Favorite Brady Bunch episode? How many do you remember?

“Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!”

Or

Davy Jones being “Dreamy”.

The one where bobby rescues the dog or cat and gets his good cloths dirty and the overfills the washing machine.

the first kiss fireworks

the marsha gets pregnant

the house of cards contest

the car driving egg on the cone contests

the locked in the meat cooler

the alice hits the bust and breaks it

I think the nose. I am not good at remembering the details of such things. In my defense, it was quite a while ago. I do remember that I loved watching that and the Partridge Family, followed by Love American Style and then Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert on Friday nights. In 1970ish?, it just didn’t get any better than that.

“Oh my nose!”

hee! hee!

Beans in the flashlight

Mom always said don’t play ball in the house (mom’s favorite vase/mom’s favorite vase/mom’s favorite vase)

When it’s time to change you’ve got to rearrange who you are and what you wanna be

Peter saving the little girl in the toy store from the falling shelf.

Cindy and the Kitty Carry All doll.

@Pup…Yesssss! Mom always said, don’t play ball in the house!

@Bri Marsha possibly preggers? Are you sure? That doesn’t sound very Brady Bunch-ish?

The best episode ever – hands down – is Johnny Bravo! Other memorable episodes: Bobby the pool shark, Peter the investigative reporter, the bad luck Tiki necklace in Hawaii and (in the spirit of Bri L’s answer), the one where Mike and Carol decide to swing.

My brothers and sisters and I used to play a game we called “Name that Brady Bunch” the object was to identify which episode was on within the first thirty seconds. I am not embarrassed to admit I was the reigning champ. Ok, I’m a little embarrassed to admit it.

The vacation to Hawaii episodes (both of them).

One of the sisters had a slumber party (I think), and the boys and girls ended up scaring the hell out of each other several times during the night.

Greg and his brothers string a sheet up in the backyard and Greg uses a flashlight and projects the image of a goofy little red UFO flying over the backyard.

The episode when the kids pretended to “haunt” the house so no one would buy it.
The Hawaii episode.
The Grand Canyon episode.

The goat in the attic!

I loved the marriage/honeymoon show, with the dog & the cake! And remember the one where Marcia’s diary gets lost and Dezi Jr. comes to see her? When all the kids were sick at the same time (measles or c.pox?) And who could forget, Porkchops & Applesauce? Didn’t you love the Brady Bunch???

@bythebay, the measles! I remember when they all had the measles! What about when Carol got her tonsils out and was mean to Mikes’ boss over the phone? “Pork chops and applesauce, ain’t that swell?” That is the one where Peter becomes a journalist, he called himself “Scoop Brady.” Now you can see why I always won “Name that Brady Bunch.”

remember when Greg tried smoking, and there was that whole mix up with his friends coat and the cigarettes? Didn’t the PTA kick Carol out? I think that Greg had a dark side… :)

OK…I don’t know why I am surprised, but these are actually all listed on Wikipedia

in case you need to review for future competition, SM:)

@bythebay, you are so right, Greg definitely had a dark side. He was ready to sell the rest of the band out when he was offered the Johnny Bravo gig, and remember how cocky he got when he was allowed to make his dad’s office into his bedroom? All those love beads and black lights, that was a sin bin if I ever saw one!

I wonder what he & Marcia were doing in that sin bin when the cameras weren’t rolling? scandalous!!

@BTB (covering my eyes….)

@Snoopy: you know you want to peek

@BTB (sticking paws through the beaded doorway…..)

@Snoopy I through that in to fool around.

@ jonsblond EXCELLENT choices. I remember having a crush on seeing the girls in their suits. WOW!!!

@Bri BUT THIS IS SERIOUS!

(lol)

@Snoopy – as serious as the brady variety show?

What about the one where Bobby goes to the drive-in with Greg and his date then puts his umbrella up in the convertible? Another classic? Cindy freezes on the quiz show, “Baton Rouge Cindy, Baton Rouge!”

@Bri L, there is nothing as serious as the Brady variety show…. Except for maybe the Brady cartoon.

What about when Alice won the commercial/jingle contest? Did she win a TV or radio?

@SuperMouse – Are you serious? There was a Brady cartoon? What’d they do help the scooby gang?

@Bri_L, there was totally a Brady cartoon! They had a dog named Moptop and two panda bears named Ping and Pong. There was also a magical bird, I think his name was Merlin. I know entirely too much about The Brady Bunch.

What was Alice’s boyfriend’s name? The butcher?

Jim…? Sam! Sam the Butcher.

@bythebay Right! That is it.

Can’t you just hear Alice? “SAM!”

I like the one where Peter’s voice changes.

What about the Brady Brides? They’re practicing to go on the Newlywed Game.

“Breasts and Thighs! Breasts and Thighs!”

How about in a Very Brady Christmas when poor old Mr. Brady gets stuck in the building he helped design? We were all on the edge of our seats until Mrs. Brady began singing a Christmas carol and her dulcimer tones led Mike to safety. Mouse wipes a tear. This is the same movie where Bobby comes clean with is ambition to be a race car driver, and Marcia’s husband Wally admits that he has lost his job at the toy company, all during Christmas dinner – where Cindy is forced to sit at the kid’s table.

I don’t know why, but i just remembered Peter saying, “Pork chops & applesauce!” over and over!

These are so amusing me, BTW!

Sam the butcher bringin’ Alice the meat!

@jonsblond damn funny
