They're teasers to get ratings and people watching. Most of those clips in the beginning of different cast members implying something more scandalous, were actually very innocent events
It was only a moderate success when it was on ABC. Much like *Star Trek,* it was the syndicated reruns that built its legacy. TV syndication isn’t what it used to be because streaming shows are often too raunchy to meet FCC standards and barely any network shows now get the ratings that even a flop got back then. The likelihood that any modern-day network sitcom will have that kind of impact on popular culture again is unlikely. Look at how many shows won more Emmys and got higher ratings but are barely remembered today.
I always thought when Greg tripped over the tire pump and looked the wrong way when he heard the other conversation was the most realistic acting of the whole show.
@@Millie_Mor203 Me too! I don't see how the TV ratings were not higher during the Brady Bunch's last couple seasons. I would've rated the Brady Bunch TOPS!
Berry and knight have a podcast, THE REAL BRADY BROS, they have guests, they take question, and they go through every episode,.if you like the show this podcast is for you,
remember this was about the lives of the cast, not just 'what happened on the set'. Since Robert was 'in the closet', and Maureen later was an addict, those types of stories can make for lurid lead-ins.
They barely talked about Maureen’s drug addiction. That’s what makes it all the more ironic she didn’t want to come back to do *The Bradys* because she disliked the script. They made Marcia an alcoholic, so that would have forced her to relive those days, but in character. She stuck with the show through the variety show, the two reunion movies, and the NBC sitcom, but this is where she drew the line. It’s ironic. The variety show reimagined her as Dorothy at a car wash in Oz. Judy Garland never managed to beat addiction, but she did.
He was in *Barefoot in the Park* on Broadway, so it’s not as if he never did comedy before. I think his initial contract that he signed when he took the role he played on Mannix was before Lucille Ball sold Desilu to Paramount. Was he on that show from the beginning? Paramount also made the movie of that play, but replaced him with Robert Redford. After *The Brady Bunch* premiered, they made a TV series based on it with black actors. Best case scenario, when Desilu bought Paramount, he was probably hoping to get that.
I loved the Brandy Bunch growing up in the 70's. Someone said, it was made just for kids. I don't think it just influenced kids, because I have some family members that had houses and kids that lived very similar to the Brady Bunch. All my dad's brother and sister's lived like that. My mom's parents and her brother and sister's lived that way. My parent's were the only ones who didn't live that way. Of course!! 🙄 We were the poor ones and black sheep of the family. I'm still poor. I never got the chance to live in a beautiful house. Unfortunately, I married someone who didn't want the same things in life as I did. I thought if I worked hard and helped pay bills and bought groceries for our family...my husband would save money to buy us a house and we'd have a swimming pool in the backyard. Nope!! That didn't happen, because he's spent money on what he wanted. Things like tools or whatever he wanted. I did without. 34 years later it's worse than when we first got married. Oh well. 😏 When I found out the dad on the Brady Bunch was gay...that busted my bubble. They all had thier problems, but that TV show brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people, ( not just kids ).
It's a "success war", Class. The Brady Bunch earned all of their fame & fortune & all the Kings horses & all the King's men cannot break it nor change it, always of course, lol. 👍👍❤📀🔒🔐✌🎵🎧
Man! I have to say, Barry Williams gave one heck of a performance on the day he got high! I’m not condoning what he did, especially because it sounds like he learned his lesson. But man, his convincing performance is a testimony for his acting!
In the years before he died, Robert Reed taught a master class in acting/literature at UCLA. It was an extremely popular class because of him. But they just shoved that in at the end...
I hate that they expect Reed to lie about things to be an Actor, I hate that they think it's okay. I wouldn't want to say something that was an outright falsehood either. I don't blame him at all. He was dealing with so much.
Who said it was “ok”? They all expressed compassion for how he had to keep his personal life very private. But of course they understood. You have to remember it was a VERY different time. If he went public with being gay or was outed it would have ruined his career.
The Stonewall riots happened the same year at this show premiered. Oh, and I’m mostly sure it’s a coincidence, but it was also the same year Dick Sargent replaced Dick York on .*Bewitched.* They both died around the same time as Reed, but at least Sargent could come out of the closet before that point.
I have been watching the HGTV Brady Bunch Renovation of you have not seen it you should go watch it. I was touched by what HGTV has done for America thank you HGTV and of course the Brady Bunch family.
YALL HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BRADY BUNCH - SEPT 26, 2019. I am also releasing my "Happily Brady Ever After" inspired photoshoot vlog tonight at 6pm.
No its not really weird but okey I mean yes you do that to your own child mostly but she was just saying its not a good thing to do with him that's all but it's okey for u to think its weird or anybody else even through its not
