Nope, they couldn’t fit an audience in the studio because of the pool taking up so much space so it’s all canned laughter/applause - at least no one had to sit there and pretend to be impressed/amused by this lunacy
The tilted camera angles and weird staircases are a bit much. I feel like I'm watching them walk through an M C Escher painting. The fact that none of them fell on their faces while moving around this set was quite an accomplishment.
This is the best thing on television in the history of television. OMG...so good. It's better than what's on TV today.....yeah!! that is some of the comments I see people saying about this fiasco called the Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
There was no live audience either. I'm going to bet the band was probably recorded off site somewhere else and played back as well. Same with the announcer.
Perhaps all of the cast should have had a fake actor portraying them as it's essentially a fake show.. Made to look like it's played before a live audience with a live band and a live announcer. None of which existed.
I'm so happy I saw this video clip. I wish the Brady Bunch would continue on TV w/ original members. Didn't they look so lovely? What a great number and dig those groovy threads! I'm still holding out for another reunion and more episodes,at least they can do the same ones. Perhaps Donny and Marie will make an appearance and Davy Jones will sing and they can do another Snow White and the 7 Bradys. I hope Jan wears her glasses and Greg stays away from that bad hair tonic. What about Mom's vase?
Marsha/Greg...Fake Jan/Peter...and Cindy/Bobby always paired up together seems a bit incestual to me. Ironically, fake Jan was the best part of this disaster.
This travesty of a "tribute" was just crying out for James Cagney to rush in with his tommy gun, and blast them all to smitherines, all the while doing that move where he runs up about 3 feet onto the wall. Dandy indeed. QUESTION: Where was the BLUE?
The devil makes you watch this in helll. In the lowest depths of helll.. If anyone can watch this without their draw dropping you are unique. This is all of their proudest work, especially Robert Reed. It plays continiously at his gravesite.
Wow, so horrific. Even the swimmer raised above the pool just lets go and drops into the pool feet first. No rotation, no dive, just terrible boring swimming and dancing to nightmarish arrangements of the corniest music ever written….. but I can’t look away 😂
I wasn't a fan of The Lawrence Welk Show either. However, I would say that they actually had talent and ran for around 30 years as opposed to eight episodes for this train wreck.
This is truly terrible. And I absolutely love it!😂😂😂
I love it, too.😅
When Im having a bad day, I would sit, smoke my weed and watch this funny crap!!🤣🤣🤣
Watching the Brady bunch sing off-key would make anyone smile. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Many of them probably smoked theirs between takes
Why have I watched this 4 times in a row? Why.
Hahaha... Peter doesn't know which way is up at 1:27 !
Oh for the love of God ... This should come with a warning label - "Warning - please bear in mind that once seen, it cannot be unseen"
nor heard
Then why did you continue to watch?
@@moemcgovern7345 was. Dumb how..did. you. Like. The. Brady..Bunch.varity.show..i..liked. it
Whenever one gets a life prison sentence, this should be playing in their cell over and over again on infinite loop.
"Yankee Doodle keep it up" is good advice for you Dandee's.
Irony: Robert Reed wears the least gayest costume.
You would have thought he could dance a little better since he was...um....
@Chauntel Bland Poor guy looks miserable
I
they are all equally gay.
It’s like a fever dream after hitting Taco Bell on the way home from a night of drinking.
Man that's gotta be rough..... thanks for the laugh!
Ha
Enough ham for a diner.
Spontaneous, heartfelt applause every 10 seconds without any prompting from the producers. I wonder if there was a studio audience at all?
If there were, they were dumfounded to silence from the train wreck they just watched.
As real as 'Fake' Jan. But, we forgive and love just the same.
just a fat teamster scratching his ass.

This wins the Corny Award!
" A weapon from a more civilized age"
Just when you think it can't get any worse here come the synchronized swimmers..
01:24 Peter out of sync with everyone else hilarious !!!
There are many mistakes throughout this short- lived series.
The tilted camera angles and weird staircases are a bit much. I feel like I'm watching them walk through an M C Escher painting. The fact that none of them fell on their faces while moving around this set was quite an accomplishment.
Man. They’re really into those full body outfits!
This is what inspires nightmares.
This is the best thing on television in the history of television. OMG...so good. It's better than what's on TV today.....yeah!! that is some of the comments I see people saying about this fiasco called the Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
God Bless America!
"Hell yeah! This is a ratings bonanza! We're gonna make a boat load of money off of this!"....said no one EVER.
I LOVE THE BRADY BUNCH HOUR. I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHER SAY AND THINK ABOUT IT ...I LOVE THE BRADY BUNCH ... P.S. THEY DO HAVE TALENT..!!!!!!!.O.K/..
Bring back the Brady Hour!
The parents are both gone.
Many, many, many pot brownies were consumed in the creation of this...thing.
No, it was a War On Drugs group of Republicans
This is a very talented Family. I love you America..
Study the Geneva Conventions, and you'll find this under the definition of torture.
No wonder Derek sang this song on full house. He’d fit right in!
the chick playing Jan prob loved this..
James Cagney is rolling over in his grave. But, I'm laughing my ass off :)
George M. Cohan too, poor bastards
This made me embarrassed to be an American
i love this.
That water ballet was way over the top!
I agree.
Fantastic!
My dad was born on July 3rd.
The fake applause was dubbed in when they go into thee disco rhythm, 0:35 . Groovy!
There was no live audience either. I'm going to bet the band was probably recorded off site somewhere else and played back as well. Same with the announcer.
This yes is indeed very Patriotic!
beyond hellatious.
This might've been the least bad number they ever did. LOL!
Yank my Doodle it's a Dandy
Yank my Doodle it's a joy
I think they need to have a marathon of the BBVH at least once a year to remind people what an excellent TV show it was.
This is so bad, it's comedy gold!
Going to share on facebook.
Some of there songs are good (most). But I LOVE there show!
This and The Captain Tennile variety show basically served to plug other ABC shows through their guests.
The guys who played the Brady boys must have got some shit from their peers when they were doing this!
Thanks to Quaaludes, none of that mattered.
Oh my gosh I feel sorry for them! What a torture! I had to stop watching.
FUN!!!!!!!
I wonder if Peter was boning fake Jan?
Why are those strange women jumping in the pool clutching strips of toilet paper ? What do they have to do with the Bradys?? Bizarre
1:26 ah shit here we go again
How much LSD was available on set?
I hate it when people put toilet paper in the pool.
Time to go to Taco Bell.......
This version owes a lot to Paul Jabara's recording from that time.
The entertainment bar was low back then, eh?
They probably had to have a real bar on set. I mean how else could you get yourself to do this?
I love ❤️ than all
amazing what you'll do as long as someone's paying you
This bad but I can't stop watching
Yes, that is a Fake Jan. Eve Plumb skipped the variety show. :)
Not A Fake Jan... it's THE Fake Jan.
Smart woman. 😖
Can’t say that I blame her. However, this Jan was rather cute!
Perhaps all of the cast should have had a fake actor portraying them as it's essentially a fake show.. Made to look like it's played before a live audience with a live band and a live announcer. None of which existed.
Think how much Robert Reed hated this.
He signed up for it tho $$$
I've read that the variety show he actually liked he was just no good in singing and dancing....
I'm so happy I saw this video clip. I wish the Brady Bunch would continue on TV w/ original members. Didn't they look so lovely? What a great number and dig those groovy threads!

