    A Very Brady Renovation



    This Monday on HGTV will be the A Very Brady Renovation! So who is going to watch this?

    Here is a fact that is strange but true:

    HGTV has transformed the old Brady house into an exact replica of the sitcom’s set... but there's one addition that isn’t true to the original.


    I still think that the garage should be turned into a souvenir shop! HGTV should also have worked at a deal with Mego to offer exclusive Brady Bunch Megos! I mean if Cooterville can offer ReMego Dukes of Hazzard why not Brady House offer actually Megos!

    I'll most likely watch it.

    Watched Peter, Marcia and Cindy on Chopped last week (BTW, Marcia looks hot again)

      I’m definitely watching it. I’ve watched the tidbits with Peter, etc...like Mike did.

      It all started in the last Fast N Loud episode, which I watched. They restored a station wagon for the show...



      Barry “Greg Brady” Williams appears throughout the show...and the rest of The Bradys show up at the end...

      And yes, Marcia is looking great...

            Just watched the car video. Thanks for posting. I was worried they were going to go too far and make it look unrecognizable. I could have done without the black hood and side detail/logo, but otherwise I love it.

            And there was likely nothing wrong with the new fuel pump. that was user error.

            PS - Why does Marcia look younger and way better than her younger sisters?

                  I recorded this, completely assuming I would scan through it and maybe look at some of the reveals. I ended up watching the entire thing. It was a lot more fun than I thought. I love how much effort they put in to perfectly re-creating the house.

                    I thought it was great, as did my wife. Did anyone notice Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormack barely acknowledged each other? They supposedly had a falling out years ago when Maureen said somewhere that they fooled around with each other. Eve denies that.

                      The first episode was a lot of fun. I look forward to the rest of the series and renovation. It’s in my wheelhouse and therefore it’s endlessly fascinating.

                        It’s fun.

                        But...

                        A couple of gripes.

                        They all trying to make perfection, trying to match fantasy and reality. From the exact color of the house. Trying to match the staircase. Dinning table. Front window, etc.

                        But the front door? Complete mismatch. Different pattern, different color.

                        Also, the entrance, living room, kitchen..that’s the iconic part of the house. It’s the pinnacle. The zenith. You just can’t top that, period.

                        Next episodes will not remotely rival the first episode. Master bedroom? Kids bedrooms? Attic placed on basement?

                        Not the same impact...

                          Eve is the Brady kid who seemed to have the most resentment over the shadow that role cast over her career.

                          Eve Plumb is arguable the best actress of the bunch...her later acting roles reflect that...

                            It's funny the stupid little detail that bothered me was in the colored plastic rectangles above the staircase-



                            Well, bothered is too strong of word. Let's say "noticed." I realize its absolutely impossible to recreate the place exactly. I'm quite impressed with how close they did come.

                            They used smooth colored plastic to replace, but the original had that textured surface so popular in the 60's and 70's. I guess I was disappointed because the textured versions that served as room dividers or highlights in other furniture just ooze 70's. We had them in the little sliding doors of our Spanish style dark wood coffee table and matching wrought metal lamps.

                              With the second episode, it just got better. I’m truly enjoying it and am happy to know that this is the fate of the home. A fan of the show couldn’t hope for any better, I think.
