Robert Reed Hated ‘The Brady Bunch’ — Why Did He Return for the Sequels?

It was no secret that Robert Reed often clashed with the writers and producers of The Brady Bunch; in 1972, in the middle of the show’s run, he gave an interview with the Courier-Post where he commented, “The ineptitude of the scripts can be overpowering … It could be a good show, but we’re operating at 30 percent capacity, I think.” He even famously skipped participating in the show’s final episode, simply because he thought the plot was too stupid. Because of this, many fans have wondered why Reed showed up for the show’s many sequels: he performed in The Brady Bunch Hour variety show, as well as the specials The Brady Girls Get Married and  A Very Brady Christmas, and the 1990 sequel series The Bradys. According to creator Sherwood Schwartz, Reed didn’t come back because he needed money; rather, it turns out that he didn’t want to miss out on key family moments that the show was built around.

Autopsy Confirms Suic*de in De@th of Delta State Student Demartravion Reed, Found H@nging From Tree

Another update has been released in regarding Demartravion “Trey” Reed.

The 21-year-old Black student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a tree near the pickleball courts on campus around 7 a.m. Monday. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s autopsy determined his cause of death was hanging and classified the manner of death as suicide.

Investigators say there is no evidence of foul play so far. The Bolivar County Coroner reported no signs of assault—no cuts, bruises, fractures or other injuries. Toxicology results are pending and may take two to four weeks. Meanwhile, officials have given all materials to the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office for further review.

The discovery has stirred strong emotional reactions on and off campus, especially given Mississippi’s history. Delta State’s president acknowledged the painful imagery the incident evokes and the concern among students and community members. The university also received threats in the aftermath, prompting increased law enforcement presence. Trey Reed’s family has retained civil-rights attorney Benjamin Crump, who is calling for transparency and access to video and all investigation materials. We continue to send our condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

Jeff Tweedy Shares Video for New Song “Lou Reed Was My Babysitter”: Watch

Jeff Tweedy is sharing one last single before he releases his new album, Twilight Override, on September 26. “Lou Reed Was My Babysitter” comes with a music video by director Austin Vesely that captures Tweedy and his bandmates playing a basement show. Watch it below.

“Lou Reed Was My Babysitter” is about “the joy in this dark music that Lou Reed made, and the beautiful conflict that it creates when you try and analyze it,” Tweedy said in a statement. “And how it was such a positive force for so many people. ‘My life was saved by rock’n’roll’—Lou Reed is saying the same thing. I was babysat by fucking Lou Reed, literally, in my bedroom as a 10-year-old, 12-year-old kid. His music was a more legitimate mentor to me than most of my teachers.”

Tweedy announced Twilight Override in July. The Wilco frontman has shared numerous tracks from the album, including “Enough,” “One Tiny Flower,” “Out in the Dark,” “Stray Cats in Spain,” and “Feel Free.”
