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.

One February in early 2000s I stayed at the Beverly Garland Hotel. And walked down the block to see the house... and then turned around and went back.
They’re all OLD!
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?
Jan was on her way to serial killer status :)
Greg is still the tallest, Marsha the prettiest.
When I was a wee lad, I thought the show was insipid. But then again, the Partridge Family, Family Affair, etc. were even worse.
The Addams Family, on the other hand, that was the good stuff.
:P
The Brady Bunch. A TV show from the golden era of television.
I wonder? In 40 more years will the children of the Gallaghers get together for a 50th anniversary reunion?
And what will television even be like in 40 years?
Who are the Brady Bunch? I think some people on TV?
I hate TV, always have. Only watch golf, occasional baseball game, CBN news. Oh yeah, Jeopardy with dinner cuz I live alone. Alex is great company.
It wasn’t that great a show but I found myself watching it in reruns anyway.
I will say that the last two seasons, Marcia turned into a beautiful young lady.
Sad to know that she hit rock bottom them made at least a small rise to semi decency.
Its going to be called “Russia Russia Russia”
The Brady Bunch secretly infiltrates the Trump Team using Marcia as its key spy.
Marcia, for all her reportedly hard living, has still got in going on at 62.
Golf on TV? Nap time.
“Here’s a story of a man named Brady...” OK, that’s enough.
In fact, to me, the two youngest on the show now look like the two oldest. You just never know how people will age.
It’s nice for them that they’re all still alive.
“”I wonder? In 40 more years will the children of the Gallaghers get together for a 50th anniversary reunion?””
Frank will still be boozing it up. LOL
“Who are the Brady Bunch? I think some people on TV?”
Yeah, we get it. You are too high culture to ever have known.
Wasn’t there an X-Files epi featuring it?
With the son from “Married With Children”, iirc.
The house didn’t have any toilets (they never showed them), and I don’t recall ever seeing the inside of Alices’ room.