This is from 1999. Maureen was not 43 in 2003. Geez either ppl lie for click bait, or just don't do their research. She was born in 1956. She's 62 now, in April, 2019.
that's creepy, Florence allowing Barry to take her out knowing how he felt about her-- she should have made him understand it was a no-go, not encourage him
I watched another documentary on this. Sadly he didn't get a chance, Robert passed days later and he didn't have a chance to mail it. He was a private person and didn't want visitors.
This documentary they have manipulated .. These people have said one thing when they were interviewed, and then the press has manipulated this documentary to make them say something other than what they said in the original interview .They make people say the opposite, than what they have said in the original interview.. To make people believe it when they watch this documentary.. I am a huge Brady Bunch fan..
Did he really had to go inside a gay bar and talk loudly about someone being gay while a few men pretending he isn't there. In a way it seems like the host is putting everybody on blast or something.
I was a 70's child and I will admit that I grew up watching the Brady Bunch..However,Barry Williams in my opinion over dramatizes his pot smoking, Brady mom dating stories to make himself sound more important..I was watching another interview, and he was going on about filming high and Christopher Knight was pretty much rolling his eyes..Lol! Oh well I still love the Brady Bunch and I am thankful that I experienced in real time and not just in re-runs..
I don’t think he’s trying to make himself seem “more important.” I think he’s just playing up what happened to be entertaining. These people are/were all in show business and they know the value of entertaining and giving the audience a good story. In this context it’s pretty harmless. Also from the viewer’s perspective everything is exaggerated and enhanced by the cheesy editing, music, and narration style by ET.
I had no idea that Ann B. Davis was a comedian. Though she was the funny one on the show. What happened with Robert Reed during the end of the show was so sad. Really sad what happened to him.
It has been said that they made more money at reunion shows than they did the whole five-year season. That’s why they are creating these ‘scandals’ to make money.
I love the voiceover, trying to make it sound dramatic! 😆 and the talking heads MCing this report, trying to emphasize minor discrepancies for effect! 😂. Real bottom feeders at ET.
based on the same type of concerns from Gilligan and Brady cast members Sherwood must have been greedy and stubborn .never heard an actor say that bur it seems
Also, he was only 13 or 14 years old at the time, so he was basically a child barely into adolescence, while she was in her 30s. Very innocent and friendly outing for both.
What problem did Susan Olsen's parents have? Audio cut out at that point before coming back after 30 seconds Audio also cut out when Christopher Knight was talking about Eve Plumb on the QEII cruise
Karina -O because she spoke about it publicly after she joined some Christian church that manages to brainwash few folks to turn them straight. apparently she lived with a Christian couple so they may be the link of church.
When i read that Robert Reed took all six "kids" to London on the QE 2, obviously all the older actors were paired up in the State Rooms, who did Michael Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) stay with? I mean at the time I'm sure Susan and Michael didn't really understand about Robert Reed's life style. It's just my opinion.
E.T. is so sleazy. The scandalous music in the open/tease. Leave it to them to make every detail sound horrible. And sending Steines to that gay bar. Anything for ratings. And why would Susan Olsen even say that at all about Bob cutting himself (33:43)???
No, it was in the 2000s when gay was not a taboo subject anymore. As some who was actually on staff at ET, I can assure you that this intentional sleazefest was orchestrated under the then-Executive Producer’s command. She came from “Hard Copy” originally and loved making everything a shocking scandal.
The thing about "Bob" cutting himself... I think Susan's comment was taken out of context from some other subject. When you look at the tone of this "documentary," it's quite likely. It was just that one, short sentence; I think it was taken from one context and put into the HIV/Bob context. I mean, he didn't even HAVE the disease back when "The Brady Bunch" was in production!
Being gay is not dark. They really did a number on all of them. So gratuitous. Smoking pot hasn't killed anyone. Sex is not a big deal. Life is life deal with it. Robert Reed could have been more kinder in some aspects.
30:00 They told me that Bob was in a gay bar I visited in Chicago. I refused to believe it. The place was a dive. But back then it was hard to be gay. It was looked down on.
I love the Brady's!! Nobody's perfect. But hopefully we all learn from our mistakes. It was a great show and I will always love them!!
ET makes the whole show look and sound like this huge, dark exposee 😂
They're teasers to get ratings and people watching. Most of those clips in the beginning of different cast members implying something more scandalous, were actually very innocent events
Very gratuitous of ET, indeed.
seedy television tactics lol
Yeah theyre being extra...
Your right . They make everybody seem worse than they really are
Hard to believe it was only 5 seasons.
It was only a moderate success when it was on ABC. Much like *Star Trek,* it was the syndicated reruns that built its legacy. TV syndication isn’t what it used to be because streaming shows are often too raunchy to meet FCC standards and barely any network shows now get the ratings that even a flop got back then.

