I almost named my two new dogs after two iconic characters—Sam and Diane—but my partner had other ideas. The boy dog, now called Pete, is a big, lovable goofball who’s always ready for fun with his tail wagging like there’s no tomorrow. He’s not the brightest pup around, but let’s be real, he’s no fool either, especially when it comes to fetching a ball like a certain famous baseball player, Malone. On the other hand, my girl is a gorgeous, neurotic whirlwind. She’s incredibly smart and stunning, yet she tends to trip over her own paws. Interestingly, she’s head over heels for Pete, who sometimes leads her on a merry chase.
So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that Cheers is making its way to Broadway in 2016 with a show titled Cheers Live on Stage! According to Rolling Stone, CBS is not only bringing back our favorite bar and its lovable characters—Carla, Coach, Norm, Cliff, Dr. Frasier Crane, Woody, and Rebecca—but they’re also reviving other nostalgic favorites for the stage.
One of them is The Brady Bunch, a show that many of us grew up watching in reruns after school. Greg, Bobby, Peter, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy felt like family to us. Who can forget the Brady Bunch Movie from 1995 starring Shelley Long from Cheers as the beloved Carol Brady? CBS is reportedly bringing this classic to the theater, although the specifics are still under wraps, so stay tuned!
And speaking of classics, how could we overlook Corduroy? This beloved 1968 children’s book by Don Freeman features a teddy bear with a missing button on his overalls, waiting to be noticed in a busy department store. The heartwarming tale, which inspired an animated series on PBS, will also make its Broadway debut. I can already picture parents and their little ones lining up at the ticket counter.
But that’s not all! CBS is tapping into the nostalgia for the ’80s and ’90s, bringing back more beloved shows for our enjoyment. Take Fuller House, for instance. I didn’t watch Full House when it originally aired because I was busy living the college life, but my kids can’t get enough of it now. Thanks to our trusty DVR, Uncle Jesse, D.J., and the rest of the Tanner family have become part of our daily routine. The Netflix reboot promises to return many original cast members, including John Stamos and Candace Cameron Bure, as they explore D.J.’s life as a veterinarian after the loss of her husband, turning to her sister Stephanie for support. Sadly, the Olsen twins have opted out of reprising their role.
Then there’s Girl Meets World, the revival of the classic Boy Meets World, which follows the life of Cory Matthews and his family. Now, it’s Cory’s daughter Riley who’s taking center stage, giving a new generation the chance to enjoy the story.
And how could we forget The X-Files? Gillian Anderson recently shared a nostalgic photo of Scully and Mulder’s chairs, stirring excitement among fans. Creator Chris Carter has reunited the duo for a six-episode arc, bringing back the gripping sci-fi drama that changed television forever.
