I don't have cable but at the gym I saw a snippet on TV Land of a brand new Brady Bunch reunion with all six kids. Does anyone know anything about it? If it's just an interview or an actual new show?

A jillion, but it seems like one of the six always boycotts. For example, I believe Eve Plumb refused to participate in the Seventies Brady variety show. I think that's the point of this thread - maybe it's the first time all six have been in the same place since the show went off the air. I have no clue if that's true, but that's what I inferred from the thread...

Allow me to reveal myself as a total Brady geek and correct this to:
"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"

The entire cast participated in the short lived Brady Girls Get Married series back around 1981.

Should've read the entire thread. Ditto what the above post said... :sigh:

Yeah, that's correct. Eve Plumb did not appear in the musical variety series in 1976. Then the entire original cast appeared in the 1981 reunion movie "The Brady Girls Get Married". That was spun off into the short-lived "Brady Brides" series, on which Maureen McCormick, Eve Plumb, Florence Henderson, and Ann B. Davis were regulars. In the 1988 "Very Brady Christmas" reunion movie, Susan Olsen did not appear. That was spun off into the short-lived "The Bradys" series, on which Olsen returned to the cast but Maureen McCormick left. So yeah, "The Brady Girls Get Married" is the only reunion project which featured the entire original cast.

It's a bit of stunt-casting for "CSI: New York" on CBS this fall. The six kids reunite to mourn the tragic slaughter of Cousin Oliver.
"Jeez Lieutenant, he's splattered all over the walls!"

:laugh:
After watching that spoof feature film that was in the theater a few years back, I can't watch the real thing with a straight face...Any reunion would be a cliche of themselves...

I remember seeing some sitcom a few years back where one of the main characters had a dream he was a Brady, and a bunch of them appeared in kind of a spoof of the show. The mom was downing coffee all the time, if I'm rembering correctly. Then again, maybe this was just a dream I had :help:

You're right...it was the CBS sitcom that Julia Louis Dreyfuss was in between SNL ands Seinfeld...Can't think of it's name though.

And don't forget the great SNL spoof where the Brady Kids and the Partridge Family had a "battle of the bands." :D

The show was Day By Day, a one-season-wonder redeemed only by that Brady episode. I loved The Brady Bunch movies - I thought the premise was great and it spoofed the series in great fashion. Except for that made-for-TV one a couple of years back where they kept Gary Cole and Shelley Long, but replaced actors who played the kids (I'm guessing they were too old by that point).

I'm still waiting for the Brady Bunch TV show to be released on DVD. The Partridge Family on DVD will be out soon.

Well, everyone is alive and well except Robert Reed, so it looks like a 2004 reunion would be a good idea. Hard to believe Greg is pushing 50!!!
Could you imagine if they brought The Brady Bunch BACK as a series in 2005?? Even tho it didnt work in the 90s as "The Bradys" for some weird reason (with the Brady Bunch movies being such a big sucess) i think it might work as a spoof of the original.

And ironically, the character on Day by Day who dreamed he had become a Brady was played by Christopher Daniel Barnes, who later wound up cast as Greg in the Brady feature films.

You, my friend, are a Brady God!! :) . I thought I was pretty good being able to recite most of the dialogue from the original shows but I would not be able to summarize the chronology that you've provided :thumbsup: . Good work!!
My favourite line still has to be "Pawk chops and apple shawsh. That's schwell".

Here's the press blurb from Yahoo News:
A Very Brady Experience on TV Land:
TV Land will celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Brady Bunch (yes - time flies!) with an original Brady cast reunion, Still Brady After All These Years, and a 48-hour marathon beginning on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 6 a.m. ET. The one-hour special premieres Sunday, Sept. 26 at 10 p.m. ET on the exact day the sitcom began 35 years earlier. The marathon will kick-off with the pilot episode, followed by the three-part episode of The Bradys in Hawaii (where surfer-dude Greg wears the cursed taboo idol and "wipes out." In Brady terminology, that means he almost drowns!).

Oh, how can you pick a favorite Brady line when there are so many?
Two of my favorites:
"Congratulations, Jan. You've just given 'popular' a new meaning."
and
"Oooh, my nose!"

Besides featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, "Day By Day" also featured Courtney Thorne-Smith. Mmmmm :D

If they do a Brady Bunch DVD series, I hope they at least add Robert Reed's photograph to the box art. I know this sounds silly, but there have been several Brady Bunch calendars and posters produced in the past few years that have deleted Mike Brady from the photographs (to the point where a poster representing the tic-tac-toe opening credits have moved Alice down to the bottom center square, and the words "The Brady Bunch" are in the center square). I think this has something to do with licensing Reed's image with posters and advertising and whatnot...

I saw Barry Williams at the Taco Bell in North Hollywood on Lankershim and Oxnard (a real nasty li'l part of the valley) last week. My wife called me the next day and said that she sat next to Christopher Knight at some restaurant. Maybe they're working on something new...

I saw, several years back, a short clip from the Brady song and dance show of the 70's
that was so dumb-founding, that I can't make my friends believe that I did NOT make it up.
The scene had some Brady kids dressed in costumes from the "Wizard Of Oz"
singing the song ,"the theme from Car Wash" .
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ? ? ?
Why ? What was the point? Or was there a point?
I've been trying to find a copy of the scene, just so I could show it to my friends.
Does anybody else remember this ?

That was real. It was from the Brady Bunch Variety Hour, a Syd and Marty Croft creation. It's on DVD!
