I remember some of the episodes. The one I remember the most is when Vincent Price kidnaps the boys who find a hideout in a cave. There is also a Tiki involved that gave the family a curse. I don't really remember it that well, but it was ok. Eventually Vincent Price frees the boys, and reveals that he doesn't want to be alone.
I've read somewhere some of the actors couldn't get along with each other. Eve Plum, the woman who played the middle daughter, refused to be in their Varity special, so they replaced her with someone else.
I don't know who it was that replaced her, but this took place before I was even born.
Then, came the movies....
They starred: Shelly Long, Gary Cole, a young Christina Taylor...there were so many. Even the youngest siblings were my age.
It seem a greedy land developer wants to destroy a neighborhood, the one where the Brady family lives. They do their best, through songs (which irritate) me to stop this from happening. Some of the neighbors don't care and want the Brady's to leave, only for them to change their mind later and kick the land developer out. Florence Henderson guest stars as their grandmother. Other original Brady's (mostly the children) would be various roles.
The sequel I would remember more. This one involved the return of the original father of the three girls. Carol Brady is shocked as he reveals him to be the long lost father. However, he's just a rube that wants a statue of a horse.
Greg and Marcia start to well...fall in love. Jan starts feeling jealous that she doesn't have a boyfriend. Greg wants to be like Roy Martin (Carol's supposed husband) and Bobby and Cindy started a junior detective club. They soon learn the dark truth.
It was ok. By the end, the imposter is arrested and well....another bombshell is revealed. Barbara Eden from I dream of genie shows up in her genie costume saying she is Mr. Brady's wife. Only it was just a joke.
Today, it seems the brady fad is done. They did a few more movies, but they were flops. They even had a sad tv show involving all the adult children. It didn't work out.
Now all the actors of the Brady's went on to voice acting and appearing as themselves in tv specials.
I never cared for the show, but the acting was ok. Till then, enjoy the Brady's and remember, they are still one happy family.
