TV Shows Due For A Reunion Special/Show/Movie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Boy Meets World
The Nanny

Any others? I think about 10 years after the show went off the air is a good enough time gap before a show has a reunion. Anything earlier is too soon, and anything too much later the characters become too much older than they were on the show.

Definitely Cheers, it's been too long & it is about time.

yes, I agree. "CHEERS" SHOULD have one. Although if they do, it'll have to be without Kirstie Allie, since she doesn't believe in playing a character more than once; that's one reason she never guest-starred on "FRASIER".

(she also didn't because she doesn't believe in physiciatry since she's into scientology)

Wings

I think the 50s-70s shows should have reunions before any more of the actors croak.
examples--
Leave It To Beaver
Big Valley
Six Million Dollar Man/ Bionic Woman

I would Love to see another Waltons reunion and I like the idea of The Brady Bunch getting together every 5 years or so. I remember when the Brady Brides came out and some snarky reviewer said in the future we would get The Brady Bunch In The Old Folks Home. Let me just add--I would watch it

ThomasE · 05-31-2010, 01:12 AM

Family Matters
Step by Step
Full House
Sister Sister
Alice
One Day at a Time
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (would Will Smith go for it though?)
Julia
Amen
227 (Possibly but w/o Alaina Reed Hall, who's to say?)
Saved by the Bell
Head of the Class
Blossom
Silver Spoons

BARNEY MILLER!!! (At least a retrospective - ALL the guys at the 1-2 would be retired by now!

) Also, I'd like to see a Perfect Strangers reunion.

The Nanny had one on Lifetime already. Fox had a Married...with Children special. Happy Days have had so many already, as have Andy Griffith, Cosby Show, Facts of Life (a movie), and Growing Pains (two movies). Time for some different ones. How many times can The Brady Bunch have one?

These shows need reunions/specials:

Perfect Strangers, Who's the Boss? (even though they reunited on Danza's talk show), Boy Meets World, Step by Step, Full House, Cheers, and Family Matters. Dare I say it...Seinfeld and Friends are due for reunions in the next few years, but these series need to have reunions first.

As for older series, Three's Company (even without John, Knotts, and the Ropers), Benson, SOAP, and Leave it to Beaver. Having DeWitt and Somers reunite on screen would bring in HUGE ratings for the Three's Company reunion.

Well Pav, the cast of Cheers did reunite on "Fraiser" 2002. I will take that for the time being. At least it was nine years after the show ended.

I would love to see the Tanners from "ALF" get back together for a movie.
Little House on the Prarie could do it. They could center the movie reflecting on the memories of Pa. Mary would be back for sure. No leaving her out like they did on the 10th season series of movies.

Adamantium · 05-31-2010, 01:17 PM

I can't speak for the others, but my choices were not to have the reunion where the cast sits down and talks, but rather a scripted movie reunion. Though I wish these movie reunions for comedies would stick to the comedy and not make it a dramedy.

So the Married with Children reunion I mentioned would be what the Bundys are up to in the year 2010 (or whatever year the movie comes out).

Some of the LHOTP cast got together at one of the many fan functions they have out in the middle of nowhere, and Alison Arngrim basically said that everyone - even the older people, like the Olesons - would be on board and ready to do it. A good time period for a LHOTP reunion would be the 1910's or so, about 10-15 years after the season finale. All of the cast members are about the same age now as what their characters would have been then.

I wanted a Charlie's Angels reunion so much. I envisioned all six angels getting together to find out who killed Bosley, but it just wouldn't be the same without Farrah and John.

McGillicuddy · 05-31-2010, 10:12 PM

I always wanted Mama's Family to have a reunion. It could be called Mama's Family Reunion. But Betty White and Ken Berry are probably too old to play her children anymore, Maybe Carol could get away with portraying Eunice. Harvey Korman's gone and they killed off Rue McClanahan's Aunt Fran. So I guess at this point it wouldn't work. I'd settle for a retrospect though!

Update: Rue McClanahan passed away 2 days after I posted this
