Now here's an odd little news item.
TV Land president Larry Jones says that a new TV show is in the works featuring former Laverne & Shirley stars Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams. The two would play themselves and live in Marshall's house, where the show would be filmed.
This could be ... interesting -- or an utter disaster. But it does bring up a fun question: what other former TV pals would you like to see in a reality show? How about Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore living together? How about Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow? Jack Klugman and Tony Randall would be great, but Randall passed away several years ago.
Readers? Maybe Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt would be up for it.

Joyce DeWitt and Suzanna Somers would be the greatest reality TV show ever, I'd have to watch that idiotic show ... I couldn't resist.
Ofcourse, I think Joyce Dewitt lives in a cave in Tibet while Suzanne Somers house burnt down because of Iraq?

Oooo, even better -- Tom Hanks lives his normal life, but every week we get to watch as Peter Scolari stalks him, ninja-like, attempting and failing to kill him. You know, all the good stuff like Hanks coming out his front door in a bathrobe, coffee in hand. Bends down to get the morning paper and *thunkthunkthunkthunk* half a dozen throwing stars stick into the door right where his head was.
We could get weekly guest spots from all the Bosom Buddies cast.
Come on, you know Hanks could make it work.

Oh, Please! Just what we need - another lame reality show to recycle stars of the past. Instead of a series, make it a one shot tv movie. Give them characters and a script to work with. Reality shows are a waste of time.

I sure would like to see Lee Majors & Lindsey Wagner together again as the Senior Bionic Couple. That would be fun. Greasing up the bionic parts for another mission in saving the world from terrorists and spies.

Lucky #7 blogger stated all that has to be said concerning this "idiotic", "moronic", idea of putting a show, another "REALITY" show, for the viewing public to "stomach!" The lone fact that they want to term it a reality show only confirms that they know first hand that if they used either Penny Marshalls' or Cindy williams" name in the title, or for that matter, called it "Laverne and Shirley, the new millenium", the public would, probably out of curiosity for the most part, view about 1/3rd of it and grab the remote and use it to change channels therefore leaving "Laverne and Shirley" to forever drift out there in TVs' "moldie-oldie" airspace! What's next, a REALITY version of "Happy Days"?? Couldn't you just see "The Fonz" as an elderly, leather jackeded "hood" whose main concern wouldn't be how many "chicks" he knew, but, where and how close the "restrooms" were and how he could maneuver, not his mororcycle, but his walker! If TV wants to do anything "REAL", keep the "gang" from Milwaukee, resting peacefully, and not try and resurrect the "dear departed" and then try to say it's a fresh idea of theirs!
