Name a TV show that least deserves a "reunion special"

[Deja Q]

You know, showing us how the characters are today, et al?

My choice is "Silver Spoons".

O.M.G.

The show is so shamelessly "trendy" with all the gaudy early-1980s styles and celebrity-hawking. (oooh, the Whitney Houston episode... :eyes: )

The little brat of the show does a lot of terrible things throughout its run (the "dine'n'ditch" gag being one of the more memorable ones). Does he ever get punished? Nope. Only a lame, cozy speech that wouldn't do anybody any good in real life. It's not even a stern talking-to.



OTOH, in real life, the brat would be in the gutter. But if the show itself was an obvious phony, the reunion special would be too.

Unless I'm being too harsh, of course...

1. I dunno, I don't think a

Diff'rent Strokes reunion would work too well either.

:hide:

[DS1]

2. Top of the Heap or Vinnie and Bobby

since it was the same show

[MissMillie]

3. Taxi!

that could be a lot of fun.

19. Have you seen Jeff Conaway on Celebrity Fit Club?

:scared:

[lizziegrace]

22. Yes!

He's gone completely over the edge. It's very scary. I can't stop watching though. It's like a train wreck.

[flamingyouth]

23. I guess he finally goes into rehab on the next episode.

That last one was just awful. :(

4. Pink Lady and Jeff...

or Cop Rock...



come to mind.

[bbernardini]

5. Futurama!

[JVS]

6. Maude

[underpants]

7. Ned and Stacy

Since it was Will and Grace but with a straight guy

[JVS]

9. Ned and Stacy was a better show because they were assholes to each other.

[underpants]

8. Knight Rider

[JVS]

11. Nooooooooooooooo

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. I will not abide by all the Joel Higgins-bashing in the Lounge today.

:P

12. Thirtysomething....

Ugh I hated that show...

I guess the reunion would be fiftysomething now!!!

[momophile]

13. Tour of Duty. However...

it could end up being really sad.

Maybe MASH so that it would be more fun.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. Romper Room

That would really suck, getting all those kids back together as adults.

[datasuspect]

15. the adventures of briscoe county jr.

parker lewis can't lose

"wings"

[texas1928]

16. Emergency!

That would be cool.

[flamingyouth]

18. I loved that show

:thumbsup:

[texas1928]

20. Great minds think alike.

I watched the first season on DVD this last weekend.

I can not wait for the other seasons to come out.

I think a reunion show would be great.

21. Julie London died a few years ago

But both main characters Roy and Gage are still alive and kicking.

I'd love to watch the DVD - I haven't seen that show in years. :)

[texas1928]

26. Only Bobby Troup and Julie London are gone.

They were married to each other. Julie suffered a stroke in 1995 and Bobby died in 1999, Julie followed him in October of 2000.

Dr. Brackett is still kicking and most of the firemen are. Even Captain Stanley is alive.

I think it would be AWESOME!!

24. they have had live, in-person reunions...

Trivia: Did you know the late Bobby Troup (aka Dr. Joe Early) wrote the song "Route 66"?

By the way, I've worked with Kevin Tighe and Randy Mantooth on occasion; they are the nicest guys. You can't imagine how happy I was to learn that my childhood heroes weren't "Hollywood Handfulls".

17. When Animals Attack

And they try to make up.

[flvegan]

25. American Gladiators, Family Ties, Cheers, M.A.S.H.

27. Small Wonder

Though I would like to know if robot-girl is still functioning and if she's been upgraded in any way.
