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

Ireneparalegal · 12-18-2006, 08:44 PM

I watched it the first time it aired.

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

julian bozo · 12-19-2006, 12:23 AM

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.

GARFIELDKOOL · 12-19-2006, 12:39 PM

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.

Tweety · 12-19-2006, 08:05 PM

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.

Waterston_Fan · 12-20-2006, 01:54 AM

I can't remember when I started watching it but I did see it maybe 17 years ago or something like that..

Has it been on does anyone know? I do have it on tape, hoping it will come on DVD...

when it was on TBS

Rich3 · 12-20-2006, 08:56 PM

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.

jehobden · 12-21-2006, 12:12 AM

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.

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?

snl 70s show fan · 12-21-2006, 11:45 PM

i dont remember all of the sponsors but at the very beiganing of the tape that i have there is a billborad ad for macdonalds i wish now i hadant cut all the comm. out when i was taping the show.

comedyfreak · 12-22-2006, 06:28 AM
