I think the world will go on just fine without yet another “Brady Bunch” reunion.
Agreed. They probably dropped out because they weren’t going to get good money from this gig.
I used to work on a talk show Florence Henderson hosted a couple of years ago. She had Barry Williams, Eve Plumb and Susan Olson on. One of them gave us the skinny that the reason why Maureen was never going to be on our show is because she had written a tell all and Florence didn’t come off looking so good in it, so there was bad blood. I guess there still is.
I miss family ties usahookups
That is fine by me, lets have a Growing Pains reunion with everyone including Chrissy and Luke. I loved that show – Carol was the cutest girl on tv and Dr. Seaver was hilarious, Mike’s antics got a little old, loved Ben’s middle name “Hubert Humphrey Horatio”, and Maggie was okay. Chrissy had the most adorable voice and Luke was just plain cool. AND it had the best theme song of any sitcom in the 80s.
Kind of bad timing for that.
are you an idiot? After what just happened?
Haha, good luck getting Luke. You’d be more likely to get Boner back on.
Jan refused to go because all the attention was on Marcia. Then, Marcia got her nose broken by a football and refused to be seen in public. Peter wouldn’t go unless they served pork chops and applesauce. Finally NBC got fed up and called the whole thing off when cousin Oliver showed up.
I heard that Greg couldn’t get out of his 7am shift at the local Piggly Wiggly.
Heh
omg laughing out loud!
Hee hee … good post, Al!
Marcia Marcia Marcia
LOL!!! LMAO!!! Thanks for a good
laugh:)
NBC should have offered them a silver platter to show up. ♫ We’re gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on dancin’ all through the night. ♫♫
Actually, they got axed by the powers that be when it was discovered they’d received coaching from Meerna (Myrna) Carter
I gotta say, I rarely find these posts funny, but I litterally laughed out loud on this one!
not to mention alice got stuck cleaning up all the mess from the volcano explosion.
Nobody cares, do a Charles in Charge reunion with both families.
How about a Growing Pains reunion? I hear some of those actors are looking for work.
that’s just low, man.
Actually, most are fairly successful – that cast is probably the LEAST dysfunctional of any sticom. Tracey Gold battled with anorexia but beat that long ago.
With a nod of deep respect and sympathy for Andrew Koenig and his family, I will enter into this GP fray to point out that most of the cast of that show are nutcases. Riddled with religious fanatacism, eating disorders, and a really unfortunate case of “love me because I write bad TV theme songs”-itis.
Family Ties would be good, too. Especially as long as Michael J. Fox stays healthy.
what about full house?
I think you missed the joke.
And don’t forget Tracy Gold drunk driving with her kids and husband in the car a few years ago, and having an accident. Or the fact that Boner’s decomposing body has only recently been discovered. It might take him awhile to get back in fighting form.
I would love to see an ALF reunion or Silver Spoons.
I’m holding out for a Herman’s Head reunion.
I loved that show!
Wow. I thought I was the only one who remembered that show. I actually taped some episodes on VHS.
I loved that show too. I am surprised anyone else remembers it. Cool!
What scheduling conflicts could the cast of the Brady Bunch possibly have? There’s something more to this than simple scheduling issues. C’mon EW, get the real scoop.
Meanwhile, how about a “Benson” reunion, a “Cheers” reunion or even a “Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman” reunion?
Yeah, they all sound cooler – especially with Steve Austin & Jaime Summers.
Pretty sure it was because Maureen McCormick blabbed in her book that she and Eve Plumb fooled around together while they were on the show. And because the dad gave Bobby aids.
this defines a slow news day at EW
and everywhere else… Oh , and what will they fill the 5-10 minutes this reunion was allotted on the Today Show?
Surely a new recipe for buckwheat blueberry pancakes will be demonstrated – I hope !!!
How about BJ and the bear while they are at it!
I once got a bj from a bear.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one!
That sounds dangerous.
bear = Bears are almost always gay or bisexual men, although increasingly transgender men (transmen) and those who shun labels for gender and sexuality are also included within bear communities.
I read on another site that there has been a long feud between Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb. “…the bottom line is that they didn’t want to be on the same show and the appearance was canceled because of it”. Ah, sisters…
I watched the Eight Is Enough reunion this morning and everybody wasn’t on it. So I don’t think they would scrap the whole reunion if a couple people couldn’t make it.
They had to cancel because nobody could locate Robert Reed.
Yes! A dead joke. Always kills.
Not funny
I thought it was funny.
I think Jan hates Marcia these days because she made Jan sound like a leasbian in her tell all book.
I heard it was cancelled because Johnny Bravo wanted to perform and NBC said no.
When it’s time to change, you have to rearrange. Who you are into what you’re gonna be!
sha la laa la laa la la lala
sha la lalala!
A Small Wonder reunion, with lots of questions about Soleil Moon Frye’s tits becoming ginormous & her work in porn…….
Punky Brewster has done porn?!? Where can I get some?
Soleil Moon Frye wasn’t on “Small Wonder.”
Yep, definitely mixing up your 80′s sitcoms. Soleil Moon Frye played the little girl who was boinking the perverted old guy, in exchange for day-glo head bands and “Judo chop!” lessons.
Do an I Love Lucy reunion. Oh wait they’re all dead. Hey snap! That’d be even cooler!!
The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer, Homeboys from Outer Space, Pink Lady and Jeff, Manimal, or WKRP In Cinci
