But that STAIRCASE! Where else could the Bradys pose for their annual Christmas card?

Quack

Updates...from TVShowsondvd.com

21 disc box set with the following

-A Very Brady Christmas (TV Movie)
-The Brady 500 (pilot from 1990 series)
-Episodes from "The Brady Kids" animated series

And they've been told the stuff on the box is "shag carpet".

Still looks like a nice pick up.

Man, this sucks, I want the Brady Bunch Christmas! I already have all the season sets...what to do, what to do?

matome

It looks as if the studios have successfully found a way to get people to actually double-dip on TV season sets.

I'll pass.

Trevor

This is a must buy for me, as The Brady Bunch was a huge part of my formative youth. It was a weekly must see when it aired originally, and then in re-runs also. I usually buy seasons as they come, but for once, I waited.

The Valeyard

I'm all over this release!

RoboDad

Same here. And I am very glad I waited, too. Come to think of it, this will be the third time I've managed to hold out on a buying the individual seasons of a series, and in recent months been able to get a really nice full series set (the first was Alias, then M*A*S*H, and now the Brady's).

TomOpus

Sure paid off waiting for this. Of course along with dusting off my DVDs, I'll have to start vacuuming 'em.

matome

I'm too impatient, so I could never wait . I'm actually in the midst of S3 right now. I can't believe I don't remember how lame the Grand Canyon opener was. Thankfully it gets better after that.

The box looks like the Six Feet Under Box Set.
They should have had an "oh my nose" addition

SI78

While it's kind of cool they are including 'The Brady 500' - it also doesn't make much sense seeing as that is 1/3 of the entire series.

Might as well just release the whole thing.

Alan Smithee

Way to reward those of us who bought them as they came out! Guess I'll have to acquire the material on that bonus disc through illegal means if they won't sell it separately....

Cameron

glad you said that, as i thought i remembered watching a few episodes on television. mabe someone will get a bonus disc...

they could have also given the movie parody/remakes just to have the who shebang in one box

reminds me of the ed wood vhs box set



that thing got nasty on video store shelves after a while

edit to add from IMDB

The Brady Brides
The Brady Girls Get Married (1981) ? has anyone ever seen this?

"The Bradys" (1990) List episode 1,2,3,5,6 - I thought this was the brady 500 first episode

SI78

"The Brady Girls Get Married" is just the first 3 episodes of the Brady Brides packaged as a TV movie. I don't know if it was individual episodes first or a movie first, I've seen it shown both ways. I finally tracked down a DVD of the complete series on ebay. Naturally, it is not an official release.

'The Brady 500' is the first 2 (1hr) episodes of 'The Bradys' put together as a TV movie.

JP5683

I haven't bought any of the sets because I've seen every episode approximately 2,345,452,894 times.

I've seen the Brady Brides show once. I was only four when it came out, so I saw it a few years ago, I think it was Fox/ABC Family...

I was looking all over the place for my tape of the Christmas movie so I could watch it before Christmas, I just found it on Monday and even though the holidays are over, I watched it anyways.

Now, if I could just find my tapes of The Bradys.

$92.99 shipped is not bad at all!!!

And here I went and bought all the seasons individually...

Oh, well. This might make for a good birthday present for my daughter at least. She loves the Bradys and I'm sure she'd let me borrow the extra discs.

scottp120

$96.79 from DDD and if you can hold off until the spring 20% sale (assuming they have one) then that's around $77.43 shipped.

If they release what's on the bonus disc ...
-A Very Brady Christmas (TV Movie)
-The Brady 500 (pilot from 1990 series)
-Episodes from "The Brady Kids" animated series
...as a single seperate disc for sale, then I'll just pick up that and it'll be good enough. I could care less about the "Shag carpet" packaging, and I've already got all the other sets, anyway. At least I got them all on sale or via BOGO sales - so I only paid about half the retail this one's going for.

I will admit that it does piss me off when the studio's double dip this way - by NOT rewarding the fans who actually cared enough to buy the sets the first go round, and without the edded extra's.

ianholm

I'm pretty sure there are only two 20% DDD sales. One in June and the other in November

Manzana

Interesting. I bought seasons 1-4 for a little under $14 each at Costco long ago. I only opened the first season. I'm wondering if I can trade these in or sell them new somewhere for at least as much as I paid ($56 + tax) and then get the box set for $92.99 or less. I never got season 5 because my price point for any TV season is $20 max.

Trevor

At a minimum, you can return them to Costco for your $ back.

Manzana

Amazon has already raised their price from $92.99 to $99.69.

I assume there are no changes in the contents of the 20 DVDs from the prior season releases? It's just new box cover/packaging + 1 DVD.

Actually, the Brady house probably has at least 3 bathrooms. 2 comfirmed. One between the kids rooms and one off Mike/Carol's bedroom. One episode showed them in the bathroom brushing their teeth and you could see their bedroom through the open door. Like some houses, there might have been another door into the hallway that we never saw. There must have been one downstairs that we never saw. Maybe the oposite side of the den or through the kitchen back where Alice lived.

As for the size compared to the family, Mike owned the house before he married Carol so it wasn't too small for him & the boys. They just never bothered to move once the family got bigger.

According to the "blueprint" in the book entitled "TV Sets" by Mark Bennett, there were indeed 3 bathrooms (the third being outside of Alice's room; just off the laundry area). Of course, the area of the house behind the kitchen was rarely seen, but there is a good glimpse of the area in the episode where Bobby fills the room with soap suds while trying to wash his own clothes.

But, the notion that the men lived in the house (the one featured on the series) before the girls moved in is incorrect. The series premier has a storyline about Bobby being concerned that he won't be allowed to take the framed photo of his deceased mom to his new house. The interior of the boys' former bedroom is featured during the episode (and even then, all three boys slept in the same room). The actual purchase of the house (and move into it) is a subject never touched on by the series (although it would have made some great TV!).
