Brady Bunch Reunion 2018 - All 6 Kids

I just watched this clip from a recent Brady Bunch reunion with all six kids which aired days ago an Entertainment Tonight. The Brady House in Studio City is going to be turned into some sort of museum. I'm wondering if Maureen McCormick had something done to her face, especially her mouth. I've notice in recent years her mouth looking really turned down like she's smelling shit (very noticeable starting at the 2:05 mark.) She looks weird. Eve seems to look the best out of the three girls and Chris looks best out of the boys. Susan still dons the same old blonde wig and looks very haggard.

Sadly I don't think any of them could afford to buy that house today. It was on the market for over $1 million recently.

Thank you for posting the video, OP. I’d only seen the article about the recent get together. It made me so happy to see all the kids together again.

I wish those Property Brothers were not involved.

Why only the kids? It's not a true reunion without the parents and Alice.

The parents and Alice are ALL DEAD, dimwit!

They always have their reunions in that same set, OP.

Great idea to have a Brady museum in that house!

They always forget cousin Oliver.

No love for me, poo-stabbers?

R9 There is bad blood between Robbie Rist and Susan Olsen.

Did Trumpster Susan Olsen go on any tirades?

Chris Knight would be so much better looking without the silly facial hair.

Are Eve and Maureen still not getting along?

Susan Olsen looks like a haint. Isn't she a homophobe?

I look at them and think “man they look old,” then I remember I’m Bobby Brady’s age.

R1, actually Eve could definitely afford to buy that home. She recently sold her tiny beach "shack" that she purchased many years ago for a killing. Believe she purchased for $50,000 and sold for over one million.

Is Peter still married to the antm winner?

What happened to the other 3 Brady kids? There was a black one, an Asian one, a white one. They called themselves the Rainbow Brothers or something.

I can't imagine the neighbors allowing that house to be turned into a commercial enterprise. I can't even imagine that neighborhood being zoned for a museum.

R20 that was for a spin off that never materialized.

Did Eve and Maureen ignore each other?

Was Eve actually there or just CGI'd in? Notice she was the only one not interviewed. I also noticed in the group shot Maureen was cowering behind Susan Olsen as far from Eve as she could get.

Chris Knight has always had a hot ass.

Molly Webber was an UNGRATEFUL CUNT

Why was Carol’s first husband hated so? Never mentioned and his name erased when the girls all took the Brady name. Abusive alcoholic or was Carol in the witness protection program?

Guess Maureen and Eve kissed and made up

I agree Eve Plumb looks the best right now of the girls and Chris Knight looks the best of the men.

"It doesn’t make a difference how I got here, Marcia; the point is, I’ve arrived!”

btw Robert Reed daughter (his only biological child) has adamantly refused to allow her father image in any Brady Bunch memorabilia. She holds the rights to Robert Reed image, and she WILL NOT allow it on any Brady Bunch stuff.

R17 (and R1 ).....the beach shack sold for $3.9 million!! So crazy.

My God, get over it. It was 50 years ago, Move on

R32, because he has other things to be remembered for?

Yeah, Christopher Knight looks great, but Barry Williams still iooks pretty good for 64. Mike Lookinland, meanwhile....

Is it just me, or does Eve Plumb totally look like Hope Lange?

Eve is actually a pretty talented artist. She might have enough money to buy the house on her own. Susan Olsen had a very unfortunate episode, where she got into a nasty exchange with some disc jockey, and used some very homophobic language. Yet, otherwise, she's been very supportive of gays. Social media seems to bring out people's worst instincts.

I recently read about Maureen McCormick's previous drug addiction. Apparently, she traded sex for drugs. I'm used to reading about Hollywood performers who've had scary lives like that, but reading about her in that condition is one of those very rare times that it brought tears to my eyes.

BTW, In those interviews, it seems like Kevin Frazier is doing all the work. He used to be our local sportscaster, and he's one of the phinest men I've ever seen (really nice, too).

[quote] Why was Carol’s first husband hated so? Never mentioned and his name erased when the girls all took the Brady name. Abusive alcoholic or was Carol in the witness protection program?

The back story for the show when it was original conceived was that Mike was widowed and Carol was divorced; but the network was anxious about this and thought this would be too modern for audiences to handle (they also didn't have any plan for whether mr. Martin, the girls' father,m would ever appear on the series). So they dealt with it by not ever mentioning what had happened to Mr. martin, whether he had died or divorced Carol. And then they just decided to pretend he never existed.

One of the weirdest things about the show is that while the fact that the boys and the girls are not biologically related is the major theme of the first season, it becomes nearly forgotten by the second and then thereafter: it's just a show about a family with six kids, which was the real behind it anyway. (Apparently many children fantasize about being in a large family so they would always have someone to play with, which is why over the years there have been so many shows about just that: Eight is Enough, Seventh Heaven, Step by Step, etc.)

