They will meet there again for this special reunion to tour the famous grounds, talk about the series' most infamous storylines, reminisce about their time together on the show and sit down to a Texas-style barbeque.

Are you raising a bully, a brat or a wallflower and don't even know it? He'll reveal what type of child you have and what to do about it. Taking on some of the biggest challenges and problems facing parents today, he'll literally change the life of one family�and just may change the way you look at your own.
