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.

A google street-view photo actually shows the house being renovated, with security outside

It backs up to the dried up and concreted LA river.

They eventually got naked and were just about to hit a home run when Greg’s Father got suspicious and knocked on the door.

In my mind I'm picturing Sam the Butcher pounding on the door.

They tried to resurrect the series a few years after the original ended. The resurrected version was more dramatic and less comedic. It dealt with ‘adult’ problems of the family members. It only lasted on season, IIRC.

When Carol had to go out of town in one episode, Alice did trip and sprained her ankle while vacuuming.

Ergo, Alice was laid up in her room, where she was constantly bombarded by either Mike or one of the kids asking for help.

Her room was located off the kitchen and laundry room.

I loved this series and will certainly enjoy watching this reunion in September.

Yikes!!

Jan looks like Marcia’s MOM, now and Cindy looks like her AUNT.

Time has been good to Maureen.

Yeah, and Mulder knew it was the Brady house. They had fun turning it into a deadly place.

The sets were used quite a lot on Mannix. It was kind of fun seeing John Ritter in the upstairs bedrooms in the final episode.

Maureen resembles the loathsome Savanna Guthrie a bit.

I didn’t know they did this. It is so cool! I grew up seeing that Brady House. Everyone said when it sold last year that it would be cool to match the interior to the show.

I’m probably missing something. They gutted the house to make the interior look like the Hollywood sets where the show was filmed? They bought the house specifically to make a remodeling reality show?


I really wanted to say “You ain’t from around these parts are ya?” But you have no excuse being so close,a bit to the south there!

Hard to believe the show was only 5 seasons - it was one of my faves.
