Ever wonder what happened to your fave television stars from the ’60s and ’70s? Well, we know where they’ll be the weekend of Jan. 17. Dawn Wells (a.k.a. Mary Anne from Gilligan’s Island, Jerry Mathers (from Leave it to Beaver), Bob Eubanks (host of the original Newlywed Game), and Ed Asner (Lou Grant from The Mary Tyler Moore Show) will all be partying it up the Sea Island resort on the Georgia coast. And you can join them for just $395 a night.

Why The where-are-they-now weekend will include a TV trivia game hosted by none other than Bob Eubanks and a dress-as-your-favorite TV character costume party. Plus, there will be a question-and-answer session with Wells, Mathers, Eubanks, and Asner, where guests can ask questions up close and personal, such as:
Would Mary Anne use emojis if she were around today? (Wells, thinks, yes maybe she would.)
Why was Lou Grant cancelled so abruptly? (All the “hulabaloo” at the time, according to Asner.)
You’re still alive, Jerry? (We have to admit, one or two Yahoo Travel writers may have mistakenly thought Mathers was a victim of the child actor curse. Glad he’s not.)
And the most pressing question: “Bob, how did you get those stupid people to say stupid things you did on The Newlywed Game? (According to Eubanks, a mobster once asked him that same question. Ask him about that story.)
Looking good, Eubanks. Looking good. (Bob Eubanks/Facebook)
There haven’t been this many classic TV stars in one room since the 1960-something Emmys. Or at least since that last old-TV-timers convention.