Susan Olsen's wig is fabulously horrible. It looks like something from the sea landed on her head.

Why do the museum now? I was of prime age for the show and I'm now 61. Will upcoming generations even know or care about the Brady Bunch?

Does Susan have teeth now?

Susan looks like tragedy. She should have stayed home.

Susan Olsen is morphing into Sigmund the Sea Monster

Almost $4 million? Jan is set for life. Married and lives in Laguna Beach. Never had kids. The other kids must be envious (I obviously know nothing of their personal finances, but it would seem doubtful any of them would have accumulated that kind of a pile of cash).

[quote]She holds the rights to Robert Reed image, and she WILL NOT allow it on any Brady Bunch stuff

Well that seems like a genius plan for making no money at all, because to the best of my knowledge, nobody remembers grumpy Robert Reed for his Hamlet.

I remember Bob on Nurse and Roots.

Who keeps saying Eve is such a talented artist?

Eve was in “Grease Live” and it was so nice to see her.

PS we 90s kids know of the Bradys. They were in syndication like crazy during the 90s. It’s now that you barely hear or see it.

In her memoir, Maureen talks about her parents investing in a lot of LA real estate back in the 60's or even earlier. I got the sense that she isn't hurting for money either.

Bob’s daughter is holding out for licensing his likeness on lucrative “Nurse” related memorabilia.

R49 she isn’t. Maureen has money. Chris is fine also. It’s the other 3...

R47 You can find better art at Walmart. If she hadn't been on the BB who would be interested in her "art"?

I've read that Maureen gets multiplies of what any of the other kids get for appearances like this. She holds out for the money to the great annoyance of the others, most of whom really need it.

[quote]I remember Bob on Nurse and Roots.

Yeah, but they didn't have no t-shirts or lunch pails. Not even a sticker.

Christopher Knight really is a very handsome guy.

Of the girls, Maureen McCormick has aged the best. Christopher Knight for the guys (obviously).

[quote] Susan Olsen had a very unfortunate episode, where she got into a nasty exchange with some disc jockey, and used some very homophobic language. Yet, otherwise, she's been very supportive of gays. Social media seems to bring out people's worst instincts.

She became even worse since that happened. A total right-wing conspiracy theory nut job, and she NEVER was a friend to gay people. She would constantly refer to them as irresponsible and not "real" men in her posts that continued after she had that episode. Most of her fans and friends (including Robbie Rist) had dropped off of her facebook page and all that was left was a bunch of evangelical rednecks and Trump morons cheering on her idiocy. She eventually disabled her account.

Chris Knight has always been attractive.

Barry had a short-lived realty series on CMT where he moved to Branson, MO to star in his own musical revue. It was actually pretty addictive and he came across well.

[quote] Well that seems like a genius plan for making no money at all, because to the best of my knowledge, nobody remembers grumpy Robert Reed for his Hamlet.

Not long before he died, however, Robert Reed took the advice of his then-lawyer Dan Kossow (a well-known entertainment attorney who also represented Adam "Batman" West) and refused to sign a deal with Viacom/Paramount that would let the corporation use his '70s-era visage on Brady products. The rest of the cast had agreed, so Viacom decided it could carry on without Mr. Brady.

Robert Reed had no direct involvement in the raising of his own daughter. She actually severed ties and allowed her step-father to legally adopt her, terminating Robert Reed parental rights.

Despite that Robert Reed made his daughter his sole heir to his estate - for now she has no interest in allowing the image Robert Reed to be used in any and all Brady Bunch merchandise.

R57, Thanks. I honestly wouldn't have known. It's not like I've followed her. I don't mind being corrected.

R47, I think she's pretty great. I might buy one of her paintings (once I figure out the price).

[quote] Apparently, she traded sex for drugs... reading about her in that condition is one of those very rare times that it brought tears to my eyes.

LOL, Gramps at R37 just described 99% of Hollywood women.

The 2004 reunion is linked below. If you FF to 4:20, you see Eve and Maureen completely snub each other.

There’s resentment amongst the other kids, too, because Eve’s the one who got the big acting breaks.

R64 that was when Eve was no longer speaking to Maureen for the second time because during an interview Maureen was asked if her and Eve ever did anything sexual together and Maureen said yes, but Eve didn’t like that cause it’s not true. She forgave Maureen after an apology and Maureen claimed it was all a joke, so then Eve asked her to not do things like that again, but Maureen did and after that Eve cut ties from her.

R65 Eve looks so pretty there!!!

