See what happens when The Brady Bunch are forced to put up The Six Million Dollar Man and 'Charlie's blond Angel' in this corny skit from "The Brady Bunch Hour!"
So cute, this was the time I met Lee Majors and Farah Fawcett. They used to come in the grocery store I worked at. This brings back memories of my knees going week when I said hi to Lee. I used to have blond flowing Farah Fawett hair back then. LOL
The idea for this show came about because a few of the Brady characters actually were in a skit on the Donny and Marie Show. It was so well received, that the Brady Bunch Variety Show was put together in a matter of months. It had some similar elements of the D&M Show. They had the ice skaters and the Brady's had the water ballet. Didn't make a whole lot of sense, but not much of 70's variety did. It's still great fun to see!!!
LOL!! "Don't hit me you big bionic bully!!" HA!! I ADORE Lee Majors and that little tuft of hair that hangs down during these scenes, is just TO DIE FOR!!! He's amazing! Honestly, I would do the same things that they did, if I woke up one morning and found Lee Majors sleeping on my couch!! And I ENVY Alice SO much!! That was a long kiss that he gave her...and "Boy Howdy" Though it would have had to have been 40 years ago, if that had been me, I woulda died!! LONG LIVE LEE!!!!!!
i used to love watching the brady bunch when i was younger but we never got this version of the show in the uk..great to see lee majors too..thanks for uploading.
This is the last days of Vaudeville, TV version. The Dean Martin roasts, the Bob Hope specials. A part of six year old misses that, vs. todays' reality TV. Bring back Match Game!
Rip Taylor just kills me. That queen tried saying in an interview that he was not gay, and only acted that way because he grew up with mostly woman around.....Mary, please. I saw him at a casino in the 90's and he was only around young pretty guys...Who is she kidding?
During their marriage they both were two of the top stars. They never saw each other. Also, if I'm right he was old fashioned and she was rocketing her way to superstardom. That's why they split. Ryan was not nearly as popular. So he had time to weasle in. He was Lee's good friend, or was supposed to be. Farrah married Lee, not Ryan. She was Farrah Fawcett-Majors never Farrah Fawcett-Oneal.
Gpg20's , Farrah was lucky to have Lee he is a sexy man . Good Lord first he was Heath on Big Valley then Steve on The Six Million Dollar Man then The Fall Guy this man is DDG and talented . God Love You Lee.
Whenever I see Rip Taylor, I reflexively think two things - one, it's going to be corny as all hell, and two - I'm about to see a whole lot of confetti
Just when i think i seen every piece of seventies cheese and this rears up. Another example of a bombed variety show, but yet a prime example of a good Farrah Fawcett appearance, even with the ex bionic hubby. Oh god what a goofball act on Peters behalf.
Some shows from the 70's I look back with fond memories....and then....there's this one....and I wonder "what were the Hollywood people thinking????" ...and today, I continue to think that way for more than 99% of what is put out on TV and movies.
Of all the male actor's horrific hair mistakes on this episode, Mike Lookinland's is the most egregious - he looks like Sissy Spacek's date in "Carrie", only more wussified.
For the last episode of this unique show, they should have booked Bill Bixby. By the end of the show, if he could make it that long, he would turn into the Incredible Hulk, destroy the hideous sets, and kill everyone.
It wasn't on too long (like 9 or 10 episodes I think). It gained "fame" b/c of 'The Donny and Marie Show' which later on replaced it. **side note** I used to watch the D & M show @ 8:00 pm on Friday nights, then a certain show called TIH came on CBS and the rest is history! *lol* Well, I saw on THS that Eve Plumb's dad was in dispute with the show and didn't want her on. So they wrote her out of the contract. Paris Hilton's mom was one of the 1500 girls who auditioned for the part.
haha I used to watch this when I was a little kid. **Fake 'Jan Brady' alert **LOL I forgot how smokin' Fawcett was when she was younger. RIP Robert Reed
@bigrigJim what a pity... He must be better now with his loved new wife... I really think he's a good man. For me he'll be aways a very very special one.
