Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams are both 63.
Christopher Knight is 61 (and has been married four times!)

I've met him. He's adorable and super-nice. Very very bright. Had a career in computers.

Why/how is she the richest? Tell more about the values and lifestyles differences. Too bad Jan and Marcia aren’t close in real life!

Eve Plumb seems like she feels she's better than everyone.

I wonder as kids how many felt their families/parents needed them to get the gig and how that impacted their outlook on life?

I just watched the first episode and I have mixed feelings on it. I love renovation shows but this just feels so wasteful. Like fitting a square peg in a round hole. I get recreating the 1969 look, but at the expense of the remnants of a perfectly good house sitting in a landfill. I was born in 1965 so I guess I watched reruns when I was older. I loved the show, but this recreation seems like such a stretch and superficial. But of course I'll continue watching.

I see your point, but that house would have ended up with a massive overhaul any way. This is partly educational, seeing all of the techniques in the recreation. But you have to understand that our generation lived this show (and a few others). That house was America's house. We haven't gotten over it and we are aging fast. We are in our late 50's and early 60's. This is the time.
I think that it will become the next dream home giveaway.

I remember Maureen at one point lectured on safe sex education and heard that Cindy became a fire and brimstone conservative, but not sure how true that is.
