The Brady Kids

I've wanted this series for a long time, based mostly on memories and nostalgia, especially from the Tim Matheson on Mushrooms scene in the otherwise horrible Brady movie sequel. The animation is cheap and there's a magic bird and two pandas that aren't needed.

I understand the whole premise was to have the kids go on adventures that couldn't be filmed in real life, but if you get too weird, there's nothing to relate to, or a story to relate with or be entertained by.

And while not being a bad trip, it's mostly just a lousy one. Big let-down. Nice to hear the real voices though. Makes you wish they had more input instead of Larry Storch's lame voice-overs for all those silly imposing fantastical creatures that never feel like characters, but more like, intrusions.

This show had pretty good merit if you accept it as a kid's show. It was the guest appearance of characters that you couldn't even imagine seeing on the live "Brady Bunch" show. What chance would you think that The Brady Kids would meet up with Superman, Lone Ranger & Tonto, Wonder Woman, Clint Flint, Charlie Chan, and so many others! I guess the appearance of these characters were used in the same fashion as "The New Scooby-Doo Movies".

The magical bird called "Merlin" was cute! He was always during spells and winds up causing disasters. I always wish that they could have used the Kids from the Partridge Family to make a guest appearance on this show, because they are so comparable!

Let's face it: in the '70s, EVERYONE had a cartoon series. Even people who didn't need one.

Case in point: "The Brady Kids".

The original kids (for the most part) did their own voices and live in the suburbs without Mike, Carol and Alice but with a magical mynah bird voiced by Larry Storch. Don't look at me: I just report the facts.

I remember it very well and also the quality of the show itself. In a word: yuck. In two words: yuck gag. In three: yuck gag barf.

Even with cartoon appearances by Superman, The Lone Ranger and other animated heroes and musical interludes, this only serves to remind one of "Scooby-Doo" in the same way a fancy car makes you think of a flat tire (Scooby and the gang being the car).

I usually remember the cartoons of my youth with some fondness. Not here: "The Brady Kids" make you only yearn for stricter child labor laws.

And no, I don't have these on video. Would anyone WANT TO?

No stars for this very "Brady" disaster.

I was a kid when i saw this show and it was silly it's the brady kids what can you expect. it's a cartoon. most cartoons in the 70s were either rock groups or mystory solving slueths. personelly i liked scooby doo better. oh and the osmonds and the jackson 5 were pretty good too. rchaney101

I saw my first glimpse of this atrocity about 4 years ago when Nickelodeon aired it on that old summer program they used to air called "Nick in the afternoon". This show really sucked. It was bad enough to have the Brady Bunch, but having the kids on the Brady Bunch have their own Saturday morning cartoon is insane. C'mon who thought that a talking bird who could perform magic could be entertaining?! Apparently the people who made this show thought it was, especially due to the fact that they were probably smoking something too. Not only that, this show was also made by Filmation which is quite know as "The worst cartoon studio in the world".

If you see the kids from the Brady Bunch animated avoid at all costs!
