Kate & Allie Reunion - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Emma and Jenny are now in their early 30's.

I see a lot of potential for a reunion.

Any thoughts,

I think that's a great idea! But, seeing as it wasn't THAT popular of a series in the 80s (meaning, not in the top 5) it probably wouldn't happen...but who knows? The 20th Anniversary of the debut will be in March 2004...

In 2004, Emma and Jenny will be just a few years younger than Kate & Allie were when the show originated.

The material seems ripe. Emma and Jenny as career girls, with maybe husbands, and maybe not. The script could go in a myriad of directions.

The possibilities are endless.

Ohh, i'd die for a reunion!

From the appearances and stuff, seems like they're all still in the business (except Susan St. James and maybe the girl who played Emma), so i'd bet they would do it if it was written and such.

It's funny, it may've not been a top rated show, but everyone I talk to about K & A say they remember watching it back when they were younger.

I agree wholeheartedly. I was a child of the 1980's and almost everyone of my peers watched the show, and remembers it now with a lot of affection.

As I said in a previous post, the material is there.

Look at the top sitcom right now, "Friends".

Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry were born the same year as Allison Smith and Ari Meyers. Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimer and Courtney Cox are just a couple years older.

A "Kate & Allie" reunion would be a ratings bonanza.

This makes me think of a clip from the "100th Episode" show of Kate & Allie - they're really old - here's the scene...

Allie: Just sit there...relax...stroke the cat...
Kate: The cat's been dead for 20 years!?!
Allie:...nitpicker...

That line was so hilarious!
