...how and when Barry Williams twigged about Robert Reed's homosexuality. Who had told him?
...Why Tiger inexplicably vanished in the later seasons, (not to mention the cat, Fluffy, from the pilot).
...How come Eve Plumb's movie career was not touched on, post-Brady Bunch.
I know this TV movie was culled from Barry William's "tell-all" book, but a little more background per the other actors would have been interesting.
About Barry Williams finding out about Robert Reeds sexuality like he said in the movie he had just figured it out by himself. It does not take an Einstein to figure out wither someone you know really well is gay or not-he just put two and two together and got four. Also who is to say that he freaked out about it. It could have been a while since he had figured it out by the time he had his converstation with Florence Henderson and was somewhat over the shock of finding it out.
shareit says tiger died in an accident and thats why they didnt show him anymore
shareThe first Tiger got hit by a car. very sad.
Fluffy was never in anything but the pilot. As a Brady Fan I tel myself they let Carols parents keep Fluffy because they knew Fluffy and Tiger would never be able to live together in the Brady home.
I was also disappointed they didnt make this movie longer. Maybe not necessarily Eves career (I love love love DAWN, by the way) but to at least address the Variety Show and some of the other spin offs and specials. Even though the show itself only ran 5 seasons (hey home come they neglect to mention Season 5 killjoy Cousin Oliver?!) it also spawned (aside from the cartoon THE BRADY KIDS....):
BRADY VARIETY SHOW
BRADY GIRLS GET MARRIED
BRADY BRIDES
VERY BRADY CHRISTMAS
THE BRADYS
They should have at least had Barry mention that when he was an adult. Maybe when he ran into Sherwood at the lot (or even better: when he ran into that chick who may or may not have been Maureen- he could have ran into Maureen and said "rememeber this show? that show? hahaha")
There might even be people who arent aware of those shows and would find it intersting.

Eve Plumb was the only original cast member who declined to reunite for the 1976-77 "The Brady Bunch Hour" variety show. Much was made of her absence, including accusations that she no longer wanted to be associated with the Bradys. But she did return for the other Brady TV reunions. I heard that Plumb was sometimes portrayed in a negative light in Barry Williams' autobiography.
Movies are almost always different than the books they are based on. And a lot gets omitted due to time constraints. "Growing Up Brady" was only 88 minutes after commercials. I probably could have watched at least three hours of it. I assume it was geared towards more casual fans.
There wasn't much on Eddie Fontaine.
