This is the 70's-est thing that has ever 70's-ed.
even by 70s standards when this was new it was considered cringe.
Then you haven't seen that 70s Liberace special with the mod dancers and him trying to sing popular songs like Feeling Groovy...wearing this crazy flower power outfit.
This was a bit before my time but I have seen the reruns of the Brady Bunch. This seems very odd even for this time. Or any time. Like really odd.
That's a mouthful right there! 😝😝😝😝😝
😂😂😂
❤I’m here because 47 years ago I was in labor and had just checked into the hospital. All settled in and the tv in my room was on,and this is what was on. Just a memory 😊. That said,tonight I am sitting here with my beautiful daughter born that night. Happy Birthday My Ginger 🩷
Cool memory!
Ok

Of The Brady Bunch. ? Really ? Funny
Lovely story! ❤️💕♥️
Kudos to Eve Plumb for staying far away from this disaster.
I love Geri Reichel playing Fake Jan. Did you know January 2nd is Fake Jan Day?
You celebrate with a good cheese ball.
nah she was unavailable because she was filming the tv movie 'Dawn Portrait Of A Teenage Runaway'....which was pretty good at least they have 'fake Jan' to fill in the role

Her father kept her away
Barry Williams a legend in his own mind
Right up there with the Star Wars Christmas special.
The Star Wars Christmas Special had more class than this (and it had none).
I dunno. At least I understood the first 20 minutes of this. Maybe that's the drawback. 😂
😆😆😆😆
Don't you mean, down there?
You've got the cutest little baby face. There ain't nobody can ever take your place. Unless you're Jan-- you've been replaced.
Get off Jan's case. If she was here she would spray you with mace. But overall this show is a waste.
What you talking about Willis
This is soooooooooo bad that it’s absolute f**king GENIUS. I remember watching copy of this on VHS back in the early ‘90s and watching it in altered states. A life-changing experience.
I like that I thought Bobby looked a bit like Chaka from Land of the lost
LoL!
😅
Nailed it!
Can't unsee that now.
Well....it's official....I'm now hopelessly insane.
Welcome to the club 😜

Their chemistry! So corny-fabulous! Beautiful routines and costumes. Talented.
People calling this horrible but honestly I love this so much.
It is sooo bad but I love it!! I grew up with The Brady Bunch on reruns 💗
@@kiranolan7104 same!!
I wanted to be Marcia so bad and had a crush on Peter and Greg.
Same
Pure entertainment
Lol, awful and cringeworthy for sure, but it immediately takes me right back to that place and time . . the nostalgia is deep.
Red Foreman: "Who gave those people an entire hour?"
They are actually pretty good actors- very entertaining!
The world's entire supply of glitter was used for this programme
WOW! It's like taking LSD.....without actually taking LSD.
😂
troll
🤣😂
If I had an LSD trip that was anything like this I would consider that a pretty bad trip.
@@billhosko7723?????? 🥴
Poor Robert Reed. He was a classically trained actor.
What's funny is that he was actually EXCITED to do the variety hour! In fact, I could be wrong, but it might be the only Brady-related project he was actually happy to do.
troll
He wanted to sing and dance.
You can’t keep an old queen down!
"Actors" are just professional deceivers...it's in the name!
What i will love forever, is they loved each other.
This has to be at the apex of 70’s variety shows. The over the top outfits the corny jokes and dance routines. Yet for its time it was a hit. As a little kid I remember seeing this episode when it was first run.
Sid and Marty Krofft could do no wrong.
Clean, fresh.... intended corny fun. Thank you for posting.
Those Man perms!!!
The Man perms made them look like poodles.
It's going to take a lot of beer to forget this ever happened.
Well, there's no time like the present to get started.
😂🍻

@@billhosko7723 Nein, nur ein entfurtner Cousin.
I was 11 when this first aired. I remember thinking to myself “what the heck is this”. I thought it was the dumbest thing I’d ever seen.
And you were right 😅
Brady boys hair giving Land of the Lost vibes.
This is up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special. 😂
love it. Remember watching back in the 70's
The BB theme done on kazoo, really sets the stage for the show.
