The ironly. Robert Reed would storm off the set of the Brady Bunch because he thought the show was so dumb. But he liked doing these shows. Now that is funny
I actually Googled it. He wanted to sing and dance. He said he was trained for it. Maybe not too well but he was trained. He was originally a dramatic actor and only did the BB because he didn't think it would last.
@@lorildiamond4987 Sherwood Schwartz who created the Brady bunch, said that he could only watch 30 minutes of this before he turned off his TV set . From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 thanks Stacey, , good to know. I actually have seen Maureen McCormack singing. She wasn't bad and so pretty. I watched the Sonnyv& Cher show growing up, they managed to pull it off w/o all that cheese. I also have to tribute the Jan in the spoof movies, thought she stole the show, hilarious!. Never get tired of Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, classic!
My older sister would watch these shows, dress her son and daughter like this and have their pictures taken professionally. I think she felt they were the next Donnie and Marie.
Kids: How bout some more modern material for us? Director: How does both Pinball Wizard and Live and Let Die sound? Kids: Wow, that's pretty great! Director: But we can only afford about five seconds of each song. Kids: ....
During the broadcast of the variety hour it was viewed to be "corny" but time has passed and the nostalgic presentation of the variety show is now viewed in favorable light. The cast and guest lineup will never be duplicated.
I wasn't sure either, but I see someone else identified her as Melanie. I remember her for her big hit, "Brand New Key" back in the early 70's.@maidahaltrecht6577
I loved Maureen/Marcia's long bob she wore after the original show and going into the 90's specials. Her iconic longer hair that she brushed 100 times never worked and looked like a bad wig.
Was so happy when I heard the Bradys were coming back -- and then I watched a few minutes of the Variety Hour and never watched it again. Maybe if it had a couple of songs built around the old setup -- including the classic set (which was most likely gone), it could have lasted longer. But really, another season of the classic show -- with only a couple of musical episodes would have been my preference. Still, it's a nice bit of nostalgia as long as you don't take it too seriously.
At first I thought the Brady Kids doing "Live and Let Die" blew my head off, but Rip Taylor magically appearing with Rich Little and singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" really did the trick.
I really do think Christopher Knight is one of the best people in the World. I just wish that I could have met him and been one of his Best Friends in life.🎉
You can blame the Donny & Marie Show for this and the curiosity of the American viewers who wanted to see what the Brady Kids looked like a few years after the cancellation of the Brady Bunch. One of the highest rated shows of the entire Donnie & Marie Osmond series in 1976 was when a few of the Brady kids guest starred. America tuned in to see how they looked and of course the suits at ABC thought that meant America wanted to see another Brady Bunch Show. Only they got it all wrong and came up with this musical version, that only the most ardent Brady fan could defend as good.
America always embraces another look at the Bradys, but they've never had a comeback vehicle as engaging as the original series -- until they rebuilt they rebuilt the house interior on HGTV. Barry and Chris have a podcast talking about the show that is also a blast. The Variety Hour, though -- a one-hour special probably would have done okay. A whole season of this was never going to make it.
@@landreauloverThey did have the right vehicle to catch us up on the Brady kids and what they looked like was the 1981 Brady Brides. That should have been a one off show, where we get to see Marcia getting married and ended it for good there. But of course they ruined it by having Jan marry in that show as well and having Marcia marry a goof ball like Wally? Highly improbable.
I was a kid but i remember all these "variety shows" and loved them. Most people did. Donny and Marie and Cher were two others. Pure cheese but who cares. Its THE BRADY,S. Night of 100 stars were pretty awesome too. All of hollywoods greats on one stage.
This show was an absolute montrosity. Yeah, somehow I'm not surprised seeing Rip Taylor here being part of it. To people under 30, this was what we had to endure during the 70s: variety shows ad nauseam. Nevertheless, the 70s were still pretty fun and entertaining.
All of these negative comments. If you didn't like it, why did you watch it? I just Loved it. I always enjoyed it very much. It always put a smile on your face.
I would really love to get the Brady Bunch Dvds if I could just find them somewhere but I don't know where I could get them from I am starting to get out and try to find some of them.

This is better than anything that’s been on tv before or since!
The ironly. Robert Reed would storm off the set of the Brady Bunch because he thought the show was so dumb. But he liked doing these shows.
Now that is funny
Wild1995 brought out who he was , that’s why he liked it
No offense but gay people like this type of show biz, of which Reed was.
I’m curious, if he was in need of cash and appreciates a certain type of acting, why didn’t he focus on that? Age? A project simply handed to him?
I actually Googled it. He wanted to sing and dance. He said he was trained for it. Maybe not too well but he was trained. He was originally a dramatic actor and only did the BB because he didn't think it would last.
Maybe he liked the $$$$$$$
It’s like a bad car wreak... you can’t stop watching.
Is there a good car wreck? 😂
Two things...How did this end up in my suggested videos and THANK YOU UA-cam! Life was so simple then.
Id still rather watch this than any of the Kardashians or Jenners.
@Kat E. - Ditto
I agree hundred percent with you the Kardashians just plain suck
just love this just pure magic
I would pick this over Family Guy (even the 2005 resurrection).
Kat E. True that!
Greg thought he was going to be the next David Cassidy!🤣
If you forced foreign enemies to watch this, there would be world peace in a heart beat.

