Excerpts

“What would be a smooth, seamless, fold for The Brady Bunch as a variety show? What would you do? Anything, I think, would probably be bizarre.” - Barry Williams (Greg Brady)

"I loved it. I thought it was great to be back with everybody. It struck me as very strange, but I thought Sid and Marty Krofft must know what they’re doing.”  - Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)

“I thought the Variety Hour was stupid. It wasn’t something I wanted to do. Singing and dancing for me is like a foreign language. The biggest question was how did they get this away from Sherwood Schwartz?” - Chris Knight (Peter Brady)

“The Brady Bunch Variety Hour never goes away. I don’t mind being called ‘Fake Jan.’ It gives me my own identity. I just had to whine ‘I wish I were dead’ a lot!” - Geri Reischl (Jan Brady)

“I didn’t enjoy the Variety Hour, and I kind of wanted to forget about it. I was just a kid so I wasn’t as involved as some people undoubtedly were, but we’re talking sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll, big time.” - Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady)

“It was very difficult to turn down anything that was Brady at the time and a chance to work with my friends. This was before I was bludgeoned with all the various, embarrassing incarnations of The Brady Bunch. Now when they talk about getting us together for something it is a very frightening thought.”  - Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady)

“The Kroffts made a deliberate decision to avoid letting the idea get away from them. If I had been put in force to do a variety hour with The Brady Bunch it would have been a different kind of show. But I didn’t know about it until the deed was done.” - Sherwood Schwartz (Creator - The Brady Bunch)

“It was more camp than it was anything. I knew the Bradys couldn’t sing and dance, I just thought people would take it as tongue-in-cheek.” - Sid Krofft (Producer)

“They’re still talking about The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. I think it’s an honor. That means it’s unforgettable. We never did the norm, I think we were always ahead of our time, and I think we still are.” - Marty Krofft (Producer)

“We all figured, what are they going to do next? They stretched it to death. That rubber band is going to break! How much can you pull? Please! That rabbit died in the hat but they keep pulling it out.” - Rip Taylor (Mr. Merill)