She was a sweet girl. I went to school with her elementary through UT. But, had bad taste in men. She never cheated on her boyfriends, but they cheated on her. Lee was controlling and Ryan was alcoholic and a bad temper. Sad. She deserved better.
@dall123451 Funnily enough, Lee Majors knew Elvis. They played football for fun in the late sixties and Lee used to attend his Vegas shows. Elvis used to kid Lee about his liking for backing singer Kathy Westmoreland. And when a woman slapped Lee at one of Presley's penthouse parties just because she didn't "like his attitude," Elvis took her aside to ask her why she hit him. When he learned she just didn't like him, he gave her a slap and told the bodyguards to "get her out of here!!"
This is really cool for us 70's TV fans to watch NOW. But this must have been really painful to sit through when it first aired. Fortunately, I must have been busy playing ball outside. Thank God nostalgia makes anything fun. I'm sure Eve was quite glad to have opted out of this one.....
She wanted nothing to do with this show or anything to do with the Brady bunch after the original show ended, only many years later did she come on HGTV for the rebuild of the original house used for the Brady bunch
She cheated! And he wanted a non-actress and stay at home wife.(at least by 6) At the height of her career and big demand that wasnt easy.Ryan did not ask that of her.
@xxcharmed1xx I disagree... Although Lee is/was "hotter" than Ryan, Ryan didn't want to change Farrah. He loved her for whom she was! Lee wanted Farrah to become a stay-at-home mom and wife and was jealous of all her accomplishments as an actress. Something that Ryan never was!
I said Ryan *seemed* better to her...not that he was. Lee was married 4 times. He is no prize. And if Farrah could not tolerate him but could tolerate Ryan..well that says a WHOLE lot.
So cute, this was the time I met Lee Majors and Farah Fawcett. They used to come in the grocery store I worked at. This brings back memories of my knees going week when I said hi to Lee. I used to have blond flowing Farah Fawett hair back then. LOL
I love those years between 1976 and 1981. Absolutely great times! Farrah was so good looking and so kind and friendly.
Love watching these old clips. Lee and Farrah were the it couple of the 70's they look great together
Ahh that 70's feeling. Best decade
I'd rather remember her like this- young, beautiful, and healthy, instead of ill with cancer. Thank God for TH-cam!
Me too

Farrah always did steal a scene. What a beauty...
I met a woman in 2016 who still had the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle from the 70s
Thanks for posting, they were a great couple, I just saw Lee last week in a TV ad for a Hearing aid, Man times have changed.. I MISS FARRAH!!
This is beyond corny, cheesey and gay. But for some reason it has a place in my heart. The kiss Lee gives Alice is pure gold.
RIP Farrah Fawcett!!! You will be missed!!!
thanks for posting these great clips of Farrah!
Lee had Farrah in her prime - lucky dog.
LOL!! "Don't hit me you big bionic bully!!" HA!! I ADORE Lee Majors and that little tuft of hair that hangs down during these scenes, is just TO DIE FOR!!! He's amazing!

Classic stuff.
My how I wish I could go back in time.
George Vreeland Hill
Thanks for the vid. lee and Farrah did a couple of guest spots one of them was on the Donny and Marie show, very rara
Thanks for the walk down memory lane
3:14 Farrah was totally 1970s! Every teen and young woman tried to copy that feathered hair! Pull out a HIgh School yearbook from that era
i don't carry a pen in my pajamas
oh man i did enjoy it very much, this is nostalgic. i flashed back.
i used to love watching the brady bunch when i was younger but we never got this version of the show in the uk..great to see lee majors too..thanks for uploading.

I loved this program. Shame they don't do them anymore.;
He wasn't jealous of her. Read some of his interviews. He was 110% behind her career.
she was my first love...thanks for posting this!
This is awesome.
love Farrah 😀😀😀
i remember so many girls had that look that farrah has, the tight jeans with cowboy boots....and of course the hair
Wow farrah wakes up looking like that
Omg! It was great to see Rip Taylor! I always liked him. :)
Rip Taylor just kills me. That queen tried saying in an interview that he was not gay, and only acted that way because he grew up with mostly woman around.....Mary, please. I saw him at a casino in the 90's and he was only around young pretty guys...Who is she kidding?
