- When the Brady house went up for sale, the original siblings weren't interested in buying it - but they were interested in teaming up with HGTV.

This is one of THEIR BEST interviews compared to countless others during the decades. No attitudes... No resentments... taking something old into something new and interesting... making it current and relevant in 2019. Beautiful.
They all shared the house in common. Probably why all six actors agreed to the show
I totally agree!!
The re-creation of the theme song with the iconic boxes is epic!
Agreed. WE need this show even an updated one on TV
And once again, Barry Williams voice stands out.
I was 13 in 1969. It was a great year for outstanding music and television shows. The Brady Bunch was one of them. At 8:00 pm every Friday night on Channel 7 (ABC in New York), our family would sit around the first color TV we had purchased as a family. These were unforgettable memories. I wish I could live them again. What a wonderful time in my life.
For us boomers born in the late 50's and early 60's, The Brady Bunch was a part of the fabric of our lives. The 60's and the 70's were such special and beautiful times. Thanks HGTV and Rachel Ray for letting us 'trip with the Brady's' again!
With 8 million viewers, I hope the "Brady Kids" are well compensated this time.
Did you know that after the show ended and went into syndication in 1973, the Brady actors only received royalties for 10 months ? (Susan "Cindy" revealed it several years ago).
Yet the Network continued to cash in all this time.
WTF - so unfair!!!
People watch the Brady Bunch to see them, not the Network; hence they should be compensated accordingly.
Thank you Barry, Maureen, Christopher, Eve, Mike, Susan.....and, of course, Robert, Florence, and Ann for being part of our lives despite not being fairly paid.
Thank you so much!!!
Old news. Lousy contracts were the sign of the times. Shatner and the trek kids didnt get compensated fairly until they did the movies years later.
@@CaptainSpalding72 Old news that still affect them....and still unfair!
Not every Trek fan watched Star Trek to see Shatner but every Brady fan watch the Brady Bunch to see the actors.
That is why they must be paid!
After the show was cancelled they only got royalties for the first 10 reruns of each episode.
I'm glad they are poor.
They were probably happy to get those 10 months. The ratings the last year were in the tank, and they probably thought the show would disappear, never to be seen again. Somehow, it became an immediate hit in reruns, and that's why they created the Brady Bunch variety show (was horrible and only lasted nine episodes).
Those of us who grew up with that show wish we were part of that amazing family.😁💖👍
I ❤️ The Cast of “The Brady Bunch”. Thank you for the good times & of course The Happy Memories ❤️.
This whole thing is awesome. It’s a national treasure now. The Brady Bunch is Americana.
It's sad that Robert Reed, Florence Henderson and Ann B. Davis didn't live long enough to see this cool project happen. :-(
@Carol Howard At least the life he had was a good one for him. All of these actors will be remembered as TV icons.
@@roccosophie6498 People have said that he lived a semi-tortured life, being in the closet his whole life, then having to hide his HIV/AIDS status from the world (although his TV family knew) and act happy.
What’s sad is watching Rachel Ray turn into a balloon. I haven’t seen her in years and the Bradys brought me here.
@Carol Howard Died 27 years ago
Don't forget Allan Melvin aka Sam The Butcher. Alice's boyfriend.
There is something weirdly endearing about seeing them all together. They all look fabulous too
Nothing "weird."
Yes, nothing weird about it, it is great seeing them together. I hope they keep doing things in the future.
My personal story with Florence Henderson--When I used to live in Nashville, I was an HMUA who did some work for the old Nashville Network. Florence had a show called "Country Kitchen" and she commuted to Nashville from her Kentucky home. One afternoon, I was called in as an emergency to fill in for the regular HMUA to do the hair and makeup for the show. And, the guest was Davy Jones, which turned out to be one of the best episodes of Country Kitchen, as they relived the famous episode of the Brady Bunch.
