The Brady Bunch syndication led to several television reunion films and spin-off series: "The Brady Bunch Hour" (1976–77), "The Brady Girls Get Married" (1981), "The Brady Brides" (1981), "A Very Brady Christmas" (1988), and "The Bradys" (1990). In 1995, the series was adapted into a satirical comedy theatrical film titled "The Brady Bunch Movie", followed by "A Very Brady Sequel" in 1996. A second sequel, "The Brady Bunch in the White House", aired on Fox in November 2002 as a made-for-television film. In 1997, "Getting Davy Jones" (season three, episode 12) was ranked number 37 on "TV Guide"s 100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time.

Although Robert Reed's dissatisfaction with other "Brady Bunch" incarnations has become legendary, he quickly signed on
