Now For The Truth About This Show

The Brady Bunch Variety Hour is very entertaining and packed with talent. Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, and Geri Reischl are excellent singers. The dance routines combined with swimming in sync are really stunning. I loved the episodes of the original show when the kids started to sing and this gave me more of my favorite Brady moments.

Tony Randall was hilarious in the opening show as always. Ann B. Davis (aka Alice) comes along in every show to provide some comic relief. There are some very entertaining Brady sketches that show moments with the Bradys at home. Sometimes, they're talking about the show. It's like you're watching a behind-the-scenes production meeting. This was a brilliant addition to the show. This type of crafting allows the viewer to escape into a world where the Bradys are actually real. The show is suitable for all age brackets without any innuendo or crude jokes. Great job as always, Brady cast!!!