Eve is clearly posting in this thread.

On CNN Maureen was coy about whether she had a lesbian relationship with Eve, and said people would have to read her book to find out. Of course nothing like that was in the book. I can see why Eve was pissed but it's been years, time to let it go.

Dear Libby, I still hate these Bratty Brady cunts.

Maureen was following Barry Williams' book-selling method where he exaggerated a "date" with Florence Williams to get press and increase sales. Unfortunately for Maureen, Eve was not the good sport/attention whore Florence Henderson was.

^^Florence Henderson, obviously.

Why wasn’t Sam the Butcher there? He’s the only one those kids have LEFT!

Wasn't Barry Williams doing a show at the Yakov Smirnoff theater in Branson?

They couldn't have had the fake kids to celebrate the fake house?

“Peter” showed his ass on those VH1 reality shows he did with his ex wife. He has a nice body but he’s dull and has a cruel streak. She finally divorced his nasty (tight) ass.

Does he still work in tattoo removal?

Maureen and Ross Matthews met on “Celebrity Fit Club” and became good friends. She clearly adores the gays.

It’d be funny if Eve bought the house only to set it on fire and dance while it burned to the ground.

Is that Susan Olsen a lesbian?

The youngest two look the worst.

[quote]“Peter” showed his ass on those VH1 reality shows he did with his ex wife.

Link please!

Eve in 1993 with short dark hair. She looks adorable.

Jeez, Eve just barrels by Andy and the other guest -- not even a glance!

Has Susan Dey wished them well, or is she still giving attitude?

There were a number of "reunions" that happened and one or more of them would be missing. It's nice to see the original six together and smiling. I was surprised to see that Eve joined them -- she's usually the holdout.

“Showed his ass” is a saying that means “To unintentionally reveal one's true intentions or motives, sometimes resulting in negative consequence.”

Christopher Knight didn’t go pantsless on VH1.

[quote]R85 Has Susan Dey wished them well, or is she still giving attitude?

Susan Dey is a big bitch who doesn’t care about her own brother David Cassidy’s death....let alone a Brady reunion.

She is an unmitigated MONSTER.

Eve really grew into her looks during the last season of Brady Bunch, and was beautiful by the time she hit her twenties. This photo is from the early 80s...I always loved her hair.

Jenny McCarthy was grating in that video. I hope Maureen McCormick bit her pussy.

She had her moments but that pic makes her looks like one of Streep's daughters.

Eve has stated her boundaries:

R92 I love that interview! I remember watching it when it originally aired.

I followed Susan Olsen's Facebook around 2013/2014, she was already into far right wing stuff by that point.

But it is true that just like Lisa Kudrow was the only one on FRIENDS to actually have a deeper acting talent, Eve Plumb is the only one of those Brady kids who wasn’t just an 8x10 headshot that got lucky.

You can’t deny they had versatility!

Sherwood Schwartz has said more than once that the most talented actor among the children was Susan

That’s cuz he was fuckin’ her....

Eve has a lot of $$$ because her parents were among the few in Hollywood that didn’t financially screw over their children and invested her money very well.

Chris knight has been married 4 times his marriage to Adrienne lasted the longest.

Is it true Ann B. Davis gave the girls free Brazilians between scenes?

That really made me laugh...and now I feel terrible!

R95, Ann B. Davis agreed with you. She said in her Television Academy interview that Eve was the best and most intuitive of the six child actors.

Eve recently donated the door to the bedroom of her childhood home to the Valley Relics Museum in Van Nuys. It’s covered in stickers and is a neat time capsule of growing up in the 60s / 70s.

The show with Peter (Christopher Knight) was called My Fair Brady. He didn't do anything super terrible, but he didn't come off very well. Mike Lookinland seems like the nicest (of the boys) and most down to earth.

I actually like Eve Plumb's artwork. Reminds me of Wayne Thiebaud.

I'm impressed with Eve's skill as a painter, but less wowed by the subject matter. The restaurant tables, okay. That clear pitcher, sure, if you must. The six painting of peppers? Uh...

If she really wants to rake in the coin, she should be painting pork chops and apple sauce!

[italic] Pwork chops an’ appleshauce...

Barry Williams has looked 10-15 years older than his age for the last 20 years. At least he's stopped the "Just for Men" shoe polish...

Here he is from 2011, 57 years old, but has the jowls of a 67 year old.

Mom always said not to play ball in the house.

This might be an updated style for Cindy.

[quote]They were in syndication like crazy during the 90s. It’s now that you barely hear or see it.

MeTV shows "Brady Bunch" every Sunday for two hours from 12 to 2 (eastern time), so they're still around.

