I love how the whole Brady family would always work together to achieve a common goal. Finding Carol's earrings, finding Jan's locket, finding Mike's sketches in the amusement park and getting them back in time, finding Tiger after he ran away...they always made such a great team.
Shortly before he died, Robert Reed was on a TV commercial and said, "Back on the Brady Bunch, every problem was solved in thirty minutes. That's a far cry from reality..." But of course, I can't remember what he was trying to sell.
I was born in 1962 so "The Brady Bunch" was an indelible part of my childhood. Every episode was a neat little life lesson. I can't imagine being a kid today. Every TV show today is some twisted shit with no redeeming qualities at all.
Absolutely I was born in 1963 and never missed an episode of the Brady Bunch and like you said every episode had a little life lesson . Respect, common sense, common courtesy, and you don’t see that in shows that they have today.
I've been watching a lot of these clips. I have to say, the show was very well done. You get drawn into the plots, you fall in love with the characters, and it's not fake.
I think that is what the appeal is. The show is generational. We all have these issues: Bullying, Dating, Sibling Rivalry, etc. And the characters, especially the kids, did seem real and not phony.
Yeah It's kind of cheesy and has simple plots, not too deep, and the kids acting is sometimes not good (in the early years that is), but somehow they all managed to pull it off and make it enjoyable to watch for a lot of people.
Mike and Carol look great as Marc And Cleopatra, given Robert's experience in theater 🎭 and Florence's beauty , they would have done well in a stage show.
This was the 2nd time In season 4 where Cindy wanted to try marcias earrings on the 2 nd time season 4 where she gets on the television quiz show and gets televisionitis 😊
@Joy Miller same. It's usually a laundry room where they were. That's where like staff would usually go through, this service porch they mention, and that's what it's called from the outside. The help or service staff had a separate entrance.
Wow! Just saw your Brady Bunch "Have a Nice Day" poster catch! You've got a eye. I never would have noticed that if you hadn't commented on it. Thanks! What a hoot! Anyway... Have a Nice Day! ☺😉
That's what happens when you try to do Alice's work without asking for instructions. Nobody can take care of the house like Alice. She runs the house like a well oiled machine. Knows exactly what she's doing and exactly how to do it. Quickly, efficient and right. Alice would have shook out each laundry item before putting it in the machine to make sure nothing else went in with it. 😊
What a fine house that they filmed these classic shows in and it still looks the same today. ... Hollywood actually preserved that house probably with the same furniture too. ...
it's filmed in a studio. A house was overhauled in the last 5 years or so to look as close to their tv house as possible. There was a tv show done all about the making of the house.
In the episode where the can of green paint falls onto Bobby's head, he is seen soaking in the bathtub. In the first season, when Jan is supposedly allergic to Tiger, the family gives him several baths in the tub.
@@hyacinthlynch843 I thought it was just know as in my case the front porch and the back porch. Or as they said in older houses Veranda. Where the washing machine is, is just the laundry, oldies called it the wash house.
Carol Brady put some dirty clothes into the washing machine... one of the toughest thing a homemaker has to do. Thank you Alice for taking care of the family.
My mam, years ago was a ‘Maid of all works,’ and she used to tell us that the Brady’s used to treat Alice the maid as if she was like one of the family and the reality was quite different.
They did address the issue in the first season that Alice was unnecessary now that Mike was married to a full time housewife. But they planned an elaborate scheme to show they don't plan to get rid of her- probably because of a behind the scenes agreement to keep Ann B. Davis in the show.
I just realised something else, Alice has a excellent memory when she took the Towel and put it back on The Counter. God what's with these kids, can't they do one simple thing to keep the Bathroom Clean considering that Six Folks use it.
Good afternoon ! I never knew this series before , that's my first time ! And now , i can say for sure , i really did apreciate It ! Thanks and congratulations ! ⭐⭐⭐
Alice would have checked the laundry bag first before loading the Washing machine to make sure there was nothing in it besides cloths - it was Mrs. Brady's own fault.
Wah ! This is how i lost my gold cross minus the Brady's. The washing machine was never taken apart. I grew up watching this show. I was wondering why my family wasn't like the Brady's.
If Mrs Brady put the clothes in the washer why didn’t she turn the washer on? And why didn’t she separate the clothes you know like dark clothes from light clothes and sheets and stuff? Then she could have seen the earrings
Why in the world is there a "mature viewer" warning before these Brady Bunch videos? Who in the hell thinks the Brady Bunch were (or are) edgy or controversial??? They're as wholesome as milk from a farm cow!
