It was on Friday evening, along with the Partridge Family. These shows became icons as new generations of kids discovered them. I remember watching all those episodes at the time and wouldn’t miss the program. It became a part of pop culture once the series ended and started a long run in syndication. It was harmless fun, just like other programs from the 70s.

Many teenage girls loved Greg, and thought Marcia was pretty cool also.

Face it – I was a fan of the Brady Bunch and – like other girls my age at the time – had a crush on Greg Brady, so “Growing Up Brady – I Was a Teenage Greg” really piqued my interest.

During the run of the television show, the cast recorded several record albums: Spin-offs and sequels Spoiler warning: Several sequels to the original series were made, featuring all or most of the original cast. The reunion movie featured the entire original cast; this would prove to be the only time the entire cast worked together on a single project following the cancellation of the original series. The series had Marcia and Jan both married and both couples living together.

The clashes between Jan’s uptight husband, Phillip Covington III a college professor who was several years older than Jan , and Marcia’s more slobbish partner, Wally Logan a salesman who could never seem to keep a job , were the pivot on which many of the stories were based. Mike is still an architect; Carol is a realtor; Greg is either a GP or an obstetrician; Marcia is a stay-at-home mom; Peter works in an office; Cindy is in college; Bobby was in graduate school studying for business but quit to drive race cars.

After a series of pratfalls to get the family together, everyone comes home harboring various secrets e. Alice, meanwhile, temporarily moves back in with Mike and Carol after her husband, Sam the butcher , runs off with another woman. For an unknown reason, Allan Melvin did not play Sam in this movie.
