Bands reuinted was a reality show that reuinted ex band members of one hit wonders. My favorite episode is the one with Romeo Void (hit song never say never)
The long standing resentments they had about each other, the misconceptions, the regrets you see it all. It ends up being very healing for a lot of the members and they forgive each other for he errors and ego of their youth.
Also Deborah Iyall will always be that girl.

They were the best band, and then they broke up. The VU reunion is also the least nostalgia-grabbing, most interesting and rewarding band reunion that I can think of. It burnt out quick but produced some great stuff. Linked “Coyote” above, their only “new” song before they broke up again
Television also broke up too soon.
I also wish Girls could have made more music together… and there are so many others

What's best about this particular breakup is
a) totally intentional on their part; "we've said what we had to say, we're good, thanks"
b) have resisted any and all attempt$ to bring them back/lure them for one-off things or tours
c) they actually did very brief and unexpected "reunion" things of the original four members (playing at a wedding reception; for an episode of Song Exploder; and for one song after being inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame) but have kind of gone back to their civilian lives peacefully.
The best example I can cite of "dealing with fame their way." And staying broken up. Preserving the (considerable) legacy for all time.
