Brady Bunch secrets revealed by little Cindy.

Hook-ups, shoplifting, drug dealing, oh my.

I read about the doghouse hook-up in The National Enquirer‎ back in the 90s.

Really, R1.

I can't wait for the next revelation about Greg and Carol going out for lunch or dinner or whatever the hell it was.

Are any of these reveals supposed to be shocking? They've all been printed and discussed for quite some time, including by the cast members themselves.

Is the Brady Bunch big in Australia?

I think they talked about that before R2. They denied they had sex, which was the long-standing rumor.

So Brady sin/dickation came long before their syndication.

Yes, why is Maureen McCormick Australia's little darling?

[quote] Eve (who played Jan Brady) always had a crush on Chris (Peter Brady), they did kind of hook up later on.

How does someone "kind of hook up"? That's like being "kind of pregnant" or "kind of dead".

I have a friend who knows Susan. Olson quite well. Recently the cast was contacted to secure their approval for letting an ad agency use their recording of Sunshine Day for a commercial which would have meant money for all of them. Maureen McCormick refused which nixed the project and Susan took to Facebook bashing Maureen and stating everyone had it wrong thinking Eve was the "difficult" one all these years. Supposedly her attack got quite vicious, causing Susan's Facebook friends to chastise her for hashing this out so publicly so she removed the (multiple) posts.

So bizarre that all the drama from this cast seems to have built up to a boiling point over the years. You'd think they'd have gotten over any hurts and issues years ago but instead it all just seems to increase as time goes on.

Surely Maureen could use the cash? What's her beef?

Did Mike and Maureen do drugs together?

This and other burning questions on the next As Mike Brady Turns in His Grave.

In her book, MM talks about how she found religion which helped her get sober. Maybe she didn't approve of the product, whatever it was. Though you'd think she had to sign off on that terrible Snickers commercial since it used her likeness so it's hard to imagine her being super selective.

Maybe it's just spite/vindictiveness.

Whatever happened to the actor who played cousin Oliver?

R11, Because Maureen is a SERIOUS actor!

I wonder if Bobby got any perks from suck ups when he was the safety monitor at school?

Robbie Rist (Cousin Oliver) still does a lot of voice work and shows up at those autograph shows, often with some of the other Brady kids.

Robbie Rist aka Cousin Oliver was the school bus driver in the first Sharknado movie. He was just as irritating in that as he was on The Brady Bunch

[quote]So bizarre that all the drama from this cast seems to have built up to a boiling point over the years. You'd think they'd have gotten over any hurts and issues years ago but instead it all just seems to increase as time goes on.

My theory is that they're all very bitter that the Brady Bunch typecast them forever, and none of them were able to make the transition to successful adult actors. They're pissed, so they take their shit out on each other.

BTW, was Ann B. Davis a dyke or not?

Yeah, typecasting can be a bitch.

Contrary to popular belief, Robert Reed did not die of AIDS. Although he was HIV-positive, his actual cause of death was colon cancer.

But whatever happened to TIGER?

If Susan were really smart,she would have titled her book, "I Know A Thecret..."

R19 God, yes she was a huge dyke. The dykiest dyke that ever dyked. Other than Constance Ford, that is!

Thindy lookth dykey.

Didn't someone here report that her FB posts were rabidly right wing?

R24, from what I've read, Ann B. Davis was a dyke, but abstained from sex because she was involved in some kind of gay but celibate Christian denomination. For some reason I can believe that Ann and other lesbians can control themselves, but I doubt that the men could.

[quote]Recently the cast was contacted to secure their approval for letting an ad agency use their recording of Sunshine Day for a commercial which would have meant money for all of them. Maureen McCormick refused which nixed the project

I would be interested to know more of these details since by now, many of the 'Brady kids' could probably use the money. Why did Maureen refuse the project? Was it something understandably legitimate, or did she think this project would hurt her image--which at this point--come on?!

It's hard to transition from a child star to adult working actor, so I can see why many of the Bradys have fallen off the radar and out of the public eye. It's a tough business, and if the Sunshine Day commercial paid sufficiently, some of these people don't have many show business options at this point.

[quote] gay but celibate Christian denomination

I think she became an Episcopalian minister.

Do you think any of them are really hurting for money?

There was the original Brady Bunch. The Brady Bunch cartoon. The Variety Show. The Brady Brides. Two or three reunion specials. Are they really hurting for money? Their franchise was much bigger than The Partridge Family.