I think that painting is beautiful and I'd love to own it. She's very talented.

Enough about how wonderful Jan’s art is. I know you all don’t like me since I’m a hater, but I’m an artist too.

Susan Olsen COULD get a part playing a weathered biker chick in something (?)

Laughing out loud at much of this thread.

Eve's paintings are technically fine, but there's not any emotion in them or soul (even for still lifes).

But Eve was the best actor among the children. it is true that Sherwood Schwartz thought originally when he created the show that Susan Olsen was the big find (she was the first one he cast), but as the show went on the writers thought Eve Plumb was the best actor among the children and began to write shows especially for her--they thought especially she was superb at crying and feeling conflicted, which is why there are all those episodes where Jan becomes the poster child for teen angst that were later so parodied, such as "Will the Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?" (Jan gets the wig), "The Not So Rose Colored Glasses" (Jan has to wear prescription eyeglasses, which she thinks make her look "positive goofy!"), "The Not So Ugly Duckling" (Jan invents a fictional boyfriend named George Glass to seem like less of a loser), "Her Sister's Shadow" (Jan becomes jealous of Marcia's successes--the "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" episode).

It was Eve, and Eve alone amongst the Brady girls, who was chosen by NBC for the plum(b) role of Beth in LITTLE WOMEN.

And history was made once again.

The Brady Bunch threads are always great.

Is that Susan Dey or Karen Black?

Eve’s performance as Beth made Claire Danes’ interpretation seem that of a RANK AMATEUR!

They all look pretty cheap and haggard, look at their shoes...

R118 Yes, that’s Susan Dey as Jo, and on the left, Betty Broderick herself as Meg.

The Amy was never heard of again...

Eve Plumb was in a very dark revenge thriller a few years ago: “Blue Ruin”. It’s quite an experience to watch Jan B go bad.

[quote]Lance Bass WILL be involved...

LOL! Thank Gawd!

Eve Plumb was in a very dark revenge thriller a few years ago, it’s called “Blue Ruin”. It’s quite a site to watch Jan go bad.

Shit, Maureen had some GOOD work done. I remember 10 years ago she was resembling a melted statue.

Maureen looks good, Eve looks ok, Susan looks like death warmed over twice.

Susan looks like she's missing a lot of teeth.

Maureen clearly looks the best of the girls.

Eve’s artwork is great, I have no idea why it’s being dismissed here. Are you all masters of photorealism, or something?

Did any of them do any fun late 70s or 80s TV thriller movies that one might find on Amazon Prime?

Eve is by far the most talented. I remember her bit part in What's The Matter With Helen, she was outstanding.

I need to see that, R129! I think it’s out on blu ray already.

One of the greatest tv shows of all time!

You might look for Maureen in SKATETOWN, USA (1979) with Scott Baio.

[quote]tAt a roller disco competition, two rivals find themselves becoming good friends while competing for a prize of one thousand dollars in cash.

I do not know if it’s as good as Linda Blair’s ROLLER BOOGIE....

Little Women has attracted great actresses to play Jo: Katherine Hepburn, Saiorse Ronan.

And it has also attracted mediocre famous actresses to play Jo: June Allyson, Winona Ryder.

And then there is Susan Dey...

Nothing is as good as Roller Boogie.

Wow, is that Liz Phair on the left at R132?

[quote]R134 Nothing is as good as Roller Boogie.

Well, Linda Blair WAS an Academy Award nominee...and so got her choice of the top scripts.

Was roller skate disco really a thing? It seems like kind of an elaborate skill to have to master just to go out.

OMG, I was going to totally ignore this thread because fifty years of the Brady Bunch is fifty years too much. But then I came across this gem: "she (Olsen) got into a nasty exchange with some disc jockey, and used some very homophobic language. Yet, otherwise, she's been very supportive of gays."

How the fuck has she been "very supportive of the gays" when the ONLY thing you know about her is her homophobia. Like, "Whoopsie! The minute I get pissed I reach for my gallon bottle of homophobia, but otherwise, it just sits on the shelf, gathering dust. So crown me QUEEN OF THE GAYS ALREADY YOU FUCKING F*GS!"

Yes, I used an asterisk. Because even when talking about a homophobe, I don't want to use homophobic language.

I'm totally gay that way.

[quote]Great idea to have a Brady museum in that house!

Yea, I'm sure all the neighbors will be THRILLED to have a fucking museum in their residential neighborhood!

Leah Ayers, Geri Reischel and Jennifer Runyon are wondering where their invitations went.

There is also a fake Jan, a fake Cindy and a fake Marcia too.

Talent free drag voice warning at R139

[quote] Robert Reed had no direct involvement in the raising of his own daughter. She actually severed ties and allowed her step-father to legally adopt her, terminating Robert Reed parental rights.

