NAMES IN THE NEWS : ‘Brady Bunch’ Gets Bigger
“The Brady Bunch” is now a different bunch, so a sequel involves new roles.
“The Bradys,” an hourlong comedy in production by CBS-TV, should be broadcast sometime next year with several original cast members, including Florence Henderson and Robert Reed.
The children on the hit television comedy that ran from 1969 to 1974 have grown up and had children of their own.
The shows will offer the continuing tale of the Brady clan, with the parents now grandparents and several of the “kids” raising a brood of their own.
Other returning cast members include Ann B. Davis as Alice the housekeeper; Barry Williams as Greg Brady; Christopher Knight as Peter Brady; Michael Lookinland as Bobby Brady; Eve Plumb as Jan Brady; and Susan Olsen as Cindy Brady.
In recent years, several Brady family reunion specials have drawn good ratings, including last year’s “A Very Brady Christmas,” which will be rerun from 9 to 11 tonight on CBS.
