It will be the third time that Cole and Long having slipped into the polyester leisurewear of the classic 1970s parents, having done so already in 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie and 1996's A Very Brady Sequel

In the TV movie, Mike and Carol's good deeds land them in the White House as president and vice president, respectively. There's no word yet on whether the rest of the new batch of Bradys will be back, such as Christine Taylor, who played the hair-obsessed Marcia.
