Back at a time of innocence when this was entertaining - I dreamed about being a Brady and that house!! Glad to have grown up in this era!! This pulled me back to my youth, simplicity.
Same old tired stupid and not true commend you see on EVERY VIDEO OF EVERY SHOW FROM THE 1950s until 2005. It’s silly inane pointless and NOT TRUE. Most tv Bach then and for all time IS stupid valid vacuous ugly and pointless. 🙄🤡🤮
There were other Brady shows after this. Like the Brady Brides and the 90's show called the Bradys. In those shows, the characters NEVER refer to the time they ran their own variety show. It's like EVERYONE wanted to forget about this show's existence!
@@Mister_Listener In the 7 months since I made this comment I have exchanged emails with a lady from Long Beach who was actually in this show as a dancer, she is 73 this year (2024) the show was broadcast 47 years ago making her 26 years old at the time... as they say TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE...🤪
I keep thinking of That 70s show 'who gave these idiots a whole hour?!?' 😂 Its so bad but I love The Brady Bunch so cant look away. And whoa, Greg's hot! And Cindy's hair is the bomb.
The coke was flowing sooo freely during these 70s writer meetings. Also, Robert Reed thought the Brady Bunch scripts were corny, yet agreed to be a part of THIS!!??? He must have really needed the money!!!
My parents took me to paramount for a taping of this when I was a child. They had a full plexiglass aqua ballet tank. I'm not sure what the statute of Limitations is to claim child abuse from my parents for making us watch this
Well of course, what pubescent young man didn't have pin ups of Ann B. Davis and Francis Bavier( Aunt Bea from Andy Griffith) lacquered on their walls and ceilings?
Another copy of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour has been deleted from the UA-cam app. Why? UA-cam will never say why they deleted the other copies of this episode which featured my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price, as one of the guest stars. Please tell me why by responding to my comment here.
I wonder if Professor Whitehead ever replaced Oliver with a new object of his affection ? I'm referring to the huge cave tiki, not the towheaded, bespectacled little cousin.
I get the whole "tacky/horrible/can't look away from it" aspect of this show, and I think in part it's a seventies thing. May I respectfully point out one very compelling reason to watch? Maureen McCormick. Enough said.
really? everybody know why Eva plumb didnt want to do this show! Plumb has stated in interviews that she was willing to do the variety show's original special episode, but could not commit to a five-year option for additional shows
@@bramlintrent1145 well when the producers through this was going to be the next Sonny and cher Variety show and by the late 70s and early 80s Variety shows with Celebrity name were dying!
My formative years were during the Brady era, however very seldom watched the variety hour. Always wondered where my weird nightmares originated.. Was trying to figure out why Jans character has very little storyline or close-up attention, then realized it is not Eve Plumb playing Jan, 🤔
Yes, it was a low point for 70s television, but there was an older audience for this kind of slop, which is why there were so many variety shows around at the time. You had Lawrence Welk, Donny and Marie, Sonny and Cher, and quite a few more. All aimed at a target audience of at least 70 years old. Grandpa and grandma would watch one of these trainwrecks, and then go to sleep. It was the highlight of an otherwise uneventful day. On the bright side, at least Robert Reed had fun with his delusion that he deserved to be on Broadway.
Worst idea ever, turn the Brady Bunch into a variety show 😂. I think Vincent Price was perfect for this because it's truly scary to try and Resurrect the Brady Bunch dancing and singing. Greg Brady singing all by myself, it's horrifying!!!
It's funny Robert Reed felt the "Brady Bunch" was beneath his serious stage acting background, but then he goes and agrees to this garbage. Anything for a paycheck I guess.
There couldn't have been much done to save this train wreck. I'd have asked Flo to do the variety show herself and invite Brady kids on as guest stars. You can even have Geri play her daughter on the new show, even do a Seinfeld thing, where she goes back to the Brady family as her "real life" family for some skits and has her "TV" family variety show with just Geri and maybe a couple other people that are more talented singers/dancers than the rest of the kids were. Marcia and Greg's singing was pretty dreadful, and you can sort of tell Maureen M. is really struggling around this time.
What was up with the network execs who OK'd these programs for airtime to begin with ? Those of you wondering why kids in the seventies were so messed up, one reason was this kind of TV schlock causing psychological damage and then later PTSD symptoms as adults.
I don't remember this show at growing up..?? And the costumes that they're wearing. I could not wear any of those outfits it looks gross. and the jokes that they were saying back then we're like sarcastic and lame..!
*This had to be the scariest thing Vincent Price ever did*
🤣🤣🤣
Good one!
Why Vincent, why ????
😂😂😂
The money was good, and Vincent was a ham. 😉
I have nothing but respect for Eve Plumb
She was busy
@@patfromamboy What do you mean?
@@LauRa-re9un she was willing to do a comeback episode-but not commit to 13 episodes. So she passed.
@@christophertomasello1227 Oh, thanks!
I'm with you. I'm certain she WANTED to be busy.
This crowd will clap for anything lol
Still mind blowing that they did this show!
Everything is so horrible. I love it.
This needs to be a pinned comment 👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂
The writers of Happy Days were clearly watching this program when they conceptualized the "Jump the Shark" episode.
Back at a time of innocence when this was entertaining - I dreamed about being a Brady and that house!!
Glad to have grown up in this era!! This pulled me back to my youth, simplicity.
Not sure what I like better, the variety show or all of your comments.
Why can't I look away? 😂
Because the cringe has cursed you
Originally telecast on March 4, 1977.
Thank you for that. I was still cooking and wouldn't make my debut till September!
It would be interesting to do research on what other disasters took place on that day
Still better than the new shows on TV today
I agree 👍.
The meth does wonders to the brain.

