The Bradys (1990)
Great Show
I enjoyed seeing the Bradys reunited. Sad that it only lasted 5 episodes. Strange that Sam was never seen. I felt bad for Marcia and Wally losing their home. The one thing I didn't like was Peter going from one woman to another.
Bonanza: The Next Generation (1988)
Great Movie
The writers should have looked back at the show's history. Joe did not get married when Hoss was still alive. He got married after Hoss died. In the movie, Joe's wife is named Annabelle _(Annie). She told Hoss's son, Josh that Hoss was best man at her and Joe's wedding. That was the only downside of the movie. I enjoyed the movie, but as I stated, the writers should have looked at the show's history before writing the movie.
