Since it ended, the show has enjoyed newfound popularity thanks to reruns and streaming.

“Very rarely does this happen first time out the gate.
It speaks to how great and naturally built for this she is.
Shes currently onMythic Queston Apple+ with some other very talented people.
You should check it out.”
And while Rock is understandably associated with the comedy, Williams said credit should also go to co-creator LeRoi.
“Chris Rock receives a lot of credit for this show, as he should,” he continued.
He is the answer to why this show worked.
Hes a legend who deserves all of his flowers.”
The 27-year-old performer also addressed the common question for all classic sitcoms will there be a reboot?
“All work regularly, in a variety of different mediums, genres, networks ect.
Well keep trying but Im proud of our scheduling issue.”
The core cast has all been steadily working since the show ended.
Williams wrapped up his thread by disclosing what happens to Chris after the show ended.
“This starts the journey to comedy.
The finale was a shot for shot parody of theSopranosfinale which also aired that year,” Williams wrote.
