Or is that just not possible considering the loss of Robert Reed?

I suppose they could, but it would be a downer because they'd have to acknowledge the death of Mike Brady.

I think we've seen the last of the Brady Bunch reunion movies.

Sherwood Schwartz was fully prepared to move forward without Robert Reed while preparing for a possible 6th season of the original series. So I don't think that would be a problem now. What would be a problem if you want all the original cast members to participate is the hard feelings between Maureen and Eve. Of course most Brady reunions have included at least one "fake" Brady daughter. So that could be a possible solution here.

At the October 2010 BigAppleCon with Williams, Knight, and Lookinland somebody asked them if there are any Brady Bunch projects in the works; either with them or a new cast.

Their answer was, "As far as we all know there is nothing in the making. We've all been asked and approached to do things before but for one reason or another nothing was able to happen."

In a word - no. The TODAY show people couldn't even get Maureen and Eve in the same room for a cast reunion!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

And you wouldn't have Ann B. Davis either--she is quite content to be living her retired life in San Antonio.

We have to face facts--the TV Land reunion "Still Brady..." was the last reunion.

That was the one hosted by Jenny McCarthy, right?

I wish they would have one final reunion movie tying up the plots that The Bradys left, plus they could acknowledge the passing of Mike Brady. What a great finale movie it would make.

I longed wished for that....you just know that Bobby was gonna walk again...that maybe Peter was gonna find the right girl...that Cindy was finally gonna be a Brady Bride herself....:lol:

But I'm afraid that ship has sailed.....

I'm not so sure about that considering that in the last true reunion, The Bradys Mike was going to be killed off in a helicopter crash. They could simply go with that and take it up 20 or so years after his death.

The spat between Eve and Maureen would be an issue, and Ann B Davis is questionable, but these issues could be worked out.

Of course, there is also the possibility of a remake with a different cast, or, as I have suggested, the Brady Grandkids could have one or more shows of their own with cameos or even regular appearances from one or more original cast members.

Maybe they could hire Ken Berry to play Mr Brady ("Kelly's Kids") since I heard that he was the original actor chosen for the role.

I personally would have no interest in watching anything like that, even as a one-time TV movie. I didn't care about the grand-kids when they appeared in the subsequent Brady spin offs, I certainly wouldn't care about them at this point. I kind of feel like the original cast of the BB are the REAL Bradys, and everyone else (grandkids and all that) were just actors hired to fill some roles.

There comes a time when reunion stuff becomes really, really forced. The youngest real Brady turns 50 this year (Susan Olsen). I don't mind when cast members get together on a talk show or something and talk about their days on the show. But the extended families are nothing more than a bunch of people we've never seen before. I only care about the original cast, period. I may be in the minority on that, but I really couldn't care less about any so-called Brady grandkids.

I don't think your alone in that at all Tweety. In fact I think one of the reasons The Brady's was such a short lived series is that people only wanted to see the original cast and not all the spouses and children etc. Of course it would have made the Brady family look very weird if none of the kids were married and they didn'yt have kids of their own. So of course they were included in the show. I think that's okay in a one time reunion like A Very Brady Christmas but it didn't fly in a series.

I don't think a reunion would work at this point.

They could do one last reunion movie centering around the Brady Brides 30th Anniversary, hence an excuse to get together. The can tie up all the loose ends The Bradys left and deal with the passing of Mike Brady.

It's been 21 years in Brady history. All the grandkids are close to 30 now who were 7 or 8 years old in 1990. They might be married/have kids of their own in the fictional world of the Bradys.

Mike has passed on, for sure. If they did bring them back they would not replace Reed.

Ann B. would possibly return, but she is so old now she's not the same Alice who was as bouncy as she was in the early 1990s. She looked around 70 then, but she was really younger.


And let's face it, times change. The Brady's were a good family in the 1970s and then the drama happened in the late 80s and early 90s. Who knows what could have happened to them had Scherwood brought them back after Reed's passing?


My guess, Greg and Nora would have stayed married. Kevin would be a doctor by now taking after his Dad.


Wally and Marcia, most likely would have divorced. They loved one another, but it was never the healthiest relationship, even how it began. My guess is after Mike passed, Wally would have shown his true colors, he knew Carol was too nice of a Mother In Law and Mike was too preachy, so he waited a few years after his death to call off their marriage. I would say if anyone divorced it would have been them. They went through a lot in their marriage.

Jan and Phillip were good together, they had their problems in the late 80s, and in the early 90s, they were working on having a baby. They worked that problem out though. I would guess they'd still be happily married today. Their adoptive daughter would not be living at home anymore, maybe she would have found her real family by now, if she was able to do so. I doubt they would have had anymore adopted kids. If they were able to have kids after the Bradys ended, I would guess they had one or two.

I really don't think Cindy married her boss. That relationship was so weird. He was so much older than her. I think it would have been over shortly after. I would guess she would have found someone more her own age and had a few kids into the late 1990s.


After Mike's passing, Carol would have had an empty house. Wally and Marcia would have gotten their own place, then after they divorced, sold their catering business. I don't think it would have lasted.


Carol would have stayed a widow, though she had many, many friends in town to invite over daily.


Peter, if he ever got married, it wouldn't have worked out. I doubt he'd have kids. By now, if he married, he would have divorced, at least once or twice, and by now he'd be on his 3rd marriage, or maybe he'd stay single.


Bobby would have walked again. He and his wife would have had kids. I think they would have stayed together.


