The Brady Bunch | comment |
The Brady Bunch never reached the top 30 during its original network run, but earned a large following in syndication. In 1995, this fame led to the release of The Brady Bunch Movie, the first of three Affectionate Parody-films of the original sitcom. The Bradys have become a bunch of Disco Dans, engaging in 1970s fads and activities despite moving to the 1990s. The film follows their efforts to raise $20,000 in order to save their home (and, by extension, their neighborhood) from a Corrupt Corporate Executive (Michael McKean) who wants to convert the area into a shopping mall.A Very Brady Sequel followed in 1996. A man identifying himself as Carol's first husband, Roy Martin, returns from a several-decade absence, and causes friction among the Brady household. Unbeknownst to the Brady Bunch, their visitor is actually a smuggler named Trevor Thomas (Tim Matheson of Animal House and Burn Notice), seeking to steal their horse statue for Dr. Whiteman, a rich man living in Hawaiʻi. Trevor uses the Bradys' cluelessness to carry out his plan, as well as openly insult them throughout the film.Paramount Television and Fox hoped to continue the success of the two theatrical films with a 2002 Made-for-TV Movie, The Brady Bunch in the White House. In it, Mike Brady becomes President of the United States. | |

That Reminds Me of a Song | |
The Brady Bunch / int_1ab65185 | comment |
That Reminds Me of a Song: While Mike, Alice and the Brady Kids fly a plane to Hawaii, Cindy asks if anyone knows how to feel better about Carol's kidnapping. Greg then pulls a guitar out of Hammerspace, and all the Brady Kids start dancing in the aisles, performing "Good Time Music". Downplayed that the other passengers express annoyance and the flight attendant to proceed to tell them in the middle of the song to sit down and shut up. Although their singing wasn't hated by everyone (in addition to obviously Mike and Alice liking their performance, a nun enjoys it, even playing a tambourine at one point), the average person will not be happy to have their flight be interrupted. | |

The Brady Bunch / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Doug Simpson, who asks Marcia out, is much worse in the movie then in the original series. In the series, he was simply shallow, breaking his date with Marcia when she disfigured her nose. In the movie, he’s abusive to his girlfriend, who he dumps for Marcia. While he doesn’t break their date over her nose, it’s revealed that it’s because he’s trying to sleep with her. | |

The Brady Bunch / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: Greg, who thinks he's a real ladies man, an all-star athlete and the next big rock star ... except that no self-respecting girl wants anything to do with him except to tell him he's a geeky loser. Contrasted with the original Greg, who was truly one of the Big Men on Campus. Additionally, film!Greg fully embraces "Johnny Bravo" – in the high school dance scene, where he is quickly booed offstage less than two bars into his song "Til There Was You" – whereas the TV Greg rejected the concept as a manufactured marketing gimmick that would also have eliminated his creative input. (Ironically, Williams did later record an album of songs under the "Johnny Bravo" umbrella.) | |

Bad Liar | |
The Brady Bunch / int_3cb6468e | comment |
Bad Liar: Jan can't trick Marcia into believing that she has a boyfriend named George Glass, until it comes true. Best demonstrated when Marcia walks in on Jan making a Phoney Call to "George" on a sex hotline, resulting in Jan fabricating outlandish explanations for Marcia not hearing the phone ring (Jan detected with ESP that George would call at that time), and "George" warning Marcia that it would "cost extra" for him to fly from New York to the Bradys' home (the "very continental" George is on vacation in New York); Marcia's doubts in George's existence only intensify when she finds the sex hotline's business card next to the phone. | |

Not His Sled: In the classic series episode "The Subject Was Noses," Doug Simpson calls off his date with Marcia when he sees her swollen nose, using the same excuse she made to break her date with Charlie. Here, he doesn't break the date, assuring her "It's not your nose I'm after," but then dumps her during the date because she refuses to have sex with him. | |

Alternative Character Interpretation | |
The Brady Bunch / int_5e7163c9 | comment |
Alternative Character Interpretation: invoked In this movie's universe: Jan develops her jealousy of Marcia out of mental instability. (In the original series, it was envy, fueled by Jan's teachers constantly boasting about Marcia.) Marcia is much more of a narcissist and a bully in the movies, so Jan's feelings toward her may be more hostile as a result of that. Greg is a complete geek and socially clueless loser, and "BMOC" wannabe, unlike the original series where Greg was one of the Big Men on Campus. | |

Sequel Hook: Unless she moves on from Mike immediately, Jeannie arriving and revealing she's Mike's long lost wife opens up a whole new plotline. The fact that it's strongly implied the real Roy Martin and the other six people he was on the Minnow with are probably alive on a desert island means the same plot begins for real—minus Trevor's greed and maliciousness—the moment Roy and the others are all rescued and return home. | |

