Very cool!!

Pavan · 02-25-2010, 04:34 PM

I'm sure they will mention the following:

- The recent passing of Alaina Reed Hall
- Upcoming 25th anniversary
- Stardom of Regina King

catlover79 · 02-25-2010, 04:36 PM

^ Yes, and maybe why the rest of the seasons have yet to be released. I also want to say how awesome it is that Regina King will be appearing with the rest of the cast - it's nice to see a star who hasn't neglected her sitcom roots.

Pavan · 02-25-2010, 04:57 PM

No chance of mentions of the DVDs. Maybe a mention that Season 1 is on DVD, but that is it.

Bummer. I hope they also give a shout out to Helen Martin. Pearl ruled!!

It's definitely great to hear that Regina will be joining the reunion and that she's not ashamed to talk about her 80s sitcom past!

Pavan · 03-03-2010, 01:10 PM

They switched it to this morning! See the video: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/20...ch-stunts.html

I missed it - but I will watch the clip when I get the chance. Thanks, Pav!!

Great Reunion! I recorded it & I loved it!! Like the cast of Eight Is Enough, everyone came off genuine!!! Unlike The Partridge Family reunion where you could tell David Cassidy was so full of himself & the cast seemed uncomfortable sitting next to him!

Getting back to the 227 reunion. I know Regina started to tear up, but did Marla start to also tear up when Al Roker brought up The Jeffersons? Did anyone else catch this when she started wiping both her eyes??
Perhaps it was because Isabel Sanford & most of the cast members from that show have all passed on now.

I know Marla does the autograph shows from time to time & I really hope that she does one with Sherman Hemsley in the near future! It would be so cool to meet them & take a photo with both of them!!

I really enjoyed this reunion. The 227 Cast seemed to genuinely enjoy being back together. It was great that every time someone mentioned what a star Regina is now she would acknowledge that being on 227 was the foundation that allowed her to get where she is now. I enjoyed the tribute they payed to the late Alaina Reed Hall. And I thought it was really neat that Curtis Baldwin (Calvin) took this opportunity to publicly thank Marla for all the help she gave him in his career. And I loved the touching yet hilarious tribute to the late Helen Martin (Pearl) near the end.

Pitooey · 03-03-2010, 07:27 PM

I loved the reunion today. I was so happy to see Curtis (Calvin) because I found him so funny on the show. I hadn't seen him at all after 227 left the air.

Jack77 · 03-03-2010, 07:28 PM

I agree with everything you said Marvo!!! You could really feel the love in this reunion unlike the others! Somehow this TV Family Reunion was special!!

catlover79 · 03-03-2010, 10:14 PM

Loved it!

It was wonderful seeing this reunion, I liked how the cast talked about how they got their roles and the background of the show.
