I think we need another reunion movie. This one with Jo. Especially before something happens to Charlotte. I don't know her real age (I don't beleive much on the internet) but i know she was like middle age when the show was on so she's got to be Betty White's age or close to it by now. I beleive Betty is going to be 93 in December (or January).

Maybe this time they could all get together for a big 90's birthday party for Mrs. Garrett. Maybe by now she's been remarried for a few years to that chef that worked in Blair's hotel. Maybe Blair's having troubles dealing with a child, Natalie is trying to balance work and marriage to Harper and maybe Jo's adjustting to being a young grandmother. I think the last movie was in 2002 and she had like a 12 year old so now her daughter would be in her 20's. Maybe Tootie's still single...looking for her next great love.

The last reunion movie was in 2001. The reason Nancy McKeon wasn't in it was twofold: She was on the Lifetime show The Division at the time, and she also didn't think a reunion movie would be a good idea (and to be fair, that often turns out to be the case). For some reason, though, I can see her being a lot more open to it now.

Lisa's kids in that picture are her oldest son, Tucker, and her youngest daughter Clancy (who absolutely has her mother's face). Her middle daughter, Haven, looks even MORE like Lisa in the face and has been married for about a year or so now.

I watched the reunion movie when it aired, but I don't remember it airing shortly after 9/11. I read that's one of the reasons why it didn't do so well. FOL was famous for its telefilms, but I'd much rather watch a taped live in front of a studio audience reunion. I wish to God Good Times would do one with special appearance by ghost James, or better yet he faked his death and abandoned his family like his own father but for a Jesse Hubbard type reason? Wow, I really just fell down the rabbit hole...

It did. It aired right around Thanksgiving 2001, actually, and I think they were shooting some of it right around 9/11. I haven't seen it in a long time, but I want to say that they snuck in a subtle tribute to those killed in 9/11 in the final toast at the final dinner or something.

This may be REALLY unpopular, but while I love the early years of the show, some of my favorite episodes are actually in the final, Over Our Heads/post-Mrs. G. years. I'll admit that I eat those two Stacey Q episodes (oops, sorry, Cinnamon! :lol: ) up like a spoon. :D

    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
