Phylicia Rashad

The Cast of Family Ties (Michael J. “Is He Ever A” Fox is ageless, and Yothers is the MVP of “grew into her looks”)

The Cast of The Facts of Life

With a special shout-out to Cloris Leachman, who has looked the same since 1987. Which is to say, old, but not oldER. Most impressive, Frau.

Paul Reiser

Justine Bateman, who was not included with the rest of the Keatons because I’m willing her to eat something.

Skippy from Family Ties, aka, Marc Price

The Cast of Welcome Back Kotter (seriously, what the hell happened to Epstein? That Newsradio episode wasn’t that long ago, was it?)

It's baffling to me that Michael Gross thinks he looks better without a beard.

Posted by: Todd at April 12, 2011 2:06 PM

Fun Fact: Marc Price's dad was my pediatrician.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at April 12, 2011 2:07 PM

Skippy's head is upside-down.

Is that Mindy Cohn on the far left of The Facts of Life pic? Weird.

And when did Epstein turn into Bruce Vilanch?

Posted by: Kballs at April 12, 2011 2:17 PM

Holy Shit!!! Someone turn up the atmosphere before Skippy's head explodes from lack of opposing air pressure!

Posted by: PissBoy at April 12, 2011 2:23 PM

There seems to be some sort of suckage going on from Justine Bateman's face to Mark Price's. Beware the vortex.

I can't for the life of me remember Cloris Leachman on Facts of Life. But I do love her now on Raising Hope.

Posted by: katy at April 12, 2011 2:24 PM

Is that Arnold Horshak on the left?

Posted by: kirbyjay at April 12, 2011 2:33 PM

And call the police! It appears someone has stolen part of Mindy Cohn's neck.

Posted by: PissBoy at April 12, 2011 2:33 PM

That's unfair to put a theme park caricature of SKippy instead of an actual photo.

Posted by: Paultera at April 12, 2011 2:37 PM

It looks like Justine Bateman should be playing a sarcastic elf in something.

Posted by: jM at April 12, 2011 2:37 PM

Black don't crack.

Umm, hello. That's not Mindy Cohn, that's Geri Jewell. She has cerebral palsy.

Posted by: E at April 12, 2011 2:44 PM

Well, having cerebral palsy is no excuse for confusing the shit out of everyone. She should be more considerate.

Posted by: Kballs at April 12, 2011 2:49 PM

Thank you for not posting a picture of Helen Hunt. I have no idea if she was there or not....I don't watch this! I have things to do...laundry, ironing, cat-polishing, watching Tracy Morgan FAIL miserably on the Comedy Awards!!!

Helen Hunt frightens me. Really, truly frightens me. Not in the SJP-run-me-down-when-I-go-to-the- Kentucky- Derby kind of scared, or the Fran Drescher-bust-your-earholes kind of scared, but the come-and-eat-your-soul-when-you-are-asleep kind of scared....

Tracy Pollan still looks great. Why did you and Ellen have to break up, Alex?!?!

Posted by: DarthCorleone at April 12, 2011 2:53 PM

@dammitjanet, that picture of Helen Hunt is almost eaxactly how I've been picturing the character of Eldrich Palmer in The Strain trilogy. Except with less hair and smaller tits.

Posted by: Groundloop at April 12, 2011 3:23 PM

Meth must be a hell of a drug, to judge by Justine Bateman. Or whatever she's on. Oxy, maybe.

Posted by: Slash at April 12, 2011 3:25 PM

If this post doesn't give SyFy some movie casting inspiration, I don't know what will.

Posted by: JuiceinLA at April 12, 2011 3:30 PM

That is Geri Jewell in the Facts of Life photo, not Mindy Cohn.

Posted by: soupd at April 12, 2011 3:40 PM

ya'll are so awful... i'm laughing so hard and I NEED to be working!

"Well, having cerebral palsy is no excuse for confusing the shit out of everyone. She should be more considerate.

You are so going to hell, Kballs. See ya there!

Posted by: Stella at April 12, 2011 3:42 PM

Jewel the Gimp!

Posted by: dammitjanet at April 12, 2011 3:43 PM

I'm surprised that Kim Fields didn't show. Tina Yothers is still doing the goth thing.

Time has not been kind to Gabe Kaplan, but Marcia Strassman is looking not bitter as the wife who was disappeared from the last season.

Posted by: Jerry at April 12, 2011 3:48 PM

@kballs - That. was. hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

@Todd - Agreed. Every time I see him sans beard, it's my first thought. Also, without his beard, he looks a lot like my dad. Which is a little weird.

Mindy Cohn and Kim Fields were both there - I saw a picture that included them on another site.

Re: Justine Bateman - maybe it's just residual cool points from her Mallory days, but I still think she rocks. She is lacking some color in her face, and she looks a little sallow, but I get the feeling that she's just a hippie - not a methhead. Plus, she had that great arch on Arrested Development, where she was totally innapropriate with her own brother, so how can you not like her?

Posted by: Nicole at April 12, 2011 4:00 PM

Maw Maw is 85! she's been playing grannies since we were kids

Posted by: idleprimate at April 12, 2011 4:02 PM

What the HELL, Helen Hunt?! Remember when she was all super cute and even a tiny bit chubby-cheeks? I mean godbless'er and all for aging, and not becoming a crazylady plastic surgery junkie (tits notwithstanding) but seriously, she looks like the crypt keeper.

Remember Helen Hunt in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" which I may or may not own on DVD? It's hard to believe she was ever so cool as to wear a giant plastic grasshopper on her hat or crash a fancy society party with a bunch of weirdly agressive punk-rock-bodybuilders. God, what a great movie.

Posted by: Nicole at April 12, 2011 4:12 PM

Is that really Tina Yothers? Much much prettier than I expected. She kinda looks like a goth version of my GF. ;)

Posted by: harold ballard's ghost at April 12, 2011 4:42 PM

These definitely aren't the TV stars of MY youth.

I guess what I'm trying to say is y'all are a bunch of geezers.

Posted by: AM at April 12, 2011 5:15 PM

Wow. A few years back Phylicia Rashaad had put on a lot of weight. Good to see her looking fabulous again!

Posted by: Lexie at April 12, 2011 5:18 PM

Skippy looks like the living version of a Seth MacFarlane drawing.

Posted by: Skyler Durden at April 12, 2011 5:20 PM

Phylicia Rashaad looked FABULOUS at every size. Everything I have ever seen or heard about her (including Bill Cosby's admiring praise of her) leads me to think she is a wonderful woman. I STILL love Claire Huxtable, a role she never received or was nominated for a single award.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at April 12, 2011 6:30 PM

Holy shiz, I never say this, but I want to do a makeover on Justine Bateman SO badly.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at April 12, 2011 10:36 PM

well... that quickly became distressing.

Posted by: firedmyass at April 13, 2011 12:17 AM

Who knew Parkinsons was the fountain of youth. Fox is still so cute.

Posted by: lawnjart at April 13, 2011 9:20 AM

I think Tina Yothers grew into several people's looks.