@@gardengirl7446 Now that I think about it, I remember I saw Alice in (on?) the service porch with Sam the butcher when he brought over some meat. And she did say "That's what I call service!"
When I first saw these re-runs I was like 11 and I feel in love with Cindy when we were about the same age in this show. But she is actually older because they were re-runs. Its funny I was little.
socalgirlism I was more a Partridge Family fan because Im a Pisces born to like Music. I was young too, I thought Donny Osmond played Peter on Brady Bunch. And Danny on Partridge Family with that Red Hair, I thought only IRISH & SCOTTISH were born with Red HAIR & Freckels.
This reminds me of the time when I took off my expensive ring off and used a tissue to wipe it dry. I left the ring wrapped inside the tissue and left it sitting on the bathroom counter. I forgot about it and threw the wrapped tissue into the toilet and flushed it away. Expensive lesson learned!
Pro tip. If it’s not in someone’s pocket, it’s on the bathroom floor, if it’s not there it’s in the wash. Also make the kid pay for the broken earring or she’ll never stop stealing
At 3:19, Cindy can tell that she's really screwed now. Peter says at least the mystery's solved. Carol just throws down her arms and looks at Peter. The case being solved doesn't really make Carol or Cindy feel any better.
Looks like it’s been bent and twisted. It can probably be repaired by a jeweler but they can’t do it now because they don’t have time and all jewelers are probably closed.
I wonder if Robert Reed was wondering, "Why can't I be playing Marc Anthony in an action movie instead of just dressing up as him for this stupid show?"
@@splashenful he was an old school Shakespearean trained actor who wanted serious acting roles. "The Brady Bunch" was basically the last thing he wanted to do. He only took the role due to a contractual obligation.
@@anglobostonian He also tried out for the part because he needed the work and he was told by Sheerwood that there would be drama but Sheerwood decided to stick to the slapstick comedy but that was after Reed signed the contract. Reed probably felt like he'd been double-crossed. But he had no choice because of his contract.
Robert Reed was constantly complaining that things like this in the script didn't make sense, but the producer would invariably say, "You have a point but it's too late to do anything about it."
Well Cindy wasn't the only one who took Carol's things without asking. In Law and Disorder Marcia tells Greg that Bobby caught her borrowing Carol's bracelet without asking!
One big flaw in this series was how much the producers/directors infantilized Cindy, especially in the later seasons. When this episode aired I believe Susan was 11 and yet they still insisted on still treating her like a 7-year-old. For example, an 11-year-old knows not to take her mom's earrings without permission and would certainly not be playing around with them like a little kid. I can see why Susan despised the role.
That's a porch? Looks more like a room. Doesn't "laundry room" seem more logical? Surprised they didn't call the kitchen the "BBQ annex". Mom, Marsh is crying in the bbq annex?
Well it could also be called a mudroom because the door in it leads outside. If the door from the house leading to the service porch locks and acts as a real back door, then yes it’s a porch.
It’s annoying how the parents NEVER got angry. Even the parents in 7th Heaven and Full House did... in fact this is the only show that had parents who were always happy
No, they got mad at the kids on a few occasions. Eg: Back in the first season, Mike got mad at Cindy for telling Sam (Alice's boyfriend) that Alice was hugging the mailman, & getting her in trouble with Sam. Alice was only happy at the good news she received from the letter she got. Carol once gave Bobby a slap for climbing up a tree & injuring himself (after falling).
@Randall Johnson Greg was distracted by a car magazine when he was delivering blueprints on his bicycle. When the pack of cigarettes fell out of Greg's letterman's jacket he claimed they weren't his. Carol didn't get mad at him at all. She actually believed him and defended him when Tommy's mother accused Greg. Even Mike believed him when he told him what happened. And still Greg tried to solve the mystery of how the cigarettes got there. It turned out that he and Tommy got their jackets mixed up.
When Carol told Cindy, "All right, Cindy. But you and I are having a long talk about this tomorrow", that (to my thought) would mean not only a very long talk, but also Cindy would be grounded. Like in the other S4 episode "The Not So Rose Colored Glasses", Cindy would have to get her bicycle taken away for two weeks. But then, early in the morning, Cindy would've sold her bicycle to pay for the new ear rings (from the jewelry store). Cindy would've taken Marcia with her to donate the bicycle, then to buy the new wedding ear rings from the jewelry store. (Of course, as for the new wedding anniversary ear rings, the new ones would not have been the same as the first ones.) Cindy would've said to Carol (her mother), "I do not have a bicycle anymore. I sold it to pay for the new ear rings". (That was like how Jan sold her bicycle to pay for the new wedding anniversary picture and the new photograph. That is, after she ran into the first picture and broke it when she ran into it with her bike --due to not wearing her glasses.) But then, the punishment wouldn't suffice. That next scene would be like the "Cindy version" of the "Not So Rose Colored Glasses" episode. (This time it was Cindy instead of Jan.)
