Dragging the Classics: The Brady Bunch (2021 TV Special) User Reviews

It's drag warts n all ;

[wbsimsjr-32405 · 7/10 · 2 July 2021]

Again people just can't wait to rag and skip looking over the information.."desperate attempt to create another Brady Bunch something".. the plot clearly indicates its an episode for Pride month.

I can't disagree with some notes.. the younger queens seem to have fallen farther from the ability to act since their time on D. R.. Personally I could have enjoyed an episode with just the B'bunch crew and Bianca Del Rio/Roy Haylock.. A fan of Ben dela Creme..but the overacting...seemed a bit too over the top, due to the under the top performances of the younger queens.. And any viewer of the the 'Race" would know they go through acting challenges and get read for not keeping up the energy.. So if your a fan of any level.. you'll watch..cringe, laugh and "open the library'' in your TV room with everyone with ya..

It's not perfect but 1 star?? Come on now.

This was a very fun retelling of a classic sitcom!

I am a huge fan of Drag Race, and my mom showed me the Brady Bunch a lot growing up (as it was a staple from her childhood) so I was very excited to see this crossover/retelling!

Many things about this worked. I thought their casting choices were mostly great. I loved seeing Shea as Marsha, Nina West as Alice was perfect, and Kandy Muse looks adorable in Cindy's pigtails! I do kind of wish they let the characters ad lib and change more things, as the funniest part of the episode was the end credits where you get to hear Bianca Del Rio drop the f-bomb multiple times when forgetting her lines.

The green screen set was the worst part for me. It feels very in-authentic at times, a classic set would have made this feel more like an actual sitcom. That being said, I understand they are only doing one episode and the casting alone probably cost too much for a proper set. This whole thing kind of felt like a long version of a main challenge from RuPauls Drag Race, but it was still enjoyable none the less.

I would recommend to any one who is a fan of Drag Race and/or The Brady Bunch and has Paramount+ because it's only 30 minutes and if you already have the subscription, why not?

So Stupid...Still cracked me up though

Bianca Del Rio is hilarious in everything. BenDelaCreme should have had a bigger role.

This was so bad it looped back around to kind of awesome. 30 minutes of mindless, silly fun.

Drag more classics please!

Horrible

[rambleredhead · 3/10 · 21 July 2021]

This was tragic I want my 26 minutes back. The acting was so bad.

What was that?

[VBliss31383 · 2/10 · 30 July 2021]

What did I just watch? I'm a huge RPDR fan and stumbled upon this by accident. Bianca Del Rio as Carol Brady? Sign me up!

They could've made this hilarious. Instead they seemed to have followed the old script to a tee. Why not add in fresh jokes? The Brady Bunch movies from the 90s were funnier than this. It would've been better if they'd done an all drag cast. Watching the OG Brady kids was just painful.

I give it 2 stars as Nina West as Alice was funny, and it was humorous having Barry Williams play Mike. The rest was a cringe fest set against a green screen.

Adorable! Thank you 😬

The reviews that bash this are closed minded!

It's a cute skit from a classic and moral TV series.

It was not vulgar or malicious. Maybe that's why the reviews are bad.

I can't wait for the next one. Maybe Gilligan's Island 🤔😊

Thank you Rupaul and the Brady kids that participated and for keeping it clean.

absolute garbage

What a way to destroy such an iconic piece of television history.

Beware: Product Causes Second Hand Embarrassment

I began watching this but my smart TV kept malfunctioning. I turned it off and on and off and on. Finally, a loud voice boomed from the television speakers: I'M MORTIFIED TO BE PLAYING THIS TRASH. Smart, indeed!

Drag Race jumped the shark after season 7 but I guess enough teenage girls spend money and attention on it to keep milking the franchise with garbage like this. The worst parts of every Drag Race season are always the acting challenges. Why? They're too challenging! The Drag Race staff can't write anything entertaining, 99.9% of the queens cannot act whatsoever, and RuPaul and friends definitely cannot direct. It's always absolute cringe.

Hands down the worst part of this was watching Kylie Sonique. I liked Sonique on Season 2 but an actress? No! Stop. Super low energy. No charisma. Soft voice. Great dancer. Great entertainer. But acting? Drag Race of course is tripping over itself to make up for angering certain activists by propping Sonique up, but that's just disservice. He emperor has no clothes but watch as the entire Drag Race world pretend Kylie is fashion, funny, an actress, the second coming. No, Kylie is a fun drag act.

Brady Persona Tarnished Forever

[lappel-79037 · 2/10 · 2 July 2021]

This seems like a desperate attempt to create another Brady Bunch something. The acting was atrocious even from the original cast who had nothing better to do than poke fun at their former selves. The shame! Drag Queens meet Brady Bunch? Whose idea was this?

This DID NOT destroy an iconic piece of TV history ...

[imdb-89792 · 2/10 · 2 August 2022]

... as the variety series of the 1970's already accomplished that. But, yes, I agree that this is absolute garbage. Hey, where is Maureen McCormick?

How do I get this review to at least 150 characters?
