Seriously? OMG! WTF?

On August 1st, it will be 40 years since Good Times ended its impactful run. While the show’s good times might have stopped way too soon, the friendship between Ja’net Dubois and Bern Nadette Stanis is still going strong.

With all of the revivals, this show is one of the ones they should really bring back. They touched on so many important issues and handled them all responsibly. They did such an amazing job, the sitcom never ages.

Just like Willona and Thelma. Can you believe they are both senior citizens? Neither one of them looks old enough to be collecting social security. The actresses look more like they should be social in the clubs with security protecting them from all of their admirers. Or as J.J. would say, they look “Dyn-o-mite”. Well, he would never say that about his little sister, but you know what I mean.

It has been 30 years since Kristy McNichol and Dinah Manoff started playing sisters and David Leisure was their annoying but kind of lovable neighbor on the NBC sitcom Empty Nest that was a spinoff from The Golden Girls. Last week, Barbara, Carol and Charlie Dietz reunited at the Hollywood Show and they look just as close as they did then.

Not only that, they all still look great. Maybe we can get a revival with them, Park Overall and Marsha Warfield. They could have Scotty becoming a doctor just like his late grandfather who winds up moving back in with his mom, his stepfather Charlie and her sister. I still miss Richard Mulligan, he was a comedic genius.

This weekend was The Hollywood Show and several members of the Happy Days cast reunited for the convention. There was Mrs. C, Ralph Malph, Potsie Weber, Chachi Arcola, Jenny Piccalo and Roger Phillips. Or as they go by today, Marion Ross, Donny Most, Anson Williams, Scott Baio, Cathy Silvers and show killer Ted McGinely.

Even though it has been 35 years since Happy Days ended, why can’t we get a revival? You can have it set at the turn of the century. They all look great, so why not! I am sure Henry Winkler would put on the leather jacket again to play The Fonz! I understand that not everyone can be in it, but maybe we can finally find out what happened to Chuck Cunningham.

Over the weekend, the (not so much) kids (anymore) from Boy Meets World got together at the Dallas Fan Expo. However, is it really reunion if Danielle Fishel, Ben Savage, Will Friedel and Rider Storm do not make it Instagram official? The four of them posed for this photo together showing off Topanga’s growing belly. The actress is pregnant with her first child.

Seeing them together like this makes me mad again at Disney Channel for cancelling Girl Meets World after only 3 seasons. It had more life in it.

Back in 1979, Kristoff St. John was one of The Bad News Bears on the TV series. Yesterday, his teammates got together to remember their friend that passed away on February 3rd.

Billy Jayne (formerly Jacoby), Corey Feldman and Meeno Peluce all showed up to say goodbye to a lifelong friend along with Jason Lively and Chef Kevin Roberts. Feldman described the moment as, “TOUGH DAY, BUT A BITTERSWEET REUNION: 2 DAY WE BURIED MY DEAR FRIEND @kristoffstjohn IT WAS A MOVING & EMOTIONAL CEREMONY.” Then he added, “R HEARTS STAND UNITED AS 1, IN MEMORY OF A GREAT MAN, & A GR8 FRIEND! HE WILL B GREATLY MISSED! WE LOVE U KRISTOFF!”

While their show lasted only 26 episodes, their friendship lasted for 40 years. Says a lot about the bond between child actors and Little League baseball players.
