Well, this is it. The end. Tom Cruise will be looking for a new franchise soon. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (part 2 of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning) closes the cover on a highly successful series.

Or perhaps, watched a movie that featured an evil stepmother which made us appreciate our own moms all the more. Here is a baker’s dozen that do just that.

It maybe the simple story of a lovely lady who met a man named Brady and their half dozen of kids, but it’s also the “Neverending Story”. That enduring show originally aired from 1969 to 1974, but with reruns made available, the show has never been completely off the air. But their legacy goes on much longer. Several sequel series, reunion specials, parody movies and other projects have been made since. Here’s a Timeline…What made The Brady Bunch unique is that it was about a blended family.
