Awkward 1980 Mickey Mouse Club Reunion. Who Would You Do?

Billy Jean Beanblossom???

Is that a real last name?

Tim Rooney was cute.

No Tommy Kirk.

"Johnny" is Johnny Crawford from The Rifleman.

Notice Doreen is in the roll call but not in the musical numbers. Gurl showed her coochie in adult mags…she was in need of money at the time. She even posed naked in front of Disney Studios. The brass at Disney obviously didn’t like it.

Doreen is the felon Mousketeer!

And poor Karen became a paraplegic after a car crash a few years after this tv special.

Of course, Annette’s struggle with MS is well-documented, but she had a blackout a few years before this and always believed it was a precursor to her diagnosis.

Mike, Don and Lynn look like they car-pooled down from San Francisco.

Well hey there Charley!

Well, hey there, hi there, ho there, Doreen.

Beanblossom? Isn't that the name of that older male couple who adopted the young teenage boy in Kentucky or somewhere? We had a long thread on it.

I was thinking this looked like if the Lawrence Welk Show produced this after watching the Mickey Mouse Club and Brady Bunch episodes where they sang and danced. Then I really started to noticed that Bobby looked like he could have come from the Lawrence Welk Show, and then when I googled him, discovered he was a Lawrence Welk dancer. I know the kids were different ages when the show ran, but some of them looked about 15 years older than the others. Some of them aged better than others.

Tommy Kirk was never a Mouseketeer, although his "Hardy Boys" serial with Tim Considine was shown during broadcasts of "The Mickey Mouse Club."

Bobby Burgess is remembered more for "The Lawrence Welk Show," where he was one-half of Bobby and Cissy (and, earlier, Bobby and Barbara) than he is for the Mickey Mouse Club.

I just watched this whole thing and Charley isn't in any of the musical numbers wtf. He's so handsome!

She ain't the only one. Darlene Gillespie, who appears in this reunion special, was also a convicted felon who aided her husband in check-kiting schemes and securities fraud. Her first arrest was for shoplifting. Darlene, who actually had some singing and dancing talent, could never understand why Annette, whose singing and dancing talents were modest, to say the least, became the breakout star instead of her. It made her bitter. And turned her into a criminal! Darlene did have her own serial, "Corky and White Shadow," that was shown during "Mickey Mouse Club" broadcasts.

OP- Almost EVERY single guy seems GAY and the rest are on DRUGS.

Bet you think you're correcting a mistake. They featured Considine and made him an "official" Mouseketeer in the OP's link. Yet, no Kirk.

The Mickey Mouse Club 1977

Blair and that Blond girl from the first season of Facts Of Life

The CHUBBY boy Scott died of AIDS many years ago as did the Mexican boy.

Where's Doonese?

R14- BIG DEAL Kitten (Lauren Chapin) from Father Knows Best became a prostitute by the mid to late 1960's. One of her customers wanted her to dress up as KITTEN from Father Knows Best- how kinky

Johnny Crawford was my dad’s best friend…I always had a huge crush on him.

^^brother, not dad 😒

Bobby looks like a fag.

[quote]Bobby looks like a fag.

Bobby has been married for 50 years to Kristie Floren, daughter of Lawrence Welk accordionist Myron Floren. They have four children.

I could FEEL the polyester purchased from Sears that all their outfits and costumes seemed to be made from in this odd special.
