Brady Bunch Home Movies
CBS
May 24, 1995
Documentary
DVD
B-
Pardon the pun, but this is a little unfocused. Is it, like Bradymania two years earlier, a look at the "phenomenon" of BBunch? Is it a look at what the cast did before and after the series? Is it a behind-the-scenes presentation, including of the "home" movies the kids shot after Robert Reed bought them hand-held cameras? A little of all of that I guess, sometimes paired with odd background music, e.g. "Tequila." I do like the tribute to Reed and that they got six of the surviving eight onstage together. (Maureen and Eve's segments were shot separately, but it is interesting to see that they were actually much better friends than you would now think.) Note that a couple clips from Day by Day appear, as do clips from the various spin-offs. I'm not tagging all the other folks who appear, including co-producer of this special Lloyd Schwartz and Bob Cummings in a clip from his '50s show, but yeah, again Jerry Houser has to be omitted.