😂😂😂
I love their costumes! They are always so well-matched and they have really pretty outfits on this show.
I am so happy that you have been here since you were there for the
The game is very good for a while
😒😊😊😩😏
Are you being serious or sarcastic?
My older sister would watch these shows, dress her son and daughter like this and have their pictures taken professionally. I think she felt they were the next Donnie and Marie.
lol i love that we just call her "Fake Jan"
But she really is talented and does a good job after the first emotional outbursts she had in the first episode.
@@KendrickHarrisKenfinity thats right. i actually prefer her to real Jan.
Fake jan has an awesome singing voice
I'm glad these are on youtube for everyone to see Robert Reed/ Florence Henderson and
Anne B Davis, it's a good thing to remember them with. 😇
I like how Alice comes out to the stage near the end! 😊
Yes! She was with "her peeps"
You ever see something so shocking that you just wind up staring at it in utter disbelief? Think that would apply here.....
Gotta admit Florence’s dress will work today.👗👍
I love the Brady Bunch Variety Hour!
I do as well. It's a fun show.
Kids: How bout some more modern material for us?
Director: How does both Pinball Wizard and Live and Let Die sound?
Kids: Wow, that's pretty great!
Director: But we can only afford about five seconds of each song.

Sounds Great!
Maureen McCormick was always beautiful
Still is
@@94pruiz Was going to say that same thing and she still is another year later
She still is beautiful even to this day in the year 2020
The best thing about the Brady Bunch
Heard she slept with half of Hollywood back then and her career still never materialized after the Brady Bunch. Poor girl
1:45 - The return of Johnny Bravo
😃😃🤙
They are all so talented, I enjoy every moment of this!❤
We are all watching these because they are cheesy fun and have a lot of good old music and mainly because UA-cam is showing them for some reason.
Greg thought that he was all that and a bag of chips.
cant get enough of the brady hour
Back when we only had one TV in the house, and your dad controlled the channels!!! Thank You Dad for not subjecting me to this during the 70s!!!
Oh yes! One TV, and ours was black and white. My parents were too cheap to buy a color TV. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Boo who, we had only black and white as well. My parents were not cheap. We was poe
" the Brady Bunch Variety Shows were the greatest show ever on television and really shaped the 70's culture ".....said NO one ever .
🤣😂🤪🙃
"So much talent on that stage!!!"
Not this one...somewhere else! 🤣😆🤣😆🤣
Melanie looked absolutely gorgeous!!
This has to be the first unintentional parody show.
Love everything about brady Bunc
Bunch ❤❤❤ im 62 still watch it
Oh crap, 2:40 on Sunday morning and I'm watching The Brady's sing the movies. FML.
Chrisell 8:39am
A Fabulous fiasco! I loved it!
This rendition of pinball wizard was probably what drove Pete Townshend to drink.
I love all these Songs!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Boy, this sure put a kink in my colon.
I can straighten out that kink in your colon...call me...lets make life real groovy!
curt childress 👋
Completely forgot about this show. And for good reason.
Take a big bag of money and a big bag of white powder and I assume this is what you get.
Barry went on and did musicals. I saw him in “City of Angels” and he was truly wonderful.
the dancing showgirls are killing me lol
What genius thought having a pool center stage was a good idea?
During the broadcast of the variety hour it was viewed to be "corny" but time has passed and the nostalgic presentation of the variety show is now viewed in favorable light. The cast and guest lineup will never be duplicated.
Thank God that will never be duplicated!
@1:35 Robert Reed is walking like he just spent the weekend at the Everard Baths
I got a feeling that all 3 of us guys in this thread so far are gay.
@@curtchildress7160 Oh, the Stories I could tell of my time at Paramount Studios! Stage 5...The Brady Stage!!
I am talking about 2:19 the Brady Bunch i wish i could find them for sale. 5:42 on Dvds.
I love Melanie's take on Rainbow. Simple and plaintive.
Who is that singer? She looks so familiar but I can't place her.
I wasn't sure either, but I see someone else identified her as Melanie. I remember her for her big hit, "Brand New Key" back in the early 70's.@maidahaltrecht6577
She sucks
I always enjoyed this show
Florence Henderson was more Beautiful in person, than on television.
A Great gift for various occasions are tickets to see these various entertainers.
Who are the mystery dancers in this one and swimmers in the July 4th one?
this is completely insane.I don't remember taking LSD this morning.
Love Greg's groovy jumpsuit.
I wish i knew where i could find DVDs of there shows i would love to collect some of them.
I love how Maureen claps right before she's about to start singing pinball wizard she's so excited to sing a song that they actually know
“Who the hell gave these people a whole hour?” - Red Forman ( That 70’s Show )
You may think so, but this was something that the whole family could watch. Unlike today where you have so little family shows.
Eve Plumb was a genius.
I know she didn't do it
her dad advised her not to do the show.
Must have been one hell of an after party.
I loved Maureen/Marcia's long bob she wore after the original show and going into the 90's specials. Her iconic longer hair that she brushed 100 times never worked and looked like a bad wig.