Mean Character, Nice Actor: Although Christine Taylor (Marcia) and Jennifer Elise Cox (Jan) both agreed to stay in character between takes to maintain the tension between them, Taylor later admitted that she felt bad for "picking on" Cox so much in character. (Subverted, of course, in that she wasn't really picking on Cox, Marcia was picking on Jan.) | |

Casting Gag | |
The Brady Bunch / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Tim Matheson, who played Roy/Trevor, previously played one of the children in Yours, Mine, and Ours, a movie that partly inspired the original Brady Bunch series.note Sherwood Schwartz adamantly maintained that he conceived The Brady Bunch before Yours, Mine, and Ours came out, but the series had become a bit of a Spiritual Adaptation of it by the time it hit the air Christopher Daniel Barnes, who played Greg, previously starred in "Day by Day", one episode of which was a special Brady Bunch episode based on the original series, guest-starring Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Ann B. Davis, Maureen McCormick, Chris Knight and Mike Lookinland. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Trevor Thomas was the associate of archaeologist Roy Martin, Carol’s first husband. Trevor resorted to cutting the fuel line to their boat and leaving Roy and the six others on board to die (though from the sound of things, they may have been stranded on a desert island instead). He later poses as Roy to get into the good graces of the Bradys and resorts to kidnapping Carol and threatening people with a gun to get what he wants, which is their antique horse valued at about $20 million. | |

The Brady Bunch / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: First we see Marcia invoke this trope when the Bradys are following the trail of yarn Carol has left them in Hawaii, once it has seemed to end in the middle of nowhere. Later, Mike invokes this trope more seriously and emphatically at Dr. Whitehead’s mansion, after Roy insists he doesn't need a gun to “kick [Mike’s] Brady BUTT.” The entire family gasps at his remark, Cindy exclaims, “He said the B-WORD!”, and apparently, as far as Mike is concerned, that, alone, is far more egregious than everything else Roy has done put together, as it's the final insult that sets Mike off the deep end. Or rather, it induces Mike to set Roy off the deep end….by punching him right into the pool! | |

Character Exaggeration | |
The Brady Bunch / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: The films slightly exaggerated the characters' personalities, such as Jan's jealousy towards Marcia and Cindy's tattling (and Mike admonishing Cindy for tattling ... even though she was trying to tell him she had witnessed Mr. Dittmeyer stealing their mail, a federal crime), but true to the show. They were the characters from the later seasons stuck in the 1990s. The TV film The Brady Bunch in the White House made them unloveable parodies, such as Marcia crying when she got promoted to captain of the cheerleading squad and the vote wasn't unanimous. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: An auctioneer alludes to Marcia's and Jan's original actresses, and also to one of the most iconic Brady episodes, as she thanks Mrs. McCormick and Mrs. Plumb for donating their mom's favorite vase. Signs at the construction site are marked REED DESIGN, in honor of the original man named Brady. | |

Rage Breaking Point | |
The Brady Bunch / int_c819533b | comment |
Later, Mike invokes this trope more seriously and emphatically at Dr. Whitehead’s mansion, after Roy insists he doesn't need a gun to “kick [Mike’s] Brady BUTT.” The entire family gasps at his remark, Cindy exclaims, “He said the B-WORD!”, and apparently, as far as Mike is concerned, that, alone, is far more egregious than everything else Roy has done put together, as it's the final insult that sets Mike off the deep end. Or rather, it induces Mike to set Roy off the deep end….by punching him right into the pool! | |

When she asks her parents if she can tattle when something urgent is happening, they tell her to wait until the morning, so she blurts out, "But Jan could be dead by then!" | |

The Brady Bunch / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: In Hawaii, Jan just happens to meet a real boy named George Glass, and he miraculously falls in love with her back. Assuming that Jan wouldn't have noticed him if his name didn't already sound familiar to her, it seems that the only way for her to get a boyfriend really did involve making one up. Also, Carol just happens to stumble upon Dr. Whiteman while running away from Trevor, and he just happens to have a son, Gilligan, who disappeared on the exact same boat ride that took Roy Martin away from Carol. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
The Brady Bunch / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: The three movies have three different sets of writers, and there's a noticeable difference in tone between them all. The Brady Bunch Movie was partly written by 3rd Rock from the Sun and That '70s Show creators Bonnie and Terry Turner, and there's definitely a skewed sitcom feel to it. A Very Brady Sequel was partly written by the team of Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, who also did Can't Hardly Wait, and it has more of an edgy teen comedy style. The Brady Bunch in the White House was written by two of Sherwood Schwartz's children (son Lloyd and daughter Hope), and harks back to the sillier style of the original series. | |
