Mary McCormack still thinks The Kids Are Alright can be revived -- she even enlisted half the Friends to help her

Los Angeles Times

McCormack, who played the matriarch of the canceled 1970s-set ABC family comedy, created a short video featuring celebrity friends and The Kids Are Alright fans Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Debra Messing, Chelsea Handler, Alison Janney and Mark Hamill (whom she's never met). “It feels too short,” says McCormack, speaking days before the show's creator, Tim Doyle, became showrunner of ABC's Schooled. “It’s hard to get something really funny and nuanced and moving, and I thought our show was all those things. There’s a lot of stuff I don’t understand about how shows find new homes, but you do hear about it. And I guess because you hear about it, your fans think there’s hope. There are just so many networks now — networks I’ve never heard of. So I’m still holding out a little hope that someone will look at us and see we’re like the already housebroken cute shelter pet that needs someone to adopt them.”
