Tight Like Glue: Kim Fields and the Living Single Reboot She Already Has

“Everybody’s been asking about that for at least 25 years,” Kim Fields said on Live with Kelly and Mark, referring to the long-running calls for a Living Single reboot. It is a familiar question, and one she has clearly learned how to answer with understanding and care.

Kim explained that “honestly, the text thread that we have, the six of us and the creator of the show, Yvette, that’s really the reboot.” In a detail that should resonate with fans, Kim shared that she named the thread “Tight Like Glue”, a nod to the show’s theme song and, tellingly, to bonds that have endured long after the cameras stopped rolling for Living Single.

Kim’s comments did not deliver the finality of a door being slammed shut. Instead, they reflected something personal: the women already have what many reboots try to manufacture: continuity, connection, and shared memory. The reminiscing is real, ongoing, and intentionally private for now.

At this stage, Kim’s position is straightforward and authentic: “if it happens, it happens. Don’t push it. Don’t force it.” The subtext is clear. A Living Single reboot, if one ever comes, will only arrive organically. Until then, the relationships themselves are enough.

For fans eager to stay connected to that world, there is something tangible and available. Kim’s co-stars Kim Coles and Erika Alexander co-host ReLiving Single: The Official Unofficial Living Single Podcast. The show revisits episodes one by one, offering behind-the-scenes stories, reflections, and updates from cast members and guest stars. The podcast is not a reboot, but it is a continuation of voice, perspective, and shared history.

Kim reframed the on-going requests for a reboot, what Kelly described as a “clamoring”. Living Single is not frozen in time, nor is it being revived for nostalgia’s sake. It is living on through memory, conversation, and imagination; tight like glue, just as it always was!
