    I don't blame Jennette McCurdy one bit for not wanting to return to television. She'd been through enough as it is, and I'm glad the reboot respected her decision.
  • I don’t blame Jennette McCurdy for not coming back as it would have been like opening an old wound. While Miranda, Nathan, and Jerry would have been there for her, she experienced too much back then. Also if I may say, I think she’s one of the most tragic Nickelodeon stars. If you really think about it there was no safe haven for her. Being on set was a nightmare and after reading her book being home wasn’t any better

    Back when Frasier first came out, I was too young to appreciate it. Decades pass and my grandma was dying. What she found comfort in was Cheers and Frasier, which she would watch regularly with me. Both shows were great and have precious memories attached. I wish she could have been around for the revival.
  • @colindemar8322
    I respect Jennette McCurdy's decision not to return to acting. What she went through made me cringe. However, it makes me happy to hear that she stays in touch with Miranda Cosgrove.
  • @trinaq
    At least they were able to get around Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker's feud by not having them be in the same room when Cattrall filmed her cameo.
  • @COMPFUNK2
    Chevy Chase didn’t refuse to come back; he was fired and was thus not allowed to come back.
  • I don't blame Jennette McCurdy. She never wanted to be an actress, so I respect her opinions.
  • @terrilandry1191
    David Hyde Pierce was brilliant on Frasier. I'm still hoping for an occasional cameo on the reboot.
  • @BillGraper
    As a fan of Mary-Kate & Ashley for almost their entire lives, and the owner of one of their biggest fan pages back in the day, I would've loved to see them in "Fuller House." However, I respect their decision not to do it. They were forced into acting at a young age, and to this day they can't even step outside or go on vacation in another country without the paparazzi following them around. They are doing great in fashion, and that's their passion. We should be happy for them. 🙂
  • I understand Jennette's decision and that she never wanted to be an actress; but I thought the only thing she liked was hanging with Miranda, Nathan, & Jerry and would come back only for them
  • @OscarMPG1
    I'd like to think that Jenette McCurdy made more money on her book than what Nickelodeon was willing to pay for the hush money of 300,000 dollars to keep quiet. Can anyone confirm this ?
  • @brokenbridge6316
    Although I was a little sorry that Jennette McCurdy wasn't on the !Carly reboot. I respect the reason why she didn't do it. And I wish her well in everything she does in life going forward.
  • @karlsmith2570
    I can definitely understand why Jeannette passed on returning to the role on Sam on the iCarly reboot, given her past experiences and her not wanting to be reminded of those experiences. It'd probably be the same if there was a reboot of Sam & Kat
  • @noahfirstark
    Jane Leeves strangely didn't come back to Frasier's reboot either, considering how much she loved being part of the show
  • @alyzu4755
    Every time I see Chad Michael Murray all I can think of is Will Ferrell as Chad Michael Michael in "Blades of Glory". 😂
  • @nightslayer6951
    After everything Jennette's been through, no one can blame her for refusing to return to iCarly
  • @stingrey1571
    You forgot “that 90s show”. I heard Danny masterson didn’t appear due to a “scheduling conflict” of some kind.
  • @mattrix4200
    As a huge Twin Peaks fan, I was quite disappointed Michael Ontkean didn't come back. Yes his ''brother'' did a fairly good job of playing the ''straight cop'' (who didn't go through any of the previous events of the Twin Peaks cannon and therefore appropriately acted distant from the previous story we're accustomed to while showing that same ''small town warmth'' towards Twin Peaks current citizens)... Sheriff Harry S.Truman, you were missed and I wish you the very best in retirement - thank you for the memories.

    Tori Spelling was in a few episodes of the 2008 iteration of 90210.
