But despite the struggles of finding people to work on “Sister, Sister,” Tia said that she and her twin will still move forward with the revival. According to TV Line, “Sister, Sister” was television’s response to the hit movie, “Parent Trap,” which starred Lindsay Lohan.

The show followed the lives of Tia and Tamera Campbell, who were adopted by two different families when they were still babies. They reunited as teenagers during a chance encounter at a shopping mall. After finding each other, Tia and Tamera moved in with their respective mom and dad and lived a happy life as a complete family.

ABC released the first episode of “Sister, Sister” in 1994, but the Mowry sisters’ sitcom only lasted for two seasons due to low ratings. WB picked up the show for another four seasons after ABC canceled it, and “Sister, Sister” officially ended in 1999.

Meanwhile, Tia also shared how memorable some of the storylines in the sitcom were. According to The Cooking Channel star, she and her twin sister never got to attend their prom because of their busy filming schedules. But they had experienced what it was like because Tia and Tamera attended prom in the show.

“A lot of people might not know this, but every year at the beginning of the season, me and my sister would sit down with the producers and tell them what’s going on with our lives in real life, and they would turn those into stories. As a teenager working on a television show, I wasn’t able to experience certain things that a lot of teenagers experienced,” she said.
