Which episode of the brady bunch would have been great if made into a 2 hour movie.

Mr. Drucker · 05-09-2013, 10:52 AM

I think the obvious choice here would be the Hawaiian one.Vincent Price made that one seem a bit more like a family movie rather than tv show.

It's very difficult to strtch a 30 minute TV episode into a two hour movie so the obvious choices here are the stories that had multiple episode arcs. That would be the Grand Canyon vacation and the Hawaiin vacation. The other possibility in my mind is the trip to the amusement park in Cincinatti.

Well they kind of did make a movie out of the Hawaii one. It was called "A Very Brady Sequel"

Mr. Drucker · 05-10-2013, 11:24 AM

Oh yeah,I forgot about that one.Just saw it not too long ago.But yeah,pretty much only "Hawaii","Grand Canyon" and "Amusement Park" could have legitimately warranted motion picture treatment.You sure as hell can't go on for TOO long about Marcia's broken nose or George Glass....

It's easy to make a TV show episode into a full 2 hour movie if they have the brains to make a great storyplot, the episode where the brady bunch kids does that singing contest could have made a good episode.

I'm sure the people at family friendly Disney could have done something.Probably would have done half decent at the box office as well.Why not?The "Brady 6" had a decently successful singing tour.

Well maybe if you combined the plots from several of the episodes in which the Brady Kids sang (Greg writes a song and wants to record, The Kids sing on a TV talent show to raise money for their parents anniversary gift, Johhny Bravo) you could make it into a movie.

Episode Bobby's Hero could have been made into a movie have it like a fantasy action pact scene western it could be where bobby peter and greg go around saving the day.

"Cincinatti Kids" might be a good choice for a Brady Bunch episode-turned-movie! Other honorable mentions would be, of course, The Grand Canyon and Hawaii three-part specials, both episodes where Alice leaves ("Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Goodbye Alice, Hello"), and possible "A-Camping We Will Go".

Yeah it's still possible for another good brady bunch movie in the year 2013 only if they can find people who look like the brady's from the 1960's lol
