N.p.: The Ladd Company, 1994. First Shooting Draft script for the 1995 film.

A contemporary parody of the popular 1969-1974 ABC family sitcom created by Sherward Schwartz. Notably, Sherwood Schwartz and sitcom producer Lloyd J. Schwartz both received screenwriting credits on the script found here, though Sherwood Schwartz received only character credits in the released film.

The kitchy sitcom family, with their sitcom family morality and distinctly 1970s fashions, are incongruously placed in 1990s Los Angeles. Starring Shelley Long, Gary Cole, and Michael McKean, and featuring cameos from much of the original television cast as well as RuPaul, and The Monkees' Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, and Peter Tork.

Followed by the sequels, "A Very Brady Sequel," released in 1996, directed by Arlene Sanford, and the television movie "The Brady Bunch in the White House," released on Fox in 2002, and directed by Neal Israel.

Set in and shot on location in California.

Schwartz. 107 leaves, with last page of text numbered 106. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two gold brads.