As an aside, I found out something that day about Florence. She was a highly-skilled hypnotist, and my second career plan was to become a hypnotherapist. She actually gave me some pointers and recommendations. She was an incredibly down to Earth woman and as friendly as any celebrity I have ever worked with, but then my experiences over 30+ years in this business working on celebrities in both LA and Nashville, is that Nashville creates an atmosphere where people treat celebs like they are their neighbors, and out here, celebs are more standoffish until they earn your trust. Ah, I miss my hometown so much, and so many of my friends are fleeing Socal for Nashville. Maybe HGTV should do a show there since so much building is going on in my hometown.

Happy 50th Anniversary to the Brady Bunch.
All of them look great, but Eve Plumb (Jan) is absolutely stunning!
Check out Eve Plumb on the late 80s game show Remote Control. She is absolutely adorable.
She was always the prettiest. Also, I think the most intelligent, which is why she usually seems bored at these events. (If I had to sit and recount something I did 50 years ago, I would find it tedious, also). HGTV did a great interview with her in her Manhatten apartment. She is lively, fun, and eager to talk about her career as an artist. And no doubt glad the interviewer never once mentions THE BRADY BUNCH.
@@johnfd0210 you must be a publicist. She comes off as a cross between odd and a stick in the mud. I understand she's a nice person, but she comes off in these shows as absolutely Dreadful.
johnfd0210...I reacted differently than you. Eve Plumb was interviewed for a video series titled "At Home With The Bradys," yet the Brady Bunch wasn't mentioned one single time in the entire interview. It felt really odd. Clearly, Plumb had placed a gag order on the producers, forbidding them to mention the show as a condition of doing the interview, which only succeeded in making Plumb look snobbish and full of herself. Having said that, I do credit Eve for participating in the renovation project, even though her boredom is palpable. I'm sure they're paying her a boatload of dough for her appearances.
Yeah, that interview was soooo funny for the fact that the words The Brady Bunch weren't uttered. LOL!!! I'm sure TPTB were told in advance if you want the interview don't mention The Brady Bunch. That said, in all of the round table interviews with the cast for the HGTV show she seems okay with it. I suspect once is done everyone will have had their fill and will probably never do a full reunion in any form ever again. It's the 50th and it's special. I think Chris even said that in an earlier interview.
I am loving how they are recreating the house and being together in this way. Missing Florence Henderson, Robert Reed and Ann Davis, I know they are in Heaven watching over the project with huge smiles ❤
Marsha Marsha Marsha looks great... lol 😂
I was born in October 1969. Just a month after the Brady bunch first aired. I was watching it in the early 70s as a toddler as the seasons were still fresh on tv. It's funny I can still remember in 1973 watching them with my brothers in my bedroom. Such memories as i grew up with the Brady's. Their show is exactly my age. 52 years in September. Awesome.
Also I remember I used to be in to speed racer and kimba when it aired on channel 52. Japanese animation. Good times. 😁😎👌👍
I was born in 67, I have vague memories as a little kid. I recall the reruns better.
I met Barry Williams 2 years ago. Nice guy!
The Universe needed this to happen!
I sit here watching this in my Brady Bunch pajamas. (and I'm NOT kidding!) I love this show and I love that they've redone that house Brady style. They should give paid tours! I'd go!
Such a cool project. I watched the reruns growing up. Glad to see them all together again.
In Britain we have a famous soap and sci-fi which have become national institutions but neither have combined both exterior and interior designs into one location to create something that can be so real to fans. Instead, we have the facade of the buildings in the soap and the interior of the spaceship for the sci-fi show. Congratulations to all those dedicated to "The Brady Bunch" for their recreation. You have made the home very tangible!
you left out the 'foil family' and all the 'real' tax funded castles!!!!!
I love the Brady’s... I love watching the renovation with hgtv and them!!! So good!!
2:42 Eve still annoyed with Maureen and how much attention she recieves...hee hee, but glad that Eve is part of this reunion, it wouldn't be the same without her.
So funny! Maureen kept trying to take over the conversation like cutting off Susan at 3:38. I like Maureen, but she does want all the attention!
Life’s Too Short ❤️.
Marcia Marcia Marcia 😂
Carol Howard Agree!
Eve was quite angry with Maureen for years due to some things Maureen said about Eve in her book. Cant say i blame her..
