With reunion movies in the works for Arrested Development, Entourage, Party Down, Bored to Death, and more shows probably, one sitcom that won't be given the big-screen treatment is Friends, according to producer Kevin S. Bright. Promoting the Blu-Ray release of the wildly-popular 90s series, Bright told TV Guide, "There is absolutely, 100 percent no talk about a reunion. Maybe they'll find a reason one day, and obviously the reason can't be about money and things like that. Other than that, I don't think there is a reason to do it. There will be no Friends movie." Rumors of a Friends movie have been swirling around for years, with [...]
In November, the New York Comedy Festival is bringing together all the major players of The Ben Stiller Show: Janeane Garafolo, Bob Odenkirk, Judd Apatow, Andy Dick, Jeff Kahn, Rob Cohen, and, you guessed it, Ben Stiller. This about 20 years since the show was canceled by Fox after only 12 episodes. In that time, many of these people went on to great careers and others were Andy Dick. Other announced shows include a live taping of You Made It Weird, "Crowd Work with Colin Quinn," Splitsider's own Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer will be doing "Nikki & Sara & Friends," and Denis Leary will have a [...]

"I don't believe in nostalgia, so I would say it's more like that sprinklings of the past are good. It's not about the good old days. It's like, 'I want that back on my pizza.' And when you see Kurt [Loder], Tabitha [Soren], and Matt [Pinfield] together, they're like our superheroes. It's our superhero story."
-Fred Armisen to Vulture on reuniting an MTV VJ dream team for the new season of Portlandia.
The cast and crew of The Ben Stiller Show reunited at The Paley Center in New York this weekend, celebrating the short-lived but influential Fox series' 20 year anniversary. The panel included co-creators Ben Stiller and Judd Apatow, cast members Andy Dick and Janeane Garofalo, and writers Rob Cohen and Jeff Kahn, with cast member/writer Bob Odenkirk appearing via Skype. The Comic's Comic reports that Garofalo and Cohen announced the annulment of their fake marriage at the panel. The two, who were dating at the time, married each other at a Las Vegas drive-thru wedding chapel as a gag 20 years ago and recently got it annulled so [...]
The members of Monty Python will reunite in the live-action/CGI sci-fi farce Absolutely Anything, in which they'll voice "a group of aliens who endow an Earthling with the power to do 'absolutely anything' to see what a mess he'll make of things." While not technically a Monty Python film, the movie would bring together the five living troupe members for the first time since 1998. That is, if they can convince Eric Idle to join in. And that may be no easy task, if "Yoko Idle" is still pissed off about, you know, being called "Yoko Idle."
The Wayne's World gang is getting back together. But don't get too excited, it's just to talk about the movie, not to make another one. THR reports that Wayne's World producer Lorne Michaels will host a reunion panel at LA's Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences following a screening of the film on April 23rd. Joining him will be stars Mike Myers and Dana Carvey and director Penelope Spheeris. Spheeris had a falling out with Myers after he banned her from directing the sequel for ignoring his editing suggestions, but everything is patched up now. Spheeris tells THR, "We're all getting too old to be pissed. Wayne's [...]
CBS is producing a pilot called Beverly Hills Cop, based around Axel Foley's son Aaron Foley (played by Brandon T. Jackson), and it looks like the stars of the original movie will be reuniting for the pilot. It was previously announced that Eddie Murphy, who's executive producing the show, will guest star in the pilot (and possibly in future episodes if Beverly Hills Cop gets picked up), but The Wrap reported yesterday that Murphy's BHC co-star Judge Reinhold will also be appearing in the pilot. Reinhold's role will only be a cameo, but he and Murphy will probably appear onscreen together. The Wrap says that his character [...]
"The truth is Kenan [Thompson] does not want to be seen with me in any form of media, or even have my name mentioned around him… There is no bad blood on my side, I'm not declining a reunion, I know the fans love the show and would love to see some type of appearance with us. I just don't see that ever happening because of how he really feels."
-Kel Mitchell to TMZ about Kenan Thompson's disinterest in a Kenan & Kel reunion.
Entertainment Weekly reunited some classic TV and movie casts for this month’s reunion issue, including Arrested Development, Cheers, and National Lampoon’s Vacation, but today, EW published an interview with Garry Shandling and a reunion video of the cast of HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, featuring Jeffrey Tambor, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Rip Torn, and more.