I remember it well. Watched them every Friday night:)
During their marriage they both were two of the top stars. They never saw each other. Also, if I'm right he was old fashioned and she was rocketing her way to superstardom. That's why they split. Ryan was not nearly as popular. So he had time to weasle in. He was Lee's good friend, or was supposed to be. Farrah married Lee, not Ryan. She was Farrah Fawcett-Majors never Farrah Fawcett-Oneal.
Sweet. Thank you for posting.
@mcx99 Worst? This is the GREATEST example of 70's variety show cheeze EVER!
Gpg20's , Farrah was lucky to have Lee he is a sexy man . Good Lord first he was Heath on Big Valley then Steve on The Six Million Dollar Man then The Fall Guy this man is DDG and talented . God Love You Lee.
Right. Tina Louise hated playing Ginger on Gilligans Island too but she also played her role professionally.
even in bed, her hair looked perfect!
Ah, life in the '70s...
Whenever I see Rip Taylor, I reflexively think two things - one, it's going to be corny as all hell, and two - I'm about to see a whole lot of confetti
Just when i think i seen every piece of seventies cheese and this rears up. Another example of a bombed variety show, but yet a prime example of a good Farrah Fawcett appearance, even with the ex bionic hubby. Oh god what a goofball act on Peters behalf.
VERY HOKEY BUT SOME GREAT MEMORIES OF MY EARLY TV LIFE......MISSED EVE PLUMB BEING IN THE MIX.....
Lee was so handsome and Farrah was so beauitful!!
Yeah......she cheated on him with ughh.......Ryan!
@Flenif2247 ....it was about Lee spending 16-hour days working on TSMDM.
what the hell is the brady bunch hour?
@@commentfreely5443 , seriously? It was huge back then!
MISS YOU ICON FARRAH FAWCETT 😢😢
What a lucky man Lee majors was back then.
It's vague, but I remember now... I don't think they were on for more than a few episodes..
THE BEAUTIFUL FARRAH FAWCETT AND LEE MAJORS WERE FANTASTIC TOGETHER 🤗🤗 THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED TOGETHER 😍😍
Boogie, Alice!
RIP Farrah
Some shows from the 70's I look back with fond memories....and then....there's this one....and I wonder "what were the Hollywood people thinking????"
...and today, I continue to think that way for more than 99% of what is put out on TV and movies.
2.021
MARVELOUS.
HUAU
NO HABÌA VISTO ESTE PROGRAMA, PARECE DIVERTIDO.
EN ESOS AÑOS LOS 2 ERAN LAS CELEBRIDADES MÀS FAMOSAS;
LEE MAJORS Y FARRAW FOCET.
Of all the male actor's horrific hair mistakes on this episode, Mike Lookinland's is the most egregious - he looks like Sissy Spacek's date in "Carrie", only more wussified.
Alice took that kiss...good girl.
Yes, Rip Taylor is still alive. He's 75 now. :)
I guess Lee majors had no morning breath...LOL
Una belleza!!!!!
Alice found her 6 million dollar man. Poor Rip Taylor.😂
She should've stated with Lee.
Wonder what Rip Torn and Robert Reed were doing in between commercials, lol.
For the last episode of this unique show, they should have booked Bill Bixby. By the end of the show, if he could make it that long, he would turn into the Incredible Hulk, destroy the hideous sets, and kill everyone.
That is sooo funny!
Man this is pretty cheesy but still cool. I love the 70s. I wish I grew up in that decade
*lol* TIH: 'The Incredible Hulk'. : )
i love robert reed
It wasn't on too long (like 9 or 10 episodes I think). It gained "fame" b/c of 'The Donny and Marie Show' which later on replaced it. **side note** I used to watch the D & M show @ 8:00 pm on Friday nights, then a certain show called TIH came on CBS and the rest is history! *lol*

Neve Saw this when I was a Kid
Yeah, I think Lee looks a lot like Elvis, too!
haha I used to watch this when I was a little kid. **Fake 'Jan Brady' alert **LOL
I forgot how smokin' Fawcett was when she was younger.
RIP Robert Reed
@bigrigJim what a pity... He must be better now with his loved new wife... I really think he's a good man. For me he'll be aways a very very special one.
