[@indieshack4476]

Robert Reed looks a lot more relaxed in this than he did in the original Brady TV shows, and Florence has lost her hair flip! Henderson was a Broadway-class singer and performer, the only person in this cast who really was, although Barry also appeared on Broadway. The Greg Brady dance routine should be played on an endless loop to break down foreign spies :)

[@bradyguy7701]

Actually, Maureen appeared on Broadway as well, and Eve appeared OFF-Broadway AND in Grease: Live! on Fox...although her character (Mrs. Murdoch, the auto-shop teacher) doesn't sing. Still....the merging of the Brady Bunch and Grease made my little 70s heart soar!!!

Does anyone else see that Chris Knight (Peter) didn't have his rehearsal routine well done? Since "Happy Together" he seems doubitant about what to do. But in "Happy Days" Knight have no clue. Look: 5:16 I love all six kids, indeed. But it´s just funny to point it out this "faux pas" from Chris.

It paid the bills. Looks like they had fun. Hey it was the 70's. Big collars ,bell bottoms ,and perms. It was cheesy but there were a ton of variety shows at that time. I kinda figured the Brady's would do this at the time. They sang on the Brady bunch. So why not? They touched on popular tunes at the time. And older tunes as well. All the women looked delightful .sad that Eve Plumb wasn't there.

[@anaislee1816]

I guess because the rest of the bunch signed on and because there was still a huge fanbase and demand for them, they had to find a replacement Jan. I read in an article that Eve Plumb didn't sign on because it required her to do up to 5 years of series etc and she was already branching out and making a new career for herself which is understandable. Although I'm 25 and was born way after they Brady Bunch heyday,( I still don't remember any of the actors for anything but the Brady Bunch and my parents probably wouldn't either) although, I still love the memory of my mother showing me 'The Brady Bunch'.
