'ONE DAY' CAST HAS REUNION SPECIAL

We're in the middle of sweeps, a time when old TV stars gladly accept another paycheck for doing some kind of goofy reunion special. The focus turns to CBS' One Day at a Time, the long-running sitcom (1975-84) about a divorced mother raising two teenage daughters.

Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli and Pat Harrington Jr. get together to reminisce. The show airs at 9 on WRDW-TV (Channel 12).
