Here's the story of a lovely lady...And they knew it was much more than a hunch, that this group would somehow form a family. That's the way we all became the NEW Brady Bunch. The NEW Brady Bunch,
Yes, we are tv junkies. We grew up loving certain shows (even those we fell in love with via reruns) and still have a connection to them till this day.
We thought it would be fun (mostly because we get bored at 3am when everyone else is sleeping) to reimagine the racial/ethnic/cultural makeup of some of our favorite shows to see what they would look like as a multiracial/multicultural group.
We're starting out with The Brady Bunch will continue to add as we go along. We're always interested in your feedback. Please post your comments and also share with us which tv shows you'd like us to remakee these characters in our image.
The NEW Brady Bunch Cast: (Please be sure to review pictures in the album "The Brady Bunch Multiracial/Multicultural Makeover")
Carol Brady: Vanessa Bell Calloway *The "bark like a dog" girl in Eddy Murphy's Coming to America. Last seen in the movie Lakeview Terrace as aunt Dorrie.
Mike Brady: George Lopez - needs no introduction
Greg Brady: Lance Gross - Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful dark chocolate man. Currently plays Calvin Payne on Tyler Perry's House of Payne. He is engaged to America's Next Top Model Winner Eva Marcille.
Marcia Brady: Freida Pinto - Starred as Latika in Slumdog Millionaire. With her beauty, there is no else to play Marcia Brady.
Peter Brady: Bryton McClure - Best known for his role as Richie Crawford on Family Matters. He currently plays Devon Winters on the Young and the Restless.
Jan Brady: Raven-Symoné - Best known for her role as Olivia on The Cosby Show and Raven on That's so Raven. With her sass, there is no one else to play Jan Brady.
Bobby Brady: Thomas Sangster - We fell in love with him as Sam in the movie Love Actually.
Cindy Brady: Shenell Edmonds - This young lady who currently plays "sweet yet straightforward" Destiny on One Life to Live is making the list as one of our favorite young actress. We send good vibes that she continues in the industry for years to come - of course without losing her soul.
Alice Nelson: Sheri Shepherd -
Seriously, how funny would she be playing Alice!?! She's a stiletto and weave wearing Florence Jefferson who would give Alice some pizzazzzz and send Sam the butcher's heart on overdrive.

A family is people and A family is love, That's a family. They come in all different sizes and different kinds, But mine is just right for me, Yeah, mine is right for me.
According to www.nationaladoptionday.org, National Adoption Day was started in November 2000 as a joint effort between law firms, state foster care agencies, child advocates and courts to complete hundreds of foster care adoptions in nine jurisdictions nationwide (New York City; Los Angeles; Chicago; Dallas; El Paso; Fort Worth; Washington, D.C.; Omaha, Nebraska and Columbus, Ohio).
As it celebrates its 10th anniversary on November 21 of this year, it is expected that 4,500 foster care adoptions will be finalized across the United States. A series of events - from Alabama to Wyoming - is scheduled to take place to celebrate and encourage these newly formed families. Click here to find an event near you: http://cli.gs/GB7Z7b .
EIRIC™'s foundation is rooted in making money to make a difference. One thing that we strive for is to significantly decrease the number of children (approximately 129,000, as noted by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption) that will still be left in the U.S. foster care system in need of a safe, loving and permanent home. Our goal is to raise the necessary funds to: a) increase the public's awareness of the gravity of this need and b) demystify the fostering and adoption processes to encourage cross-cultural matches.
As we launch EIRIC™'s official site, we hope that we can depend on you to support our efforts to give these kids an opportunity to finally be embraced by loving arms. We will be attending the Adoptive Parents adoption conference on November 22 (for more details visit http://cli.gs/0trYLP) as an indicator of our commitment.
EIRIC™'s adoption day fundraising and awareness campaign, “Love, NOT color, makes a family”is scheduled for November 2010. An official call for volunteers will go out at the end of January 2010. Please keep your ears and eyes posted.
Communication goes both ways:
Have you ever considered adoption?