A delicious hunk of stinky, glorious 1970s TV cheese deserves to be seen in its correct aspect ratio instead of stretched out horizontally.
This is the original theatrical release. 😂
@@MondoMiami LOL
I wonder if anyone tried calling that number that Greg gave out? LOL 😂😂😂😂
Vincent Price was on the Brady Bunch in the 3-part Hawaii adventure.
Am I the only one who enjoyed this
No! I ❤ this!
I've got to admit........
Yes
I skipped the dancing and singing parts, only saw the sketch, which was good, at least intrigue. But singing parts are boring.
I actually love it.
So many things to say, so little time. I saw how Greg looked at his mom. And at the same time I loved this.
this has the same affect as taking a hallucinigen
This went on for a whole hour???
Incredibly, YES 🤣🤣
I’m surprised this show lasted as long as it did! I was an infant when this show aired so I was way too young to watch it.
How could you not have a smile on your face watching this? No worse than other 70s variety shows at the time.
Oh yes it is!!! This is not the Carol Burnett Show, the Julie Andrews Hour or Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour .
Wrong
I enjoyed the Brady Bunch. It’s scary that it’s been so long ago. Life is short.
Oh my god!
It's embarrassing to watch. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Peter is an excellent dancer.
I’m just glad this wasn’t in the same continuity as the original series and future specials.
What a DUMPSTER FIRE!!
It ain't a party without Rip Taylor! Cmon Alice let Rip have some of that frosting too!😂
And the ‘train wreck’ kept on rolling!!
There were other Brady shows after this. Like the Brady Brides and the 90's show called the Bradys. In those shows, the characters NEVER refer to the time they ran their own variety show.
It's like EVERYONE wanted to forget about this show's existence!
Yet the 90s Brady movies will bring it back up
Puff-N-Stuff's career never recovered after this.
This is no big deal for Vincent Price. He's appears in many horror shows😂
Omg this was so bad it was good. I was just a young kid then but I still enjoy the memories. Had no idea just how bad this show was. Haha
Yeah, even as a 12 year old kid I thought it was corny.
ALL those gorgeous dancing girls will be around 75 now!!!
Life can be cruel.......
They're dancing in the old folks home.
❤❤❤❤❤ So what's your point?, Ace is the very sexy number.
Please,❤ Don't make fun of that.,, You talk like a dumb a**

