FULL TITLE: The Brady Bunch cast REUNITE as the sitcom celebrates its 50th Anniversary... after joining forces to restore the show's iconic $1.8m house

The Brady Bunch cast have reunited ahead of the iconic sitcom's 50th Anniversary, as they promoted the TV special A Very Brady Renovation on Thursday.

The six actors who played the children of the blended family took to the stage at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour for a panel to promote the series which sees them renovate the Studio City home that appeared heavily in the show.

Barry Williams (who played Greg Brady), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), and Susan Olsen (Cindy) seemed delighted to be brought back together, five decades after making their debut in the series.

This past November, the six on-screen siblings teamed up with HGTV to restore the $3.5 million split-level ranch to took centre stage in the sitcom, recreating each room to be an exact replica of how it looked in the series.

While the California home was only used for the exterior and never for the interior scenes of the show, the group gutted the structure to turn it into what would have been the real Brady abode.

Each Brady actor was responsible for recreating one or two rooms from the original show with the help of a professional crew.

The home famously sparked a bidding war when it went up for sale in 2018, with stars including Miley Cyrus and singer Lance Bass lobbying to buy the $1.8 million property before HGTV swooped in with the winning offer.

Listen to a story about a man named Jed.
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
And then one day he was shootin’ at some food,
And up from the ground come a bubblin’ crude.

Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol’ Jed’s a millionaire.
The kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”.
They said “California’s the place you ought to be”,
so they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly

Hills, that is. Swimming pools, movie stars.

Well now it’s time to say good bye to Jed and all his kin.
They’d like to thank each one of you for kindly droppin’ in.
You’re all invited back next time to this locality,
For a heapin’ helpin’ of their hospitality.

Hillbilly, that is. Kick your shoes off. Set a spell. Y’all come back now, y’hear?

I think I'd rather watch the Brady Bunch than golf.

Actually, about the only TV I watch is the Denver news, just because some of the girls are cute.

To each his/her own. I only watch individual sports, detest football.
Golf is my stand-up-and-cheer sport. Last weekend I even got up at the unheard of hour of 4 a.m. to watch the big tournament in Ireland.

Veto!

Nice to know so many are still alive and (apparently) have not self-destructed.

And what will television even be like in 40 years?

Gone the way of the horse and buggy.

They gutted the house to make the interior look like the Hollywood sets where the show was filmed?

They are going to have a real problem with the relationship of the driveway to the patio sliding door to the astroturf yard.

I imagine that California will NOT let them get away with having almost no balusters on the main stairwell (nightmare for any family with toddlers).

They will have to make sure that the toilets are out of sight of the main camera angles on the kids' bathroom.

This is too rich for my blood. I will have to wait for them to redo the Kramdens apartment.

I’m friends with Susan. She does NOT like Maureen at all, and she knows it. Should be interesting!

Thankfully, I haven’t aged a day.

There was a house across from school that looked just like the Brady house. I’d look over at it every day during Math class and daydream. Guess that’s why I never became a math whiz.

Yeah, we get it. You are too high culture to ever have known.

Ha ha ha ha! I'm not at all surprised that s/he lives alone. That one post already bored me to the core.

I have read some interesting stories about them. They have all been verified too.

One is that the first time Florence kissed Mike, during the first filming. She came to the producer and said, “This guy ain’t straight. Later Sherwood Schwartz confirmed that she did. It was surprising to me that she could tell just from a screen kiss.

Another one was that Henderson walked around topless during backyard parties. She had a high fence so no one else could see.

Third was confirmed by both Greg and Marcia. She was visiting him and they were swimming in his parent’s pool. After a while they went up to Greg’s room. They eventually got naked and were just about to hit a home run when Greg’s Father got suspicious and knocked on the door. They hurriedly got dressed and never got together again.

NO. Don’t do it!

I don’t want to see the Brady Bunch after they’ve aged.
