With the passing of Florence Henderson today, it’s fitting the question of the day should be about the Brady Bunch. I loved that show when I was a kid.

BRADY BUNCH QOTD
With the passing of Florence Henderson today, it’s fitting the question of the day should be about the Brady Bunch. I loved that show when I was a kid.
What is your favorite episode or scene from the Brady Bunch?
The one where Jan has to get an abortion and they are not sure if it was Mike or Greg.
Anytime Marcia wore a miniskirt.
Have never watched even one episode in its entirety. Tried watching it a few times and couldn’t finish. Those fuckers were to “wholesome” for me, even way back then.
I’ll bet those kids today are all drug users or prostitutes.
You nailed it.

When I saw this I thought about the Hollywood pedophile movie one of you guys posted a few days ago & wondered if any of these kids went thru the same ordeal the kids in the movie went thru.
For some reason, I really liked the episode where Marcia and Jan had to run through the amusement park with architectural plans. I wonder why?

Never watched them. It was before my time and the two Cdn channels we had when I was a kid never ran it in syndication. Like Stucky, I’ve never seen a full episode that I can recall.
So long ago I can’t remember much about the show. But for some reason it was a big hit in our house among the 4 children. Maybe because our family was so screwed up we found a little normalcy while watching it. But in hind site the show is as STUCKY said – too fucking wholesome. I could not stomach 3 minutes of that show today.
I am sure that at some point I must have watched one or two episodes, but probably no more than that. I am, however, outraged — outraged, I tell ya! — that the cast photo shows such a homogeneous group of privileged actors. Where are the persons of color? Why did the Bradys not adopt an African child? And what… no trans children? No Indigenous Peoples? Where are the differently abled, the special children? Where are the left handed, lesbian, shamanic, aboriginal, scrap booking, singers of kumbaya, dancing in drum circles with their dragging withered legs?
I realize that you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs, but surely it is just as impossible to make a nation with pigmental, genderish, linguistic and national originality diversification.
Greg did go on a date with his mother. Does that count?
The rumors have always been that he was sleeping with her in real life.
The neighbors adopted a black and an asian kid at one point.
The decided they could make new shows out of your ideas; Diffrnt Strokes, The Jefferson’s.
I can’t remember any specific episodes, but do remember the show definitely jumped the shark with the addition of that “Oliver” character.
Never watched that show or any others of it’s kind. Was too busy at that age drinking beers and trying to get laid.
The episodes where Mike pretended to be straight.
“Oh my Nose!”
It came on at the same time the Munsters on another channel. ( We had more than 3 channels on our TV ,I guess I was just another privileged white child) Strangely the Munsters won out every time.I really liked that show For some reason.
Lurch was the best…..
I used to watch it during prime time on NBC on Friday nites. Then later on syndication. It was little slice of Americana and TV history complete with lame, inside jokes that have been branded onto the collective consciousness of a generation.
Which made the 1995 redux even more humorous:

Lesbians?
Geez… They’re a long way from Beirut.
I never really got into ‘the bunch’ ….. but I did like the cameo of Florence Henderson in Weird Al’s music video ‘Amish Paradise’ ……. ‘:]
I suspect it was a grown-up fantasy: a guy could split with the battle ax and hook up with an equally anchored paramour. The impossible now seems possible and even acceptable in polite society.
It’s also possible for a young straight man to share an apartment with two straight hotties. Shit, let’s make that 3 couples.
I did see a few episodes of TBB but for some reason that show, like most shows, never resonated with me. I don’t even recall TBB being a topic of conversation at school. My brothers and I spent the vast majority of our days outside and as long as we weren’t setting fires or something, we were left to our own devices……..just be home by the time the street lights come on!
to show my age….Rosie Grier ( former LA Rams player, and the one who wrestled Sirhan Sirhan down and broke Sirhan’s hand after shooting RFK…and lifelong Democrat who voted for Trump!) was in one episode where Bobby or one of the boys wouldn’t sing because he thought he would be called a “sissie”…something like that…..Rosie told him it was cool to sing and to do to needlepoint…..pretty tame stuff compared to now!
ted, you sound like a damn millennial, who the fuck is Rosie Grier?
I only heard of Lew Alcindor and Cassius Clay back then.

damn millennial?…..that hurts….
didn’t say I agreed or liked the story, genius…..just recalling an old episode that I watched as a kid.
sorry it’s not “edgy” enough
Rosie Grier sure loved his needlepoint.

I don’t know if I have a favorite episode, but there are several that I think of from time to time. I remember one where Greg took a photo of a football play that maybe proved the player was in bounds or out of bounds or something like that. It was like today’s instant replay official review except it involved working in a darkroom to develop the photograph.
I remember the one where Marsha and Greg had a driving contest and Greg knocked the egg off the cone.
I remember the one where two of the kids separated their bedroom with a line.
And, I remember the one where the washing machine filled the house with soap suds.
I remember I always wanted to bang Jan and Marcia.
