Wow, they managed to get most of the cast involved. They're only missing Susan Richardson and Adam Rich. Hopefully they'll share some memories of Lani O'Grady during the interview.

It was great seeing the cast of eight is enough on the today show. They still look the same but just older looking. I wish they would put this show on DVD.

Everyone looks great - and Willie looks a LOT better since he cut his hair and shaved off the beard. Grant's barely aged at all (and he's about to become a GRANDFATHER!) - same goes for Dianne and Connie. Adam Rich had sent a letter, and Diana Hyland and Lani were mentioned in passing. The only one who wasn't mentioned at all was Susan.

I thought it was funny when Dick said they didn't want to use his real life sister(Joyce Van Patten)as his sister on the show because they didn't think she looked enough like his sister

I had to laugh at that, too. Hilarious!

I enjoyed watching the reunion and everyone looked good. The only thing that bothered me is that as soon as Meredith Viera got Lani's name out of her mouth she immediately changed the subject (saying she didn't want to dwell on it) and didn't give the cast a chance to say anything about Lani. That just didn't seem right to me.
