And we even got treated to a gorgeous rendition of '5,000 Candles in the Wind'.
It's not easy to get a television reunion show right.
The Inbetweeners tried to do it last Christmas, and it was a disaster.
The actors weren't in character, but were still being referred to by their character names, what was that about? Jimmy Carr was there for some reason. It was a total mess.
But if any beloved TV series are looking to do it in future, they can follow the Parks and Recreation model.
The cast reunited for a once-off episode to raise money for a Covid-19 charity, and it makes for some really wholesome fun.
The characters all remained in character, and despite all operating from their own homes, still managed to pull together something excellent.
Sadly, the full version of the episode can't be seen in Ireland yet, but a few bits have been posted on NBC's YouTube page.
The best moment? This tear-jerking rendition of '5,000 Candles in the Wind', the tribute song to the tiny horse Lil' Sebastian.
Take a look:
Ron Swanson also gave us some expert quarantine advice, and would you really trust anyone more?
And Bobby Newport even stopped by!
