Never knew they went this far with the show. I loved this show as a kid.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that they pan to Jan when Marcia says "HATE them for It"

Wally repeatedly pays ZERO attention to his surroundings when he speaks, then is clueless when people respond negatively.

Maureen McCormick was too iconic, it's impossible to see Leah Ayres as Marcia.

I’d drink if I lived in this house, too.

"Let's hear it for The Bradys! Aren't they great?" Yes, we've loved them since 1969.

First of all...who knew the Bradys had a liquor cabinet?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Susan Olsen looks very attractive during this time!!!

Wally reminds me so much of Stan Zbornak, Dorothy's husband on "Golden Girls"....it's ironic that Herb Edelman, who played Stan, also played Gene Dickinson, Mike's opponent in the council election!

I love how Bobby’s fiber optics plan was ahead of its time!

For years I've heard of this infamous episode. This was surprisingly poignant. Poor Marcia had real problems, but in true Brady fashion they were wrapped up within the hour. I think I would've actually cried if Maureen McCormick portrayed this.

Daaaamn when Marcia assertively told Carol that she was trying to teach the kids responsibilities you'd think Carol would let the kids mom call the shots. But then she's all like "Why don't you kids get in the car!!!" 😂😂😂 Carol is taking the grandkids shopping and ain't no one stopping her! Fierce bitch 🔥🔥🔥

No offense to Leah Ayers who a good actress, but couldn't they have gotten someone who look a little bit like Maureen McCormick.

Why have I never heard of these before?! Now I'm on a Brady binge!

Mom should have just threatened to sing until Marcia was on the wagon...

The music.....SO DRAMATIC.

that laugh track was FUCKED UP

I feel Marcia’s pain in this episode. I’m similar in age to where she would’ve been here, and at a similar crossroads in life. I’m bingeing these episodes right now and I’m digging them; I honestly think the acting was really good all around. Leah Ayres kinda had impossible shoes to fill playing Marcia, but she’s very talented and I think she did a great job in the role.

I have been sober for 25 years

she looked close enough, and yes she was a good actress. Very pretty!

I remember watching this on tv but I was mad because it wasn't the original Marcia

A moving episode that is -- for TV and for the Brady franchise in particular --- surprisingly realistic. If you look closely, the issues really weren't wrapped up in the "hour." Marcia said to Cindy at the end of the episode that she would be struggling with alcoholism for the rest of her life. Had the series lasted longer, they may have revisited Marcia's problem in future episodes. Also, the subplot about building the trauma center can be seen as a "time jump" that made the "hour" last many months that Marcia would have struggled with alcohol abuse -- unless somehow the Brady adults could build a trauma center as fast as the Brady kids could build a clubhouse in the old series. The episode wasn't perfect, but it was poignant, as another commenter said, and one most realistic episodes of any in the Brady franchise.

We never knew they made this thank you for the upload Johnny

That mean fashion photog made Marsha cry, bstrd. I wish these old episodes had better picture quality, it makes me want to drink.

I miss the days of Marsha's nose issues being her biggest problem.

Martha Quinn from MTV.

Now we know where Mike and Carol kept the hard stuff. They needed it to raise 6 kids.

Okay, hear me out on this. I'm 50 years old and have watched every episode of The Brady Bunch a billion times .... At 36:00, Wally and Carol come walking into the room where Marcia is at. They enter from the LEFT side of the point of view. However, Mike and Carol's room, which is where Marcia is in, is the first room coming up the stairs to the LEFT! So, this makes it look like they walked past the room and nonchalantly walked back into it from the other side. Anybody else getting this?

This all stems back to the football incident

Cast: Florence Henderson Robert Reed Leah Ayres Eve Plumb Susan Olsen Barry Williams Chris Knight Mike Lookinland Ann B. Davis

Wally was the Jared Kushner of The Bradys.

I remember the Brady Bunch I used to watch it when I was little girl

Why do Cindy and Gary seem to think they can't see each other anymore if she takes a new job? It's not like she'd be moving to a new city. Besides, don't people usually find dating more risky if it's between a boss and employee?

No one dresses casual at home.

Leah Ayres was to hot for this show. 😍

I've heard about this episode for years, but never got around to watching it. I just can't see this woman as Marcia! If it was the real thing, I think this would have been really poignant and hard to watch. But this isn't our Marcia, the little girl we watched grow up. This is, I don't know, Cousin Marge, Cousin Oliver's older sister.

It was weird not having Maureen McCormick in this episode just like not having Eve Plumb in their variety show

A liquor cabinet is just as dangerous as a gun cabinet.

I have this on dvd apart of the boxset I have

This was actually decently done

Why don’t I remember this show? 😮😮

Always knew that side room was where they partied after the kids went to bed.

Florence was now getting the spiral perms in this era? Not Robert Reed. Interesting.

I can relate to this storyline.......

I remember this! I remember my older cousin smoking weed to this show and pointing out all of the fakeness.

Being blind to see their daughter act like that is so sad this movie is so sad😢

16:38 I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the head nurse broad in Halloween II.

