Personally, I don't think it's fair that some of these Hollywood folks get to just keep on making television shows. Especially the ones who don't age like the rest of us. I mean, what if I was waiting for Valerie Bertinelli to get too old for television? Or John Stamos, or Michael J. Fox? These people never look any older. I think they've found the Tuck's secret spring and have been sipping it for decades. In the end, there can be only one and my money's on Dick Clark. I think he is one of the Tucks.

Bertinelli has just been signed to star in a TBS sitcom as a mother of two. Good lord, One Day at a Time was more than thirty years ago! By my estimations that would make her ... let's see, she was a teenager then ... yes I know you can find her birthday easy enough online ... cross-reference how much hotter she was than Mackenzie Phillips ... then carry Schneider's creepy factor of 9.5 and you get ... one hundred and thirty two years old! Amazing! She doesn't look a day over forty-eight. I've gotta find that spring.

Reunions are hot, you know? On February 12, for example, Oprah reunited (most of) the kids from The Cosby Show, with Bill appearing via satellite. Well, never one to let a good idea go to waste, NBC jumped on the theme. They recently had a Family Ties reunion on Today, so now the morning show is commencing tomorrow with a series of more "Together Again" features. Tune into 8:00 a.m. hour each day so you don't miss a thing!

Alright, I'll admit it: I used to watch One Day at a Time, OK? I also used to watch Kate and Allie and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. So sue me.

Now it looks like One Day at a Time is finally coming to DVD. Many readers have written in to TVshowsonDVD.com telling them that a preview of One Day at a Time shows up in the extras on the Facts of Life DVD set. No official word yet, but since they have a preview on the DVD that's probably a sign that they are working on transferring them to DVD.

At last, we can see the overacting of Bonnie Franklin the way it was meant to be seen. We can see pre-Van Halen Valerie Bertinelli in all of her Valerie Bertinelliness. We can see the rise and fall and rise of Mackenzie Phillips. We can see Pat Harrington Jr. before ... wait, what's he up to now?
