@BeeGees78 - considering inflation, the media HAD to be more fun than real life. (And today everybody says television is a 'want' and not a 'need' and think about it...)
it just gets more surreal by the minute! rick dees, alice and rip torn singing tangerine(an old '50's johny mercer song which has nothing to do with disco)and the cast of whats happening. Now there are treatment centers for people who create shows like this.
I'm really surprised that Bob Reed wanted to do this. He thought that The Brady Bunch was stupid and he especially hated, and refused to do the final episode with Greg's orange hair. I'm surprised he wanted to do this, with the chickens and all the dancing and singing.
I guess the "applause " is to convince you this is good. For anyone caught up in nostalgia from their past, it wasn't all good. And the poor bastards who watched this " live ", had no fast forward or pvr....ouch.
@BettinaBalser I would like to know whom you are referring to by the phrase 'entire generation'? Now that the truth is out I am sure that 'generation' is thinking of him as something else
@letsplaycards40 I know "the truth" to which you refer. I still think of Robert Reed as Dad. Then again, I am not a narrow-minded, homophobic nimrod, either.
@letsplaycards40 now that the truth is out? OMFG where have you been? That particular secret wasnt that much of a secret and it was verified way long ago. get with the times. if you are going to hate monger keep current. and yes an entire generation will not see Robert Reed as anyone but Dad Brady. He was in other stuff but that is who he will always be. If you try to explain who he was youll always say of the dad on Brady Bunch not anything about his other roles.
Geri Reischl (fake Jan) was better looking than Eve Plumb, and she could sing too. Essentially, this was just one of several cookie-cutter Variety shows of the 70s. Still, it was enjoyable, in a sort of so-bad-it's-good way.
There is honestly nothing about this clip that's good. It's all appalling. The "acting", the "dancing", the "singing", the "choreography", the "clothing" etc. Americans wonder why they are hated so much by other countries. It's because of shit like this and people like Mary Hart. That faux "enjoyment". Everyone's just having a swell time! Fuck me! I'd rather slide down a 50 razor blade using my balls as brakes than watch Mary Hart or some other fake entertainment reporter. But I digress...
In Barry Williams' book he says Eve Plumb was smart not to do this show. I didn't know how right he was until now. Give them some credit though, they obviously spent a lot of time rehearsing these routines and that fake Jan can sing.
@BorisBarak if you come to my place and bring another guy with you we can have a circle jerk to it....shouldn't these kids be hooked on by crack now and selling there bodies? What a dissapointment
@J2Dstar HAHAAAAA!! I'm sure the casting people tried to get the Jackson 5 to sing "Dancing Machine" here. When that attempt failed, I bet some exec thought it'd be great to have the Brady kids do the song in black face. Fortunately, wisdom prevailed and that idea was shot down. And it was the only time wisdom and good taste prevailed in any issue regarding "Brady Bunch Variety Hour". On another note: WHY did they think it was a good idea to sing the "I Love lucy" theme song?!!!!? Why?
@cbiswhite That's what I'd like to know. "Lucy Disco"? Wtf?! I guess they bought the rights as part of a package deal and figured "Just use the theme somewhere, we paid for it.".
@markcosborne There were plenty of old songs that singers "discofied' Babyface, Don't Let Me be Misunderstood, Theme From I Love Lucy, Have A Cigar, It was a very strange time.
@directormexicano Eve Plumb who played Jan Brady in the Brady Bunch was smart enough to stay away from this disaster train wreck. So they hired another actress to play Jan in this "show".
I guess Jan was smarter than Marcia after all.....LOL!!!!!
@meavid According to an interview with Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Mrs Brady was quite free about walking around naked and had an amazing rack (direct quote!)
Variety shows are cheesy especially when the cast has minimal talent. Eve Plumb was smart for avoiding this turkey. Fake Jan could actually sing and is very underrated. But her juggies were microscopic.
@Jefgg "But her juggies were microscopic" Yes, because all women exist for little boys with little penises like you to rate on their breast size. Sorry, "Juggies." See, I'm 10 years old, too!
@MrPlum65 It was a novelty recored. Until the mid 80s, they were common enough to hit the top ten or in Dee's case, go all the way to #1. Remember Packman Fever from the 80s, or "Take Off"
Pure horror. I once moved a couch with Barry Williams cause our neighbor was his personal manager. The couch wouldn't fit, and Greg Brady was yelling at me.."TILT! PIVOT! NO!" all mad. I just had to remember this show and all was suddenly right with the universe.
@megafunk88 Maybe you should learn how to move a sofa, then you wouldn't have to worry about former child actors yelling at you. Your probably did need to pivot.
What in the world is this? This is not I repeat not funny. What in the world were those ducks doing and the cast of What;s Happening. This is just plain awful.
Thank you for sharing this! I haven't seen it since the time. In the new book on the show, it says that they toned down the glitter after the pilot, but you'd never guess it from this clip.
They're always in motion as they do the songs, but this is a cakewalk compared to what The Brady Kids had to do when they toured the U.S.. They were doing acrobatics, flips, and playing at least 4 different instruments and feature solos.
You how how threre's that whole urban legend around the song Gloomy Sunday where someone commits suicide everytime it's played, well I'd believe that about this.
I feel so bad for the guy who played Mr. Brady. Throught the years on the show he was getting more and more miserable and now seeing him in this gay ass variety hour makes me feel really bad for him and all of the cast members (Including Eve, who had the guts to quit)
I read that the original lyrics of "Turn the Beat Around" were "Pairs of her slacks seem nice, love to hear percussion," but Vicky Sue Robinson said it was sexist and wouldn't sing it that way. She apologized, though, and everyone on the production team really warmed to her. Likewise the original lyrics of the Jacksons' "Enjoy Yourself" were "Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself with Lee," but they were afraid their cousin Lee Jackson might be offended.
This is perhaps the apex achievement of Western culture. I am obsessed with this clip. This was filmed at the Osmond Studio in Orem, UT, where the Donnie and Marie show was filmed. There is no live audience. The singing (or what passes for it) was recorded in advance and the performers just lip synch. Greg really seems to try hard to break out as a major performer, which is kind of cool in a way, but also sad. It's surprising, though, that Mr. Brady (in real life a gay man) can't sing or dance.

This is perhaps the apex achievement of Western culture. I am obsessed with this clip. This was filmed at the Osmond Studio in Orem, UT, where the Donnie and Marie show was filmed. There is no live audience. The singing (or what passes for it) was recorded in advance and the performers just lip synch. Greg really seems to try hard to break out as a major performer, which is kind of cool in a way, but also sad. It's surprising, though, that Mr. Brady (in real life a gay man) can't sing or dance.
