Question:
Does anyone know what happened to that show? I think it was called Reunion.?
It was about these 5 friends and someone got killed. One girl had a baby and gave it up for adoption and the other friend was the babysitter. The babysitter would let her friend see her baby. One guy got in a wheel chair. One girl went to hollywood and became a star. It kept going back to the old days and the present day. It never finished the whole story, it just came off without notice. It has been a couple years ago and it is still buging me to know what happened. Who got killed? If you know anything about this please help me. Thanks

When FOX lowered the boom on "Reunion" in late November, the show's creator says there was no way to resolve the show short of a full season because of how "intricately plotted" it was.
It was so intricately plotted, in fact, that the question of who committed the murder at the show's center was still up in the air.
That, at least, is the word from FOX Entertainment president Peter Ligouri, who on Tuesday (Jan. 17) addressed the show's early demise with reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour.
"'Reunion' was particularly cumbersome in terms of trying to provide an ending for the audience," Ligouri says of the show, in which each episode represented a year in the life of six friends, one of whom ends up dead. "How [creator Jon Harmon Feldman] was laying out the show to gap those additional 14, 15, 16 years was an incredibly complex path. There were a number of options, and he didn't make a definitive decision on which option he was going to go with as to who the killer was, and there was just no way to accelerate that time."
Feldman himself hinted at that in a statement following the show's cancellation, saying that solving the mystery of who killed Samantha (Alexa Davalos) was "partially reliant on characters we haven't yet met -- and events we haven't seen."
Ligouri says the network and the show's team talked about several ways to go with the killer's identity, but "the best guess was at that particular time that it was going to be Sam's daughter," whom she gave up for adoption early in the series. The why of the murder remains a mystery.
Despite the failure of "Reunion" to grab an audience -- it averaged 4.3 million viewers in its time on the air -- Ligouri says FOX won't shy away from different forms of storytelling in the future.
"It is regrettable when stories end before their time. I don't think that should stop us from being ambitious with serialized storytelling," he says. "... We put these shows on and we're going to continue to put these shows on every year with every good intention to end them, but eventually the audience votes."
