Blossom fans could see the sitcom cast reunite again on the small screen. This time for a reunion series updating fans on what the characters are doing now. Viewers may have seen cast members Joey Lawrence, Michael Stoyanov, Jenna von Oÿ, and Ted Wass appear on episodes of star Mayim Bialik’s current series, Call Me Kat.
A family comedy series, Blossom aired on NBC for five seasons between 1991 and 1995. The show revolves around a quirky teen girl (Bialik), her two elder brothers (Lawrence and Stoyanov), and their single dad (Wass). The sitcom cast also includes David Lascher, Portia Dawson, Barnard Hughes, Finola Hughes, and Courtney Chase.
Bialik revealed that the comedy’s cast is on board for a reunion, and a script for the pilot has already been written. She said the following, per Variety:
“The show was supposed to be ‘Catcher in the Rye’ about a girl, which was unusual. And we’d like to do a reboot that’s unusual. We’d like to do a single cam. All of the cast is on board.
It’s a set of conversations with Disney because there’s a lot of red tape and there’s a lot of complexity. It’s complicated.
Tony Thomas, who was our original EP, is on board. Paul Witt passed away, but we believe that Paul has been with us this whole time. My schedule has not been even open enough to think about it, but Don and I are finally ready to have more of a meaningful plan around it. And people ask me all the time about it. You know, we were an unusual show about a girl at that time. There were no network shows about girls. Everyone was like, ‘No one will watch that.’ And here we are.”
Bialik is currently starring in FOX’s Call Me Kat, which has not yet been renewed for a fourth season, and also hosts episodes of Jeopardy!
What do you think? Are you a fan of Blossom? Do you want to see where these characters are now?
Don’t know about reunions, but the original BLOSSOM sitcom was extraordinary funny!!!
To this day I tell other Germans about it and all the funny stuff I remember. Unfortunately not that easy to rewatch it anywhere, isn’t it?
It’s currently on Hulu.
I would like to see the reboot of Blossom.