Alice and Sam helped Carol after Mike's passing. Sam, I believe, would have passed in the mid 1990s, he was definitely older than Mike. Alice would have possibly moved back in with Carol in her old bedroom and they would have been housemates instead of Alice just being a live in housekeeper.


Mickey probably shapened up over the years and went to college. Jessica probably went as well into the early 2000s, as would have Jan's adoptive daughter.


Around now would be the time if there were any new Brady's born after 1991 that they would be finishing up college. I doubt they would have had anymore kids after the 1990s were over.


If they did do a reunion, that's probably a good outcome and what might have happened to the family. Think about it. No family is perfect. There must have been divorce by now if the Brady's did come back. I could see Marcia and Peter not keeping a long marriage with whoever they married. The two were both the most troubled when it came to relationships in the Christmas reunion and then in the Brady's.

I have to admit, I am not very interested in a Brady reunion. I wished they had left the show after the Christmas Movie. Hated they had Bobby in a wheelchair and Marcia a drunk....

What possessed anyone to think that people were just dying to watch the BB cast in a drama is beyond me.

I'd rather leave the Bradys in the past. An up-to-date Bradys would be too depressing. Sometimes the past is best kept there.

I think it's too late to revisit The Bradys, personally.

The Brady Bunch died with Robert Reed.

Yep.

I never understood why they thought this was a good thing. The Brady Bunch works as a fluffy comedy show but the Bradys? Not at all. I remember being excited that there was a new show about them but when I turned it on I got bored right away. I don't think I even watched 10 minutes before I flipped it off. This is from someone who watched all the other variations of the show (including the awful variety hour).

I'm quite aware that I'm a minority, but I really enjoyed "The Bradys!" I was about 13 when it aired, and had been a follower of ABC's TGIF block, but I ditched it for "The Bradys" in a heartbeat. When the show was cancelled, I started a petition at my middle school. Ah, the optimism of youth!

Now I'm 34, and have recently re-watched the series. As a kid I always preferred shows about adults, and expected to have a good ol' nostalgia fest. Instead, I found myself identifying with the grown Brady kids in a way I never did with the same characters as children. Watching the original series in syndication when I was a kid was fun, and I wanted a big family like theirs, but I never really identified with their little problems the way my adult self did with The Bradys.

I thought Leah Ayres brought a gravitas to the role of Marcia, and Bobby's accident gave him something interesting to do besides always being "the youngest brother." His relationship with Martha Quinn's character was quite sweet. I will say, though, even as a pre-teen, I could tell Eve Plumb really didn't want to be there. :)

I am not sure what formula a reunion would be able to take. They already did comedy, variety and drama! What's left, a reality show??? no thanks. We already had "My fair Brady" and look what happened to that marriage.
They waited too long. The cast is too old now and like someone else said, Who cares about the entended unknown families of the 6 original kids:crazy:
It's sad because I like to see reunions of old shows. I would like to see just the original cast (without spouses and kids) get together again. Oprah should have done this before she left the air. It's also too bad they all can't get along!!! Good Lord, they're in their 50's and still acting like kids. (Maureen & Eve:wave: ) It's not like they all have active acting careers and can't take a day/week off to reunite for a network special!
The Jenny McCarthy thing a few years ago was obnoxious. I can't stand her hosting anything! Sherwood Schwartz must be close to 100 years old by now and didn't he hint at something in the works at that TV Land reunion? Oh well, I guess we'll have to live with the reruns of the beloved show. I loved the variety show! much better than "Brady Brides" or "The Bradys". :lol: I found copies of the variety series from a seller on the internet and enjoyed it. Although they lived in a different house (didn't like that) and the premise didn't make sense. It was still entertaining watching them sing and dance. Those were always my favorite Brady Bunch episodes anyway, when they sang and danced.:cool:

I'm sure if Reed hadn't passed and was still alive today, there would have been at least 1 more movie in the 1990s. It would either be the kids getting everyone together to celebrate Carol and Mike's 25th or 30th (one or the other) in either 1994 or 1999. It would have worked had Reed never passed. "A Very Brady
25th/30th Anniversary" I think it would have been the end though after that. At least we'd see if Peter/Cindy got married, who they married, and if anyone else had more/any kids.

Around now would be the time if there were any new Brady's born after 1991 that they would be finishing up college. I doubt they would have had anymore kids after the 1990s were over.

Where did 1991 come from?

:confused:

The Gregorian calendar...?

The final project starring the original cast as the Bradys was an hour-long drama series that aired on CBS called . . . The Bradys. In 1990.

Had Wildchats said 1990 (meaning the year The Bradys aired) instead of 1991, I probably would have understood.

I was relating to the grand-kids. They would all be finished with college or in college by now, had anyone had more kids after 1990 when we last saw them. That's why I mentioned 1991. 1991-2011=20 years. 1991, 1992, 1993, most likely that would have been it for grandchildren.

It looked like Greg and Marcia weren't gonna have anymore kids in their families, and Jan might have had one or 2 as would have Bobby, but Peter and Cindy, most likely no kids. Cindy would have been a step mom had she married that older guy with kids.


I agree, The Brady's ruined everything. It was a good show, but horrible ending. It was taking the Christmas 1988 special and making it a weekly hour long series.


Mike was gonna die in a helicopter crash? Where did that come from? Someone mentioned that's how he was gonna die in The Bradys, or were they referring to the original show?