Look at how many shows won more Emmys and got higher ratings but are barely remembered today.
I saw every episode and loved it for years. Watched all the reruns, too. RIP Robert Reed.
I just obnoxiously rolled my eyes at ET trying to make a 17 year old smoking pot in the 1970's look scandalous
Right? I think we should all band together and have current media outlets shut down and redesigned with actual Humans doing the reporting. lol
I always thought when Greg tripped over the tire pump and looked the wrong way when he heard the other conversation was the most realistic acting of the whole show.
It isn’t as if he actually got caught in the moment.
@@animalyze7120 Agree, they're just trying to sensationalize and make it sound like a big scandal.
Yeah that's b s
It's always "Time to Change" everytime we reconnect with the true stories, from our lesson-learning and wit keeping family. Stay safe everyone!
I love The Brady Bunch!!! Great show💖
I can remember watching the Bradys. It was a different time then.

Me too!
@@Millie_Mor203 Me too! I don't see how the TV ratings were not higher during the Brady Bunch's last couple seasons. I would've rated the Brady Bunch TOPS!
Love how they take quotes out of context or edited a certain way to try to make this look sleazy. ET, you should be ashamed.
My favorite show of the 70's. Thanks for posting.
It’s strange seeing the Brady kids around the same age I am now. I remember seeing this ET show back when I was in my teens. Time sure flies.
E.T. was once a respectable show, when I saw this, I saw that they were jyst trying to sensationalize everything like the Enquirer, or Star.
I know right, just problems that everyone has..
My favorite show when i was a kid!!!!! My favorite episode was grand c. Vacation!!!!
Loved seeing Florence reading the book The Other in a clip, quiet a great spooky film from the 70s.
Mike Brady 💔
He was the perfect TV dad
Berry and knight have a podcast, THE REAL BRADY BROS, they have guests, they take question, and they go through every episode,.if you like the show this podcast is for you,
It seems the brothers get along with each other better than the sisters do in real life.
I gotta go check that out now. Thanks for the suggestion.
Absolutely Nothing scandalous happened on the set. Things were so G rated on that set. ET needs to stop it. LOL!
Right? Heck by comparison todays shows would be X rated back then lol
remember this was about the lives of the cast, not just 'what happened on the set'. Since Robert was 'in the closet', and Maureen later was an addict, those types of stories can make for lurid lead-ins.
Time for Susan to show her Brady cVnt!! 😘
They barely talked about Maureen’s drug addiction. That’s what makes it all the more ironic she didn’t want to come back to do *The Bradys* because she disliked the script. They made Marcia an alcoholic, so that would have forced her to relive those days, but in character. She stuck with the show through the variety show, the two reunion movies, and the NBC sitcom, but this is where she drew the line.
It’s ironic. The variety show reimagined her as Dorothy at a car wash in Oz. Judy Garland never managed to beat addiction, but she did.
'THE DARK SIDE OF MR. BRADY!!!!" OOOHHHHHHH, he thought the scripts and writing were amateur! Such a dark scandal!!!
He was in *Barefoot in the Park* on Broadway, so it’s not as if he never did comedy before. I think his initial contract that he signed when he took the role he played on Mannix was before Lucille Ball sold Desilu to Paramount. Was he on that show from the beginning?
Paramount also made the movie of that play, but replaced him with Robert Redford. After *The Brady Bunch* premiered, they made a TV series based on it with black actors. Best case scenario, when Desilu bought Paramount, he was probably hoping to get that.

I could write a book about the inaccuracies here...

Nell Carter and Kelsey Grammer must have taken a few pointers from him.
So sad about Bob he showed love to kids. But could be not revealed so he kept everyone at arms length.
In the years before he died, Robert Reed taught a master class in acting/literature at UCLA. It was an extremely popular class because of him. But they just shoved that in at the end...
Whoa. I just watched the intro. This sounds insane already
EDIT: nevermind. Same stuff I've heard from other sources 😒
I still watch The Brady Bunch to this day
In 1989 I saw Robert Reed at a gay bar in the afternoon. The boulevard bar.
I loved the Brady bunch
What kid didnt want to run away and live wi t h the Brady bunch. I did.
That zoom in at 11:12 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OK, Zoomer!
I m glad I got to watch this E.T. segment when it originally air because this one has some static and audio problems.
ET is just sad and pathetic here. Everything was taken out of context, and the dark music makes it worse. However, a great video to discover!
ET has always been trash!
Robert Reed acted in Galalctica 1980 as Dr. Mortinson was great in the role
Jan Brady(Eva Plumb) ,I had such a teen crush on her.
So much 4 a perfect family.
I remember Ann Haney as Alberta Meecham on "Mama's Family."
Anne Haney was on "Mama's Family" as the uptight and snooty reverend Meecham's wife. In real life she seemed to be pretty cool.
Mrs. Doubtfire too.
And the episode of *The Golden Girls* where Dorothy has foot surgery.
I hate that they expect Reed to lie about things to be an Actor, I hate that they think it's okay. I wouldn't want to say something that was an outright falsehood either. I don't blame him at all. He was dealing with so much.

