Because nostalgia for Pacey Witter has reached an all-time high this summer, it doesn't come as a shock to find out that Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson is interested in having Joshua Jackson appear on his current show, Vampire Diaries. Assuming this happens -- and while it probably won't, anything could happen -- it would be a boon for all those Pacey-Con disciples. But which other former actor/writer pairs should also re-team for a reunion? Movieline investigates ahead.
Ted Danson on Mad Men
Funny story: Before Matthew Weiner was a certified genius because of his work on Mad Men and The Sopranos, he wrote for Becker. As they say in Some Like It Hot: Nobody's perfect. Still, perhaps that link can draw Ted Danson into the world of Mad Men. After all, Roger Sterling could use a dapper silver fox brother.
Adam Brody on Gossip Girl
Brody and Josh Schwartz made beautiful music together on The O.C., and since Chuck is basically Seth Cohen, Super Spy already, the only logical landing spot for a reunion is Gossip Girl. Brody was pretty convincing as the baddie in Jennifer's Body, so get him an arc playing some Hollywood pretty boy who starts a bad romance with Blair, only to reveal himself in the final act as Georgina's stepbrother. Win.
Kelsey Grammer on Modern Family
Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd worked with Grammer on Frasier and Back To You, so this proposed reunion feels fairly legitimate. Normally Grammer plays the stuck-up conservative -- and why try to fix that? Cast him as Jay's college roommate, a born-again with his eyes on Gloria.
Julian McMahon on Glee
McMahon watched Ryan Murphy sink Nip/Tuck into oblivion with increasingly crazy stunts, and he can come along for the ride when Murphy does it again during Glee's second term! His evil demeanor seems perfectly suited as a male counterpoint to Sue Sylvester. I know Murphy said he didn't want to add any more cast members, but you don't believe that, right? Dump Principal Figgins and put McMahon in charge. At least for a week.
Cybill Shepherd on The Big Bang Theory
Kaley Cuoco's Penny needs a mother and who better than Cybill Shepherd, herself once a nubile blonde fawned at by geeks the world over? Shepherd worked with Chuck Lorre before on Cybill, and assuming they don't want to rip each others' eyeballs out, this could be a fair match. And in case you were wondering, there is some precedent here: Cybill co-star Christine Baranski has already appeared on The Big Bang Theory as Leonard's mom.