Haha! Yeah, that was beyond goofy!! I almost can’t watch this.
God bless Geri Reischl, Jan #2, the only replacement cast member capable back then of making me say "Marsha who?" Wonderful singer as well.
Robert Reed really needed a drink.
We all needed a drink after watching it, so I don't hold that against him. He had to be in it.
4:56 Marcia: Yeah! Why can't Jan be dead?!
18:40 There goes Greg.
Marsha saying "Yeah, why can't Jan be dead?!?"... was a dark moment.
So funny!😂
Guess that explains why Eve Plumb is missing. 🤷♂️
Fake Jan was gorgeous!
Fake Jan also had a good singing voice.
Still fake
fake jan always freaks me out
Wonder what happened with Eve Plumb😊
18:42 Greg fell! 😂
They did pretty good considering they probably hadn’t done tons of roller skating…
I would love to see the entire series released.
Greg falling down unplanned, during the roller skating number, a fake Jan, underwater clowns? Yup, pretty scary.
But Maureen McCormick was just plain 🔥🔥🔥! Lol
@@pjjacunski7979 She was big time into cocaine at that time.
@@lullarmstrong3423 did not know that. Yet for some reason, not at all surprised
Camp at its best….
@@lullarmstrong3423 I recall Greg doing drugs during the original show..as he grew older...there were times he had a far off look in his eyes and you could tell he was on something...for Example in the episode when he worked with Sam at his Meat shop.. when he was hired to be the delvery boy...during the scene you could tell he had been on something by the look in his eyes.
I’m glad Robert reed was still alive when he did this
I love everything about the 1970's!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alice shaking her booty made me chuckle 🤭
There are no words to describe this show
Awful
Did anybody else fast-forward through this thing just to pick out the scenes with Marsha?😅
Did anyone not do that? 😄 The hover scan over the red time-line works well.
I grew up with the Brady Bunch and love them oh, never saw this crap though
What about The Brady Kids?
I loved it in reruns. My.
Parents though never would have watched a variety show like this. They were into classical, opera, big band. This never would have seen the light of day. 😂
Ah, the 70's - with the endless variety shows. Those were the days . . .
This is worth the view just for the costumes 😉
I’m 64. I don’t recall this at all. I still crush on Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
* Marcia 😉
Gorgeous girl in her prime.
My childhood memories. Thank you for posting this!
Lol I grew up in the 70's I watched this every weekend the Hudson brothers too
Both shows are awful. 😖 🤮
This was only a six episode Summer replacement.
troll@@brenthaymon280
The Hudson Brothers were great! The Adventures Of Chucky Margolis, The Island Of Pagi Pagi, and Rod Hull and Emu!
I imagine my family back in 1976 all sitting around the tv going “what IS this?!” And laughing their asses off. But then again, it WAS the 70s. And only 3 channels if you were lucky. I am not surprised it got canceled pretty quickly.
troll
@@billhosko7723calm down Billy
I'll never be able to unsee this😳😳😳
Same Here... 😵💫
You know Reed loved doing those musical numbers!!
He threw up right after kissing Florence on the mouth.
This is so wonderfully bizzare. The variety show was big at the time but it was always Dean Martin, the Osmonds or whoever as the ringmaster. Here the actors are playing their TV characters hosting a variety show. Tony Randall, as himself, adresses' his fellow actors as the characters and its convincing. Its a mindf*** and I'm not sure anyone else was doing a variety show in quite this way.
Also you can tell Florence Henderson was working in her sweet spot. Her skill set was perfect for the variety show and I bet she loved doing those show tunes.
Now I have been thoroughly entertained beyond comprehension.
If they would have shown this to the prisoners at Guantanamo, they would cracked in five minutes
troll
Who here noticed Greg biting the dust at 18:40 while skating?
I noticed. 😂 And whomever posted cut out most of his solo song. Greg couldn't catch a break.
This was absolutely standard television for its time.
Thanks for uploading. I've wanted to see this to see what all the fuss was about
This is awesome! Love it!
Thank you!
