Of course Rescue, The Castaways, and the Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island, but I think they did a great job on Return to Mayberry, and Marry and Rhoda too.

Dont forget "Get Smart again" Probably the best reunion movie ever...it not only starred the whole orig cast ( except Ed Platt who was already deceased ) , but was also written by the original writers; and, it featured Ludwig Von Seigfried!!!< Maxwell Smart's arch enemy ( Although, they called him CONRAD Seigfried ??????:confused: ( oh well, in one ep of the orig show, they admit Ludwig is really his code name :crazy: , so, i guess that could work )
The Jeannie reunion movie wasnt too bad....although, Wayne Rodgers really was a very poor substitute for Larry Hagman

The wonderful Britcom "As time goes by " did a reunion special, they didnt call it a movie, but, as it was as long as 5 regular eps, you could certainly call it that ( It was like getting an extra season of the show, all at once :) )

"Get Smart Again," "Still the Beaver," "The Munsters' Revenge" "Return to
Mayberry" "The Addams Family Halloween" and "Rescue from
Gilligan's Island" were all good. The worst was probably the bomb "The Return
of the Beverly Hillbillies." There were actually two JEANNIE TV-movies: "I
Dream of Jeannie 15 Years Later" (1985) with Wayne Rogers; and "I Still Dream
of Jeannie" (1991) with Ken Kercheval. In the latter, the still-sexy Barbara Eden was 57. Both
films, though, were only so-so (in my opinion) -- although, according to TV
GUIDE -- the 1985 show "placed a close second to a World Series game in
ratings and was the 11th-highest-rated TV-movie of the year."

There were also TV-movie reunions for other sitcoms, incl. FATHER KNOWS
BEST, THE DUKES OF HAZZARD and THE MONKEES. MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY was remade as a short-lived, updated series titled (what else?) MAKE ROOM FOR GRANDDADDY, reuniting Danny Thomas, Marjorie Lord, and other members of the original cast. Those are the ones that I can think of that had a
storyline. There were, of course, also TV specials that reunited cast members (LAVERNE & SHIRLEY, HAPPY DAYS, THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW) ... and there were several
HONEYMOONERS specials. In an unusual move, ABC did a show that combined the casts of
MY THREE SONS and THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY. That's all I remember at the moment (as far as
sitcoms go). [Of course, other genres had reunion movies, too (dramas,
westerns, sci-fi shows)--but that's the subject for another whole thread!]

My favorites are:
The Munsters Revenge
Rescue From Gilligan's Island
The Brady Girls Get Married which was a pilot for The Brady Brides
A Very Brady Christmas
Return To Mayberry
The Addams Family
And the cheesy Return to the Batcave, if you consider it a reunion.

Oh, I had forgotten about the Batman reunion movie (and some people--including producer William Dozier--consider BATMAN a comedy series).

If you count Return to the Batcave, then you can count Surviving Giligan's Island as well which was pretty good imo.

Both were done by the same company too. And Dawn Wells was one of the producers :D
