Did you know
- TriviaThe last minute switch by CBS to convert the TV movies to a weekly series prompted Maureen McCormick to bow out of the project. McCormick had just welcomed a daughter and did not want to commit to the weekly grind at that point. She also apparently was not keen to the storyline of Marcia being an alcoholic, having dealt with substance issues in the past.
- GoofsNora is a nurse in the movie and in the Brady 500 2 episodes but by the end of the series she is suddenly going in to business as a caterer with Marcia and Tracy. There is no mention of her quitting her nursing career.
- Alternate versionsThe 6 episodes were later re-edited into three TV movies for syndication and featured a new theme song sung by Florence Henderson.
- ConnectionsFollowed by Brady Bunch Home Movies (1995)
Featured review
They tried
Bless their hearts, they tried. They tried to put a situation comedy family, who is at the cornerstone of American pop culture, in a family drama. But it simply didn't work. It's just like trying to make a Cadillac out of a Volkswagen ... it ain't gonna happen! Assigning major problems to each of the family (e.g., Marcia's alcoholism, Bobby getting paralyzed), along with using a laugh track just didn't work. In hindsight, if the producers had gotten a decent writing staff and flexible directors, "The Bradys" might have worked. Unfortunately, it simply destroyed the Brady franchise. Fortunately, we still have the reruns of the original 1969-1974 ABC series, which will be around for a long time. So will, unfortunately, this show, which is bound to turn up in reruns at some point.
