Last week Dick Van Patten passed away, and yesterday his former cast members got together to remember him. Even though it has been 34 years since the show ended, the surviving cast look just as close as they did when they played a family back in the late ’70s.
They reunion included (from L to R) Willie Aames, Dianne Kay, Laurie Walters, Connie Newton, Adam Rich, Betty Buckley, Brian Patrick Clarke(?), Grant Goodeve and Joan Prather. Missing is Lani O’Grady, who passed away in 2001, and Susan Richardson, who has suffered with many health issues.
Even though they reunited for a sad occasion, it truly is great to see them all together again looking so happy and good.

OMG! It’s Blair and Jo from The Facts of Life together again!!! |

Blair and Jo might not have gotten along when they went to Eastland Academy, but in real life Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon are still good friends after nearly 35 years. Can you believe it has been that long since Jo Polniaczek joined The Facts of Life? I can’t because both actresses look phenomenal. I think they look even better now, then when they worked at Edna’s Edibles.
If any ’80s show deserves a reboot, I say it is The Facts of Life! Who’s with me? Maybe Blair, Jo, Natalie and Tootie can be teachers at their alma mater? Or they come back for their reunion and decide to go into business together? Who cares, I want just Edna’s girls together again!

A Three Stooges reunion! |

Did you read that headline and say to yourself how could Moe, Larry and Curly reunite if they are dead? Well they can’t, but the three actors who played them in the 2012 reboot can. That’s exactly what happened when Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamantopoulos got together for lunch yesterday. Hopefully they were talking about doing a sequel because the original movie was a real nyuck nyuck!

A Carol Burnett & Friends reunion!!! |

The surviving members of Carol Burnett & Friends were reunited today to tape something special for an upcoming release of a DVD for Time Life filled with The Lost Episodes from the beloved Variety Show.
Vicki Lawrence shared several photos of Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Lyle Waggoner (one of the richest people in Hollywood) and herself from the taping, but didn’t say what they were doing exactly and when the DVD would be released. By the looks of it several people were lucky enough to experience their reunion. I sincerely wish I was one of them, but, I guess, this is close enough.
Doesn’t seeing the quartet together again like that, just being a smile to your face?
If you miss Carol Burnett & Friends, you can watch it every night at 11p on MeTV!

A Taxi reunion! |

Last week at the opening of Tony Danza’s new Broadway show, Honeymoon in Vegas, some of his old friends came to support him. Those old friends are the surviving members of their show Taxi, actors Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Carol Kane and Rhea Perlman, director James Burrows and producer James L Brooks. Since Taxi is one of my all time favorite shows and I love watching repeats on MeTV, this reunion brought a huge smile to my face.
To see Tony, Louis, Elaine, Reverend Jim, Alex, Simka and Zena together again with huge smiles on their faces make me wish they would do a reunion show together. We can see where our favorite cabbies are now. Maybe Louis and Zena got married? Tony became a boxer and is living off endorsements. Alex runs the cab company and he’s married to art studio manager, Elaine. While Reverend Jim was performing a same-sex wedding, he met someone who offered him the perfect job. The ideas are limitless and I hope someone makes it a reality. Too bad Latka (Andy Kaufman), Bobby (Jeff Conaway) and Jeff (J. Alan Thomas) won’t be able to join in, but they will be there in spirit.
Seriously though, how awesome is it to see a full cast, get together, to support one of their own, 31 years after their show ended. There are aren’t too many shows that can say that.
