I watched the original airing. I was a Brady freak who watched anything related to the show. It turned out to be pretty good.

I watched it when it originally aired and that's how I became a fan of the show.

I saw it later in reruns. I have always loved the show. I was only 8 in 1988.
So if I did see it then I don't remember it. I was 12 when I remember seeing it.

yeah, I watched it when it aired back in 1988. I was 14, and I remember going to school the next day and people were talking about it. I understood it had some decent ratings and was CBS most watched movie that year.

Yes, I watched the original airing in 1988.

It was the first original "Brady" programming aired in several years at that time (I think that the "Brady Brides/Brady Girls Get Married" aired in the very early 80s). There was quite a bit of hype for the Christmas TV Movie, and it did get very good ratings.

And Jennifer Runyon had to be the hottest fake Brady ever :)

But yeah, that was a good show, we have it on tape and watch it not every year, but most years.

One thing I've noticed about the movie recently is that everyone is wearing a gold watch. I'm kind of a watch freak and I notice things like that. I've never seen that in a movie. Someone made that decision, for what reason I have no idea.

I watched and taped it on the night of its original airing, and I could probably locate the tape again if I looked hard enough. I'd just bought my first VCR the day after that Thanksgiving, so this would've been one of the first shows I ever taped on that VCR.

I watched it the first time it aired.

I did, too. I noticed quite a lot of Brady Bxoes at the end.(the famous logo).due to the newer characters.

It'd be interesting to find out who the original sponsors of the movie were. Could it be an example of product placement, I wonder?

I seen it when it was originally aired I also taped the special. I have all the Brady series except for The Brady's, which I didn't care for very much.

I too saw it when it first aired in 1988. I was 9 and had been watching the Brady reruns for some time. It was the first time I'd ever seen them grown up, so I thought that was cool. I've seen it several times every Christmas on various channels since. :)

Johnny be good!

I saw it the first time I rented it from Blockbuster Video. And, I loved it ever since.