"She" didn't allow anything. If her step-father legally adopted her it was because Robert Reed allowed it. He would have had to willingly sign away his parental rights. You can't just adopt someone else's child away from them without their consent unless a court makes the decision for them. Most men who do that willingly do it to get out of paying child support.

Chris Knight needs to ditch that cheesy facial hair. He divorced that trashy Adrianne Curry, the broad he met on that reality TV show they did.

He's worth more than the rest of them combined. He made it big in the computer industry after he quit acting. He's founded several different successful companies in his time.

But, but, WHERE IS TIGER???

The Jan-centric “angsty” episodes are so famous because of the anateurish, awful acting. Are Jan fans the same people who keep Big Bang Theory on the air?

R145 Robert Reed was served papers requesting parental rights severed, and he abides by the request. It was not his idea., it was hers.

R145 in addition, Reed was deeply hurt when he was served the papers, but he didn't want to stand in the way if that was what his daughter wanted.

[quote] Was Eve actually there or just CGI'd in? Notice she was the only one not interviewed.

She seems very uncomfortable being there.

That's because she's a bitch.

I think Eve is just over the Brady Bunch and is tired of all the nostalgia and people fawning over the show. I would feel the same way. It's like having to be forced to go to a reunion at an old job you had years ago. She's paid her dues and doesn't owe the Brady Bunch anything.

Man, Christopher Knight sure can marry them, but he can't hold them. According to his Wiki page, 'He married his fourth wife, Cara Kokenes, in November 2016."

Eve should be grateful for the Brady Bunch. If not for that no one would give a rats ass about her two bit paintings.

Cindy/Susan looks like she's no stranger to the pipe.

Form what I've heard Susan suffered a complete breakdown after she was fired from her radio program. She locked herself in her home for days and was drinking heavily. Here is the tirade that started it all...

R155 What kind of gift do you bring to a 4th wedding??

Reed may have been served the papers and he may have signed them, but no one made him sign them. Any father who would willingly give up parental rights to his own child is a pretty shitty father. Her step father becoming her legal father meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Her life would have been just as good with or without that stupid piece of paper Reed signed.

r158

She was so messed up she started dressing up as Shirley Temple and screaming "Mrs Howell, Mrs Howell."

Mike Lookinland makes concrete countertops now, why have Italian marble when you can have poured concrete.

If parental rights were terminated and she was adopted, his former daughter has no legal right to Reed's image for merchandising.

[quote]r147 Chris Knight....divorced that trashy Adrianne Curry, the broad he met on that reality TV show they did.

She was the most beautiful (and tall!) of all the ANTM winners. The show may have gotten better in production values after her Cycle 1, But she’s still the most legit looking of their final girls.

Curry was a crude rocker chick and that’s a little grating...but she also seemed sweet and sincere, and vulnerable.

You know nothing about Robert Reed except what you’ve seen on TV yet you feel comfortable labeling him a “shitty father”

You are deranged.

As she’s aged, Chris Knight’s ex has come to resemble Sela Ward.

What a cast for Skatetown, USA. In addition to Maureen and Baio you've got Ruth Buzzi, Flip Wilson, Ron Pallillo, Billy Barty and making his screen debut - Patrick Swayze as Ace Johnson. Surely this was an ABC Movie of the Week ripoff of Roller Boogie.

Now I'm obsessed with the idea of marketed "Nurse" memorabilia. As a child, how proudly I would have carried a "Nurse" lunchbox to elementary school.

Who wouldn’t want a tee shirt or shower curtain depicting Mike Brady’s Broadway show AVANTI ? ?

R169 Yes, that would have put my Welcome Back Kotter lunch box and sleeping bag to shame!

Do you think there’s a market for Mike’s BAREFOOT IN THE PARK memorabilia? He [italic]was[/italic] a replacement...

Was Nurses after The Brady Bunch?

[quote] Was Nurses after The Brady Bunch?

No, Rose. They just aged Reed up for no reason.

R172 Awwww the same actress played Jane Fonda's mother in the film version of BITP. She always kind of reminded me of Sam's Aunt Clara on Bewitched.

Bobby is the only one still in show business. I enjoy him on Chicago Fire. 🔥

Susan Olsen can play Park Overall’s older sister who just got out of prison.

With a guest appearance by Tonya Harding as Susan’s troubled runaway daughter cum home.

[quote] If parental rights were terminated and she was adopted, his former daughter has no legal right to Reed's image for merchandising.

Except that Robert Reed named his daughter sole heir to his estate, giving her the legal rights to his image. He could have cut her out of his will and given his image rights to someone else, but he chose to leave it all to his only daughter.

