Count me among those who will be watching! The DVD releases of the show are IMO the best for any TV show next to the Galactica DVD set. Great job for the best sitcom ever (IMO).

Nice. I do believe that I will have some quality TV watching next week.
Thanks, Jewels!

Nostalgia is in, too bad the fools at sci fi can't see the trees for the forest. Dick Van Dyke is also the father of actor Barry Van Dyke who portrayed Lt Dillon on Galactica 1980. We might hate it but it is better than that other thingy we hurt ourselves with.

If you want to see Lieutenant Dillion as a child check out the first season Van Dyke episode "The Talented Neighborhood" where both he and his brother appear.

If you want to see Barry closer to how he is now, check out an ep. of Diagnosis Murder.

I feel I must cast the lone dissenting vote. I hated that show (and most other sitcoms). Looks like another night reading for me.

Just a reminder -- less than an hour.

I enjoyed it! Maybe a little too clip-heavy in the second half but I found it well worth seeing.

Okay, now that my favorite sit-com of all time has had their reunion show, bring on the continuation movie!!

Thank you BST very thoughtful of you!! It was a nice trip down memory lane! Is it my imagination or has Mary's voice changed? It's hard to see the change in her face, so sweet and innocent in the early clips, to a colder more aloof look in her eyes now, I know she's been through hell and back in her life but it's painful to read that in her eyes.

It was fun, and worth the cast's time. Cute reason to pull the cast together. Rowan I see what you mean in Mary Tyler Moore's eyes--she wasn't the sprite she was in the 60s. Dick Van Dyke is still classic though. and both of them can still dance some!

Thomas, don't feel bad, I only taped 2 hrs of A Wrinkle in Time. Aaarrrgh.

Too bad they didn't think of doing a reunion a decade earlier when Morey Amsterdam was still alive. But given the execution, this fell under the better late than never category for certain!

June 29 and Season 5 will be out on DVD to complete the series!