Marcia was like...f that noise

THAILBOAT !

21:41 Whoever thought it was a good idea to add a laugh track to this moment should have been fired.

Marcia What's wrong??? Oh Wally I just haven't been Myself Lately so I started drinking lol🤪

I never knew about this series or assortment of shows. Does anyone know why Maureen McCormick didn't participate?

A laugh track. I forgot about that.

Ohh, it's about drinking.😬🤦‍♂️

It only lasted 6 episodes personally I think it was too early for its time. If it was on today it would probably be a hit series. Obviously you'd have to change a couple things to make it work. But I think it would work. "Like Wood Work"

Carol finally got a job.

Maureen McCormick politely declined to reprise her role as Marcia Brady in the short ived 1990's CBS prime time situation comedy/drama "The Brady's"-hence-Leah Ayers "won" the role. One of the reasons for the early demise of this series was CBS airing it at 8:00 P.M. Central Time-opposite ABC's young family comedies "Full House" and "Family Matters"-which-ironically-was a then "modern" day television incarnation of what the ORIGINAL "Brady Bunch: series on ABC (1969-1974) WAS.

so this 1 season series came after the 1988 "A very Brady Christmas" movie which i think everyone loved just like i did-- why couldn't Maureen return as Marsha? anyone know?

Never seen this one without Marie McCormick

Its the new Gidget and MTVs VJ Martha Quinn

Mareen Mccormick was smart to boycott this show

The only Brady episode (not including HGTV's renovation) in which current day 11222 Dilling Street, Studio City CA, was used as a shooting location since the beginning in 1969, am I not correct? They rehung the false window in the A frame, but they did not cover the window to the right of the front entrance. This residence was built in 1959 and has withstood the decades beautifully, even before the retro renovation.

A few decades earlier and this could've been a "very special" Brady Bunch episode.

Did this show have ANY fans? Was anyone disappointed to see ABC cancel them after 6 episodes?

Just not the same without the original Marcia

No wonder Maureen McCormick wasn’t part of this! They turned Marcia into a bumbling drunkard!

That Leah Ayers was a babe though.

Peter and Wally rocking the mini mullets of the late 80s, early 90s. Hated those hair cuts

Same here my five daughters are adults married one has a little girl I am 55 years old a grandmom

No need for the laugh track

Did the Brady bunch have a reunion show ?

This is bad. I can't believe someone got paid to write this cliche drivel.

The Brady's have alcohol in the house?!

There is only one Marcia.,they could have had,Marcia doing missionary work,or doing something ,which explains her absence . This wasn’t a soap opera ,where they can replace ,and no one cares . I never cared for the Jan,or the Cindy replacements. We grew up with Maureen,Eve,and Susan .

I'm sorry but this was just not believable as a drama and the Marcia drunk scene was a bit much.

So did Bobby not grow in real life?

Idc that ain’t no damn Marsha. That’s just some whole different random child atp 😂

Where did you get this DVD was it from the Bradest Bunch DVD collection.

If Marcia was going to be an addict, they really should have gotten Maureen McCormick to play her.

I Love the Bradys and others episodes

More Brady videos please

Ar least, this was better than the Brady Bunch variety show.

Been sober all 28 years of my life. Say no to degeneracy.

When did they air the Brady Brides special? It seems Marcia's children grew to grade school age pretty quick.

I'm sure that Maureen stated in her book, that she was rather intoxicated with party favours.... Please don't quote me. Inform me. I also think her nickname at parties was "Hoover" ...

Oh snap @ that employers crack to Marsha, "while you were giving birth to the next generation, this business moved quite fast" 😂😂

With that cheesy 'stache, Greg looks like Mick Belker from "Hill Street Blues."

I always thought the bradys was a modern family

I vaguely remember this .... the parts that seem familiar are the parts with cindy and her boyfriend. My mom loved the brady bunch .... me, not so much.

Christine Taylor looks like Maureen McCormick

It doesn't make sense that Marcia would develop a drinking problem.

I hope there's better quality of these episodes

This is plain awful….

I love the part when Marcia shows up at that ceremony and makes a horrible scene. It's so un-Brady.

this would have been better if the schwartzes hired real writers that knew how to write

It been 9 years since I stopped

“Wally, Trauma Central never would have happened without you!” (Incredibly long pause) “Marcia… I’m sure you’ve done nice things too!” I mean jeez, it took Carol forever to think of what to say there 😂 “the foundation of your family” indeed.

Cindy and her boyfriend/boss having a spat in front of family friend Alice? At the workplace? The script writers were off their rocker on this attempt of a reboot!

The women who plays Marcia looks nothing like her and who is the little Asian kid. There was not one in the orginal show .

WOW, even coming before Miss America didn't give this show a boost. Even the 1985 pageant gave Gimme A Break and 227's premiere a boost in numbers which 227 was able to hold on to. CBS should have given this show another season to catch on. I would have loved to see them address Robert Reed's illness into the storyline as he would sadly end up dying in 1992. It would have been interesting to see the family react and cope with Mike's death.