Since that time his daughter has refused all offers to license Robert Reed image (in relation to the Brady Bunch) anywhere.

Reed died in '92. His daughter could have made money of licensing in the mid-90s off the Brady Bunch revival with the movies and the nostalgia of people who saw it in first run in the their childhoods. Now the movies are 20 years old and the people who would have bought Brady trinkets are probably too old now to care.

[quote]R180 Since that time his daughter has refused all offers to license Robert Reed images (in relation to the Brady Bunch)

Maybe she harbors deep hatred for him, and doesn’t want to see his (gay)face everywhere

[quote{R179 Susan Olsen can play Park Overall’s older sister who just got out of prison. With a guest appearance by Tonya Harding as Susan’s troubled runaway daughter cum home.

CUM HOME can be about three generations of Arkansas women and their attempts to leave the life of truck stop hooking behind...while all sharing 1 trailer.

So.... no one has this supposed clip of Christopher Knight's ass? That man is delicious. I'd eat his ass for days.

I swear I saw Bobby in a straight porno years ago (probably early nineties). He was the pool boy and had a good sized dick.

Robert Reed was kind of a jerk on Family Affair, got all huffy when Buffy or Jody spilled something on him. I'm too lazy to go look for a clip of this right now.

Wasn’t Reed notoriously difficult and stubborn?

This covers Robert Reed's relationship with his daughter and her bitterness that he was more of a father to the Brady kids.

[quote]As a child, how proudly I would have carried a "Nurse" lunchbox to elementary school.

MARY!

Robert Reed and his daughters (both on and off screen)

[quote]R187 Wasn’t Reed notoriously difficult and stubborn?

He was a serious actor, a member of the Actors Studio in NYC. He disliked the unrealistic absurdity the Brady Bunch scripts often had in them, and challenged that element when it would creep in.

It actually gave the show a bit of normalcy.

R190, the one on the right is Florence's daughter.

Mike Lookinland was a crew member on Halloween 4. His wife played the dead waitress in the diner.

Wow....I didn’t realize Robert Reed was just 57 when he died.

The Susan Olsen fallout was a real surprise to me. AFAIK, she is the only Brady kid to publicly support same-sex marriage, only a few years earlier:

[italic]...I am eternally grateful for having a golden rule placed before me as a child. I had a gay father! I knew he was gay when I was nine years old and had the wisdom of a child. I knew it was OK and none of my business.. I knew with all certainty that this was a very good man. And so, any ideology that demonized such a good man would have to be evil itself.

Robert Reed, unwittingly, showed me the true nature of religion. And this is why I steer clear of it to this day. ...

What works is love.

What doesn’t work is judgement.

If two people love each other enough to want their union consecrated by a mythological being – they are undoubtedly insane, but LET THEM HAVE AT IT!!”[/italic]

Eve was a terrible actress in 1988's 'A Very Brady Christmas' as well as 1990's horrifying 'The Bradys.'

Stop the revisionism that Eve Plumb was some kind of major thespian.

Eve was better outside of the Bradys.

I thought Eve was a great cunt in A Very Brady Christmas.

I thought Eve was good in A Very Brady Christmas. It was Maureen and Mike that stood out as terrible.

My cousin worked on the Everwood crew with Mike Looklinand in Utah. She said he was very nice.

Reed only did TBB for the money. He would get into arguments with creator Sherwood Schwartz over practically nothing just to be a pain in the ass. Schwartz was gonna let him go but the series was cancelled anyway. Reed however was protective of the kids and TBB name. The reason why he appeared in all future reunions. Peculiar man.

In the late 90s, TvLand used to air the reunion movies a couple of times a year and they also aired the short lived Bradys series from 1990.

Reed hated Schwartz but loved the kids and Florence. Florence’s kids are gorgeous. Flo didn’t support chris knight and Adrienne getting married and that was a huge sticking point for chris as he considered Florence a second mother and valued her opinion. Chris barry and Susan showed up for his wedding but Florence did not. Maureen was close to Florence.

R180 is correct. Had reed died without a will and not legally name her his heir, his daughter would have no legal right to his estate as she would not be considered related to him by law because of the adoption/perential termination. Actress Anne Haney was reeds closest friend and I think he may have left some of his estate to her.

One of Susans best friends is former runaways lead singer Cherie Currie who has the same right leaning libertarian views as Susan.

I thought I ready somewhere that Bob had a partner, a black guy, for many years.

Did any of them pose for Playboy?

The 3 could pose together, if they need money.

A VERY BRADY BUSH

Well, this is entirely random, but I love it so much that I like to share it whenever possible.

