The Brady Bunch in the White House

Paramount had hoped to release a third Brady Bunch movie one or two years after A Very Brady Sequel (1996). However they faced two problems one being that while the sequel got some good critical reviews it made half as much at the box office as The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) did and the kids from the first two films were outgrowing their roles, particularly Jennifer Elise Cox and Christine Taylor who play Jan and Marcia respectively were getting close to 30 years old. They decided to compromise by making a TV sequel and would only do so under the condition that Shelley Long and Gary Cole reprise their roles as Mr. and Mrs. Brady. When they agreed Alice and the kids were all recast for the sequel. It is unknown why Henriette Mantel who played Alice in the first two films was unavailable for this one.

Mike picking Carol as Vice President would have been unconstitutional. The Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that the President and Vice President cannot be residents of the same state.
