THE BRADYS EPISODE GUIDE

1. "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines" (two-hour TV movie)

Directed by Bruce Bilson
Written by Sherwood Schwartz and Lloyd J. Schwartz

Carol (Henderson) and Mike (Reed) Brady, once the proud parents of six children, now are also the grandparents of three. With the children and their families spread out over the country, Carol is a working woman of the '90s, holding a job as a high-powered real-estate agent, while Mike still continues as a successful architect.

The youngest Brady son, Bobby (Lookinland), has decided to be a professional race car driver and has, in fact, qualified for the Nashville 500. On race day, Bradys all over the country arrange their schedules so that they can see the live event on television. Obstetricians Greg (Williams) and wife Nora (Richman) watch from a delivery room. Marcia (Ayres), husband Wally (Houser) and their two children (Bernstein and Melby), who have just moved in with Mike and Carol because Wally has lost his job, catch it from the Brady living room, where Alice (Davis) joins them. Peter (Knight) watches from his office alone, since he has just broken off his engagement to Valerie, and Jan (Plumb) and husband Philip (Kuhlman) watch from a cruise ship. Carol, Mike and Cindy (Olsen), now a disc jockey, travel to Nashville to cheer Bobby on from the stands.

The green flag is up -- and the Brady family members watch in horror as Bobby's car is involved in a fiery accident. Hospital tests later reveal that his legs are paralyzed and he may never walk again. The arrival of his old girlfriend from college, Tracy (Quinn), helps to lift Bobby's spirit. While Bobby convalesces, the growing Brady bunch prepares for two new additions...
