Summary: 4 Stars
The beloved Brady Bunch have been with us for 35 years. It began with The Brady Bunch - The Complete Series (Seasons 1-5 + Shag Carpet Cover) tv series (1969-73), then they returned as a variety showThe Brady Bunch Variety Hour, a cartoon, and then a new tv-movie, The Brady Girls Get Married (1981). This followed with a new tv series, The Brady Brides (1981). In 1988, another reunion tv-movie was made, Very Brady Christmas [VHS] It was a success. They returned in a new tv-movie, The Bradys (1990) which was more dramatic. This spawned another new tv series, "The Bradys" (1990). This series was with the Brady kids as grown adults with children of their own dealt with more important issues including "Marcia" becoming an alcoholic.
Robert Reed was ill with intestinal cancer and had AIDS. He passed away May 12, 1992. To pay homage to Robert Reed, the cast returned in 1995 forBrady Home Movies.
That same year, someone had the gumption to make The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) with a whole new cast. It was created to spoof the antics of the original Brady Bunch tv series (1969-1973). Although, some original cast members made cameo appearances, the die hard fans didn't quite take to it. It didn't stop there. With another fake cast, they then made A Very Brady Sequel (1996) and The Brady Bunch in the White House These two movies were terrible. But if any good came out of this, it brought back interest of the original "Brady Bunch" cast.
In February 1993, Barry Williams wrote with Chris Kreski, Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, Special Collector's Edition This book told us of his memories, juicy tidbits, behind-the-scenes battles and many you-never-knew secrets the way only Barry Williams can tell it about the casts time as "The Brady Bunch". Before his death, Robert Reed wrote a Foreword for the book.
In 2000, the bestselling book became a tv-movie, "Growing Up Brady. Barry Williams, Mike Lookinland and Sherwood Schwartz makes appearances. Mike Lookinland's son, Scott, plays "Bobby".
The original "Brady Bunch" cast still pop-up on television once in a while with a new reunion special. They were last seen together in a reunion special on the TV Land Network in 2004 and on the Travel Channel, "The Brady Bunch Cast Back in Hawaii (2005).
It is always nice to see "The Brady Bunch" again whenever they return with Florence Henderson and Ann B. Davis too.
Movie Review: It's a sunshine day...
Summary: 4 Stars
This story of the making of The Brady Bunch is great fun for fans. It starts with the auditions, then the famous wedding/pilot show ("Tiger!!"), and goes through all five seasons with the kids growing up and becoming stars.
Barry Williams' memoir inspired this 2000 TV-movie, so it's no surprise that his alter-ego is the heartthrob and star of the show; his amorous longings for screen-sister Maureen McCormick play heavily in the script as does Robert Reed's distaste for the low comedy.
Young Barry is played by pre-O.C. Adam Brody who is utterly charming and the only one of the actors who even remotely resembles their famous counterpart. Williams narrates the story and he and producer Sherwood Schwartz appear briefly. The movie is all sugar and spice, a sweet and innocent rememberance of a much-loved TV series. Fans of the show will love it.
Movie Review: A well-done TV movie!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Adam Brody (The O.C.) and Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules) in a made-for-TV biopic about the making of the Brady Bunch that chronicles all the pain and controversy, that wasn't so controversial to begin with. The cast is great and it captures the feel of the TV show very well. This is a fun TV movie worth a viewing for fans of the show. Need I say more?