I look back now and i still remember why. ! I didn't watch this.
Rip Taylor, good Zeus!
He always popped up in all these goofy 70s variety shows! 😂
RIP RIP
Swimming pool? That funny side number was horrific 😂
Fake Jan was killing it! Top notch top notch singing and dancing in those 64 inch bell bottom pants. Now for the vomit bag. 😵
😂😂😂😂
On three. 1 2 3 BARF
Vincent Price was in the Hawaii episodes of The Brady Bunch.
Hey everyone. " The New Jan Brady"...( no wig this time).
I keep thinking of That 70s show 'who gave these idiots a whole hour?!?' 😂 Its so bad but I love The Brady Bunch so cant look away. And whoa, Greg's hot! And Cindy's hair is the bomb.
I never understood Susan Olsen’s hair in this era. Never saw anybody else wearing that style either! Kinda weird but glorious.
The coke was flowing sooo freely during these 70s writer meetings. Also, Robert Reed thought the Brady Bunch scripts were corny, yet agreed to be a part of THIS!!??? He must have really needed the money!!!
Apparently in her biography, Maureen McCormick said she was completely coked out the entire time they did these shows. You can tell, too.
Reed was there to see Greg in a skin-tight jumpsuit.
He said it was because he would get to sing and dance.
Flaming
I have no words....
Awful and Terrible jump to mind.
My parents took me to paramount for a taping of this when I was a child. They had a full plexiglass aqua ballet tank.
I'm not sure what the statute of

I dialed 321-1321 and my phone went up in flames.
I had a thing for Ann B Davis
Well of course, what pubescent young man didn't have pin ups of Ann B. Davis and Francis Bavier( Aunt Bea from Andy Griffith) lacquered on their walls and ceilings?
Greg moved out, he didn't move to Mars
Greg and Carole really need to establish some boundaries.

They probably needed that copy to show prisoners to scare them straight.
@@mackermaldrill2656 How could they do that when UA-cam deleted the other copy of this episode of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour from the app?
I don't know what best word would be for "beyond cringe", but this qualifies.
Ugh. I can't stand it when the image is stretched like this. Please present it in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.
It’s awful either way
That'll improve the content of the show
Hardest working person was at the applause/whistle console.
I thought they found all copies of this and destroyed them.
Florence Henderson was a babe! Yowsa! 👀
Vincent Price was a Brady groupie apparently since he also did the Hawaii vacation episodes. Sweet, but a little sad as well.
Oh, it was just fun for him likely.
Vincent was also a ham. 🙂
I wonder if Professor Whitehead ever replaced Oliver with a new object of his affection ? I'm referring to the huge cave tiki, not the towheaded, bespectacled little cousin.
No wonder Marcia was high as a kite during all these shows
That split screen with H.R. Pufnstuf and the swimmers is 🤯
The ALL BY MYSELF musical sequence must be seen to be believed. Oh my goodness gracious. 26:44 is really unbelievably cheesy.
Dance clowns dance
Hollywood has sometimes been descibed as a living machine.
This is what a machine having dry-heaves looks like.
All by myself
The glitz, the glamour, the costumes, the dancers, musicians....
You can put a milion dollar bill over a turd, it will still stink. Genious!
Same with "PINK LADY {& JEFF}" (also produced by the Kroffts). 😉
who is the announcer on this show
*ERNIE ANDERSON,* who was also the voice of ABC's endless promos durng that period (he also announced "THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW" for several seasons).
@@fromthesidelines thank you
Kill me. That DUET????!!!!! I remember being 10 and thinking this sux. The fact the Mom looked at Greg like that confirms all the stories!!😂😂
What do you mean? So did Robert Reed.
Rip and Robert would do lines backstage and go gay clubbing after filming
How did they persuade Mr. Reed to do this show? Blackmail?
Actually, believe it or not, he was the most enthusiastic about the show!
LMAO......
Broke
He could let his feathers out
Let me 🔥 flame
The deeply passive aggressive family disfunction is hilariously unsettling
Perfect, because the show was scary.
You can almost taste the coke
Where's Eve Plum?
She was busy filming a tv-movie.
Happily away from this set, hanging onto her dignity.
I get the whole "tacky/horrible/can't look away from it" aspect of this show, and I think in part it's a seventies thing. May I respectfully point out one very compelling reason to watch? Maureen McCormick. Enough said.
I really liked “ fake” Jan
Yes, very bouncy bouncy!🤪
Even the Simpsons couldn't do a variety show this bad - but at least they'd be doing it intentionally
Are we sure they did not confuse them with the Partridge Family?
Was there a reason that Eve was replaced with Geri on this show? Eve was one of the originals.
really? everybody know why Eva plumb didnt want to do this show!
Plumb has stated in interviews that she was willing to do the variety show's original special episode, but could not commit to a five-year option for additional shows
@@eddiejoewalt7746 After watching the first episode, I bet Eve Plumb realized 7 more would be the max for this ghoulish mess, lol.
@@bramlintrent1145 well when the producers through this was going to be the next Sonny and cher Variety show and by the late 70s and early 80s Variety shows with Celebrity name were dying!
Five years? 😆
Eve Plumb was in prison.
We're they all hard up for Money or what?

