Glutton for punishment?

If it had been picked up as a series would you have watched Kelly's Kids? It seems a little harsh to judge the potential of the series when they didn't even get a whole episode to themselves but from what we saw I think that a series based around the Kellys would have lacked the obvious charm that the Brady Bunch had. Something that struck me as a little strange was that at around the same time they were adding Oliver to the show to appeal to the younger audience Sherwood was trying to sell a Bradyesque show without any girls in the cast. Although saying that perhaps their interfering neighbour Mrs. Payne would have acquired a niece in the series because she seemed a little redundant in the pilot.

While the show doesn't, or rather wouldn't have, appealed to me there was at least plenty of crossover potential. There could have been an episode where Marcia or Jan came over to babysat or one where Bobby discovers the shocking Brady family secret after noticing Matt's striking resemblance to himself.

I personally didnt think much of the Kelly kids episode. But don't get me wrong, I dont think its a bad episode, but it did lack potential. But if it got picked up as a series then I would have definitely watched it to see how it would progress. I like to see the good in everything, and who knows what the outcome of that show would have been! And I agree about Marcia or Jan having some sort of storyline with babysitting and having Bobby realise that him and Matt are long lost brothers! Some good ideas there, Jonathon
