Synopsis

The movie is about the production of the 1969–1974 ABC sitcom The Brady Bunch, on which Williams played teenager Greg Brady, with backstage dramas among the cast and the show's producers. However at times some of the scenes have been slightly altered from what actually occurred in real life. The film is dedicated to the memory of Robert Reed.

Cast

Differences from the book

In his book, Williams writes that he first kissed McCormick in Hawaii, rather than in a limousine bringing them home from The Who concert in Los Angeles. The flirting between McCormick and Williams while filming for "A Room at the Top" (episode 95) happened a few months before the Hawaii episodes and was boosted for the TV movie. Although in the movie Eve Plumb's character is unfazed when a security guard stumbles upon her and Christopher Knight making out in a prop car on the Paramount Pictures backlot, Knight has said Plumb was "mortified" and started to cry. Also a scene where Williams' agent tells him that The Brady Bunch had been canceled is changed somewhat. Instead of drinking a bottle of Bourbon, he is drinking a bottle of Scotch.

gollark: `textutils` things?
gollark: There're mods to integrate it with AE2 and RS, aren't there?
gollark: True, true. It'll technically *work* if you pick at random or something and nobody will be particularly surprised, but it'd be a nice-to-have.
gollark: Also, sometimes situations where you need to make subjective value judgements about items can occur, and so can loops.
