What if Robert Reed Hadn't Died???? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

How many more Brady reunions do you think they would have made?

I know he died like a year after "The brady's was cancelled", yet I guess those were like little reunion specials, especially the ones with Bobby and the wheelchair and Mike running for city councilman. (((I dont think Marcia's Alchohol Problem or the one where the own that restaruant were planned to be part of them))
Since the first 2 were real 2 part specials, and the last 2 were just plain add-ons to form it into a series, since they did a new part every week, and added those 2 dumb episodes just to wrap it up. Maybe I think they were going to do more, yet never were renewed.

I think that there would have been at least 5 more brady bunch reunion specials from 1991 up until now if Robert Reed never had AIDS and died.

I guess there would have been one were Cindy married that boss of her's like in 1994ish.

I guess there would have been one where Peter would have finally gotten back with Vallerie and married her too when the two run into each other after 7 years apart in 1997ish.

I guess there would have been a Millenium brady reunion in 00' where all the grown up brady's and their kids (now all their kids are going off to college, except for Cindy's and Peter's and Bobby;s who are still in grade/early High school).

I think there would only be like 3 more possibilities for the BB reunions. I dont think they could keep it going that long. I think 3 would have been enough if Robert Reed had lived.

Giving Closure to Cindy and Peter, and then closing the book on the Brady's, with the New Year's 2000 milenium Reunion, in which Greg, Marcia and Jan get sad thatr their kids are all going off to college. I guess Mike would get sick in the reunion and get near death, and then he would be fine in the end.

Those are some good ideas. I think the Brady specials would have continued if Reed had survived.

One thing I don't understand and never heard any explanation of it: It's no secret Reed hated taking part in "The Brady Bunch." So, why did Reed continue to do these Brady reuinon shows? I was thinking he must have REALLY needed the work, but I dunno.

I think that while Reed hated the scripts, he genuinely enjoyed the people he worked with, and that was enough the get him to sign on (I'm sure the money helped, too).

I don't think we would have seen any "Brady" specials for awhile after "The Bradys" in 1990, though. That was enough of a fiasco to kill the reunions (at least for awhile, the same way "The Brady Brides" did in 1981).

I think "The Brady's" was the biggest mistake ever made! Bobby in a wheelchair, Marcia an alcoholic, Peter a "playboy" (well, that's believeable, I guess" )...it was just so daaaaamn depressing. Whoever's idea it was to turn it into a drama must have had their head up their @$$.

I wish Robert Reed was still on...I had this dream about him the other night. He was on "Password" and they were all talking about how much he looked like Burt Reynolds. Strange dream!

Now what I'd like to know is why there are these new posters out of the Brady Bunch and they put Alice in Mike's spot and put the BB log where Alice is supposed to go. That is stupid! Just because the guy died doesn't mean they had to do that...or was it Schwartz who did that as a way of getting back at Reed? Whatever the reason, it's like changing history....really stupid.

Carolyn Reed, Robert's daughter, has refused to give permission for her father's image to be used on the newly-licensed items, because she wasn't happy with the money she was offered. So, Carol Brady is a single mom on the merchandise. For more on the dispute: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,43805,00.html

" The Bradys" killed a good franchise. That series was horrible.
