The Brady Bunch Hour

I still can't believe this existed. I know it DID but it still seems like a fever dream to me.....

I don't remember a thing about it.

Robert Reed looks like he wants to pour gasoline over his perm and set himself on fire... even MORE than he did during the original BB.

And yet apparently Bob Reed REALLY wanted to do the show. Maureen McCormick is quoted as saying he found his inner Dorothy singing and dancing. LOL

They sang a cover of Love to Love You Baby?!

I have to watch an episode. It can't be any worse than Donny and Marie singing Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the Years," can it?

I've seen episodes and I find it more funny than the actual The Brady Bunch show because the writers added some self-awareness and dry humor and the actors were playing parodies of their characters. It would have been better as a regular sitcom without the awful music and dance numbers.

Plus a fake Jan, and a coked-up Marcia. What's not to love?

I have the entire series on bootleg DVDs. It really must be seen to be believed.

R4, it was supposed to be “Love to Love you, BOBBY.”

In one of the Brady Bunch documentaries, after it was revealed (again) that Robert Reed hated doing the sitcom, Florence Henderson said that he LOVED doing the variety show because "he wanted to be a song and dance man".

Susan Olsen may be a massive Trumper cunt, but she wrote a great book.

Robert Reed was hot even with that ridiculous perm. He and Flo did have chemistry on the show, and while quaint today, it's clear Mike and Carol had an active sex life.

Did they make Alice wear that dress? And dirty twerk Sam the Butcher?

Redd Foxx and the cast of What's Happening guest starring was hilarious.

There must have been BOWLS of cocaine backstage.

R15 They snorted PERU, honey. Mountains of coke!

R16, they were known around town as Alice the butch and Sam the butcher. Some other woman was the butchest.

[quote] In addition to the Brady clan, next-door-neighbor Jack Merrill (Rip Taylor) frequently finds his way into the act and is a love interest for the Bradys' maid, Alice (her former boyfriend, Sam the Butcher, is never mentioned).

Ah, young love!

Rip Taylor was man enough for a Sam less Alice.

Lee and Farrah guest starred - was this after Farrah ditched Charlie's Angels??

by Anonymousreply 21December 14, 2022 3:12 PM

R5- I agree with you. The Donny And Marie Show was FAR MORE cringeworthy than the Brady Bunch Variety Show.
