I've seen this news, I'm mostly interested in the original series, not so interested in the movies and spinoffs. I have all 5 seasons of The Brady Bunch on DVD, the individual season sets that Paramount released some years ago. I'll probably stay with those unless this new set corrects the minor edits that a few episodes have. On the Paramount DVD's, "The Honeymoon" episode is missing the tag scene, and a few season 4 episodes have small, minor edits.

The set is missing The Brady Bunch Variety Hour

1960'sTVfan · 03-22-2019, 04:35 PM

Music clearance issues might have prevented the variety hour series from being included in this new DVD collection. It's also possible that CBS/Paramount doesn't own the rights to that series.

I noticed that too which is why they are trying to promote all that other stuff lol

Excited to see the rare shows like The Brady Brides and The Bradys finally coming on DVD! I’m buying it just for that reason! I don’t care that it doesn’t contain the variety show, it would have been nice, but the show was just crappy camp.

I would have also loved to see Pop Up Brady but I guess you can’t win them all.

Well atleast the Variety Hour is on youtube

I’m mostly excited about The Brady Brides. I vaguely remember watching it on TV Land (I think) years ago.

tlc38tlc38 · 03-25-2019, 11:56 AM

I wonder if The Brady Brides will get a separate release.

stevea · 03-25-2019, 01:17 PM

I also wish somebody would get the Pop-up Brady episodes that were done many years ago. I'd like to see those again.

One other mystery on the DVD sets is the tic-tac-toe grid with the cast, that is missing before the tag scene on the multi-part vacation episodes.

Bachu · 03-28-2019, 06:07 AM

Can anyone find/post any links for this set? All I can find is the tvshowsondvd FB blurb and the Target link.

It is a shame that for the 50th that they did not release the show on blu ray. Recently I have been watching season 4 of Rhoda on dvd and the oicture quality looks stunning, like HD but in SD. The Brady Bunch dvds look poor in comparrison. This show really needs the love and attention lavished upon like The Lucy Show got on dvd.

Sadly I doubt the 3 part episodes will have their grids intact and I doubt we will get the alternative scenes from the pilot. I doubt we will get remastered picture either. I bet this is another slap the episodes on a disk and add the other shows too.

I am sure they will feature the 10 episode version of the Brady Brides which starts with the 2 hour movie split into 4 parts. It would be great to have the TV movie version as well.

I wonder if we will get the hour long versions of The Bradys or the 2 hour movie version show in Europe? The movie versions all featured the same opening song but I believe the hour long versions featured 3 different versions.

I apologise for being all negative about this release but from the little I know, it sounds like a cheap cash in.

Will I be buying it, OF COURSE! I have off air copies of The Brady Brides and The Bradys but it will be great to have at least broadcast copy versions.

It would be great if they could include the Day by Day Brady episode. And the Free Spirit one with Robert and Florence and the Out of this Worl one with Florence.

This forum has some interesting information.

https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...lu-ray.360889/

Suggestions include, could the original negatives be lost hence the dvds we got were cobbled to together from a variety of sources which is why some scenes had poor picture quality. If they could at least remaster the episodes by going back to the original negatives then even in SD we should get picture quality hopefully as good as the fourth season of Rhoda that I am watching. I do fear this will be a release with no restoration.

stevea · 03-29-2019, 09:46 AM

Post 32 on HTF is the most interesting, although the whole thread is a good read.

I agree, we will probably see a recycle of what's already been done. The only thing I can hope for is that they might have found some of the missing elements.

Considering how popular the show is, how cheap this set is and the cheap option was that they picked when they produced the original dvds, sadly, I doubt it. Even something like the attention lavished on The Lucy Show dvds would have been nice. I would even settle for a bare bones release with episodes struck from the original negatives so they at least looked as good as some other shows where this has been done. I mean, THIS IS THE BRADY BUNCH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE! Has a show ever had so many spin offs???

If they cannot pull the stops out for the 50th anniversary, then I doubt they ever would.
