When asked about her initial thoughts when it was announed that the Proud Family would be making a return, Karen said, “I was just elated. Fans have been asking for us to come back. I mean we only had two seasons when we first premiered 21 years ago. It was just so exciting, I was so thrilled.”
Karen also shared with us which of her other roles she would love to see revived if given the chance. From 1992 to 1993, Karen starred on “A Different World,” and played Charmaine Brown, which was also her character on “The Cosby Show,” as well. Karen shared that she would love to see “A Different World,” make a comeback.
“I’m a Howard [Howard University] girl, we have the vice president, who is also a Bison,” she said. “There’s just been a really great resurgence in terms of really giving HBCUs their do. I think it would be a perfect time to have ‘A Different World,’ reboot.”