Man, I miss the 70s
Greg doing the Hustle is everything… he seems to be the one with the best groove.😂 40:58
'Rollerama'... piece... soo funny. Well done.
oww!! my eyes! my eyes! my ears!! So bad that it's good!!
"But Jan,You don't have any friends.".
Not the real Jan
@@johnetheridge5833
Geri Reichel aka Fake Jan.
Roller rink scene was fun, Marie Osmond looked amazing, and Tony Randal was great...Vagus dancers to!
Greg Brady was the king of the Disco.
Yes but SO Cringe 🤣🤣🤣
Is it it me or are those background sets the same ones used from the "Electric Company" show?
Thank goodness I never saw this show, however I loved and still do "The Brady Bunch"
The cheese factor is off the charts. But I can’t stop watching this!
Marie Osmond is a dream! ❤
Marie Osmond is more than just a dream---she's one of America's greatest pop singers! (Compared to the likes of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, Marie sounds like Pavarotti!)
The Brady bunch dancers. 😂 too funny.
Robert’s feathers where showing😊
The reason this may be called 'horrible' because the actors were given material was beyond their capabilities. They would have to be at the level of the old Saturday Night Live level of comedian.
Also, I can guarantee you that every major figure in this TV production was coked out of their mind.
that was awesome!!
Oh my god. I'd like to forget this ever happened..
It isn't as bad as Playboy's Roller Disco & Pajama Party.
I was 7 years old when this first aired. I watched Brady Bunch twice a day in syndication on channel 5 out of NYC. I could not have been more excited for this. It was so flashy and colorful! But, on some level I realized that something was off. I remember looking for it the next week, but for a while it only aired once a month.
31:00 "Greg's" song was cut. I wonder why....
It's the Brady and it was the 70's what more can you ask for except for the original Jan!
Johnny Bravo! The Rock Star! 🤣🤣
I never knew until now that this was a Sid & Marty Krofft show. I was always surprised that with all the complaining Bob Reed did during The Brady Bunch series that he agreed to do this show.
I forgot how cute Marie Ozmond was! ❤
I remember watching this when it first aired in Australia in the 1970s. I liked it then. We only had 4 TV stations then and any variety show was good to watch.
At least fake Jan looked like Jan.
Peter looks so much like Seth Mcfarlane.
I'm in my fifties; I often say Seth MacFarlane looks like Peter Brady.
He’s the most attractive boy besides the dad. never thought Greg was cute
So bad that it's great!!!
Ngl im really digging this lol
They were such Dorks! I love how the newer Brady Bunch Movies makes fun of them but brings out what old shows tried to hide…. 😊
As much as Robert Reed hated doing The Brady Bunch, he was the first one to sign up to this show. He said he missed the kids.
Love them ✨✨✨✨✨
Memories like the corners of our minds of the way we were
Nothing like a little fake Jan to spice up the evening. Everyone needs a little fake Jan once in a while
People call January 2nd Fake Jan day.
This variety show needed some Sleestaks
For those who don't know "up your nose with a rubber hose" became a catch-phrase after it was used a few times on Welcome Back Kotter as an insult the Sweathogs liked to say.
The Osmonds were slumming it.😅
Love this tho. Mindless entertainment. Fake Jan is the best fake Brady because you know she appreciated her time with these people.
All this glorious disaster needed was Cousin Oliver. He would have solved everything.
😜
troll
Or cousin Itt!
I love how they made Alice wear her apron!
Absolutely brutal...
I made it all the way through to the end where, for some odd reason, everyone forgets that Mike and Carol didn't have any of their kids.... they are all steps! Lol! How did that slip by? Lol!
I wonder if they froze that pool into the ice rink for the first episode of Donny and Marie
It's a possibility
I don't know why, but I've always had an affection for the Brady Bunch. I watched this show when it first aired and remembered like it was yesterday. These song and dance variety shows were the thing at the time. To be perfectly honest, it's not that bad.
Everybody had a variety show in the 70s. Just how it was. Takes me back to Mac Davis.
Eve Plumb (Jan) is the smartest Brady of all.
Wow, just wow....
A Dynamite Act "The Brady Bunch and a Coat Hanger" LOL
"YEah, why can't Jan be dead" I'm dead!!
