Peete remains close to Curry and says the two of them have frequently talked about gettingCooperback on the court.

I dont know if other cast members would do it, she says.

Unfortunately, we lost Nell Carter.

I have no idea whether Raven [Symone] would ever consider it.

Theres a sense of 90s nostalgia that theres this insatiable appetite for.

Everywhere I go, I still get that, now more than ever.

Honestly, you cant ask for a better ending.

Its such a classic, like, John Hughes ending.

If we did a reboot, how are you going to beat that ending?

You cant mess with that.

You cant go back and do that better.

So you just want to leave it like it is.

But those are some of the best years of my life.

Im very respectful of that time period … everything has a shelf life.

I think society has developed far enough that that can be done as a family comedy.

There are millions of people in my age range who feel that way and it would be scriptable.

It would be fun to see something like that.

Every time we see each other, we say, Lets do a show again!

Because we had so much fun.

Shes my second wife, you know?

We would work together in a heartbeat.

If we rebootedStep by Step, Frank has to be in his late sixties.

I wouldnt want to do a reboot where Frank thinks hes still 45 years old and a stud muffin.

Its so much fun to say, Who is this person 25 years later?

What has he gone through?

Would Cody be a potbellied whatever?

Or would he be like Sasha [Mitchell] now, who is a totally in-shape guy?

Its fun to consider all that.

Christine Lakin is actually pregnant now.

[Her character Al] who had the pet pig is now going to have a baby!

Thats brilliant right there.

And then Frank would just wonder, Whos the guy who touched my daughter?

you could just go anywhere with it.

I said, Ted, they went extinct!

I didnt do it.

If youre going to cancel the show, Im going to cancel the dinosaurs.

He laughed, and we put together certainly one of the more memorable finales on television.

Hey, ifJurassic Parkcan do it …