Are you serious?
@@jackaude2614 Dude you replied to a comment that someone made 9 years ago.
most of them are either dead or in nursing homes
umm does anyone know when this was made? cause cindy doesnt have those braids anymore.
Kevin Gibbons January 1977
I thought Led Zeppelin was good! I was blown away with Brady’s jam with fake Jan.
Brady Lives Matter
I gotta Yankee......(pause)........
This song number went on 3 minutes and 35 seconds too long.
This was like their concept album. I never heard a version of Yankee Doodle that was so epic. The Sargent Peppers of TV veriety shows.
So the song was about Yankee Doodle's ED problems?
Why did I decide to watch this.
it's so bad it's good? No?
I'll bet more people have watched it on UA-cam than never watched it on network television.
So many corny songs, yet I keep watching.
If Eve Plum obited out I can't figure out why Robert Reed would not have done the same thing
It's called money.
Maureen McCormick said he had taken voice and dance classes but knew he was bad at both. But they asked him anyway and he thought it would be a hoot.
@@stephenr3910and she was taking Coke lessons when this was going on
@PinkThursdayy So true. (And can anyone really blame Robert Reed for NOT wanting to do this show?)
Great entertainment! It doesn't all have to be Lady Gaga...
OMG. Where are Cindy and Eve? I thought this was THE show to watch when growing up. I wanted to be Marcia.
Cindy is there 1:15
Marsha/Greg...Fake Jan/Peter...and Cindy/Bobby always paired up together seems a bit incestual to me. Ironically, fake Jan was the best part of this disaster.
@Imagineer50th hahahahaha
The canned applause with no audience makes it worse.
They had to use canned applause because they couldn't find brave people to watch the Bradys sing and dance in person. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Whare is Marcia and Greg
They're on the top row.
0:53 Rap !
😅😅😅😅
Just why?
Why do they start clapping at 0:37 lol theyre not even doing anything significant to warrant applause
The clapping is FAKE! LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is HORRID.
I don’t know if anybody knows that Robert reed isn’t his real name
John Robert reitz
are the girls wearing pants or a dress? it alternates throughout the song.
all pantsuits; no changes
70s flares. Couldn't tell the difference.
This travesty of a "tribute" was just crying out for James Cagney to rush in with his tommy gun, and blast them all to smitherines, all the while doing that move where he runs up about 3 feet onto the wall. Dandy indeed.
QUESTION: Where was the BLUE?
Just .... WHY?
how you know a network was desperate for ANYTHING... GOD. loved marica and the REAL jan,but this show...
there were only 3 networks on at the time
Catch a clip of The Honeybees singing in Gilligan’s Island. Even Mrs. Howell sounds better than this bunch!
Sherwood Schwartz who created the Brady bunch also created Gilligan's island. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
They disco- fied a classic song that James Cagney sang and danced to 🙄
They disco-fied anything that wasn't nailed down in the 70s.
@@stephenr3910 f*** yeah they sure did
@@lindaeasley5606Your comment was so hilarious 😂.
utterly ridiculous
Fake Jan alert!! Wow this is terrible, was everybody on drugs back then?
the drugs didn't help if you accidently watched this back in '70's
You probably had to be, to be involved in a show like this
such complete crap/ I didn't even watch it and I was a bb fan back in the day

The Brady Bunch cast did this for laughs.😅
This is worse than Lawrence Welk
I wasn't a fan of The Lawrence Welk Show either. However, I would say that they actually had talent and ran for around 30 years as opposed to eight episodes for this train wreck.
Fake Jan
"...... , a Yankee Doodle Do or (pause) Die !....". Trump and The Bradys will MAGA ??
This the worst
every single thing here is so poorly edited and faked. they actually thought we wouldn't notice all the bs. The applause track is the worst.
ladies and gentleman ..... the worst show ever made
As bad as this was, I still think the honor of the worst show ever made still goes to the Star Wars Holiday Special
@@kennethsouthard6042 they might tie for number one. Ahhh the 70s.
