Default Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman cameos on Rerun Show

Gary Coleman in Facts of Life and Todd Bridges in Jeffersons:

A bevy of classic television stars and other celebrities - including Fred “Rerun Berry,” Danny Bonaduce and Gary Coleman -- will make cameo appearances on NBC’s “The Rerun Show” this summer beginning with the series premiere on Thursday, Aug. 1 (9:30-10 p.m. ET) as the alternative comedy series recreates classic television shows using original scripts while adding its own comedic, pop-culture spin to the performances.

After its premiere, “The Rerun Show” will then move to Tuesday nights for the month of August.

The following guest-stars have been confirmed for cameo appearances:

“The Facts of Life” - Gary Coleman (“Diff'rent Strokes”) appears as a shopping mall security guard in the “Shoplifting” episode.

“The Jeffersons” - Marla Gibbs (Florence on the original “The Jeffersons”) portrays sex therapist Dr. Beamish in the “A Bedtime Story” episode; Todd Bridges (“Diff’rent Strokes”) makes an appearance as Florence’s (Daniele Gaither) boyfriend in the “Florence in Love” episode. Aries Spears (“Mad TV”) is also featured in the episode in the role of Weezie Jefferson.

“Married…with Children” - David Faustino (Bud on the original “Married…with Children”) plays a gay man who accuses Peg of stealing his husband in the “Dance Show” episode. Erik Estrada (“CHiPs”) portrays a police officer in the “Weenie Tot Lovers and Other Strangers” episode.

“The Partridge Family” - Danny Bonaduce (Danny on the original “The Partridge Family,” “The Other Half”) recreates his role as Danny Partridge and Alex Michel (“The Bachelor”) appears as Keith’s (Brian Beacock) romantic rival in the “Keith and Lauriebelle” episode.

“Saved by the Bell” - Dustin Diamond and Dennis Haskins (Screech and Mr. Belding respectively on the original “Saved by the Bell”) will recreate their original characters with an out-of-this-world twist in the episode “Miss Bayside.”

“What’s Happening!” - Fred Berry (Rerun on the original “What's Happening!”) appears as a judge and Alfonso Ribeiro (“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”) portrays Dwayne in the episode “Rerun Gets Married.”

Airdates for “The Rerun Show” are as follows: Thursday, Aug. 1 (9:30-10 p.m. ET) after
“Will & Grace”; Tuesday, Aug. 6 (8:30-9 p.m. ET) after the “SPY TV” season finale;
Tuesday, Aug. 13, (8-9 p.m. ET) with two episodes back-to-back; and Tuesday, Aug. 20, (8-9 p.m. ET) with two more episodes back-to-back.

Television programs which will be “re-run ‘Rerun’-style” this summer include “Bewitched,” “Diff’rent Strokes,” “The Facts of Life,” “The Jeffersons,” “Married…with Children,” “One Day at a Time,” “The Partridge Family,” “Saved by the Bell” and “What’s Happening!”

Sorry for off topic but they filmed an episode of Mr Bean in my town before and I was there when they were doing it, I didn't see any cast but I saw the vans and cameras and things. Have they shown the new animated version in US yet?

I'd like to have seen the Rerun show just to see Todd and Gary in it.

That is so cool JS. It's too bad you didn't see the cast and get autographs. That would've been so cool. I don't think they are showing the animated version yet. I could be wrong though.

That show points out one thing though. Bean hardly said one word in most of the episodes, but it was still hilarious. That show didn't rely on sex jokes and such to get ratings.

I can't wait to see the Rerun show now too.

WHATCHOO TALKIN' ABOUT WILLIS, DANNY BONADUCE (NBC’S ‘THE OTHER HALF’) AND ‘THE BACHELOR’S’ ALEX MICHEL
GUEST STAR IN SERIES PREMIERE OF NBC’S ‘THE RERUN SHOW’

Summer Series Launched Thursday, August 1 (9:30-10 P.M. ET) After "Will & Grace"

"Diff'rent Strokes" and "The Partridge Family" Episodes Revisited

BURBANK, Calif. -- July 26, 2002 -- Danny Bonaduce (“The Partridge Family,” “The Other Half”) will reprise his famed childhood role as Danny Partridge in the season premiere of NBC’s new summer comedy series, “The Rerun Show,” Thursday, Aug. 1 (9:30-10 p.m. ET). America’s famous bachelor, Alex Michel (“The Bachelor”) also appears in this “rerun” of the “Keith and Lauriebelle” episode of “The Partridge Family.”