Beaver Cleaver once took a family heirloom ring to school without permission and damaged it. His parents make him write a letter to his aunt confessing what he did. But after he finishes the letter, they tear it up and forgive him because composing the letter was punishment enough.
In the S3 episode "The Big Bet", Bobby was bossing Greg around. He asked Greg to shine his shoes, take out the trash, clean his bike, and make his bed. And Greg also let Bobby beat him at checkers. But when I got to the part about the "drive-in movies" with Greg and Rachel, here is what I think about it. Maybe Marcia should've taken Bobby's place and tagged along with Greg and Rachel. And Bobby would have stayed home. You want to know why? Because Marcia (at the movies) would not be doing these other "dangerous acts" (such as asking for more popcorn, then pizza). (Bobby should've stayed home with the rest of his siblings Peter, Jan, and Cindy.) Greg would take Marcia for two reasons. One, Rachel would've been appropriate for both Greg and Marcia's age for activities/collaborations like that (such as the drive-in movies). Greg and Marcia (in the "Brady Bunch" TV series) are in fact the oldest two kids. And two, Marcia would've always been well behaved.
@jacobchang7165 Greg didn't have a choice he had to take Bobby to the movies on the count of losing the bet to Bobby. I still maintain that Greg could have gotten out of it on a loop hole but meh.
But in the "Big Bet" episode, I would've played completely different if that had been the case. You see, Travis? Marcia should've tagged along with Greg and Rachel (and every outing thereafter). Because Bobby was a pain in the neck on both Greg and Rachel. As you can see, Travis Karnes, I was trying to make an "alternate ending" about the "Big Bet" episode. Just saying.
Anyone else ever notice that they never showed this episode too often? Of all the BB episodes this is the one that I've honestly only seen two or three times. Strange.
All that chaos over a stupid pair of earrings? Mr. Brady is an architect and to feed 6 kids and a wife you know he is making bank. Doesn't she have like 20 other pairs of earrings she can wear? As if anybody cares about your earrings Mrs. Brady. Any pair will due. LOL
Not to mention that none of those kids ever wore the same outfit twice. Carol changes her outfit 3 times a day. And they were the HEIGHT of fashion in those days.
To conform to the line in the theme song, a last ditch attempt to rhyme with "girls", Cindy always had to wear some kind of curls (or braids, because she is a Brady).
Carol made a mistake in my opinion. When I do The Laundry I always divide everything, The Whites that I do first, then the Beige and other light clothes then the dark stuff last. I'm sure if she looked and double checked she would have found the earrings. Over the years, folks have left everything from ID Cards, and even Money in Their Pants and ruin them.
@@gardengirl7446 I remember reading Petals On The Wind, and Cathy saw Her Mother and her Second Husband Bart, walking along Main Street and she talked about a Breakfront and how when her Father Christopher died, they lost everything including The Breakfront.
I love how the whole Brady family would always work together to achieve a common goal. Finding Carol's earrings, finding Jan's locket, finding Mike's sketches in the amusement park and getting them back in time, finding Tiger after he ran away...they always made such a great team.
Shortly before he died, Robert Reed was on a TV commercial and said, "Back on the Brady Bunch, every problem was solved in thirty minutes. That's a far cry from reality..." But of course, I can't remember what he was trying to sell.
Oh no, the Great Earring Caper!
Carol is repressing great fury
I think we need more of those values
Don’t forget Bobby’s kazoo and Cindy’s doll. 😂
"Everybody has an alibi and there are no clues"...."thankyou".....hilarious

I agree, they were believable as a family. They all seemed invested in each other and the group.

😊 I ♡ the '70s! One my guilty pleasures. Watching TBB. Light weight drama & everybody helping each other. Most of the time.
"Service porch"? Man, this Mike Brady is a beast of an architect.
And now the original house is going to be renovated (retrovated?) to look like it did, including the interior, back in the day.
Sorry for the earnings miss Brady wanted to whare those?
