> **[The Torkelsons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Torkelsons)** > > The Torkelsons is an American sitcom television series which aired on the NBC television network from September 21, 1991, to June 6, 1993. Produced by Walt Disney Television in season 1 and Touchstone Television in season 2, the series starred Connie Ray, Olivia Burnette, and William Schallert. For the second and final season, the series was retooled and renamed Almost Home. The series lasted a total of two seasons, consisting of 33 episodes. > Living in Pyramid Corners, a community near Vinita, ... Just re-watched _The Dance_. Whoever in the studio audience that wolf whistles when the camera cuts to (then 18 year old) Alyson Hannigan in her pink rose dance dress had better not have been a much older adult. This episode also has one of my favorite lines from Mary Sue (about Chuckie Lee doing the disappearing handcuffs trick on her): “This had better work, boy. Or you’re going to wish you could make yourself disappear!” ---

wow, i remember that show … mainly because they couldn’t make that show popular no matter how much they tried and Disney reran it on the Disney channel to make something back on it … Funny thing the main kid in it doesn’t even admit she did the show these days … ---

Since The Torkelsons is now a cult classic, i’d like to see an in-character reunion special produced by Disney who own it. One problem… although “Boarder Hodges” will have definitely died by this point even in the show’s world… how would they handle “Molly Morgan”?
