A Very Brady Talk Show...Susan Olsen and TV Siblings Planning A Talk Show! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-24-2009, 11:06 PM

We have Al Roker to thank for this one. After Brady Bunch kid Susan Olsen guested on Al’s satellite radio show and he suggested it would be fun to see the Bradys gossiping over brunch, the youngest one in curls ended up organizing exactly that with former TV sibs Barry Williams, Chris Knight, Mike Lookinland and Maureen McCormick. The mimosas must have been flowing big time, because the fivesome (minus anti-Brady Eve Plumb) cooked up a pitch for their own View—like talk show which they are now shopping to producers.

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s a brilliant idea with our different points of view, but it would be a very expensive show to do with five hosts,” suspects Susan, 48. “Maureen’s idea is to call (the talker) The Brady Brunch, but I prefer it to be a late night show.” Uh-oh, dissention already!

In honor of the 40th anniversary on The Brady Bunch’s Sept. 26, 1969 debut, Susan is out with a new coffee table book, Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, which reveals that ‘fake Jan’ Geri Reischl (Eve’s replacement on that 1977 clunker) gave “a happy ending” to a producer. Yikes!

Guess with all those previous Brady tell-all tomes, ya gotta take whatever scandalous scraps are left. Cousin Oliver – watch out; they’ll be exposing you next!

TV Land's Brady Bunch marathon continues through Saturday Sept. 26.

Hey, I'd watch it!! Put Geri in to make it 6 - she seems to appreciate being a Brady a lot more than Eve.

The Brady Bunch, the show that just won't die! Hey maybe they can use the talk show format to help patch things up between Maureen and Eve.

Yeah, but I doubt Eve will take the bait. What DID make Eve so bitter, anyway? The rest of the Brady kids seem so nice.

Yeah Eve probably wouldn't appear. I think Eve is bitter because Maureen's character had a lot of boyfriends and all Jan had was the imaginary "George Glass" !

Eve got offended by what Maureen wrote in her book about the two of them having a lesbian affair. I think Maureen was kidding, but Eve took exception to it.

No, Eve was bitter about the show WAY before that.

Hmmm, maybe the Variety show left a bad taste in her mouth?

Maureen mentioned a kiss on . . .gulp . . . a talk show years ago.

That's probably when Eve got offended.

A Brady talk show with fake Jan Jeri would be a hoot. Imgaine if they did it in character

Jude The Obscure · 09-26-2009, 05:58 PM

There is nothing in Maureen's book to suggest anything happened between Eve and herself. Yes, her and Barry almost got it on a few times. Maureen also confesses to having had two abortions, which really SHOCKED me.

The situation between her dad and her brother Kevin is very disturbing and sad.

I think a talk show is a very lively idea...as long it is a lighthearted pop kitschy affair. Sorry, Susan, but the idea of late night conjures more "adult" subject matter and I think we have had enough of that with the Brady porn spoof!

Yeah, I think it would be fun if it was pop-culture, family-friendly fare. They could have other former child stars as guests, etc. That would be awesome!

Smartboy · 09-26-2009, 10:47 PM

One of my favorite child stars is Lauri Hendler who played Julie from "Gimme a Break!". She, like Eve Plumb played a teenager who wore glasses and suffered from middle-sister syndrome. I think that she would be an excelent guest on the show!

I concur. Laurie would make an excellent guest on this show!
