    StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
    Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
    Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
    dsnow-1 One of the worst TV shows ever.Funny thing though, Robert Reed, who hated the Brady Bunch show, agreed to do this show.The Brady Bunch was my favorite show while I was growing up. I looked forward to it every Friday night.Personally I never cared for any of the reunion shows, though the theater movies without the original cast were pretty funny.It would have been better if they had just left the Brady Bunch in 1974 the way I remember it.Some things are better left the way they are.
    John Eveland The Brady Bunch Variety Hour is very entertaining and packed with talent. Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, and Geri Reischl are excellent singers. The dance routines combined with swimming in sync are really stunning. I loved the episodes of the original show when the kids started to sing and this gave me more of my favorite Brady moments.Tony Randall was hilarious in the opening show as always. Ann B. Davis (aka Alice) comes along in every show to provide some comic relief. There are some very entertaining Brady sketches that show moments with the Bradys at home. Sometimes, they're talking about the show. It's like you're watching a behind-the-scenes production meeting. This was a brilliant addition to the show. This type of crafting allows the viewer to escape into a world where the Bradys are actually real. The show is suitable for all age brackets without any innuendo or crude jokes. Great job as always, Brady cast!!!
    topsail33 Playing this video in an endless loop at Guantanomo would have 'em all talking! So Awful, it's fantastic! Where do I begin? What does an indoor swimming pool, dancing girls, disco songs, HR Pufnstuff, horrible and I mean horrible outfits, and the Brady Bunch have in common? Nothing! And yet they managed to cram all of this into one variety hour - no small feat! The singing - and there's lots of it - is atrocious. Greg Brady ala Elvis, the fat years, Ma Brady, and even Marcia, all have solo numbers that are spell-binding...I mean nauseating.The one gem here is if you're a Marsha fan (all of mankind), then you get to see those pretty blue eyes, and I mean pretty. Wow! Dreamy ! The tip-off that this was a disaster in the making is that it was produced by Sid and Marty Kroft - of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, HR Puf N Stuff fame. It looks like they used some of the leftover props and ugly costumes.The interview with Bobby and Cindy was interesting, but too long. Unscripted, they tended to ramble on. And the shocker was when Bobby actually said what every male with a pulse has ever thought: that everyone wanted to DO Marsha. I thought that was bizarre and also rude, since Cindy was sitting right there. I got the impression he was lamenting about not getting that opportunity.It really is indescribable how bad/good this is. It represents the absolute worst in 70's television, yet at the same time, is strangely good to see a time when corny, over done productions were on TV, and not the graphic, sexual filth that is the norm today. Truly, a classic train wreck to watch!
    lovestonerocks All I can say is Damn awful, but funny to look at , at least once. I'd like to know what the production meetings were like for this one.Personally I think Greg Should have actually broke from the group as "Johnny Bravo". It would have been bigger than Ziggy Stardust.
