First, here’s the good. Members of the cast of 227, the 1980s NBC sitcom, will be reuniting next Thursday, March 4th Wednesday, March 3rd. Tune in to see Marla Gibbs, Jackee Harry, Regina King, Hal Williams, and Curtis Baldwin back together after 20 years. No doubt they’ll talk about the recent loss of costar Alaina Reed Hall.
Tomorrow, the castmembers of Eight Is Enough are still coming together. On Tuesday, March 2nd, The Partridge Family are reuniting. Unfortunately, Shirley Jones dropped out but Suzanne Crough will now be filling her spot.
Finally, on to the bad news. Florence Henderson had to drop out of the Brady Bunch reunion but Maureen McCormick was added to the gathering. After hearing this, fans who’ve been following the Bradys recently were curious to see how Eve Plumb and McCormick would interact.

The two supposedly haven’t been getting along since, while promoting her book, McCormick told some stories that she and Plumb innocently practiced kissing together while shooting the show. That got blown out of proportion and sensationalized. McCormick didn’t seem to do much to set the record straight and Plumb got upset. McCormick said that she tried to apologize to Plumb but then, when McCormick’s book came out in paperback, it all started up again.
Well, it turns out we won’t get to see the two former Brady siblings interact next week. Despite the segment being promoted on Friday’s show, it has now been cancelled. Susan Olsen got the call and shared the news on Friday afternoon. She said that she wasn’t told the reason but surmised that it was a problem with her TV sisters.
So, as it turns out, we’ll still get to see three classic TV families reunite — just not exactly the three we were expecting. To wrap up…
Monday: Eight is Enough
Tuesday: The Partridge Family
Thursday Wednesday: 227
If the reunions are made available online, we’ll be sure to post them.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear the Bradys won’t be getting back together for a cast reunion or does a 227 reunion excite you more?
Sidenote: we recently spoke with King and asked her a couple questions about 227, The Boondocks, and her current show, Southland. That interview will be posted soon.
3/2 UPDATE: On Tuesday, the Today hosts mentioned that the 227 cast would appear on Wednesday. The website still says Thursday. We’ll post the video whichever day the cast appears.
