The Brady Bunch might remain one of the beloved sitcoms in television history, but if you were to ask Gary Cole and Shelley Long, the stars of the two Brady Bunch movies were hardly fans of the original series.
As shared by People magazine, Long and Cole, who would of course go on to star in 1995’s The Brady Bunch Movie and its immediate follow-up A Very Brady Sequel, have both said over the years that weren’t avid viewers when it came to the long-running ABC comedy series, The Brady Bunch.
“I wasn’t really a Bradyite when it was first on the air,” Long once said in an interview with the Phoenix New Times back in 1995, right around the time The Brady Bunch Movie first arrived in theaters. “I wasn’t really watching any television then – I was trying to get my own career off the ground. But I heard about the Bradys, though. I knew they were doing their thing and America was talking about them.”
Similarly, Gary Cole said in a 2025 interview with Remind Magazine that he also rarely watched The Brady Bunch back in the late 1960s.
“When it came on the air, it was 1969, so I was in junior high school, and it was Friday night, which was significant,” Cole said.
“So I had one foot out the door on Friday nights, like most of my friends did,” the Office Space star continued. “So I was not in a situation where I was sitting around with my family, because I was beyond that. We were all too cool to do that then. But I do remember all my friends talking about Marcia, for obvious reasons, when you’re a teenage boy.”
Fortunately, in spite of the actors’ indifference to the source material, The Brady Bunch Movie went on to become a major financial success, grossing $54.1 million against an estimated budget of $11 million.
