Al the major characters were shown in clips from the original show. I think Richard Deacon (Mel) and Morey Amsterdam (Buddy) have both died. I'm not sure about Jerry Paris. I tuned in late and saw Dick Van Dyke, MTM, Rose Marie, Carl Reiner, Jerry Van Dyke and the woman who played Millie Helper, the next-door neighbor. I read that the grown up Richie was to be there, but I missed him.
I loved this show when I was a teenager. My favorite episode was one in which Laura was given a hugh brooch in the shape of the U.S. by Rob's parents. It was horrible, of course, and I think she ended up dropping it in the garbage disposal. Funny, but I never see that one in the re-runs.
