Brady Bunch Home Movies

Summary: Thanks to Robert Reed....
Review: ...all "Brady" kids got 8 mm silent movie cameras as gifts. The movies they made with these cameras is what basically makes up this television special. Better and more interesting than most of the Brady specials/documentaries. This special was put together by Susan Olsen (Cindy), which gives it some genuine Brady cred. Cast members are present as well to lend commentary where appropriate. Some footage is from the cruise Robert Reed took the kids on (the trip where Greg tried to put the moves on Marcia, er, rather, Barry tried to put the moves on Maureen). Surprising it didn't air more than once.
Fairly light-hearted throughout, and members affectionately remember Reed toward the end.

Summary: Much more interesting than the original series
Review: Before reality TV swept the nation, Robert Reed (who played dad Mike Brady) had the genius idea to take ALL of the kids on vacation with him and give them portable cameras to record the event.

Even if it ruinned the serenity of his usually quiet vacations, this same decision would ultimately provide the BEST footage of the 'Bradys' as most people never saw them previously. Thus, unlike a lot of retrospective titles, this entry consistently keeps audience interest.

As chronicled in Growing up Brady: I was a teenage Greg, these movies ultimately provided lot more realistic depiction of the six kids than anything Sherwood Schwartz wanted to produce. Like other teens their age, the 'Brady Bunch''s young actors coupled up and made out with each other There is some really interesting commentary on these films.

Reed might have gained intra-set infamy for his opposition to bubblegum plotlines, but this is easily overshadowed by his genuine concern for all of the kids. Before he died of complications from AIDS, many of the kids honestly considered Reed their second father. The tribute included in this DVD stresses that the sentiment the kids and Reed felt towards each other genuinely was familial.

Summary: Like a Cheesy Info-mercial...
Review: Eve Plumb seems to be the only former Brady that's made anything of herself that isn't totally focused on the Brady-glory-days. She's an established artist! The 2 stars are for her alone. Seeing her with her art work was worth watching the disk...but not worth owning it.

Oh, Ann B. Davis is really cool too! She's a stage performer now.

If you're a Die-Hard Brady Fan and can't get enough of 'em then this disk is for you. Sure, you'll see some of their home movies...they say "Never before seen footage..." But, none of it was a real big suprise to me. I've seen their home movie footage on several TV Tabloids, encluding E True Hollywood. Their playful banter with each other seems VERY scripted and phoney.

Personally, I'd like my Brady Memories to remain with the show that made them all famous to begin with.

Bring their Series episodes to DVD Format. I'd line up to buy those! I'm not kidding!!!!

This was too cheesy.

Summary: Very nice
Review: I loved this DVD. It was funny and touching at times (especially the cast member's tribute to Robert Reed). I had never heard of a "Super 8 camera" before, so I enjoyed seeing what it could do and the quality of it was really good. The whole content of this DVD was absolutely wonderful and the stories to go along with it were equally funny and touching.

Summary: I Enjoyed Watching it!
Review: I rememer watching Brady Bunch Home movies when it was shown on CBS in 1995 and having been a big fan of the Brady Bunch when I was a kid in the 70's I had to watch this CBS special and I wasn't disappointed and thought it was pretty good but I think you have to be a diehard Brady Bunch fan to enjoy this because if you aren't you will probably just find this special boring! BTW: I hope that they will also put the classic sitcom on DVD in complete season boxsets!

"Brady Bunch home movies" is an amazing look behind-the-scenes at one of the worlds best known, and loved TV shows. Robert Reed (Mike Brady) gave each of the "Brady Kids" a super 8mm video camera their first Christmas together. The kids spent the next 5 years (during breaks from filming The Brady Bunch) making their own home movies. This rare look at the entire cast and crew, along with early auditions, commercials and a "where are they now" segment, make "Brady Bunch Home Movies" a must in ANY Brady collection!