Did this house have only one bathroom though? For all those people?? Lol

That's where like staff would usually go through, this service porch they mention, and that's what it's called from the outside. The help or service staff had a separate entrance.

Peter was the best comic relief for this show
“Well, where did you lose them?” The most logically flawed inquiry in the history of human communication.
Yep. They can't find them until they know where they are.
Loving the "Have A Nice Day" poster over the Brady's washer. Tres 70's.

Even Greg, guess he didn't have a date
Well, the whole family got involved in finding the missing earrings, hence they all went down to see if they were in the washing machine.
that was every episode
I've seen all 117episodes still one of best episodes episode 88👍😀😀😀😀😀
Why not? They were all curious.
She holds it right over Cindy's head at 3:17. 😂

Peter makes the cutest detective ever. 😋
1:59 Honestly the very first time I've ever seen the Brady's tub/shower
In the episode where the can of green paint falls onto Bobby's head, he is seen soaking in the bathtub. In the first season, when Jan is supposedly allergic to Tiger, the family gives him several baths in the tub.

It's Jan's fault for taking the laundry bag when it wasn't her job to take the bag.
Yeah, nice going Jan!
@@Nathan-jq1uw it's always bloody Jan ruining everything!
Naughty Jan! Ground her!
@@gardengirl7446 No more talking on the phone with her "boyfriend" George Glass.
No, her heart was in the right place. She knew how much Alice did for them.
With a military air !
That's a porch? Looks more like a room. Doesn't "laundry room" seem more logical? Surprised they didn't call the kitchen the "BBQ annex". Mom, Marsh is crying in the bbq annex?
Well it could also be called a mudroom because the door in it leads outside. If the door from the house leading to the service porch locks and acts as a real back door, then yes it’s a porch.
@@GoldenBearBecca but it's southern California no mudrooms there.
I feel like popping down to my bbq annex for the sushi I left in the fridge :)
It’s annoying how the parents NEVER got angry. Even the parents in 7th Heaven and Full House did... in fact this is the only show that had parents who were always happy
Mike punished Marsha that time when she was trying to win him Father of the Year.
No, they got mad at the kids on a few occasions. Eg: Back in the first season, Mike got mad at Cindy for telling Sam (Alice's boyfriend) that Alice was hugging the mailman, & getting her in trouble with Sam. Alice was only happy at the good news she received from the letter she got. Carol once gave Bobby a slap for climbing up a tree & injuring himself (after falling).
Even Florence Henderson admitted she was frustrated about that.
Technically Full House only had a dad
@Randall Johnson Greg was distracted by a car magazine when he was delivering blueprints on his bicycle. When the pack of cigarettes fell out of Greg's letterman's jacket he claimed they weren't his. Carol didn't get mad at him at all. She actually believed him and defended him when Tommy's mother accused Greg. Even Mike believed him when he told him what happened. And still Greg tried to solve the mystery of how the cigarettes got there. It turned out that he and Tommy got their jackets mixed up.
Dude gets a hat with two bills on it to do some sleuthing.
That's a Sherlock Holmes hat.
The dress that Florence Henderson is wearing is the same one that Bithiah wore in The Ten Commandments.
But did Alice use
Safe or Best
A moral of the story is when you touch something that wasn’t yours, that’s what happened
When Carol told Cindy, "All right, Cindy. But you and I are having a long talk about this tomorrow", that (to my thought) would mean not only a very long talk, but also Cindy would be grounded. Like in the other S4 episode "The Not So Rose Colored Glasses", Cindy would have to get her bicycle taken away for two weeks. But then, early in the morning, Cindy would've sold her bicycle to pay for the new ear rings (from the jewelry store). Cindy would've taken Marcia with her to donate the bicycle, then to buy the new wedding ear rings from the jewelry store. (Of course, as for the new wedding anniversary ear rings, the new ones would not have been the same as the first ones.) Cindy would've said to Carol (her mother), "I do not have a bicycle anymore. I sold it to pay for the new ear rings". (That was like how Jan sold her bicycle to pay for the new wedding anniversary picture and the new photograph. That is, after she ran into the first picture and broke it when she ran into it with her bike --due to not wearing her glasses.) But then, the punishment wouldn't suffice.
That next scene would be like the "Cindy version" of the "Not So Rose Colored Glasses" episode. (This time it was Cindy instead of Jan.)
Beaver Cleaver once took a family heirloom ring to school without permission and damaged it. His parents make him write a letter to his aunt confessing what he did. But after he finishes the letter, they tear it up and forgive him because composing the letter was punishment enough.
