Times" movie (ala "The Brady Bunch") back in the late 90's, but that never materialized either.