[quote]The dykiest dyke that ever dyked. Other than Constance Ford, that is!

What am I, chopped liver?

Howard Leeds works into all of this somehow. He was a producer on this show, then he went on to do [italic]Diff'rent Strokes[/italic] (enough said) and [italic]Small Wonder[/italic] (which accurately predicted Jerry Supiran would be homeless one day). Barry Williams describes him in his book as someone who didn't seem to like kids.

[quote]Do you think any of them are really hurting for money?

If they don't need money it's not because of "The Brady Bunch." They made almost nothing from the original series and while I'm sure they got okay money to return for all the various spinoffs/specials it wasn't long-lasting. All the interview shows and autograph shows are easy extra money for them.

I'm more surprised they still have to get permission from all of them in order to use the song. I'd assume the recording is owned by Paramount or whatever company now owns the "Brady" TV series.

I remember when the spoof movie came out in the 90s one of the original cast commented they were surprised when the movie cast broke into song and they were just lip-synching to the original Brady recording. Apparently they didn't have to sign off on the rights then.

I sort of love how she slyly keeps throwing Maureen under the bus in the interview, ha!

Maureen was probably the Melissa Sue Anderson of their set.

Isn't Susan Olsen a libertarian, conspiracy-theory, Obama hating cunt? Someone posted a link to her ranting a couple of years ago,

She had a lot of nice things to say about marriage equality.

Cindy is still a tattle tale

From what I understand she is pro gay so why is she trashed as a conservative?

Also Reed was very handsome before he fried his hair. He came off as a totally straight family man.

That's not the only place he came!

[quote] From what I understand she is pro gay so why is she trashed as a conservative?

Because she spouts idiotic Republican trash.

[quote] Also Reed was very handsome before he fried his hair. He came off as a totally straight family man.

Reed didn't fry his hair. His hair was naturally curly. Humid weather caused his hair to revert to its natural state.

This is ok, Kid, but if you really want to sell it and make some real money, let's consider some other titles:

"A Brady Bunch Threesome: Thindy, Bobby, and Kitty Karryall Get IT On Behind the Scenes"

"Thindy Brady: the Story of a Tiny Tweaker"

"Dawn: the Story of a Teenage Prostitute and her Pre-Teen Sista Cindy also Working in the Biz"

"Our House Had No Toilets: Making Out Wasn't the Only Thing We Did in That Yard"

Maureen's THIS close to a smack in the face with THE SHIT-BRA !

R35 What is that comment supposed to mean?

What about Cindy? Is she now a Trumptard?

Maureen was on the first season of the Australian version of "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!" and did very well on it--she almost made it to the last episode. It's apparently a very popular show in Australia.

The other two sisters will always hate her for being the pretty one.

[R33] is totally correct -The kids don't own the rights to the recording. Also, as a pre-1981 show, any royalties from their Brady Bunch work would have ended quite some time ago.

Check out her FB page, R46, and you'll see what a crazed idiot she is.

[quote]What about Cindy? Is she now a Trumptard?

Yes. I've gotten into several online arguments with her til she banned me.

[quote]if the Sunshine Day commercial paid sufficiently, some of these people don't have many show business options at this point.

There’s your most likely answer - the pay was probably scale, or close to it.

That’s not much when this was most likely a buy-out rather than running with residuals.

She probably held out for decent pay, and the production company balked.

Snickers coffers are deep. This prod. co. was probably rinky-dink.

Barry Williams has done well. Christopher Knight has a furniture collection and other businesses and he seems to have done well. I'm not sure about the others.

From the recent Brady Home renovation episodes, Mo and Eve seemed to get on with each other better now--time and age (and, yeah, a great paycheck offering) all probably do help to put things in better perspective.

Trying to find Susan Olson's Facebook page where she rages about politics, but can't locate it. Anyone know how to find it?

Ugh. Barry Williams is Repug.

Thee you on the thee thaw, Thindy!

Eve and Mo were on HGTV recently where they remotely helped families decorate their homes. Eve has legitimate artistic talent and should do more of this type of show. Mo has stage presence but sounds fake as fuck most of the time. Notice they don’t ask Susan to do these as I picture her in a smoke filled, white trash decorated trailer.

[quote]Ugh. Barry Williams is Repug.

Judging from her Twitter feed, Eve Plumb is definitely not.