In the S3 episode "The Big Bet", Bobby was bossing Greg around. He asked Greg to shine his shoes, take out the trash, clean his bike, and make his bed. And Greg also let Bobby beat him at checkers. But when I got to the part about the "drive-in movies" with Greg and Rachel, here is what I think about it. Maybe Marcia should've taken Bobby's place and tagged along with Greg and Rachel. And Bobby would have stayed home. You want to know why? Because Marcia (at the movies) would not be doing these other "dangerous acts" (such as asking for more popcorn, then pizza). (Bobby should've stayed home with the rest of his siblings Peter, Jan, and Cindy.)
Greg would take Marcia for two reasons. One, Rachel would've been appropriate for both Greg and Marcia's age for activities/collaborations like that (such as the drive-in movies). Greg and Marcia (in the "Brady Bunch" TV series) are in fact the oldest two kids. And two, Marcia would've always been well behaved.
Cindy's punishment was stern talking to +having to do extra chores among other things.
@jacobchang7165 Greg didn't have a choice he had to take Bobby to the movies on the count of losing the bet to Bobby.
I still maintain that Greg could have gotten out of it on a loop hole but meh.
But in the "Big Bet" episode, I would've played completely different if that had been the case. You see, Travis? Marcia should've tagged along with Greg and Rachel (and every outing thereafter). Because Bobby was a pain in the neck on both Greg and Rachel.
As you can see, Travis Karnes, I was trying to make an "alternate ending" about the "Big Bet" episode. Just saying.
Anyone else ever notice that they never showed this episode too often? Of all the BB episodes this is the one that I've honestly only seen two or three times. Strange.
What?? There is no show even close
Seen this episode tons of times. The one that they didn't show for many years was the Xmas where Carol lost her voice.
,I've actually never seen this episode!
J Bro most episodes are streaming on Hulu/CBS apps. Watch all you want! However, they don’t have all, including the measles episode.
All that chaos over a stupid pair of earrings? Mr. Brady is an architect and to feed 6 kids and a wife you know he is making bank. Doesn't she have like 20 other pairs of earrings she can wear? As if anybody cares about your earrings Mrs. Brady. Any pair will due. LOL
Not to mention that none of those kids ever wore the same outfit twice. Carol changes her outfit 3 times a day. And they were the HEIGHT of fashion in those days.
some pairs you like more
Yeah but I think it's more about the principal, Cindy was dishonest
Mr. Brady was a shitty architect, he designed a building where the roof collapsed and on Christmas day of all days!
simplygu It’s the principle of the fact that Cindy was Not to touch something that was not hers !
I hope you find the earrings in the washing machine
I like that shirt dress at 2:40.
Very sharp...from a bygone era for classy women....
I was so disappointed when Cindy stopped wearing her hair in curls.
Cindy was growing up. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Why
@@Kbooty46 I thought they were the cutest thing ever.
@@lilacDaisy111 yea i agree the curls were cute lol
To conform to the line in the theme song, a last ditch attempt to rhyme with "girls", Cindy always had to wear some kind of curls (or braids, because she is a Brady).
Carol made a mistake in my opinion. When I do The Laundry I always divide everything, The Whites that I do first, then the Beige and other light clothes then the dark stuff last. I'm sure if she looked and double checked she would have found the earrings. Over the years, folks have left everything from ID Cards, and even Money in Their Pants and ruin them.
Pity you weren't on the brady service porch that day :)
Alice does all the work. Carol probably knew how to turn the machine on at that was it. 😂
@@rdbull5890 Ha! Ha! God Bless Alice.
@@gardengirl7446 Ha! Ha!. I remember seeing Movies where Folks do their Laundry and some are very efficient and some are "confused".
@@gardengirl7446 I remember reading Petals On The Wind, and Cathy saw Her Mother and her Second Husband Bart, walking along Main Street and she talked about a Breakfront and how when her Father Christopher died, they lost everything including The Breakfront.
Meh. Carol has enough bling on that costume. She really doesn't need the earrings anyways.
I know where the earrings are there in the washing machine
She forgot to mention what groovy pants Jan was wearing lol
Peter was such a dork in this clip.
i think sometimes they dumbed him down too, like Cindy
What's missing under the stairs? It looks empty under there...
That's because it is
In A Very Brady Sequel, Carol's archaeologist ex-husband comes to steal the horse statue from under the stairs.
It connects to the service porch!
@@katew.176 which leads to the bbq annex aka kitchen
