I dislike DVD sets with the swinging gates inside. Usually, it's very difficult to get the DVDs to release.

Never had a problem myself. The only ones I hate are those where disks over lap.

Bachu · 04-15-2019, 12:59 PM

What would folk like to see on this set that probably won't be on this set?

I would like to see the two hour movie version of The Brady Girls Get Married.

I would also like to see deleted scenes from the movies; Susan played a post woman and Christopher played a coach and even appeared in one of the trailers I saw.

Clips of them on other shows as themeselves promoting the show would be nice.

Alternate scenes from the pilot.

The Brady episode of Day by Day.

And that is just for starters.

stevea · 04-15-2019, 01:29 PM

I don't care much about the subsequent shows, I'd just like to see a good mastering of all five seasons. Evidently that's not happening.

Screwy Wabbit · 04-23-2019, 08:19 PM

If they were going to remaster, they might as well do 4k scans of the films and release Blu-rays, but that's evidently not happening, either. I don't think Paramount likes that format. Have they released any of their classic shows on Blu-ray at all?

Wildchats · 05-16-2019, 06:41 AM

I read that they are putting all 5 seasons of the show, the Brady Kids, The Brady Brides, Very Brady Christmas, and The Bradys all in one DVD collection! Plus the 3 Brady Films The Brady Bunch Movie (Hopefully with deleted scenes restored), A Very Brady Sequel, and Brady Bunch In The White House along with Growing Up Brady.

This sort of sucks.

Originally, they released the seasons. Then they released all 5 with A Very Brady Christmas and The Bradys.

Now they are releasing every TV movie but in that big collection. I already own all of that!

They should release The Brady Girls Get Married/The Brady Brides as one collection and The Brady's as one collection after they do this.

Bachu · 05-17-2019, 05:17 PM

There is already a thread for this here.

Once this set sells they will probably release the others as standalone releases. Companies are there to make money, not please the fans in the fairest way possible. I just hope the episodes are better quality but i doubt it as I think we would have heard about that by now.

Bachu · 05-18-2019, 05:10 AM

Not long to go now until this gets a release. I am looking forward to it to get better copies than the off air ones I have for The Bradys and The Brady Brides. Still seemingly a great shame this is probably for the most part just a repackage with no better transfers of the episodes and as it is the 50th and they have not pulled out all the stops even with all the free promotion the renovation of the house isgiving them it is doubtful they ever will.

Bachu · 06-01-2019, 03:37 AM

Considering this is just a repackage with a couple of extras that I have as off air copies I am rather too excited about this release and cannot wait until it is released next week. Living in Great Britain I do not expect it to arrive until the week after and most of all I look forward to watching (hopefully) much better quality episodes than I have of Brides and Bradys. Unless someone beats me to it I'll also be looking for the missing grids on the three parters.

With this new release, I'd be curious to know if "The Honeymoon" episode has it's tag scene restored. The tag is cut/missing from this episode in the original season 1 release.

Bachu · 06-01-2019, 01:01 PM

I think a season 4 episode was also missing a TAG. have to say I have never seen either so I would love to know what happened in them. Did the pilot actually have one?

It would also be great to see those alternative scenes from the pilot.

TV Guy · 06-04-2019, 10:18 PM

I’m not convinced the pilot has a tag. It seems complete with the family marching up the stairs at the honeymoon hotel.

That said, the “squares” for parts 1 and 2 of both the Hawaii and Grand Canyon trips were intact for the first cycle of syndication back in the 70s. I remember the Grand Canyon episode had a particularly dramatic music cue as the squares filled in when Bobby and Cindy were lost (I believe they re-used that cue when Peter got fired from the bike shop). I don’t know why they’re not on the episodes now.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I seem to recall that The Honeymoon episode did indeed have a tag scene when it originally aired in 1969. It was 50 years ago so my memory may or may not be correct. The episode runs a little under 25 minutes on the DVD, this is a little short for a season 1 episode which indicates the possibility there originally was a tag scene.

This is very interesting. If these syndication films existed Paramount should have been able to restore the squares. But this would probably require some legwork. Or they might have actually had to locate the negatives to restore the squares. It's really strange they disappeared on both of the multi-part episodes.

These DVD issues are sure far from perfect. There are also problems with the third season of Leave It To Beaver. But no one saves "old" copies of shows--once the DVDs come out, they seem to be the gold standard.

stevea · 06-09-2019, 07:07 AM

In The Bradys 1st episode, Florence sings a familiar song at Bobby's wedding. I don't remember the title but I think it's a Streisand song. I'd be curious to know if CBS cuts the song on the DVDs.
