The Brady's
Ok, I saw the recent rash of posts today (talk about last minute!) and I felt obligated to contribute my bit (all we need is a post from Rob to complete the circle).I was Wiki surfing the other day and came across The Brady's. Now as far as post-Brady Bunch shows I've only heard of the A Very Brady Christmas special as it seems to air every Christmas, but I have to admit The Brady's caught me off guard. It only had six episodes but just read what some of the events entailed...
- Bobby's budding car-racing career ends abruptly in the first episode after an accident leaves him a paraplegic.
- Peter breaks up with his fiancée, to whom he became engaged in A Very Brady Christmas.
- Jan and Phillip, unable to conceive children of their own, adopt a Korean girl.
- Stay-at-home mother Marcia battles alcoholism while Wally loses yet another in a series of jobs, the latest being Mike's campaign manager.
- Wally and Marcia, who along with their two children have been forced to move in with Mike and Carol, eventually decide to open their own catering business to support their family.
- Radio host Cindy begins a romantic interest with her boss, a widower more than 10 years her senior who has two children.
And here's the kicker...
"Despite the more downbeat tone, the show did feature a laugh track at certain moments."
What was going on in the Brady household?

LOL. What kind of link from Wikipedia brought you to the Bradys?
Sounds like converting the saccharin sweet innocence of the original series into a contemporary adult drama was a disaster. Makes me want to find and download the series on the net now!
I was googling for the actual address of the real Brady house (the single story one they filmed) and came across the wiki link. The house is pretty close to cousin Gary's. I say we do a road trip the next time we go over.
If anybody can find these "lost" episodes it's you Rob!
