Synopsis

The Brady Bunch Hour is an American variety television series produced by Sid and Marty Krofft in association with Paramount Television, which aired on ABC between 1976 to 1977. The series stars the original cast members of The Brady Bunch, with the exception of Eve Plumb, who was replaced by Geri Reischl. This change led to the reference "Fake Jan". The show began as a 60-minute special titled The Brady Bunch Variety Hour on November 28, 1976. This special led to eight additional 60-minute episodes produced and aired as The Brady Bunch Hour from January to May 1977. The show's events are not included or mentioned in the later spinoffs and revivals.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
cybermartian I'd agree it's the worst along with nearly all the critic's posts on this thread but I'd be forgetting about "The Sunny Comedy Revue" by comparison.How in the world did producers think people were going to like this? Was it only because the original television series was a great success? What they hell where the creators sniffing when they decided to release this? I want what they were sniffing for sure. Sure, and the Brady Bunch series was a phenomenal success and I loved it. Furthermore, the critics that had first hand review of this garbage before its release should have recommended not air it, or did they? And why? Oh my God! At any rate, when I watch the first 3-4 minutes of the opening of this disaster when it was first released, I couldn't bear to watch anymore of it. Enough said. Lol.
dsnow-1 One of the worst TV shows ever.Funny thing though, Robert Reed, who hated the Brady Bunch show, agreed to do this show.The Brady Bunch was my favorite show while I was growing up. I looked forward to it every Friday night.Personally I never cared for any of the reunion shows, though the theater movies without the original cast were pretty funny.It would have been better if they had just left the Brady Bunch in 1974 the way I remember it.Some things are better left the way they are.
MartinHafer It's a really tough call--is THIS the absolute worst TV show ever created or was another Sid and Marty Kroft show, PINK LADY AND JEFF? It's really hard to tell--they are BOTH that bad! And, they actually share some things in common other than the same producers. Both are variety shows that feature people acting way outside their ranges! While Florence Henderson could sing, the rest of the cast couldn't and there was a strong effort to peddle the Brady kids as a pop group (you've got to hear their albums--they are unintentionally hilarious). So what you have, apart from Ms. Henderson, are some well-meaning but not very talented kids (and this is not just my opinion, but that of the cast when they were interviewed years later) and Robert Reed who just seems totally lost.Okay, so the songs are a problem (sort of like WWII was a "bit of a tiff")--and that's bad because about half the show is singing and bizarrely choreographed dancing in lots of orange, pink and purple sequined jumpsuits. The rest of the show is "comedy"--something that the Brady family was really not known for--yes, they did a bland little family show, but this was far from the demands they placed on them in The Brady Bunch Hour. Here they were expected to be true comedians at times and do skits that invariably bombed.And, if all this isn't bad enough, Eve Plumb ("Jan") refused to do the show, so they just picked another person who only had a vague resemblance to her and did it anyways! Despite the fact that almost everyone was totally outside of their element and the show featured a "faux Jan", it only got worse. The Krofts, while described by some as "geniuses", simply couldn't cut it and the show was pure 70s tackiness. It was so loud, so "in your face" and so gaudy, the show literally attacked instead of entertained. It actually reminded me of a high school talent show combined with a Vegas review! Now, you might just assume that I don't want you to ever see this show. Not exactly,...I say see it and see how unintentionally funny and awful it was. I guess I can't blame the cast, as I am sure they got very well paid and they didn't have a lot of other options for acting.UPDATE--Well, perhaps I spoke too soon. Tonight I saw something from TV from the same time period that was worse, though it was a TV special. The "STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL" is amazingly bad--so bad that it's a train-wreck bad.
lovestonerocks All I can say is Damn awful, but funny to look at , at least once. I'd like to know what the production meetings were like for this one.Personally I think Greg Should have actually broke from the group as "Johnny Bravo". It would have been bigger than Ziggy Stardust.
