"Too Close for Comfort" reunion, Part 1

Actresses Lydia Cornell and Deborah Van Valkenburgh discuss their nearly three-decade friendship and share tales of Tinseltown survival at the retrocentric celeb convention The Hollywood Show on July 18, 2009, in Burbank. The "Too Close for Comfort" stars disclose their experiences working with TV father Ted Knight in an industry that tacitly states that young, beautiful actresses should be seen thin and voluptuous and not heard. Now an outspoken political blogger/radio host/writer, Cornell—who once naively crushed on co-star Jm J. Bullock— also shares her views on gay marriage.

I had a bigger crush on Deborah who played Jackie (the brunette.) Don't get me wrong, I thought Lydia (Sarah) was hot, too. I was 10 when the show came on and I have been in love with them both ever since. They both are still hot!

Lydia seems very smart and modest person and its sweet how she was intimadated working with an icon like Ted Knight from the classic mary tyler moore show...young starlets today seem so obsessed with themselves and would probably be fighting with the older stars of the shows for the limelight

I just found TCFC recently & been watching it every other evening. I still like the music in the opening & Jim was the straw that stirred the drink. He was funny.

The current[1/12] inhabitant of the Oval Office is a USURPER

There is nothing good about aging. It is a nightmare from which you will never awake , until you drop dead

@mslegacy01 , wow, between your uneducated gutter language and the useless, nasty remarks you make about people you don't even know, your own words reveal everything anybody needs to know about your character and the way you were raised. No class at all.