What happened to the real Jan

Makes sense. The variety show was the direct descendant of vaudeville.
Did Greg try to nail new Jan!?
It’s #Fakejan, not new Jan!!
do the BRADY`s not notice that ` not their real sister Jan..an imposter pretending to be Jan..ruins everything!
\
Thanks for pointing out a Simpson's joke.
Couldn't care less!
Worst idea ever, turn the Brady Bunch into a variety show 😂. I think Vincent Price was perfect for this because it's truly scary to try and Resurrect the Brady Bunch dancing and singing. Greg Brady singing all by myself, it's horrifying!!!
Not as horrifying as Peter Brady trying to dance. It's as if has he had no real interest in any of this. Oh that's right, he didn't.
It's funny Robert Reed felt the "Brady Bunch" was beneath his serious stage acting background, but then he goes and agrees to this garbage. Anything for a paycheck I guess.

Maureen McCormick was in the middle of her cocaine addiction while filming the variety specials.
Are you related to fake Jan?
@@curtgottler9961 It's possible we both have the same great-great grandfather, he had like ten kids, he moved us here from Bavaria.
Wow...this actually made it on tv? Was there a writers strike in the late 1970"s or something?
The writers for this went on to be speech writers for Joe Biden. 😂
Nice to see the audience clapping for random nonsense...
well, the canned applause track anyway...
And I thought the original show itself sucked.
If i have to see the bradys singing im gonna throw up!
Too bad the Brady family, dad., Do Not come out of the Closet back then., He live a double life.
What is the worst? The costumes? The hairstyles? The relentless smiling faces.
I will vote for smiling
Yes, yes, yes and yes
I lost 20 IQ pts watching this...
Ain't it FUN??? 😂
Only 20?

@@msr1116they had little faith in America's intelligence.
This show was horrible. It's why it was canceled after 8 episodes.

Fake Jan can sing
This is what drugs in the 70s did. Who's idea was the pool? And why??? Lol
Mark Spitz.
Trying to capture the Esther Williams era for 70s TV goes over like a soggy down pillow!
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!

And the costumes that they're wearing. I could not wear any of those outfits it looks gross.
and the jokes that they were saying back then we're like sarcastic and lame..!
if you cared about Vincent Price's legacy you would delete this 😂
4:56 omg the dialog is just sooo badly crafted, almost as bad as the musical numbers
I watched these for the butchering of songs 🔪🗡️
Does the ENTIRE family need to be in every song and stance number? So much for “variety.”
