It has been 25, yes 25, years since Growing Pains ended, but TV brothers Jeremy Miller and Kirk Cameron are still friends after all of these years. So much so, they got together yesterday in Manhattan and ate some poutine for dinner. Something Mike Seaver introduced his little TV brother to when they filmed the reunion movie back in 2000.
When it comes to maybe doing a revival of the show, Miller did not say anything about them talking about one. Although, he did say they were talking about their late TV father Alan Thick, who passed away a year ago, and that they still missing him.
Now, let’s talk about them doing a revival. It so has Netflix or Disney Channel written all over it, so what are they waiting for? Would you watch it?
UPDATE: All of the Seaver children reunited on Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning. Did you know that Tracey Gold was not the original Carol Seaver in the pilot? But they brought her back, and the rest is TV history.
UPDATE 2: Kirk Cameron has been busy working on a documentary that helps parents to talk to their kids about social media. Connect is in 750 theaters tonight at 7p and parents with kids under 21 need to see it. Hire a babysitter and gets tickets to see Connect today. It is your only chance to see it in theaters.
Manhattan is a huge island, but not big enough to keep Jerry O’Connell and Jill Hennessy away from each other. The two Crossing Jordan stars bumped into each other in the West Village and you would never know it has been 10 years since their drama ended. That is because they look as close as ever. With all the revivals, why doesn’t NBC bring this show back. Would you watch it?
46 years ago, the World fell in love with the movie version of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Over the weekend, they did a live performance of it at the Hollywood Bowl and some of the original cast members reunited for the production.
No word if they used Charlie’s glass elevator to get to Hollywood, but I would not be surprised if that is exactly what Michael Bollner (Augustus), Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt), Peter Ostrum (Charlie) and Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee) did to get here. Either that or Weird Al Yankovic, who was playing all of the Oompa Loompas, finally rescued them from the Chocolate Factory and brought them to the show.
Either way, are you as happy as Charlie was when he find that golden ticket to see them all together again? I know I am! Too bad Gene Wilder is not alive to enjoy the love we still have for the movie that has made so many kids happy over the last 4 decades!
BTW can you believe that they are all between 58-60 years old? I still see them as those little kids meeting Willy Wonka for the first time and running into his Chocolate Factory. From Pure Imagination to pure joy!
Back in the ’80s, everyone was singing the Charles in Charge theme song. Heck even now you can do it, just from your memory because it was so gosh darn catchy. Well what about the cast of the beloved sitcom, can they do it?
This weekend Buddy Lembeck (Willie Aames), Gwendolyn Pierce (Jennifer Runyon) and, Jamie (Nicole Eggert) and Adam Powell (Alexander Polinsky) all got together for a mini-reunion at the Chiller Theater convention in NJ. On the way there, they all sang their theme song and the actors knew each and every word from memory just like you and me. Even though they had not seen each other in years (and for one not having worked with two of them), they still were all in sync as they sang the tune that is stuck in your head now. And hearing them do it makes you feel as happy as you do whenever you hear that song on television.
I have said this before and I will say it again, why doesn’t someone reboot this show. Maybe Adam is hired to babysit Gwendolyn and Buddy’s kids. Since the latter two got married and had kids! I would watch it, wouldn’t you?

Thirty years ago, people feel in love with Ritchie Valens all over again, thanks to the brilliant job that Lou Diamond Phillips did in the bio pic. People fell in love with La Bamba and 3 decades later they are still watching the story about a singer whose life was sadly cut short at the height of his career due to a plane crash.
Over the weekend, Phillips was reunited with his movie brother Esai Morales and movie lover Danielle von Zerneck at The Hollywood Show. Seeing them all together like that makes you want to watch the film all over again. You also wish they could do a sequel, but as we know that is impossible.
When it comes to actors, they all look as good as they did in the 1987 film.
Finally, I have had Oh Donna stuck in my head ever since I saw this photo.
