Which Cast Aged The Best? My Money's On Those Kids From Bayside.
By Joanna Robinson | Seriously Random Lists | February 16, 2012 | Comments ()
TV and film cast reunions are a guilty pleasure of mine. They’re a go-to for lavish photo spreads and a yearly staple in the big glossies like “Vanity Fair,” “Entertainment Weekly” and “Empire.” Why are they such fun? Sure there’s the novelty of a clever set-up: a funny prop or a winking inside joke. But, in truth, the real reason reunion photos, both formal and un, are irresistible is pretty damn petty. It’s the same reason that draws us to high school and family reunions. It’s that mildly petty but always enjoyable comparison game. Who’s aged the best? Who’s the most successful? Who’s too good to even show up? There’s also, if you pay attention, plenty of juicy personal backstory and drama. (The Scream reunion photo gave me the heebie jeebies.) So what do you think? Which of these reunions, plundered from the glossies and the red carpets, are the best? I saved my favorites for last.
