When asked about the possibility of a \"Living Single\" reboot, Fields said she would be ready, but only if it preserved the strong legacy of the series.

\"You don't want to just throw everything together, like, 'What would we be doing now? What are these characters doing?'\" Fields said. \"These characters are so beloved. We love how people love 'Living Single.'\"

Both \"Good Times\" and \"The Facts of Life\" have been featured in Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear's \"Live in Front of a Studio Audience\" specials for ABC.
