    It took alot of convincing in the first place, but I just finished watching Firefly and Serenity last night, and am quite dissapointed it never went further. I believe if the series had came out now, with the aid of social networks like Facebook and Twitter, it might have had a greater chance as succeeding. And if Fox hadn't carried it.

    Um, Star Trek anyone? Man From U.N.C.L.E.? Leave It To Beaver?Lots of shows had reunions in the 80's to please baby boomers. And how could you miss Happy Days or The Cosby Show's reunion, where once again Lisa Bonet showed she could give a shit.

    C'mon, Cynthia Nixon has been back onstage nearly every season since The Show That Shall Remain Nameless went gentle into the premium cable night. I know that most of America doesn't give a shit about NYC or theater, but she's working. A lot. And it isn't in ads for spray-on salad dressing.

    I am so freaking happy to see Saved by the Bell on the cover of People and, while I'm usually a stickler on requiring all former cast members to be present for something to be called a reunion, I don't mind that Dustin Diamond opted out. He really could've gone places but instead just turned into a huge asshole and blamed the show and his childhood for being such a jerkoff.

It was like he had no concept of the fact that he would be a NOBODY without it. It also took away some of the magical feeling I get when TBS airs sbtb.

    To be completely fair to Serenity, it turned into a very respectable, if low-budget, movie (MetaCritic 74, RottenTomatoes Top Critics 81). I can't stand most science fiction, but was actually glad that my wife made me watch the series and the reunion movie.

    @Astigmatism: Yeah, Serenity doesn't really fit here. The movie wasn't so much a desperate reunion as a "Fox fucked us over and didn't even show our full season before cancelling us, so here's a last hurrah for the people who *did* watch the show." Not to mention, almost everyone who was on Firefly is doing pretty well now, career-wise.

    Oh, and the Full House stars are around if you know where to find 'em. The trick is to subject yourself to shows like Make it or Break It and 90210 and to watch ER for five years after the rest of the country thinks it's gone off the air.

    @Conchie Birdie: The final few episodes are still available on Hulu. I know this because I had been watching the last season, then I had to quit about halfway through and the non-Carter episodes have been timing-out from my queue.

    PS) I believe Stamos is in the next Kevin Spacey film.

    Nothing beats the sheer unmitigated horror of the "variety" specials the Brady Bunch staged where they all sang and danced- except bitter/drunk/ geigh Robert Reed. He was so disgusted by what he'd stoop to for a buck he barely moved during the dance numbers and they tried to keep him out of most shots.

    @GORDONGARTRELLE: Robert Reed appeared in an early episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show as a swinging single that Mary invites back to her apartment after their date. Robert immediately strips down to his underwear and Mary throws him out of the apartment. I was horrified because I thought it meant Mr. Brady was cheating on Mrs. Brady with Mary.
