You know what gets me about the original ending - it really hit home when I watched it again tonight - the biggest piece of shit of all of them survived and most likely went on to be the Katib Nasif of a future hijacking (yeah I know it's not a true story but we all know shit like this went down!)
I agree with all of you that Lucy definitely should’ve been on knots landing then on Dallas. Over the years Lucy ended up becoming a real underuse character where she couldn’t fit well on the spinoff but I recall when she left the show Dallas in 1985 when Bobby supposedly died that she asked to be on the spin off Knots Landing but she wasn’t allowed to do so. Then she came back to Dallas two years later and even though she was in the opening credits she wasn’t in it every single episode like he was in the beginning of the series. So yes she definitely would’ve had more storylines on Knots Landing rather than on Dallas.

Wow! I have no memory of the version with Florence Henderson singing the lyrics to the theme song. Of course I was 8 when this series came out so that might be why. I had watched the original series on TBS & A Very Brady Christmas by the time this came out so I knew all the characters (including the spouses of the grown up kids) and even at 8, I got that the vibe was very different. I remember being very thrown that not only was Maureen McCormick gone, but they had even gotten another little girl to play young Marcia in the credits. I always wondered who that little girl was and if she ever did anything else.
Why does Bobby look like he’s been in 10,000 fights and wants to fight everyone else and everyone in the world just to see how much they hurt him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At this point Mike was bedding young boys on the side, Peter was an alcoholic, Greg was a gyno, Alice had a huge gambling problem and Jan was a stripper.
This show was doomed to fail. American tastes in TV were changing during the late 1980s and early 1990s. No more strait laced, straight forward dramedy. Dysfunctional families like Married With Children and The Simpsons were arriving on Fox and America was eating those up. ABC’s Home Improvement and Roseanne started a new trend of standup comedians playing heads of miiddle class working families.Self-aware comedies like Seinfeld were right around the corner. The Brady’s was a last gasp of family soap opera in the vein of Dallas, Dynasty, and Falcon Crest. Unless they put in some sort of signature eye candy cast member like Suzanne Somers or Farrah Fawcett (they should have shown Marcia in a bikini or short shorts once in a while) this show would not be able to compete. I’m a huge Brady Bunch fan and the Brady’s was about 10 years too late.
The thing that screwed this show up was the fact the studio and writers tried to make a happy innocent sitcom from the 60s/70s into a serious angsty drama series i swear in one episode they had one of the family get paralyzed from the waist down in a car racing accident and develop depression bit of a fucked up storyline to have in a comedy bro
❤ Retro TV series greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have watched every version since 1969.....I even got to tour the actual Brady house after its transformation ❤
Should've aired in syndication or on cable like Star Trek: TNG or The New Leave it to Beaver/ Still the Beaver. Brady fandom was much broader and bigger than either of those franchises, which is why the revivals/spin-offs kept getting picked up by the networks. Unfortunately, they kept producing the wrong kind of show for the franchise to have success on the networks.
I saw the movie twice on NBC and both have the original ending that I prefer especially when one of the passengers went too trigger happy that he shot the lieutenant. I didn’t like the 2nd ending very much.
