Christopher Knight opened up about revisiting A Very Brady Christmas years after he filmed the 1988 TV reunion movie with his Brady Bunch co-stars. The actor, who played middle son Peter Brady on the 1970s ABC sitcom and in several spinoffs and specials, appeared on the Pop Culture Preservation Society and admitted that an initial look back for an upcoming CW presentation of the movie left him feeling uncomfortable.
“So, I just recently experienced something doing the review for the CW’s airing of A Very Brady Christmas,” Knight, 69, shared on the podcast. “I had not watched A Very Brady Christmas in a very long time, similar to when we did the episodes on The Brady Bros. podcast. And it dawned on me that a similar feeling occurred at watching, at least, the first go-pass of Very Brady Christmas, that the same feeling was there initially watching Brady episodes again. And that was it was almost horrifying, to be honest.”
“And this is not a feeling you guys can get because once you’re in it, you know how to get back there,” he shared. “So every time you turn on the episodes…that flow and actually anticipating it, wanting it. It’s the escape back to seven that I think we’re tickling.”
“Because when I first watched, and I’ll use the most recent example, the Very Brady Christmas episode, it was like God, it was stark. It was like it wasn’t funny. It was unreal,” Knight admitted. “But in having to take notes and really, you know, re-watching it, it was like, you know, going through it a second and third time, all of that whatever that discomfort was melted away and now I’m in its flow.”
Knight noted that he was able to settle back into the familiar Brady world and feel comfort after getting into the right headspace to embrace the character he debuted in 1969.
“The Bradys, when watching it, requires us to go back to our old selves, and then it becomes, you know, a warm comfort,” he said.
In 1988, A Very Brady Christmas reunited Knight with his co-stars Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland and Ann B. Davis more than a decade after the original series ended.
CBS’ December 18, 1988, broadcast was the second-highest rated TV movie of the year, only behind The Karen Carpenter Story, per a UPI archive.
In Williams’ book Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, he described the viewership as a “miracle.”
“A Very Brady Christmas was indeed a Christmas miracle,” he wrote. “MASSIVE Nielsen numbers. In fact, even capitalizing the word massive doesn’t do our ratings justice. We scored a 39 share, which means that 39% of all the televisions turned on in America were tuned in to the Bradys’ holiday heartwarmer.“
In 2026, Knight and Williams will co-host The CW’s viewing party for A Very Brady Christmas from The Brady Bunch house that the cast renovated for HGTV.
“We’ll watch it together on our 25-in diagonal television and put rabbit ears on it inside the Brady Bunch house, and then we’ll comment on what we saw and what we’re going to see and what we think about it,” Williams teased. “And we had a great time working on it and enjoy. So, I’m excited.”
A Very Brady Christmas airs Sunday, Dec. 6 on The CW.