Who would have thought, Robert Reed actually wanted to do this show!
It's because he always wanted to be a sailor.
All he got was semen
Well he was gay
Must have paid him well to do this
Melanie is beautiful and sounded Great
I think Alice and Rip Taylor have it going on!😂
At first I thought the Brady Kids doing "Live and Let Die" blew my head off, but Rip Taylor magically appearing with Rich Little and singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" really did the trick.
James Bond 007: Live and Let Die was a great action movie of 1973 from United Artists.
Such talented people
@ElemenTeri .....That would be Melanie Safka she was one of the performers at Woodstock, she still tours and she's still fabulous.....
Sometimes when i least expect it, Florence Henderson belting BABY FACE will get stuck in my head. And heart. Lol. 😅
Peter Brady is silly😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
OK this is really blowing my mind I really enjoy watching this. Do you have a Livia to you soon rip Taylor saying and Melindie Just playing awesome
Brady bunch shows very good shows
Wow everything is so SPARKLY 0_o
Wow, the Brady's said "hell."
Paul McCartney should have sued the Bradys for destruction of private property.
right on!
I want them to do the Theme From Shaft
They'd be a bad mothe.... Shut your mouth!
Can you imagine!!🤣🤣🤣
How about Robert Reed’s rendition of “take a Walk on the Wild Side”?
I saw Florence in person, she was wonderful.
Greg Brady - Pinball Wizard. My life is complete.
Who produced this, John Waters?
Barry Williams's singing voice had obviously risen in pitch from baritone to tenor by this time.
I dropped my cable service today -- no more TV. I'm reminded why.
1977: Watched it because there was nothing else on TV.
2024: Watched it for Florence Henderson.
barry williams has "future branson performer at the brady brunch show" written all over him here/
What happened to Eve Plumb as Jan?
Eve Plumb was appearing in movies at the time this show was on TV. She's still acting today and on stage and is also an excellent artist.
I really do think Christopher Knight is one of the best people in the World. I just wish that I could have met him and been one of his Best Friends in life.🎉
Is it just me? or is that NOT Jan?
It’s not just you. The original Jan, Eve Plumb, opted out of the variety hour. Probably for good reason

Thanks Greg next time I'm out I'm so doing "The Pinball"
I have never been so drunk in my life to watch the full seven minutes of this show. Reporting to AA after I watch 1 more clip of the BBVH...

Deze Brady kids had a lot of talent. Glad they were discovered..
How many viewers went blind from all the sequins in this show?
Where's the young lady who played Jan (Eve Plumb)?
Because I always wanted to hear the Brady Bunch sing Live and Let Die
Fake Jan was pretty cute. I don't think there'd have been as much "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" if the original Jan looked like the fake Jan!
I love RIP Taylor!!!
this was as good it got in 1976, and believe it or not it was good enough.
I keep waiting for Robert Reed to be dressed as a dancing girl
Reed was the stud variety gay.
Robert Reed DID dress up and dance as Carmen Miranda in another episode of this show.
I STILL Don't Know Where The REAL Jan Brady (Eve Plum) Is?............ P.s & Thanks For Uploading This Video BBVHFan :)........................
She didn't want to do the show.
@@df5295smart woman. 😂😂😂
I bet at the time they were thinking, damn we are making a masterpiece.
..and they would turn out to be right!!!
Who is the person that sang Over the Rainbow?? i don't recognize her...
Melanie Safka
Who was that singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow? She looks so familiar but I can't place her.
Melanie Safka
We always find our what the finale" is when we keep the lady so she can escape from the ape. And focus on us "strangers". Stay safe everyone!
Who sang somewhere over rainbow?
Robert Reed was such a terrible singer and dancer that I am beginning to believe that he actually wasn't gay.
that is hilarious
He wasn't that bad people if you think you can do better than do it
that's funny as hell!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha Ha!
Let me refresh my first statement I would love to collect all of them.
I would really love to get the Brady Bunch Dvds if I could just find them somewhere but I don't know where I could get them from I am starting to get out and try to find some of them.
holy s***, peter's all grown up 0_0
Did they ever even mention Melanie in any introductions??
These production numbers is what how Busby Berkeley died!
