My original plan was to just bug the hell out of ABC to get a reunion aired...but a guy who checked out my HOTC site e-mailed me and thought that my intention was to hold the reunion myself (I responded back mentioning my plans), and told me that he loves HOTC (esp. Tannis Vallely) and conducts live events that he films and tapes. Imagine that! He said he'd be willing to help out in any way he can.
IRL, I know it takes a lot to plan for things like that (fundraising, finding a location, scheduling, tracking people down, etc.), but after his e-mail, I am just crazy enough to try something like that. But since I have no real contact with any cast members like I used to anymore, I'd haven't the foggiest as to how I'd begin. And also, if I did even try to host the reunion (I have some journalism experience from HS and college, so I know how to question and answer with people), they wouldn't take me, a 23 year old, seriously. Wishful thinking...
I wondered about contacting VH1. They did that show "Bands Reunited" (and I'm sure they can do something like "Shows Reunited," since they seem to be so into pop culture).
The point of this was to come up with ideas for questions in case someone did try to do an HOTC reunion, to find out what everyone's been up to, how they liked working on the show, etc.
Post away...
ETA: I found contact info (actual phone numbers!) for VH1 and TV Land/NaN:

The VH1 one is from 2001, but I'm sure that they either don't change their numbers or have a recording to update it if they do.

Ooh! I feel more positive now! I can either call and speak to real people, or send a nicely typed proposal/petition in the mail. People are more apt to respond to that as opposed to e-mail.
