THE BRADY KIDS


"The Brady Kids," a new half-hour animated series, centers on the comedy antics of the popular young stars of Paramount Television's "The Brady Bunch."

Originating from their tree-top clubhouse, the various episodes revolve around the kids' lives at school, their romances and fun-filled adventures as a leading rock group.

The Brady Kids in their animated form will have new friends and pets. Two of their pets are Mop Top, a dog, who whistles his "narrative" a la Harpo Marx, and Marlon, a magical mynah bird, who spends a great deal of his time practicing ventriloquism and impersonations.

The series also features a group of magical characters, who more often than not, complicate the daily lives of the Brady Kids.

Starring as the voices of the kids are Barry Williams as Greg, Maureen McCormick as Marcia, Christopher Knight as Peter, Eve Plumb as Jan, Mike Lookinland as Bobby and Susan Olsen as Cindy.

"The Brady Kids" is under the creative control of Sherwood Schwartz, executive producer and creator of Paramount's "The Brady Bunch."

THE BRADY KIDS EPISODE GUIDE

1. "Jungle Bungle," Part I
2. "Jungle Bungle," Part II

In "Jungle Bungle," the Brady Kids -- Marcia, Jan, Cindy, Greg, Peter and Bobby -- along with Mop Top, their dog, enter a balloon race at the local carnival. But something goes wrong and the balloon takes the group to a strange, far-away island inhabited by the most eccentric characters the kids have ever seen.

It is on this island that the Bradys meet a host of colorful new friends who will become regulars in "The Brady Kids" series. Among them are Marlon, a magical mynah bird whose talents include ventriloquism and impersonations; Ping and Pong, two pandas who speak only Chinese, and Father Nature, who, henpecked by his wife, Mother Nature, has taken over her responsibilities, causing earth- shaking chaos.

The Bradys, caught up in their exciting new adventures, come to the realization that they face an overwhelming problem -- how do they get back home?

The "Jungle Bungle" episode features the six young stars of Paramount Television's nighttime series, "The Brady Bunch," in their animated forms and voicing their own roles.

The script was written by Marc Richards. "The Brady Kids" series is produced by Filmation in association with Paramount Television.


3. "Double Trouble"

"The Brady Kids," featuring the six young stars of Paramount Television's "The Brady Bunch," in their animated forms and voicing their own roles, begins its first season of telecasts.

In the episode "Double Trouble," Bobby inadvertently wishes aloud that he was Clint Flint, the he-man movie star. Marlon uses his magical powers and the wish comes true, except for Bobby's voice. The unsettling things that happen to Bobby at school are nothing compared to what happens when Bobby and the other Brady Kids, along with Mop Top, Marlon, Ping and Pong, descend upon the movie studio where Clint Flint is supposed to be working.

The Brady Kids sing "Ain't It Crazy?"