Susan's full deplorable R203

Bob and Flo were fantastic casting choices. Believable as in-love spouses and believable as loving parents.

I would've rather had a "The Defenders" lunch box.

R209 Joyce Bullifant was originally cast as Carol Brady

Is this one of Eve's paintings?

Joyce Bulifant was, as she put it, “signed, sealed and delivered” to star as Mrs. Brady in a new TV show titled “The Brady Bunch.”

And just when she was getting ready for her close-up, ABC executives had another idea in mind.

“I had been out for two weeks with the wardrobe people to get the right clothes for the show,” “Friday night, I was trying on the costumes for the director, producer and [writer] Sherwood Schwartz. I was so excited, but they had a funny expression on their faces.”

The confused actress with the famous squeaky voice was informed that Florence Henderson had suddenly become available and the network wanted her for the role of the beloved matriarch.

“I just looked at them,” Bulifant recalled. “I had signed a seven-year contract! The little girls were cast to look like me. Sherwood was devastated because the show had a whole new meaning than what he was looking for.

"He said, ‘Any show I do from now on, you’re going to be in it!’ He put me in his next series, but it was a short-lived Saturday morning show.”

Still, Bulifant doesn’t have any hard feelings about the missed opportunity of a lifetime.

“It all turned out just fine!” she said. “I was very fond of Florence and she was a lovely lady. And the show was very successful… Everything turned out the way it’s supposed to.”

That’s a very classy reaction from Ms. Bulifant.

Reed LOVED doing that lousy Brady Bunch Variety Hour so that sort of shows what kind of taste he had. If TBB had continued, Schwartz was going to replace him with......wait for it.....John McMartin, fresh off Follies. Now that would have been hilarious.

Reed used to attend gay orgies in Laguna at someone's private residence

R214 Bob likes the variety show aspect of it to prove he could do something different. Of course it turned into a train wreck.

Whatever happened to that simian looking actor who played Marcia's husband. He used to do voice over for CBS promos.

R219 I looked at Jerry Houser's IMBD page and his last voice work credits were in 2006.

Yeah, it was always hard to buy that a stone cold fox like Marcia would wind up with a guy you'd marry because you lost a bet.

Loved the show in original run; you always felt each character was a piece of your own personality as a child. Maureen’s character was the Cool Older Sister that I guess every male gayling wished he’d had!

Eve blossomed into this Amazonian teen in the show’s last season, almost not resembling her tiny character in the previous years. In this clip, btw, it appears that Eve is blatantly demonstrating no desire to make eye contact or to interact with Maureen, who keeps seeming to cower far away from Eve behind other Brady “siblings.” lol

Thanks, r213

I found this interview where she discusses that.

Seth Rudetsky deconstructs Flo’s singing when she did the national tour of THE SOUND OF MUSIC (skip to 01:45 )

I’m trying to imagine Joyce Bulifant at home in Palm Springs with her fifth husband when Australian TV calls and says they want to do a ten minute interview with her to air in prime time.

Susan could be the third Indigo Girl in that photo at R113.

PLEASE. Joyce Bouffaint is bitter as hell she didn't get that part that is one of the most iconic in sitcom history.

Susan should move to the Florida and run for Office. She’s got the right attitude to make it in politics in America’s cesspool.

They must have thrown a lot of cash at Eve or she is finally mellowing.

[quote]I thought I ready somewhere that Bob had a partner, [bold]a black guy[/bold], for many years

Because, relevance. 🙄

R192, that daughter also played the candy-striper in 9 TO 5 that annoyed Lily Tomlin while she was trying to steal that dead body.

r212, is there a similar painting of the Brady boys? AFAF

Bulifant puts a good face on things, but I can't help but wonder if the rejection led to her 'acting out' throughout the 1970s of going into coat rooms of people's houses at various Hollywood soirees and pathologically pooping in the purses of the female guests.

Not only did she date a young Barry Williams but former NYC Mayor John Lindsay gave Florence Henderson crabs, she was a wild woman.

TRIVIA: Henderson’s best friend during her Broadway years was Barbara Cook, even though they were often up against each other for roles.

Such a clear, bell-like voice:

How does one get crabs and live with them long enough to actually hand them over to someone else? Wouldn't you start itching like immediately?

Excellent question R238. I'm sorry, I honestly had no idea I had genital lice.

R207 Thanks for posting, that was priceless. That little brat at the door of the Birthday party was one of the go-to extras in a bunch of stuff in the 70s. I couldn't stand her ugly face and voice.

You shut your whore mouth, R240

Did Florence leave any money to the Brady kids? ...she was quite wealthy.

That’s a good question.

She had 4 children, though, and who knows how many grandkids.

