For the first time since 2004, we are seeing all six Brady Bunch kids in one place. What got them all together again? Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) all came out to Studio City for the start of production on HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation.
Back in August, HGTV bought the Brady Bunch house from under Lance Bass, and they are now in the process of converting it to how it looked on the beloved sitcom. You know because when it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange.
Along with The Bradys, Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers), Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), siblings Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Lara Spencer (Flea Market Flip) came out for the on-camera walkthrough.
Even though renovation is starting now, we are still 11 long months away from seeing the series on the home improvement network. I guess we will just have to watch The Brady Bunch until then. Which a happy alternative.
HGTV thinks that Boise Boys is such a flip that today they announced they picked it up for a second season. The 13 episodes will debut in the spring.
The home renovation show follows designer Luke Caldwell and licensed contractor Clint Robertson as they buy houses old ugly houses and renovate them to modern beauties in the booming Boise, Idaho. Luke likes to spend money and Clint has to rein him in. At the end of the day, the two friends, who are a real odd couple, turn out great houses that people cannot wait to own.
I am HGTV newbie and I discovered this show last week. I loved the first episode so much, I wound up watching all 6 in one sitting. It is not only that I enjoy watching them renovate the houses, I am also really impressed with their final product. Personally. I think they do the best job on the network.
They do such a good job that they make me want to move to Boise and buy one of their houses.
While I tuned for their renovation, their bond and family lives are why it is my favorite show on HGTV. We learn more about Campbell’s 6 kids in the final episode. After that episode, I read on KTVB how he adopted 4 kids from China, three with special needs. Someone that special deserves to have a show like this and you should be watching.
Catch the first season on the HGTV app. I promise you will love it as much as I do.
UPDATE:The Boise Boys had this to say about their pickup, “We are so excited to announce @hgtv has officially just ordered 13 hour long episodes for season 2 of @boise.boys 👏🏻👏🏻 We are so thankful to everyone who has encouraged us and cheered us on along the way! Thanks to @highnoonent for all you do. We love you all ❤️.”
On Friday, Lance Bass told everyone he was the new owner of The Brady Bunch house, but then the next day we found out he was not. He said that there was a studio who outbid him and they are going to be the home’s new owner.
I thought the studio was Paramount because they own the classic sitcom and I was wrong. The new owners are HGTV and the realtor updated the listing so it says, “contract signed.”. This way we really know it belongs to the network.
According to Deadline, Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the news on a conference call this morning. He said, “One of our projects for HGTV will speak to those Brady Bunch fans on the call. You may have heard that the house from the iconic series was recently on the market in California.” Then he added, “I’m excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can. More detail to come over the next few months but we’ll bring all the resources to bear to tell safe, fun stories about this beloved piece of American TV history.”
HGTV’s own Johnathan Scott from Property Brothers was one of the bidders. No word if he will be part of the project/inevitable series, but I am sure he will be. At least he better be.
I know, I cannot wait to see what they do it. In fact, once the construction starts, I will be walking by the house all the time to see the progress. Their first task should be to tear down that fence!
When it comes to Lance Bass, I think HGTV owes him a show because they stole the iconic house from under him. Don’t you agree?
You would Cinco de Mayo would be a good day to have baby #5, but Chip and Joanna Gaines, and Brigitte Nielsen and Mattia Dessi thought June was better suited for that.
The Fixer/Uppers did not say when their son came into the world, but his mom revealed he came a little early, “Our baby boy, Crew Gaines, is here and we couldn’t be more in love. He made an unexpected (and speedy) entrance into the world two and a half weeks early – which is fitting given he was a sweet surprise from day one. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We are so grateful.” The baby boy is already loved by his big brothers and sisters Drake, 13, Ella, 11, Duke, 9 and Emmie Kay, 8.
On Friday, Nielsen and her husband, Mattia Dessi, welcomed their first child together according to People. Her fifth child is also her first daughter. The baby girl has four much bigger brothers to fuss over her Julian Winding, 34, Killian Gastineau, 28, Douglas Meyer, 25 and Raoul Meyer Jr, 23.
You know, since both babies are the 5th child to reality stars and born around the same time; who is to say that they won’t hook up someday and get married? Plus, they could get their own show together, Strange Love Fixer/Uppers.
Ever since Joanna and Chip Gaines announced that they were ending their show Fixer Upper on HGTV, we have wondered what is next for the couple? Now we know. Yesterday, he revealed that his wife is pregnant with their fifth child. Although, I am not really sure who is carrying baby #5.
The Gaines have been married for 14 years and are already parents to Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7. Wonder if their next kid is a girl if they will give her an E name and if it is a boy a D one. Or maybe they will change things up and give it an F name.
