The very first show or pilot, called The Brady Bunch Variety Hour (then changed to BB Show). Guests were Donny and Marie and Tony Randell. Ann B. Davis, The Krofft Dancers and The Water Follies (some drug induced looking sketch with Carol falling out of a window and these people with clown make-up rescuing her filmed partly under water) also joined in the festivities. Songs included The Bunch singing "Baby Face" and "Love to Love you baby" melody. Next song was "One".

Donny and Marie, singing along with the bunch "Splish Splash". Greg sang "Corner of the sky". Carol sang "Anything for Love" and "Memories". Then in the Grand Disco-Sequin Finale, Songs included. "I'm in heaven" by Carol and Mike. "Dance with me" by Carol and kids. "The Hustle" by all. "Shake your Booty" by all, Jan has a solo (Everybody, get on the floor, and dance.....), and this is where Alice comes out. They all get down and funky. And they even do the bump as the crowd cheers and the dancing girls come out. Then the end Carol sings a couple of bars of memories, and the rest hum WAY out of tune, they say goodnight, turn around and wave.

I think this show was cool in its own right. Ain't nothing better than dancing bradys!!!!