Farrah Fawett-Majors you so sweet when
your eyes close
A living doll she was.
I think is is the era when Donny and Marie was on TV.
He's dressed like the band teacher I had back then.
Other way around dude. Lee treated her well. Ryan treated her poorly.
She was a sweet girl. I went to school with her elementary through UT. But, had bad taste in men. She never cheated on her boyfriends, but they cheated on her. Lee was controlling and Ryan was alcoholic and a bad temper. Sad. She deserved better.
The Dukes didn't come out until '79 Hulk premiered a year earlier on CBS @ 9:00 pm after 'The New Adventures of Wonder Woman' .
LOL Right on Frank!

What a cool.story. I had no idea
@cluvsonj yes I have seen the photo of them together, its unbelieveable, they look like they could have been related.
I had farrah too in 1982
...and Greg is....what..33 years old and still living in the Brady household??
In 2018 many 33-year-olds live with their parents in California because rent so high!
And here's the real kicker, he was dating his mother at the time , Florence Henderson revealed that in an interview years ago 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder why The Captain and Tennille and Bob Denver didn't show up, at least we all know a show in the 70s wasn't complete without Rip Taylor.
Ai que linda essa Farrah
Lee? The Children? Tell the Truth about our History, no acting? Make me proud! Do ya think the six million dollar man will? I wish he would.
BOBBY BRADY WITH AN AFRO! LOL!!!
@cluvsonj funny I always thought that too, before I heard anyone else say that.
Poor Lee Majors....he looks like he hates the script and is bored....he sure was/is hot tho! :)
"Poor"? "Bored"? What a poor nd bored perception of someone you dumb f*ck.
COOL SHOW
Who the f is capt kool and the kongs?
before TIH , first came the THE DUKES OF HAZZARD just ole good boys never meaning no harm
This is really cool for us 70's TV fans to watch NOW. But this must have been really painful to sit through when it first aired. Fortunately, I must have been busy playing ball outside. Thank God nostalgia makes anything fun. I'm sure Eve was quite glad to have opted out of this one.....
@mcx99 maybe so. but if ure a Brady Bunch fan like I am, it's always nice and entertaining. long live The Brady Bunch!
Lee was a handsome man and Farrah was a beautiful woman
One of the mysteries of my life:
How was this show a good idea?
Eve Plumb ?
She wanted nothing to do with this show or anything to do with the Brady bunch after the original show ended, only many years later did she come on HGTV for the rebuild of the original house used for the Brady bunch
show called TIH???what show was that??
The Incredible Hulk
Susan Olsen looks gorgeous!
Exactly! Maybe he needed the money, or it more closely matched his interests as a performer?
OH Alice.
Florence was a very pretty lady.
is rip still alive??
oh my god my dream is to have lee majors on mu sofa
Why Arn't they Living in the Real Brady House ?....This house looks Real Small.
Oh man why did Lee and Farrah split? Grrr?
She cheated! And he wanted a non-actress and stay at home wife.(at least by 6) At the height of her career and big demand that wasnt easy.Ryan did not ask that of her.
Ryan O'Neil
They split because she dumped him for Ryan Oneal who was then lee s best friend
@xxcharmed1xx I disagree... Although Lee is/was "hotter" than Ryan, Ryan didn't want to change Farrah. He loved her for whom she was! Lee wanted Farrah to become a stay-at-home mom and wife and was jealous of all her accomplishments as an actress. Something that Ryan never was!
Lynn Bechard-Hulley sorry to disagree but Ryan was physically abused to Farrah, broke her nose twice.
Lee wasnt jealous.He just wanted her as a part time actress and in less demand. Ryan loved her money.
Lee seemed like more of a man than Ryan. Maybe she was less intimidated by Ryan ? more frightened of Lee ?
I said Ryan *seemed* better to her...not that he was. Lee was married 4 times. He is no prize. And if Farrah could not tolerate him but could tolerate Ryan..well that says a WHOLE lot.
1) I was raised watching the BB but NEVER heard of this show!
2) Wtf happened to Eve Plumb??
3) Farrah did this show??!!
