'The Reunion': WDIV legends Carmen, Mort, Chuck and Bernie reunite

"The Reunion" brings together one of WDIV's most iconic broadcast teams for the first time in years. Carmen Harlan, Mort Crim, Chuck Gaidica and Bernie Smilovitz re-unite to reflect on the station's legacy during its 75th anniversary in Detroit television.

Nostalgia overload. It would be so awesome if all three came back to do news for just an evening, the ratings would go nuts.

[@adriandemoss3441]

Truly a news team you could trust

[@wolfiethedog76]

We were spoiled in Detroit with the great anchors at 2,4,7 and 50. Legendary at sports broadcasting with Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey as well.

[@DawnMB1]

Yes we were !!and let’s not forget George Kell and Al Kaline ( broadcasting also )

[@marcrichard7251]

I always miss channel 4 and channel 7 news people as I grew up with these legends…

[@adriandemoss3441]

You guys were always my favorite news crew never never had a better crew

[@edjonatchick]

Carmen still looks great! Just watched a WDIV interview with Van Earl Wright, these bring back a lot of nice memories.

[@charlenewilson-dudley5116]

[@marvinfanny8989]

Real journalism at its best!

[@ralphembury1193]

I used to watch these guys every night from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Loved these people

[@leeleea4164]

❤️❤️ I'm loving this ❤️❤️. Carmen's laugh is EVERYTHING!

[@brandonj8018]

right???

[@ericjohn8466]

I was lucky enough my parents weren't sticklers on a certain time to be in bed as long as I didn't give em grief in the am to be up for school. I was also lucky that I watched these 4 people at 11 pm before I watched Carson who'd I stayed up for (I was a weird kid, not much has changed) but now I realize I think while I stayed up to watch Johnny I never made it through his show without falling asleep. It was this wonderful team who kept a kid interested enough to watch the whole broadcast. Waxing nostalgia is never a bad thing. Thank you for this reunion show.

[@karenestinson1889]

OMG I really enjoyed seeing the. Show. Thank you all for sharing this with us. Happy Thanksgiving. WDIV !!!!💕💕💕

If you were an 80s or 90s baby in Detroit...this is just everything

[@Itsgonnabeok1325]

I loved this and could’ve watched more! Sure do miss those days! Wonderful to see you all together❤

[@user-fj1em6tf9p]

They were the BEST.

[@samanthac.7965]

All of my warm and comforting voices as a child. I love you all and god bless!!🥹🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DetroitCoalition]

This team is a part of Detroit like Faygo and BetterMade. Mort's demeanor should be the standard for news anchors. Carmen was one of my boyhood crushes. But beyond that, she well represented her city during some of our city's brightest and darkest moments. Chuck is still the best I've seen at making weather fun. And Bernie's personality was the right fit for the athletes and coaches we had in the 80s and 90s. You are all well-loved, well-respected, and dearly missed.

[@wmarkdyer]

Had a thing for Carmen Harlem watching the Detroit news when I was at Western Ontario in London Ontario. London was caught between Toronto and Detroit. It was awesome

[@beverlywoods7095]

As a Canadian teenager, living in a border city, I grew up watching Mort, Carmen, Chuck and Bernie. I really enjoyed this special. Thank you. 🇨🇦

❤Channel 4 always this was the news team I grew up with I miss being home channel 4 was where it was at if you wanted to know anything

[@timothymeehan181]

I left Detroit for California in ‘96, and always liked Carmen Harlan and thought her “pretty”, but being home for Christmas around 1999-2000, staying with my mom in Royal Oak, we were shopping at Somerset Mall and bumped into her/Carmen standing at a sales counter in Nordstrom’s, I think, and was bowled over by how absolutely stunningly beautiful she was in person, we’re talking STAGGERINGLY beautifuL. Also, super warm& friendly…..just sayin’…..🙏❤️

[@dm95422]

A reunion isn't the same without Ruth Spencer in the mix !! Ruth To The Rescue !

[@fanmaxis3004]

Good to see Ol Mort on there again! I remember when he was doing those Gardner White furniture TV commercials

[@oopik0059]

[@burietamayes6781]

Where is Evrod Cassamy?

[@oldskoolcardude6361]

He left for Chicago.

[@antoinemoorman5754]

He took a job in Chicago

[@crlaw75]

I remember when Bernie left the station and was replaced by Van Earl Wright (around '93?). I did NOT like Van Earl and was happy that Bernie came back (he was lucky to get his old spot back).

[@kevinmcdormand5514]

No Chumps of the Week here.

[@kevinkelley332]

Bernie working overtime? 10 minutes per week. Worst sports director imaginable> compare him to what Dan Miller does.
