    Deadline:
    With this being multi-cam on CBS, the chances of this being terrible vastly outweigh the chances of it being good. Though, I do like that it's a continuation as opposed to a remake. I wonder if they'd even consider casting Mike Lookinland as the lead, or if they want to go with someone new right off the bat.

    Lol...oh boy...I think this screams disastah all over it.

    But I cant see them getting the originals back, atleast not Bobby since they wouldnt meet todays standards of good looking enough. But I guess this wouldnt be the first time they recasted a brady. It was weird seeing a new Marcia for one of the reunions.

    The premise of Bobby and his new wife having a baby of his own actually makes me think of Step by Step more than The Brady Bunch. It also makes me wonder why they never had Carol and Mike have a kid of their own on the original.

    They probably didnt want the audience to think that they had sex.

    I think it would be safer and easier if they just started fresh instead of continuing the original bradyverse.

    Robert Reed didn't want the audience to think that they had sex.

    Well this is interesting. On one hand I do hate so many reboots, but other its nice to see it may be a continuation from originals and its spinoffs. So i probably at least check out first episode and if they have any other braady siblings appear.

    Please don't do this because I'll eventually have to see a commercial for the show and that alone sounds like too much to watch of this.

    The show was just too "of it's time" for this to ever possibly work. That's why the films were parodies with the family still being stuck in that era, and having to deal with present day folks.

    With Hawaii Five-0, the hook was the locale. With Battlestar Galactica, the hook was the sci-fi with humans vs. machines. With The Munsters, the hook is a family of monsters. Thus, updates for those can work. What's the hook for the Brady Bunch? Step-siblings? Nah. It's the era.

    Didn't Marcia battle alcoholism in the Brady brides?

    I always thought Step By Step was the updated version of The Brady Bunch...
