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

    • A poster on Bluesky has reminded me that this was that awful story where Jen was engaged to Lawrence. Further she thinks that Jack was going for one of the SNL wild & crazy guys. And then she adds how much she misses Vern. And, don't we all?!! For the DAYS virgins among us, Vern was the newspaper editor & also father to Brian & to Tanner, Vern Scofield. Vern was a good friend to Jack, at a time when Jack didn't have many friends. 
    • It's Eurovision week!

    • And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings. 
    • Yes, I would agree that she has some rights to tell Dante because it's their son's brother and it's very unfair Dante never knew.  The whole scenario is odd to me because I don't know why Dante or Olivia were kept in the dark in the first place.  I think Dante would have absolutely accepted Brook Lynn's choice.   I can see Olivia possibly having some issues with it, but she never got the option to react either. 
    • Head trip for EON fans and thanks to @GymnastGuy who's been posting tons of Search episodes on YouTube.  SFT August 22 1985 episode Executive Producer: Erwin Nicholson who produced Edge for nearly two decades; this was his last job (9 months starting March 85 through Nov). Co -Head Writer (with Paul Avila Mayer) Stephanie Braxton who played Winter on Edge Actors: Joe Lambie (Logan) as Lloyd; Lois Kibbee as Grandmere (she stepped in for the Maureen O'Sullivan who had played the part for a few episodes, Lee Godart (Elliot) as Bella; Louise Shaeffer (Serena/Josie) as Stephanie. Other non Edge tidbits: Audrey Peters (Van Love of Life); John Loprieno (Cord OLTL) Of course SFT was filmed at EUE studios where Edge had taped. Most of the technical crew were Edge crew for decades.  Background music same as Edge (Elliot Lawrence productions).

    • Ahh...so in that case it's more of a gray area. But I still think Lulu  has ground to tell Dante as she co-parents with him. 
    • Well Disney owns the archive of all ABC soaps plus Santa Barbara. There are no known plans for Disney to do anything at all with the archive. Some of us are very excited because GH has done modern digitizing of original scenes of young Lucky & young Liz to use as flashbacks now & the past few months. Jerome Dobson last year teased that Santa Barbara might be streamed sometime. It had been tied up in some litigation & that is over now. The reason Disney owns it: it was owned by New World. FOX bought them. Disney bought all of FOX.
    • I casually watched it as a kid, but I finally started X-Men: The Animated Series season 1. It's going to be fun watching it from beginning to end.
    • Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!! Retro tv did an awesome job!!!! Have a look :
