Reunion step is 1 step closer!!!! Almost complete! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 03-01-2002, 11:02 AM

A few days ago I reported that a deal for a reunion is almost done, and it seems that it is! I heard ABC was pursing the reunion, but now I have learned FOX will be airing it. Please continue e-mailing 3sco@dltentertainment.com and tell them you WANT a reunion! As soon as I hear more info, I'll pass it a long!
Check the article:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ision_fox_dc_2 . Now some questions need to be answered! Such as when the TV-Movie on NBC will air? Will Chris Mann's TV-Movie based on his book air on ABC or now on FOX in conjunction with the reunion? Only time will tell...

I have some questions.

Is the reunion already taped?

Is there any Three's Company TV-Movies taped that may be airing soon? Details please.

No the reunion has not been taped yet. It should be probably taped later this month.

NBC announced in January that they will be doing a TV-Movie on Three's Company. Like a behind-the-scenes look at the show. No idea when it will be made or aired.

ABC was planning to do the reunion, but now FOX is doing it. ABC is planning to do a TV-Movie based on Chris Mann's book, but that could air on FOX as well it seems.

I'll provide more information when I receive it, thanks for the great questions.

Hmm..I hope ABC does it. My impression from the article seems to be that FOX wants to do more of a 'clip/chat' type reunion thing. It would be great if ABC did the reunion, NBC the behind the scenes movie, and FOX doing the 'chat' reunion...though that probably wouldn't happen. I'm still hoping that ABC is trying to get the movie, right now it seems they're more interested in getting Dave Letterman off CBS and to ABC.

If FOX really does do it, then I hope they do a better apporach to what they did with specials on "Diff'rent Strokes" and other retro reunion type things they did. I wonder if the NBC movie is going to center around the Suzanne ordeal and ABC would do one about the entire run of the show..

Sorry for the Double Posts.

Most of the article was about "MASH"!
They mentioned this year being MASh's 30th anniversary but do they mention that this MONTH is Three's' 25th?

This was at TVGuide:

GREAT NEWS FOR JOYCE DEWITT: Fox is developing clip-laced nostalgia projects that would reunite the casts of M*A*S*H and Three's Company — despite the fact that neither show actually aired on the 15-year-old network. According to Variety, if a deal can be finalized, both specials could air as early as May sweeps.

I also noticed at the TV Listings part that they don't list "Man About the House" airing on the 15th.They list TC's first ep twice.

Well the special on Diff'rent Strokes was a behind the scenes type based on the 3 kids. This is going to re-unite the cast, so I think it will be much better. I hope ABC does a Reunion Movie too, but seems unlikely since FOX is doing this. NBC will do the tele-film and who knows who will do the Chris Mann tv-movie, probably FOX I'm guessing. We just to have wait and see on all 3 projects...

hi pavanbadal,
will the re-unite the cast thing on FOX reunite John, Joyce and Suzanne? or Priscilla too? etc?

Hi, they are planning on bringing everyone back, no specifcs werre released though, they hinted that they will get everyone who is alive. So Norman Fell and Audra Lindley of course won't be in it.

I know this is sorta getting off-topic, but I'm wondering... when did Norman and Audra pass away?

Audra Lindley in October 1997 and Norman Fell in December 1998. I remember both days, very sad.

It would be interesting to see Joyce and Suzanne reunited, since they supposedly didn't get along very well back during the filming of Three's Company.
