Jun 17, 2014 8:20 PM CUT _Blossom_, the ’90s sitcom starring Mayim Bialik as its hat-wearing heroine, is coming back to TV for a syndication marathon in July — but in the social-media consciousness of many of its fans, it’s already here. The network Hub, which will air the marathon, hosted a cast reunion for actors Mayim Bialik, Joey Lawrence, Michael Stoyanov and Jenna von Oÿ, and yesterday the photos from that event made it to Instagram and Twitter.

[pic.twitter.com/izBDrKQuLw](http://t.co/izBDrKQuLw "undefined") — Mayim Bialik (@missmayim) [June 16, 2014](https://twitter.com/missmayim/status/478611165174439936?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") _Blossom_ is only the latest nostalgia-worthy TV show to take advantage of social media to drum up interest in a reunion. Though reunions are nothing new for[ morning shows](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/house-prairie-cast-reunite-40th-anniversary-show-article-1.1774631 "undefined"), [alumni shows](http://www.eonline.com/news/522519/girl-meets-world-stages-the-ultimate-boy-meets-world-reunion-shawn-and-cory-s-parents-to-appear "undefined") and [magazine covers](http://cdn-media.extratv.com/archive/images/news/0729peoplecover.jpg "undefined"), Twitter and Instagram have proved to be capable of summoning huge interest in shows that have been off the air for decades. Mayim Bialik’s Instagram [picture](http://instagram.com/p/pUCqFFKBo-/ "undefined") of the _Blossom_ reunion has been liked nearly 7,000 times in just one day. And perhaps it’s not just coincidence: according to a [2013 Pew study](http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/social-media-user-demographics%5Fb38095 "undefined"), use of Twitter and Instagram is sharply correlated with youth, and the millennials and Gen-Xers who are most likely to use those services are also the ones who were the right age to enjoy sitcoms about young people in the late ’80s and ’90s.

And, with former cast members [openly pushing](http://www.eonline.com/news/530474/patrick-duffy-wants-a-step-by-step-reunion-and-answers-the-show-s-biggest-mystery "undefined") for more, it’s a trend likely to continue. The logical next step: Snapchats with Teletubbies. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2889875/blossom-joins-wonder-years-full-house-in-sitcom-reunion-trend/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2889875/blossom-joins-wonder-years-full-house-in-sitcom-reunion-trend/"},"headline":"Blossom Joins Wonder Years, Full House in Sitcom Reunion Trend","datePublished":"2014-06-17T20:20:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:27:43.481Z","description":"In my opinionation, sitcom reunions are more popular than ever","url":"https://time.com/2889875/blossom-joins-wonder-years-full-house-in-sitcom-reunion-trend/","keywords":["Television","Photos","Full House","nostalgia","Instagram","reunion","TV","Sitcom"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f66a4af3b96e09c/698697f113c79f3639192af2/blossom.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lily Rothman","jobTitle":"Rothman is managing editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/lily-rothman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7f66a4af3b96e09c/698697f113c79f3639192af2/blossom.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Blossom","caption":"Blossom","creditText":"Alice S.
