Don't worry, this is not the worst movie out there :wink:
I only watched the movie because of Mr. Hillerman and I think you too.
I posted a picture of that movie on page two of this thread.

I didn't realize that was thirteen years ago. I am sure he has aged quite a bit since then.

I think it is fair to say, the only reason any of us watched that movie is because of Mr. Hillerman.

LOL!

I actually love the Brady Bunch movies! I guess you have to be a fan of the TV series to enjoy the movies. I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't care for the show, but for me, it always brought a smile to my face. Growing up as a latch key kid from a broken family, the Brady Bunch was a fun, beautiful fantasy land of simplicity and stability, if only for a half-hour.

A Very Brady Sequel is far inferior to the first one, but it does have some great scenes, especially the one where Tim Matheson's character trips on shrooms in the Brady house! :)

Christine Taylor was worth watching for sure. The movies weren't bad. They did spoof the show big time, and I think that is what a Magnum film would do.

No worries,

She's Ben Stiller's wife and has been in several movies, like Zoolander, Dodgeball, etc.

And she's quite the looker!

Back to John Hillerman, he was the best actor on MPI by a mile!

BTW, I saw a clip from a trainging film that he narrated. He used his British accent. It was killer. I think it was made in the early to mid 90s.
Who's Dot Matrix, and what has she got to do with this?

Yes Mac, I had a pair of Wallabees in junior high school...they were a brief fad around 1981-1982. Wallabees were exactly what they appeared to be in MPI...soft suede ankle boots with fabric speed-laces, and a strange "gum" sole formed into a weird wavy-grained tread.... Not much for a long service life away from the rolled-lawns of the Masters Estate. Or for cross-training, come to think of it. :lol:

You'll be delighted to learn that they're still available, and only a few days away from your door! Zappos.com offers several styles made by Clarks, a reputable English shoe manufacturer. (How Higgins-y is that?!) One buyer who left feedback described them as "the ugliest shoes in the world", har! Enjoy!

Does anybody knows how's John Hillerman today? He must be pretty old... I never saw a picture of him nowadays... Is he in good health?