In addition, the premiere will also feature a rendition of “The Rivals” episode of the classic sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes.”

After its premiere, “The Rerun Show” will then move to Tuesday nights for the month of August.

“The Partridge Family” -- Set on impressing new transfer student Karen (Daniele Gaither), Keith Partridge (Brian Beacock) throws an impromptu shindig, only to discover that she is already spoken for by her boyfriend George (Michel). On the advice of younger brother Danny (Bonaduce), Keith attempts to plant the seeds of jealousy by inviting his own date - a.k.a. his sister, Laurie Partridge (Ashley Drane). The episode also stars Danielle Hoover as Shirley Partridge, Mitch Silpa as Tracy Partridge and Paul Vogt as Chris Partridge.

“Diff’erent Strokes” -- Excited by a female classmate who comes to call, Arnold (Candy Ford) struts his stuff on the advice of his suave older brother Willis (Don Reed), in the hopes of winning the affection of his new study partner Lurleen (Daniele Gaither). Unfortunately his “little” heart is crushed when he realizes her sites are set on the older Jackson brother. The episode, titled “The Rivals,” also stars Ashley Drane as Kimberly Drummond, Mitch Silpa as Phillip Drummond and Paul Vogt as Mrs. Garrett.

Perhaps best known for his role on the classic 70s series “The Partridge Family,” Bonaduce’s show business career began at the age of four when he appeared in his first commercial. His other television credits include guest starring roles in a variety of television series from “Eight is Enough” and “CHiPs” to “That 70s Show,” “Sabrina,” “The Teenage Witch” and “The Drew Carey Show.” Last year Bonaduce returned to television as one of four hosts of the syndicated talk show “The Other Half.”

Star of the reality series “The Bachelor,” Alex Michel graduated from Harvard, earning an MBA from Stanford, before signing on to find his bride while in the national spotlight.

“The Rerun Show” is from NBC Studios and Columbia TriStar Domestic Television. David Salzman (“MAD tv”) and John Davies (“Second City Presents”) are the executive producers.

A DIFFERENT STROKE FOR NBC'S NEW COMEDY

WHATCHOO TALKIN’ ABOUT, NBC?

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW COMEDY “THE RERUN SHOW” BECOMING THE HIGHEST-RATED 9:30 P.M. NBC THURSDAY TELECAST OF THE SUMMER


BURBANK, Calif. -- Aug. 2, 2002 -- How’s this for a different stroke? NBC’s new half-hour comedy, “The Rerun Show,” which literally re-runs classic comedies with an updated twist, debuted last night with a 4.6 rating and 13 share in the adults 18-49 demographic to become the highest-rated NBC summer telecast in the Thursday, 9:30 p.m. timeslot according to preliminary “fast nationals” in-home viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

Last night’s debut, which revisited episodes of “Diff’rent Strokes” and “The Partridge Family,” ranked first in men and women’s 18-34 demos as well as teens and kids. “The Rerun Show” also improved on “Will & Grace”’s lead-in for adults 18-49 by a 0.2 rating. The last time any 9:30 p.m. Thursday show built on its 9 p.m. lead-in was an original episode of “Just Shoot Me” on Dec. 7, 2000 (excluding all back-to-back episodes of “Will & Grace.”

Further, “The Rerun Show” is up 35 percent compared to “Just Shoot Me” summer-to-date repeats in the time period in adults 18-49 and 52 percent in men 25-54. For this summer’s previews and premieres, “The Rerun Show” had an impressive kickoff, ranking fourth behind “American Idol” Tuesday (4.8) and Wednesday (5.2), “Meet My Folks preview (5.5) and tied with “Dog Eat Dog” (4.6) while beating “Dog Eat Dog” in 18-49 projections.

On the night, NBC had its biggest ratings in seven weeks (3.9 adult 18-49 rating) and is only 0.1 behind CBS on the night.

Preliminary nightlong adult 18-49 averages for Thursday night are: CBS, 4.0/13; NBC, 3.9/12; ABC, 2.3/7; Fox, 2.0/7. Among overall total viewers, preliminary Aug. 1 results are: CBS, 10.8 million; NBC, 8.7 million; ABC, 6.5 million; Fox, 5.5 million.
