History Series / BradyBunchSpinOffs

!!Spinoffs:

* {{Retreaux}}: The opening plays in 4:3, until the addition of the renovators to the grid expands the picture to widescreen.

* BleachedUnderpants: The content of the telefilm is considerably toned down from the book, which is not surprising given that it aired on network television and depicts characters (if not actors) who are underage:

** Ironically the gay subtext of several vignettes in the book, which were omitted as Robert Reed had not yet come out of the closet (and indeed was only outed after his death), are played up in the telefilm, including the awkwardness of Reed and Florence Henderson shooting "bedroom" scenes, and Reed's frustration with his circumstances stemming in part from his closeted homosexuality.

* HappyHollidaysDress: Marcia's young daughter Jessica wear a red Christmas dress.

The 1988 MadeForTVMovie ''A Very Brady Christmas'' saw the now-adult Brady Kids reunite with their parents, and stands out as one of the most somber ''Brady Bunch'' works. There is a great deal of tension between the various branches. Jan and Phillip are having marital problems; Marcia's husband Wally has lost his job and doesn't want anyone to know; Greg's adored wife decides to spend Christmas with her own family instead of the Bradys; Bobby wants to quit his job and become a race car driver; Peter and his girlfriend are dancing around the possibility of engagement; and Cindy wanted to go on a skiing trip with her college roommate instead of coming home. Midway through the actual Christmas celebration, just as it seems like all the tension has finally been resolved, Mike gets a call to a building site, where the construction is threatening to collapse and kill another architect's workers. He gets trapped inside himself, leaving the family waiting for news.

%%* WeddingDay: Naturally.

* OhNoNotAgain: The commercial for the "shag carpet" premiere has a microphone fly in slow-motion towards Maureen [=McCormick=]'s nose, previously "bruised" when the Brady boys' football infamously hit Marcia in the face. As Maureen gives a SlowNo, she ducks out of the microphone's way, resulting a Property Brother's nose getting bruised instead.

In 2018, the San Fernando Valley house that was used for exterior shots in the original series went up for sale. Initially, the sellers accepted an offer by Lance Bass of Music/{{NSYNC}}, but at literally the last minute, HGTV stepped in and bought the house for nearly twice the listing price. The network's plans for the house? Make it as exact a replica as possible of the house in the series—exterior ''and'' interior. With the help of many HGTV personalities. And the actors who played the six Brady children. ''A Very Brady Renovation'', premiering on September 9, 2019 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original series, chronicles this project.

* AgeCut: The opening has each Brady Kid's square in the grid fade into a picture of the actor as an adult.
