Melis

Cool, 227 was a fun show.

Barrybgb

It was.

Starting March 1, Today is going to have classic tv family reunions. The cast of 227 is going to be one of them!.

Melis

Oh that should be neat to watch.

Is this on DVD?

Barrybgb

Yep. Everyone who is still living will be there. The main Jenkins family will be there, as well as Jackee and Curtis Baldwin who played Calvin.

I think the first season is on DVD, but I am not 100% sure.

Melis

I'll have to catch a video online since I won't be home.

Barrybgb

Cool. I'm gonna try to see it somehow.

Melis

Let us know how it is.

Barrybgb

I saw the reunion. It was nice. They all keep in touch. Regina King, who was Brenda, was almost crying. They'll be coming back on in a minute to answer questions and stuff.

Melis

Cool, I haven't seen anything. I like Regina. I'm watching her current show. She's really good.

Barrybgb

Yeah, the cast was praising her. They called her their "star". It was sweet.

Melis

That sounds nice.

Barrybgb

It was.

They talked about Helen Martin who was the old lady. I forget her name. Jackee said she was something else. 94 when she passed. Jackee said she was in the hospital near the end and the doctor told her not to worry. She would be OK. She goes, "Then what the hell am I doing here?." Lol.

Melis

Oh joking in the hospital. lol

Barrybgb

Lol.

By the way, season 1 was released on DVD. Naturally, no more after that so far.
