Most Wanted: Black TV Characters We All Agree Need A Comeback
As the new 'A Different World' reboot teases the return of a Huxtable, we thought of a few other Black characters who deserve a comeback too.

Who doesn’t love a good comeback?! No matter what field we’re talking, there’s nothing quite like seeing a good thing from the past make a return to form after much anticipation from the masses.
Those who recently finished streaming the new A Different World reboot on Netflix were left off with quite an interesting cliffhanger, as the season ended with a strong possibility that we may see the return of fan-favorite OG character, Denise Huxtable.

Played by ’80s TV crush Lisa Bonet, the role of Denise Huxtable is actually where A Different World gets its roots from as the original series was a spinoff for her character from The Cosby Show. After a rocky experience filming season 1, Bonet left the series in the hands of show regulars Dawnn Lewis, Darryl M. Bell, Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison. Seeing as all four made their return for the reboot in season one, we have our fingers crossed tight at even a glimpse of hope that we’ll see Denise once again stepping through the halls of Hillman in the near future.
The conversation got us thinking about many other Black main characters who we wouldn’t mind seeing on the small screen again. From those who kept us cracking up to the few who admittedly even pulled at our heartstrings, it was a pure joy each time they popped up during primetime. At a time when reboots and remakes are at the forefront of Hollywood, we can’t think of a reason to not bring some of them back from television limbo. A crossover episode on current shows, a limited TV special or even a quick one-off anniversary reunion would all suffice if we were handling the call sheet.

Olivia Pope, Scandal
From impeccable style to a high tolerance for wine, there’s just too much we love about the character that made Kerry Washington a household name.