I'm just loving this whole idea. The show is part of my childhood and it's like these great people are family. Also I'm so glad they're getting just rewards for the happiness they gave generations of young kids for many decades. Good clean entertainment. Nothing offense. We need that again today.
Man! I do wish I could walk through that house!
Good job finally a mention of parents Alice and toilet.
Maureen ...to use the Ralph Malph phrase....YOU STILL GOT IT...WOW
How does Barry Williams ("Greg") look so much like Robert Reed, his TV dad?
They are the same person.
He really does. But when you consider how people like Sherwood did their research into genealogy back then, it's no real surprise.
He even talks like him! Wow!!
I never thought about that until reading your comment - he really does. Amazing.
They always did. Lol.... 🤣🤣 such kind people. Still would've been friends with them
Jan was always my favorite!
Mine too, Jan and peter
Jan was never happy and always complaining. Perfect for today's Cancel Culture whiners.
Well, now I want pork chops and applesauce.
Mythra!Mythra! Mythra!
@@davidtillman7648 :)
It's fun to see the Brady kids all grown up, looking much older just like the rest of us who waited for Friday night to watch them on tv. I was 10-14 while the show was on.
Agreed. I was 8 - 12 during that time.
Love this! The Brady cast deserve to be pampered.
Got to see it in June. A quarter of a mile walk from my hotel. Marsha still beautiful.❤
Brady Bunch reboot!! Bring it!
Eve's reaction to Maureen taking over her her space at 2:42 is everything!!!
@fbueller I thought she was just trying to get out of the way when Maureen threw her arm up and out.
@@friendofdorothy9376 I agree. Normal reaction anyone would make. But everything has to be scandalous in some minds.
@@friendofdorothy9376 internet trolls have very limited minds
@@shyman99 No...she rolls her eyes at Maureen. It's obvious they don't get a long. She is still jealous.
@@tianly6177 - What didn't you understand when someone explained what you are in the comment prior to your comment? As if you have no self-awareness when being labeled, you still posted your comment. LOL
Marcia looks the same
Trina Trahan, the wife of a former HBO chief executive, just bought the house for 3.2 million dollars. She plans to use it for charity events.
Jan still looks good
Really?
It's amazing that next week will be 50 years since "The Brady Bunch" first aired on September 26, 1969 and they all still look young, aside from the gray hairs, of course!
My brother and I both saw that house when we were out in Los Angeles four years ago. It's located in North Hollywood.
You could TOTALLY sell me that Eve Plumb is Florence Henderson's daughter!
They did hang out alot. You start to resemble them. My brother was adopted he started to look like us.
Watching this in 2022 as I'm binge watching whole series on DVD .... for the hundredth time ❤️🥰
Now they should renovate the golden Girls house. Complete with all the sets inconsistencies.
I said that to a friend the other day
Marsha looks so...young♥️
Every time i see Jan, i had to do a double take knowing Mom Brady had passed away. They look so much alike!
Heartwarming!
Where the hell did they get ottoman from?! A brothel in Las Vegas?
I always pretended back in the day that my doll I played with was lil Cindy.....she was too cute!
I always pretended my blow up doll was Marcia.
@@floydfletcher4313 lmfao
Ha ha. Tiny bit of a Marcia Marcia Marcia moment at 2:38 when Maureen McCormick gets into Eve Plumb's space.
Wow! Chris Knight has a huge gut!
Susan Olsen looks like the oldest. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 They all aged dramatically 😮
You are giving such "kind" remarks. What do You look like? 😆
I read she and Mike were recovering alcoholics, that will age you. But to be fair, they are in their 60's.
@@deborahrowland4264 I'd say they've aged normally. For goodness sake, the show was FIFTY YEARS AGO.
That's positively groovy!!!!!
Happiness cannot be experienced, only remembered...
They all look great. Maureen looks amazingly the same! Hasn’t the house been privately bought now? That’s a shame if so.
this was cool. Is it me or do Susan Olsen & Mike Lookinloand look older than their older siblings from the show?
I love the Brady’s.
Six kids one shitter, poor Alice.
HGTV is awesome! They must be a multi billion empire.
