The Brady Bunch Meets The Partridge Family

[@waynemcdonald4448]

Wish they really had an episode where the Bradys see The Partridge Family at a concert & meet them after. I could see Greg falling for Lori & Marcia crushing on Keith.

[@Paul8820]

Seems like a crossover between the two shows was a missed opportunity.

[@MultiAnimationdude]

No, what was a missed opportunity was to have this film set in the present day (a la The Brady Bunch movies) and have the Partridge bus take a wrong turn into WB's lot instead of Paramount's. Care to guess what would have happened next?

[@Sebakeng]

Not to mention Danny torturing Bobby and Cindy, and maybe pitting Peter against Jan.

[@jessyleppert2]

Shirley Jones was supposed to play Carol Brady

[@rangerannie5636]

She turned the part down.

[@h193013]

If they were able to do this after both shows ended I’d like to them do this with The Addams Family and The Munsters. That is a crossover I have always dreamed about. It would also be neat if they did this with Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie but The Addams Family/Munsters would be a priority for me.

Allegedly, Elizabeth Montgomery hated IDOJ and considered it a poor knockoff of her show. So she probably never would've agreed to it.🤷🏽‍♀️

[@h193013]

@@AlmondJoie This didn't feature any of the same actors from either shows so even if Elizabeth Montgomery hated I Dream of Jeannie they wouldn't need to use her or Barbra Eden to do a crossover

[@lisascorp]

​@@h193013True. But it would be hard to find anybody as beautiful as Elizabeth Montgomery or Barbara Eden. I watched Bewitched in reruns from the time I was 4. I always wanted to be like her and look like her. Just loved Bewitched.

[@cannondaleman1]

I couldn't pick one over the other. I grew up with and loved both families.

When did that happen?

There's a photo of Brian and Suzanne talking to a young Michael Jackson.

[@rr7firefly]

I wish there was footage of the Brady Bunch meeting the Manson Family. Riding down Mulholland Drive on motorcycles.

[@stephenr3910]

I remember this was from some silly TV movie that Danny Bonaduce narrated years ago. I doubt it really ever happened.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

It didn’t

[@annecohen8927]

And hilariously ensues

[@rr7firefly]

Grrrr... as soon as the cameras stopped rolling they tore each other's limbs off. Blood everywhere. Both shows cancelled. Massive memorial service at the Hollywood Bowl, with Ethel Merman singing "God Bless America." Alice sent to a mental institution after she freaked out.

[@chrisgardner7063]

I could've sworn there once was a TV movie called The Brady Bunch Meets The Partridge Family. Both casts were actually in it. Must've been my imagination.

[@googalacticgoo]

Mandella effect

[@JennyBurkeAirSupplyAirhead]

This part of it, but the casts are different, since it was made years after the shows.

[@JeremyYost]

It was an SNL skit in 1992.

[@STho205]

This was a docudrama movie about making the series from Danny Bonaduce's POV. It was either in the 90s or the early 00s. No Mandella Effect. There was never a crossover episode.

[@kayden7911]

Excuse me, but David Cassidy's hair was always PERFECT, and in this movie, it is not, so...what's up with that? Definitely NOT groovy, lol.

[@timothykissinger4883]

That's what was wrong ,this actors hair is to loose.It all over the place.

[@SteveHart]

Haha, that was fun

[@danlawson6318]

I find it fun, that there are some people who took this seriously. Each generation has it's share of stupid.

[@misterhot9163]

I knew that Shirleys Oscar would’ve been thrown into the dialogue 😂

[@thewvnetwork]

You're right it never did happen exactly like this, but I'm certain at some point during the shows' years on the air they did do publicity of some type together for ABC. Many shows marketed together back then, and also did network image campaigns which are now--almost--a thing of the past. In the 1990s, Danny Bonaduce and Chris Knight, as adults, did duke it out in the ring for charity. Danny won. I'm certain this was probably a little nod to that.

[@markkenderdine6975]

I think it was Barry Williams, not Christopher Knight in that match.

[@dannydougin3925]

That was Danny and Donny Osmond you dolt! Do your research.

[@thewvnetwork]

@@dannydougin3925 There was more than one match, nimrod. You might want to take your own advice before starting a war on a two year old comment. Get a life...or at least learn to fact check your own fact checks. ;)

[@scvandy3129]

As fuzzy cute as it looks for the Partridge bus to drive from the Columbia Ranch, then through Paramount's lot and discharge the cast -- NEVER would have happened -- AT LEAST that way. In reality, behind-the-scenes, each of the cast (plus adult guardians for the under-18 year olds) would have been put in limos or cast-and-crew vans, all air-conditioned vehicles driven -- following guidelines of negotiated contract between labor and management -- by members of Teamsters Local 399. Unless "Partridge" was filming a scene with the musical family riding the bus (with no A/C, which wasn't as common half a century ago) it would have only been one Teamster delivering the 'picture vehicle' from Burbank (Columbia Ranch) to Hollywood-adjacent Paramount Studios, on a narrow street within sight of "The Brady Bunch" stage. More TMI: At Paramount, if necessary, the director requests the "Partridge" cast hop on the bus, then, with cameras 'rolling,' they exit the bus in order to meet the Bradys -- captured on film 'for all time.'.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

I heard that Sherwood Schwartz wished he had created The Partridge Family. It seemed like he tried to copy them by making the Brady kids singers.

[@harperstacey9604]

Sherwood Schwartz also created Gilligan's island. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@partridgefamilybus2021]

Yes, Schwartz definitely cashed in on the Partridge success by turning the Brady's into singers in their second season. Tho they didn't perform much on the show, the Bradies actually went on tour during the summer time - and unlike the Partridges, ACTUALLY sang and danced.

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Did this ever really happen?

[@STho205]

No, it was in a docudrama about Bonaduce's years with the PF. Produced around 1999.

[@susannecardoza4556]

Where can I watch this? I've never seen it

[@misterhot9163]

Wait, what???? 😮

[@dannydougin3925]

The Brady Bunch shot on Stage 5, not Stage 6 at Paramount. Also there would *not* be fans on the lot for autographs ... the writers of this drivel must be daft! This clip and the accompanying music was stupid.

[@Earthman99999]

This probably never happened. What would have been the point other than to make an awkward situation?

[@Jamesalec63]

In a dream episode maybe or animated series alongside Scoobby and the Mystery Team and Hardy Boys and Fantasy Island? This could have happened in animation the Lone Ranger appeared in The Brandy Bunch and not seen anything of The Partridge Family?

Yes after all we all grew up knowing at least one family who was a traveling professional music group. So realistic.

[@billd7197]

@@EastSide-qc5oy yep, PF was based off the Cowsills family singing group. Interesting.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

@@billd7197 I understand that. And the Brady Bunch was based off developing trends with blended families. I don’t see PF as any more “realistic” than the Brady Bunch though. Both were essentially sitcoms with a touch of fantasy.

[@rr7firefly]

Partridge Family didn't have a daddy. Brady Bunch's father was dancing in gay bars every other night (and there is nothing shameful about that).

[@dalehoward3704]

It was a total publicity stunt. I remember seeing it in a Tiger Beat magazine. Shirley and Florence were friends in real life.

[@rr7firefly]

Except that time when Shirley dumped a truckload of quick-setting concrete in Florence's swimming pool. Florence rounded up Patty Duke and Jerry Mathers and they trashed Shirley's house and set fire to her car.
