The Brady Kids

I didn't think there could be a show as annoying and bad as The Brady Bunch, but then I watched this show. This show made less sense than it's live counter part. Would someone please tell me what the point of a talking bird who can perform magic was? And I'm telling you this much, I think less of Superman and his owners for letting him appear on this waste of paper.

When I think of this show, I wonder how this ever got on the air. You have the Brady kids sans their parents Mike and Carol and their housekeeper Alice. Replacing them are a big dog named Moptop, a magical talking mynah bird named Marlin and a pair of annoying pandas named Ping and Pong. Also, this show allowed the kids to display their musical talents, which were marginal at best. Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams had semi-successful singing careers, but with the awful bubblegum pop tunes they were handed on this show you wonder how they were able to get their singing careers off the ground.

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!

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!

This wasn't a bad show, It was one of many Filmation animated adaptations of popular T.V. shows, ex (My Favorite Martians, Gilligan's Planet,etc). This show was also the first to feature the DC comic book character Wonder Woman in animated form. It also featured a crossover episode with Mission:Magic! which featured an animated Rick Springfield. Each week the kids would perform a musical number a la The Archies. The original cast provided the voices for the first season. For the second season Maureen McCormick (Marcia) and Barry Williams (Greg) didn't return. Their voices were done by Lou Scheimer's two children Ericka and Lane.
