Retta is still mourning 'Good Girls.'
'I still haven't watched the last episode,' the actress and comedian, 55, exclusively told The Post about her NBC comedy drama series that was canceled after four seasons in 2021.
However, Retta said that she's thinking about watching the show from the beginning.

'I think I may restart it. I don't know if I'll get through the last episode,' she shared, 'but I still haven't watched it.'
Retta, who spoke to The Post about the new season of HGTV's 'Ugliest House in America' (premiering tonight), played struggling waitress Ruby Hill in 'Good Girls.'

Despite its popularity with viewers, 'Good Girls' was canceled in June 2021, one month before the Season 4 finale aired.

At the time, TV Line reported that Retta, Hendricks and Whitman agreed to pay cuts for a potential shortened fifth season, but the plans allegedly fell through because of negotiations with their co-star Manny Montana.
While on 'Live with Kelly and Ryan' in July 2022, Retta blamed an unnamed person for the show not coming back.

'We were very close to a fifth season, but one person ruined it for all of cast and crew and so it's not back,' she stated, adding that she was 'salty' about the situation.

Retta told The Post that she would do a 'Good Girls' reunion 'in a heartbeat.'
'I mean, we talk every other other day,' she said of her co-stars.

The 'Parks and Recreation' alum is focused now on hosting 'Ugliest House in America.' In Season 6, Retta tours three ugly homes in the Midwest as they duke it out for the chance at a $150,000 makeover by designer Alison Victoria.
'They are uglier than ever,' she told The Post about the new houses. 'This season there was a lot of themed homes, like even from the outside. They were able to find homes that were a very particular type that you will not find.'

'It's not like we looked at a lot of craftsman. We looked at lot of mid-century moderns. No, it was like, this one looks like The Flintstones,' she joked. 'It was pretty bananas.'
Retta witnessed wells inside many of the homes this season, too.

'I'm like, what? Why is there a well in the inside of the house?' she said. 'But sure enough, it just so happened that there were. And I can't say that I've ever known a home to have a well on the inside.'
Season 6 of 'Ugliest House in America' premieres Monday, June 2 at 9 p.m. ET.
