    Yup. The Brady Bunch Movie in 1995 and A Very Brady Sequel in 1996. Members of the old cast made cameo appearances. I found the first one very funny. :D

    Betty Thomas who use to be in Hill Street Blues directed the first one.

    Holy Moley! Gotta agree the first one was hilarious and there was a great line in the second one when James L Avery notes there are nine people living in a house with no toilets
    Now back to the matter at hand, an easy one I think. Which member of the Brady Bunch movie cast is married to Ben Stiller?
