Oh, I think I'll go on-line everyday now...
 
Certain TV producers are considering a re-make of the TV series "Brady Bunch", but set in 2009.
 
Mike and Carol are recently married, each having three children from a prior marriage. Mike and Carol each lost their spouse in unrelated freak accidents used by the TV show to emphasize the evils of global warming. Mike Brady is a web page designer who works from a home "den". Carol is a stay-at-home-mom who campaigns tirelessly for certain issues like awareness of global warming and the prevention of space aliens from seizing the planet.
 
The family has a live-in database administrator/ system administrator named Alice who maintains the 8 Brady personal computers, loads and recharges the family members ipods and texting-capable cell phones,  and leads the evening World of Warcraft gaming sessions, which often last deep into the night. Alice frequently disappears for several episodes and supposedly follows techno groups around the country as they tour. Alice has a love interest, Sam, who runs an organic food store in the neighborhood. Sam supplies the Brady family with food, and the family is completely organic. The family owns a Prius and they recycle.
 
The following song was written for the pilot episode, featuring the Brady children, and was not considered successful, casting the future of the TV series in doubt.