Why be concerned how he got it or from who....It is a personal thing...sometimes journalist can be overly insensitive
Being high in the 70s must've been crazy

When Susan Olsen says "If Robert were to bleed, don't kiss his wound", that's so freaking weird. Nobody would kiss anyone's wound. That's weird.
No its not really weird but okey I mean yes you do that to your own child mostly but she was just saying its not a good thing to do with him that's all but it's okey for u to think its weird or anybody else even through its not

Well I'm a chick but I always thought Jan was the coolest.
I always loved Eve Plumb and hated Maureen NcCormick...Marcia...Marcia...Marcia
The Bradys were on Day By Day in 89 . Only Greg, Jan & Cindy Brady weren’t on the show
Ironically the kid who played Ross Harper/Chuck Brady in the Day By Day show played Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel.
This was his audition for the movie. So technically, Greg was in the show, just not the original.
Did Chris give or read the letter to Bob before he passed??😭😭
I watched another documentary on this. Sadly he didn't get a chance, Robert passed days later and he didn't have a chance to mail it. He was a private person and didn't want visitors.
Florence Henderson:

Barry said in one interview he kissed Florence one the cheek and in this one he said lips?????

He actually does.
Tall and super handsome. Bob hosted Wheel Of Fortune briefly also.

36:39 pretty sickening even with hippaa laws in place.
What year did Barry and Florence go out on a date?
Barry and knight has a pod cast together it's called, THE REAL BRADY BROS, it's not bad.
based on the same type of concerns from Gilligan and Brady cast members
Sherwood must have been greedy and stubborn .never heard an actor say that bur it seems
Why did the producer feel that the TV family needed a housekeeper ? who has a housekeeper ?
It sounds like Mike might’ve had aspberger’s syndrome. My brother and son have it and a lot of Mike’s behavior sounds ver similar.
He was also raised Mormon I read. That could have influenced him
Mike who? Now I know Susan Olsen son Michael has it, and I know it is so bad, that she had to put him in a caregiver home.
Wasn’t Florence Henderson married during that time in the early 70s?! So How did Barry Williams take her on a date????
Also, he was only 13 or 14 years old at the time, so he was basically a child barely into adolescence, while she was in her 30s. Very innocent and friendly outing for both.
$4400 a week in 1970 how much is that today?
Regina Liberti He was 16 and she was in her 30s it was nothing but innocence lol
Aids is not like it was in the 1980s where it was a huge stigma and lots of hate.
Well it was a new virus and very scary! They didn’t know what they know more recently
Jann Carl, class of 1978, and I, class of 1980, went to Moline High school together! Moline, Illinois.
Rockridge Class of '80.
They're really shitting all over Robert Reed in this. It's very distasteful. I highly doubt he'd want to be remembered in this way.
Susan Olsen knew Robert Reed's secret at 9? I didn't even know about the gay lifestyle when I was 9, and I'm 3 years younger than her.
I can’t imagine Robert Reed was gay.
I know. He looked like a ladies man. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Yes because a straight acting gay man is unheard of 🙄…. Not all gay men are screaming queens!
ET... Extra Trash Tonight?
All these "scandals" seem like such a nothing burger these days.
What problem did Susan Olsen's parents have? Audio cut out at that point before coming back after 30 seconds
Audio also cut out when Christopher Knight was talking about Eve Plumb on the QEII cruise

1100 dollars A WEEK IN THE EARLY 70’s ??? And they were complaining ? Wtf ?

@@solidstatevintage7247 the Brady bunch actors were spoiled. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

And you know this how?
Karina -O
because she spoke about it publicly after she joined some Christian church that manages to brainwash few folks to turn them straight.

It seems like there is only speculation to go on when it comes to Alice. But she definitely gave off a gay vibe 🌈✌🏻💜
When i read that Robert Reed took all six "kids" to London on the QE 2, obviously all the older actors were paired up in the State Rooms, who did Michael Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) stay with? I mean at the time I'm sure Susan and Michael didn't really understand about Robert Reed's life style. It's just my opinion.
What ?
Get a life! Yet another twit that likes to speculate and make crap up.