That Bulifant bitch got what she deserved

At least Joyce outlived her competition. She has the last laugh.

I'd say Flo had the last laugh- A better life and she jammed on out of here right before the orangutan took office.

Susan Olsen looks like the type of hag you'd find working as a truck stop cashier off the 66.

Someone tell these hasbeens that their fifteen minutes are up. They’re practically overdrawn.

Flo thought she had the last laugh until she stuck her hand in her clutch one evening to pull out the valet ticket and got a handful of Joyce Bulifant's feces!

I used to love the Bradys but have gotten really sick of them in recent years. Mainly from all their guest appearances which seem to center around their involvement in The Brady Bunch. I give Eve Plumb and Mike Lookinland credit for moving on and finding other means of work, but the rest of them are destined to go to their graves as Bradys. I wouldn't be surprised if Barry Williams requests burial in his Johnny Bravo outfit.

Exactly r252. Just move on already. Even Florence Henderson was annoying in that regard.

R252, R253, Hell, if someone's willing to pony up money to essentially show up for a job when you're out of the industry, who wouldn't take it?

R250 they get approached to do stuff like this, so there must be some interest.

I watched the season of SURREAL LIFE (early 2005) that featured Chris Knight and Adrienne Curry. I remember the producers initially wanted her to get it on with model Marcus Sheckenberg, but she ended up falling for Knight and couldn't stop talking about him in the confessionals. The season also had Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Go's. Mini-Me, the wrestler Chyna, and rapper Da Brat. This was the only season I enjoyed. Jane was a sweetheart, and Chris/Adrienne were cute together. The other three were bizarre in their own way, but added to the atmosphere.

Susan Olsen is a right wing nutjob. She isn't a friend of the gays.

[quote] I've read that Maureen gets multiplies of what any of the other kids get for appearances like this. She holds out for the money to the great annoyance of the others, most of whom really need it.

I don't know where you're getting this from, but I believe Barry Williams made a comment about how Maureen got paid a shit ton more for the reunions in the 80s and 90s because every network person she was dealing with had a crush on her when they were 14.

Sometimes I feel bad for Reed. It's sad to think that the fact that he spent his whole life hiding is what most people know about him nowadays.

Imagine what it's like to have someone marry you for the exact same reason, R258

The Partridge Family lived near a Taco Stand.

Nicolas Cage also married Lisa Marie because of his lifelong fascination with Elvis.

So did MJ, come to think of it.

I think I remember Mike Lookinland (Bobby) saying that Maureen McCormick (Marcia) was, in real life, sort of like the Marcia character (slightly irritating). I remember her on Celebrity Fit Club, a reality show involving two teams competing to lose, collectively, the most weight. It was hilarious in that they would all step onto a giant scale together. My point is that even MM has to earn a living.

Nowadays? We all knew it back when his hair went from straight to curly and his close went from normal to FABULOUS

[quote] and his close went from normal to FABULOUS

Sort of like I did!

[quote]Nowadays? We all knew it back when his hair went from straight to curly and his close went from normal to FABULOUS

I never liked super-permed Robert. I always thought he looked better with the straight hair.

And a lot of people didn't know he was gay. We didn't have the internet back then and no magazines or talk shows talked about him being gay.

Reed had the most beautiful eyes! Stunning.

[quote]Reed had the most beautiful eyes! Stunning.

He also had a banging bod for the 60s/70s.

He could also sit on a stiff cock like nobody’s business.

[quote]He could also sit on a stiff cock like nobody’s business.

And twice on Sunday for a black cock.

Did Reed ever have a black cock? Would have been even more controversial

[quote]Did Reed ever have a black cock?

Several people have said that they saw him in LA gay bars picking up black men. I don't know if that's true or just jealous talk, but I've heard it from more than one source.

He took ‘em like a champ on the set of Roots.

R274 I’ve heard he was very open minded in a sexual way and liked trying new things and very liberal.

Wouldn’t be shocked be liked black men, not that you need to be liberal to. I know Republican whites with black people.

Granted Republican doesn’t mean Conservative.

There's nothing creepier than interracial Conservative relationships. Every time I see an angry White Trumper on Facebook and he has a Black, Latin or Asian wife...RUN GIRL RUN!

[quote]And a lot of people didn't know he was gay.

The same people that though Paul Lynn, Jim Nabors and Rock Hudson were not gay and thought Raymond Navarro and Sal Mineo were killed by robbers.

What about cutiepie Danny Lockin (aka 'Barnaby' in HELLO, DOLLY!) ? Did the public know that a trick he'd picked up in a bar had tortured and stabbed him to death? Or was all that left out?

[quote] I know Republican whites with black people.

Tell me more ...
