A Very Brady Renovation Takes Viewers Back In Time To Original Brady Bunch In Show Opening

HGTV takes a trip down memory lane in its opening to A Very Brady Renovation, its upcoming four-part The Brady Bunch reunion series.

The clip of the show opening above features footage from the original The Brady Bunch series opening, set to the series iconic theme song, interspersed with clips of the grown-up Brady family members Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy), and HGTVs renovation stars Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers: Forever Home), Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), siblings Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Lara Spencer (Flea Market Flip).

The Brady Bunch cast reunion comes more than 15 years after the series wrapped its fifth and final season.

A Very Brady Renovation chronicles the journey of a major home makeover for the Brady Bunch house, which began with the networks purchased of the world-famous North Hollywood house in 2018. The series will unveil the transformation that took place. HGTV cameras captured more than 9,000 hours of the demo, renovation and meticulous replication of the house.

“A Very Brady Renovation is the programming event of the year that Brady Bunch and HGTV superfans have been waiting for,” said Jane Latman, president, HGTV. “HGTV and the Brady Bunch house together is as big as we anticipated, and its been fun to see and hear how everyone lights up with excitement whenever we mention anything related to Brady.”

After their initial tour of the house, which looks nothing like the original studio set, the Brady cast and HGTV stars begin the renovation and replication. HGTV added 2,000 square feet to the original footprint of the house—all without compromising its recognizable street view. Jonathan and Drew pair up with Maureen and Susan to tackle the entryway, living room, iconic floating staircase and dining room, and the brothers also work with Christopher on the exterior overhaul.

Throughout the rest of the season, Christopher and Eve recreate the orange and green kitchen and family room with Leanne and Steve; Mike and Susan join forces with Mina and Karen to overhaul the kids bedrooms and the Jack-and-Jill bathroom as well as the backyard; Barry and Jasmine take on Mikes den; Barry, Jasmine and Lara makeover Gregs attic; and Eve and Lara recreate Alices bedroom.

“There are so many elements that had to come together to make this thing work. Its almost unfathomable,” Williams said at TCA in JuRead More – Source