Sorry
Jan is the Brady kid GOAT
Maureen McCormick 💖
All 3 boys are now older than Robert Reed was when he died
This month also marks the 50th anniversary of the debut of The Brady Bunch on ABC
Barry Williams still looks good.
awwww Barry is grey now
Props to HGTV
Omg love the intro
Maureen may be the oldest but she looks better than the other two girls. Same with Barry for the guys.
Chris looks good too.
Yeeeeaaaaa!!!! Aw! Great Times!
I just realized who Eve reminds me of. Anne Heche
The Brady kids did not receive but 1.00 they just asked that transportation and hotels would be paid for. Mo and Chris live in LA. They went home. Barry lives in Branson Mike lives in Utah. Susan lives on a animal rescue in Arizona Eve lives in New York.
It’s insane how Bobby looks the oldest
He didn't age well. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I heard Barry Williams say that the staircase replica was going on tour where do we get the information on that
Where's Joe Namith and groovy Davy Jones?
Jeez, they’re still alive and kicking! Cool!
Barry and maureen take up a lot of air lol.
there the oldest...so what?
goodbones love that show agree racheal , its on tuesdays hgtv for those who have not watch it yet great mother daughter show.
I have dish and dont have HGTV i wished that they could put it on the METV or GETTV i surely wanted 2 watch that.
Marsha..umm Maureen, still hot💯
I didn't care to see all those intruders in the Brady Squares
Marcia still has style, the rest, oy!
Mike Lookinland is the only Brady bro brave enough to go au natural on top.
Did the Brady kids kid paid to be a part of this house project? Because I find that eve plumb (jan) wouldn't do anything like this unless she's getting a check. She always said the sitcom was just a job to her.
I'm not sure how much they got paid, but I'm almost positive that they got paid to be part of the construction work.
Way cool
I watch The Brady Bunch every Sunday at 12 noon until 2 pm
Can the public see the house?
They look great, but I have to admit when I see them I think to myself... I must be getting OLD :)
Velveta Cheesy !!!
Love the Brady Bunch,
But not a fan of Rachael Ray...😒
Same...actually can’t stand RR.
Barry sounds the exact same
Who else thinks that the two youngest (Mike/Bobby & Susan/Cindy) now look the oldest?
@Paul Greening I think you need to look again.
@Paul Greening Of course, looks are to some degree subjective, but to me, Susan appears to have the skin of someone who has abused themselves with a drug habit, in which I would include tobacco use, over-tanning, etc. Eve and Maureen however, seem to have the appearance of women in their 50s and 60s who have made healthier choices, at least of late. I don't know their personal histories, although I seem to remember Maureen had a drug problem early on.
Looks aren't really what is important anyway. It was just an observation.
I agree. I do recall reading that Susan went through a rough patch in life...so probably shows.
@@teetakay I think they all did in different ways. Maureen Mccormick was a drug addict at one point.
I once had a dream of stars and Florence was there. I wonder why I dreamed her she’s the only one I remember from the dream.
What about the very Brady Xmas
Where is cousin Oliver? He was funny but came on when the show was winding down.
oh oh, I see SPINOFF from HGTV as a 3B's BRady BUNCH B+B
U guys didn't talk about alice
looks like Rachel spend too much time at Sam's Butcher Shop
newt0830 I wouldn’t say no to rach.
Anyone notice that the men’s hair is gray, and the women’s hair……..isn’t??
I think "one sister" is annoyed by another. Just like the show.
eve thinks maureen is too emotional. i don't think eve is particularly nostalgic.
Eve Plumb grew up to look like Julie Andrews.
Is it me or is Barry still sweet in moureen
Rachel looks like the Great Pumpkin, she must have eaten all the pork chops and apple sauce. 😬
Why dont they ever mention the Brady parents n housemaid. It was sad to see the house full of ppl but no mention of the parents. Maybe their wasnt a close knit relationship like ppl think.
Racheal did mention working with florence at the end of this clip , and the three of them were mentioned in other broadcasts. I think it is still too sad for them to bring them up so much, as florence's passing is still very recent.
You didn't even watch this video oh, did you? How could you have said that if you did?
