Kim Fields Shares Thoughts On ‘Facts Of Life’ & ‘Living Single’ Reboots: If You Don’t Get It Right, You Are Messing With People’s Beloved Characters

Actress and director Kim Fields is reasonably cautious when it comes to bringing back fan favorite sitcoms.

During a recent interview, Kim Fields, 53, shared her thoughts on the current popularity of TV show revivals. Kim Fields is best known for her roles as Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey on the ‘80s NBC sitcom “The Facts of Life,” and as Regine Hunter on the ‘90s Fox sitcom “Living Single.” While speaking on the possible reboot of the two shows, Kim Fields said:

“There’s always talk about doing reboots. That’s just a very popular trend right now.”

Fields continued:

“And while I respect it, and of course I have beloved shows that I want to see what they’d be doing right now. I think you have to be really careful with reboots because if you don’t get it right, you are messing with people’s beloved characters.”

She playfully added:

“And thankfully everybody’s busy — I got a new show I’m doing!”

Fields currently stars in the Netflix original series “The Upshaws.” The sitcom follows a working-class African American family in Indiana struggling to make it work. Fields stars alongside Wanda Sykes, 58, and Mike Epps, 51. Season 2 of “The Upshaws” premieres on June 29 on Netflix.

“The Facts Of Life” focused on a housemother/caretaker and a special group of four young women at an all-girls boarding school. The sitcom aired for nine seasons from 1979 to 1988, making it one of the longest-running sitcoms of the 1980s.

Sitcom “Living Single” followed six African American friends — four women and two men — who shared personal and professional experiences while living in a Brooklyn brownstone apartment. The sitcom ran for five seasons from 1993 to 1998.
