Maureen McCormick, who was popular as a commercial actress in the 1960s and 1970s before joining The Brady Bunch – a show about a family with a neat appearance – is a fact that many people don’t know. Recently, the cast opened up about how they struggled to receive residuals for their five-season show.
The no-residuals provisions in their contracts have been a major obstacle to any renegotiation. The Brady Bunch only gets a fee, and a very small one at that, if clips of their show are included in a film. Reruns are not profitable for them. The moral of the story is: Read the contract before signing it!
McCormick should be able to make some money with promos for The Brady Bunch spinoffs. The successful syndication of the show has led to spin-offs and reunion films, including The Brady Girls Get Married. The Brady Bunch Hour. The Brady Brides. The Bradys. A Very Brady Christmas.and others.
