The Brady Kids Audience Reviews

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
rcj5365 Like executive producer Sherwood Schwartz's "Gilligan Island",the series "The Brady Bunch" was a moderately popular sitcom that ran for five seasons in prime-time for ABC-TV from September 20,1969 until March 8,1974,producing 117 episodes. This was a very popular sitcom that premiered in the late 1960's and gained familiarity with young viewers in countless reruns during the 1970's,and well into the 1980's and to this day continues in repeated episodes that are shown in syndication becoming a camp affection among it's legion of fans who are devoted to the show. The show produced several spinoffs and several revivals by the way during the 1970's and 1980's and well into the 1990's. It is also to point out that Sherwood Schwartz,who was the executive producer of both "Gilligan's Island",and "The Brady Bunch" was also one of the head writers for "The Red Skelton Show". It wasn't until the early 1970's when "The Brady Bunch" would make the jump from prime-time into the venture of Saturday Morning cartoons.In September of 1972,the animated series "The Brady Kids",produced for Filmation Associates/Paramount Television and produced by Norm Prescott and Lou Scheimer under executive producer Sherwood Schwartz,ran for two seasons on ABC as part of ABC's Sunshine Saturday morning line-up of cartoons from September 16,1972 until August 31,1974. This cartoon only featured the kids,and was adjunct to the prime-time series(which was still on the air when this animated version premiered)only this time around minus the parents Mike and Carol Brady(played respectively by Robert Reed and Florence Henderson), and the housekeeper Alice(played by Ann B. Davis)and having the kids in their own adventures. This time the kids,Greg(Barry Williams),Jan (Eve Plumb),Marcia(Maureen McCormick),Cindy(Susan Olsen),Bobby(Mike Lookinland),and Peter(Christopher Knight)get into some various misadventures alongside certain special guests to whom the kids would meet along the way. You get to see the kids get into some adventures with DC Comic characters Wonder Woman and Superman;The Lone Ranger and Tonto;detective Charlie Chan;not to mention the cast of Mission:Magic! with the talents of Rick Springfield(in animated form). This was on the same ground as "The Scooby Doo Movies" which premiered the same year as this show but on another network.Other characters that the kids encountered were that of Marlon,a wisecracking black myna bird complete with a twirling tail and a wizard's cap and then there is Ping and Pong,two comical twin pandas from China(voiced by Larry Storch of F-Troop fame),and a dog named Mop Top(who resembled a tan version of The Archies' Hot Dog since on the prime-time sitcom,the family pooch named Tiger was gone after the first season). The latter part of the show featured the kids singing bubblegum tunes in the form of The Archies. The show's pilot aired a week before the series debuted on The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie. However,after the first season,both Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick left and they were replaced by Lane Scheimer(the son of Lou Scheimer did the voice-over for Greg)and his sister Erica Scheimer(Lou's daughter who did the voice-over for Marcia). After the series left ABC in 1974,repeated episodes of the series continue on its Sunday Morning roster until January of 1975. This was several of the Filmation produced animated shows based on prime-time TV series including "Gilligan's Island","My Favorite Martian","Lassie",and the animated version based on Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek".
dfloyd30 This wasn't a bad show, It was one of many Filmation animated adaptations of popular T.V. shows, ex (My Favorite Martians, Gilligan's Planet,etc). This show was also the first to feature the DC comic book character Wonder Woman in animated form. It also featured a crossover episode with Mission:Magic! which featured an animated Rick Springfield. Each week the kids would perform a musical number a la The Archies. The original cast provided the voices for the first season. For the second season Maureen McCormick (Marcia) and Barry Williams (Greg) didn't return. Their voices were done by Lou Scheimer's two children Ericka and Lane.
blocherd This show had pretty good merit if you accept it as a kid's show. It was the guest appearance of characters that you couldn't even imagine seeing on the live "Brady Bunch" show. What chance would you think that The Brady Kids would meet up with Superman, Lone Ranger & Tonto, Wonder Woman, Clint Flint, Charlie Chan, and so many others! I guess the appearance of these characters were used in the same fashion as "The New Scooby-Doo Movies".The magical bird called "Merlin" was cute! He was always during spells and winds up causing disasters. I always wish that they could have used the Kids from the Partridge Family to make a guest appearance on this show, because they are so comparable!
rchaney101 I was a kid when i saw this show and it was silly it's the brady kids what can you expect. it's a cartoon. most cartoons in the 70s were either rock groups or mystory solving slueths. personelly i liked scooby doo better. oh and the osmonds and the jackson 5 were pretty good too. rchaney101
