No idea if Scott was invited, but if you watch his reality show, you get the sense that he’s not really into that sort of thing. On the other hand, how cool is it that Ron Howard still cares about the show?

You’d think a “Brady” reunion would be a no brainer, but I’m sure it’s harder than you’d think to get everyone together. Maybe they’ll be another round if these do well in the ratings.

I’ve been tossing around a reunion show post in my head, so I may get into this a little more soon.

Okay, this may post twice, and my apologies beforehand if it does (did not ask me the “captcha” phrase with the last one).

Anyhow – I did not see the Weekend Today show, but, all this week, on the Today Show, they are having cast reunions from the old television shows. Today the cast from Happy Days was on. The only one missing was Scott Baio. No “Brady Bunch” reunion though

Bob, I was annoyed at myself for keeping it to the 70s because of that one example, so thanks for adding Tom. Had to be done.

By the way, speaking of “Bosom Buddies,” “Weekend Today” had a “Newhart” reunion feature this morning. Peter Scolari said that when he showed up for the first day of the show and Bob Newhart saw him, he said “I wanted the other one” and that his dressing room door said “Tom Hanks’ friend” or something like that. Good stuff.

Looks like a comprehensive list to me, Eric. BTW, I can’t help but add someone who just missed the 70′s with an early 80′s TV debut:

Tom Hanks
TV: Bosom Buddies (1980-1982)
Oscar: 1988 Nominated Best Actor for Big
1993 Won Best Actor for Philadelphia
1994 Won Best Actor for Forrest Gump
1998 Nominated Best Actor for Saving Private Ryan
2001 Nominated Best Actor for Cast Away

I mention this because, if you had looked me square in the eyes in 1980 and told me that one day, two of Hollywood’s biggest and most acclaimed stars would be Robin Williams and Tom Hanks, I’m sure that I – even at the tender age of 12 – would have told you that you were full of it.
