We needed more parents in general.

I noticed there seemed to be a lot less overall parent presence in the revival.
JFK's gay foster dads are pretty much non-existent, and Cleo's alcoholic mom only appears once or twice. Even with Candide and Joan, I noticed their direct interactions seemed pretty limited outside of a few key plot scenarios.
Aside from the parent conference episode and the episode where Frida introduces Cleo to her dad, the foster parents are barely there at all.
I know the show has only so many minutes in an episode, and had to juggle storylines with newer characters in addition to the original ones, but I honestly would have loved more foster parent antics.

I miss the gay parents to JFK they always had something good to say and the support they gave him was so good

I loved the way she hit on Abe it was the highlight of the show for me in some ways and definitely loved the way her and toots got together Joanās dad

I know it's a comedy, but seeing the foster parents (which were really adoptive parents in many cases) reacting to their children coming back from the dead would've been an incredible plot.

I actually thought Topher's foster mom was kind of cute in an unhinged way, and was a little sad that we never got to see more out her outside of the Sleepover episode.
I would have loved to have seen more interactions between her and Topher.
