‘Brady Bunch’ Star Reveals Cast ‘Doesn’t ‘Make Residuals’ Despite Being in Reruns for 56 Years

For decades, The Brady Bunch has been one of the endlessly replayed sitcoms in television history — airing in constant syndication that kept the famous TV family alive for generations.

But according to one of the show’s biggest stars, the cast doesn’t benefit from their continued popularity.

“If I had a dime for every rerun episode, I’d pay off the national deficit,” Eve Plumb, who played Jan, wrote in her newly-released memoir, Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond, per a Tuesday, May 12 report in Page Six. “I don’t.”

Her words echoed comments the actress, 68, made to PauseRewind last month. “We don’t make residuals,” Plum confirmed, via KomoNews.

The hit ABC sitcom, which revolved around the titular blended family, ran from 1969 to 1974, and has enjoyed a second wind of popularity on various cable networks in subsequent years.

Per Page Six, Barry Williams, who played Greg, revealed in his own 1992 memoir that the highest salary among the child actors involved was $1,100 a week.

Williams, 71, noted that the show’s 22 episodes from its final season meant the highest-earning child star would have earned just over $24,000, which was “not bad for a teenager” but did not take into account agent fees, taxes and any money the parents might also take.

The cast have made some money over the years from reunion shows and spinoffs, including books like the one Plumb published on April 28.

As Closer previously reported, she told Fox News that her parents were a huge help in keeping her on the right track as a child star when growing up in the spotlight.
