Danica McKellar loves math. Therefore, she did some math about the show she starred on from 1988-1993. Even though Wonder Years aired in the ’80s, it was based in the ’60s. Actually it took place from 1968-1972. That is 20 years before the year the show debuted.
Back then, the ’60s seemed like a lifetime ago. Right? Let’s put it in perspective. If they did the show in 2020, then that would mean it would start out in the year 2000. Y2K does not feel like a lifetime ago for us. Does it?
It makes you feel old, right? It did the same for the actress because she wrote, “I’m trying very hard not to have this make me feel ‘old’ but rather have it astonish me with how lengths of time feel so drastically shorter as we get older.” I see where she is going with that thought, but it made me feel old more than made it me feel astonished. What about you?
At the start of ’80s, Mindy Cohn was on one of our favorite shows The Facts of Life. A year before it ended its run, Fox debuted Married…with Children with Amanda Bearse. She would wind up filling the void that we needed when Natalie went on her own way.
Even though, both of their shows filmed at the same lot for a season, we never saw the two actresses together. That is until now because Cohn shared a sweet hugging photo with her friend. Now we get to see what happens when the facts of life meet married…with children. Or if Natalie cheated on her friendship with Tutti and Marcy did the same to Peggy.
While we will not see them on a television show together…at least not for the near future, there is a place you can see them act together. The women are starring in The Wendy Chronicles this Sunday at the Jewish Women’s Theatre in Santa Monica. Go see them live, it is better than television.
Back in the ’80s, Limahl was singing Too Shy with Kajagoogoo. While Samantha Fox was belting out the opposite with Touch Me (I Want Your Body) and Naughty Girls (Need Love Too).
The two singers were never seen together, but that Never Ending Story ends now. The two were photographed in Brno, Czech Republic and I cannot help to think of the beautiful music they can make as a duet. They can call themselves naughty and nice.
Back in the late ’80s, young girls were addicted to watching My Two Dads. We were jealous that Nicole Bradford had not one but two really totally rad fathers. Ever wonder if the dads would still get along today now that she has most likely moved out of their really cool apartment?
The answer is yes! Over the weekend, Greg Evigan went to see Paul Reiser in a play and we got to see Joey Harris and Michael Taylor together again! Looking even better now than they did then.
There has to be a way they can do a revival of this show. Maybe she moves back in with them after all three of them just got divorced? As Reiser suggested, they can call it “My 2 OLD Dads.”
Today is Barbara Eden’s 88th birthday. However, she celebrated it earlier this week with some friends at The Hollywood Museum. You might recognize some of them because, like her, they have been on our TVs all of our lives.
Do you recognize Leonard Maltin (movie critic), Elliott Gould (E/R), Roslyn Kind (Singer), Donny Most (Happy Days), Erin Murphy (Bewitched), Judy Tenuta (comedian), Peter Marshall (Hollywood Squares), Loni Anderson (WKRP in Cincinnati), Ilene Graff (Mr. Belveder), Anson Williams (Happy Days) and Dawn Wells (Gilligan’s Island)?
We normally might have to change the channels to see them all, but for once we get to see them all in one dream photo? I feel like I rubbed Jeannie’s bottle and a wish I never knew I wanted came true. While we got our wish, I hope that Eden got the one she made when she blew out her candles.
Happy Birthday Barbara Eden, may you get everything you want and more!
