The cast of Family Ties, which ran from 1982 to 1989, reunited for Entertainment Weekly's Reunions issue in October. “People grew up with Family Ties,” Michael Fox told EW. “That’s a very special relationship I enjoy with people. I was there for a lot of big things in their lives. I wasn’t physically there but I was a friend in their lives. It’s really a blessing to be able to have people associate you with something pleasant and positive in their lives.”

The cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show reunited for the Reunions issue as well to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the cult musical. “There’s something incredibly simple about Rocky Horror Picture Show in terms of its color and props and scenes,” Barry Bostwick told EW. “And I think that’s what people respond to. That they can be any character in it if they have the balls to stand up and put those costumes on.”

Felicity

Scott Speedman, Keri Russell, and Scott Foley came together for the first time in 13 years for the Reunions issue as well, and things got a little wild. Not to spoil too much, but they all ended up in bed and Speedman misplaced his pants. “This agent called my mom and told her that I had to read the script,” said Speedman on getting his role in Felicity. “So, I did. And I loved it. Genuinely. It was one of those moments when you read something and it’s absolutely right for you at that time in your life.”

After he was injured in a car crash in June of 2014, Tracy Morgan reunited with his 30 Rock costars on Saturday Night Live in October. Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Jack McBrayer and Jane Krakowski welcomed the actor back with a skit of a “prophetic” scene from 2012, in which Tracy had “technically died for seven minutes after trying to non-artificially inseminate his boxed jellyfish.”

When Disney Channel brought former Cosby Show child actress Raven-Symone to the forefront of her own sitcom, we were all better for it. Raven had an undeniable knack for making the perfect facial expressions and nailing comedic rhythm. That’s So Raven ended in 2007, but Raven, Anneliese van der Pol, Orlando Brown, and Kyle Massey all met up in 2015 on Symone’s new show, The View, to talk about the good old days.

In 2006 when Friday Night Lights first aired, it would’ve been strange to see Luke Cafferty, Jason Street and Smash Williams pictured together with an infant. Almost ten years later, former teammates Matt Lauria and Gaius Charles are getting some quality time in with Scott Porter, pop culture’s favorite QB, and his son, McCoy Lee Porter.
