Overview
- Tim Allen confirmed that informal talks about reviving the 1990s sitcom have happened but are not progressing because of problems among his former on-screen sons.
- One former cast member is serving prison time after repeated legal issues that violated probation, which prevents him from taking part in any near-term reunion.
- Patricia Richardson has previously said she was not asked about a reunion and that she has no interest in returning to the series.
- Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith have moved away from acting or shown little appetite to rejoin a spotlighted TV revival, reducing the chance of an original-cast comeback.
- The death of original cast member Earl Hindman and the split careers and lives of the others mean producers would face major casting and storytelling choices before any revival could move forward.
