Is Another Scripted 'Brady Bunch' Reunion Possible Or Has That Ship Sailed??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Could another scripted reunion movie happen or with the death of Robert Reed and the tensions between Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormick make it it impossible?

That ship has probably sailed, but it would be interesting to see some of the Brady kids as grandparents.

I would defininitely say that ship has sailed!!

It's been so long since the last one, and since then you've also had the death of Robert Reed. I have to say I'd be surprised if there were any more such reunions, but you never know. I think if it were a tribute to Reed most of the cast would return, but I can't see anything like an ongoing series ever again. Too much time has passed, and they've tried different things, none of which have really caught on.

I can't see Maureen and Eve ever appearing together. That could of course be overcome by having Geri Reichsl replace Eve or Leah Ayers replace Mo. The other sticking point would be the death of Robert Reed. Do they write a script in which Mike Brady has passed away? Do they hire another actor to play Mike? I think the most likely answer is that there won't be anymore scripted Brady reunions.

I think it would work if they did it like that. Have him pass away in his late
70s instead of 40s/50s when he really passed.

Keep it Brady, not how it is in real life.

It would be very tough to do another reunion. Ann B. Davis is very old now. You definitely need Alice there. She won't be as spunky as the old Alice we all remember. Anne's probably very slow now since she's in her mid to late
80s.

Would everyone return? They'd have to stick true to the way the family was in 1990. Probably have Carol tell what's happened since 1990 or have a scene where everyone talks about what has happened since 1990 when Mike was a politician and what's happened since then...weddings, possible divorces, more births, grandchildren going off to college and marrying or getting ready to marry. The ones who were on the reunions back then are around 28-30 by now. They are all old enough to marry. They are around the age the Brady kids (their parents) were during the reunions in the 90s.

As far as playing themselves, that ship has not sailed. But as far as going into character mode, just enjoy the memories.
