Poor Jan.
Mods pull if you wish.

Yikes. Corny as hell. This didn’t age well, esp. Bobby’s leads. But, oh my, Maureen McCormick was quite lively, wasn’t she?
A heck of a lot better time in this country if you ask me.
I can’t believe we watched these infantile shows. I’m 78. My kids know the lines by heart and they’re in their 50’s.
In the future: ‘The Rain, The Park & Everything’ by The Cowsills! (”I love the Flower Girl...”)
And some Bobby Sherman, and some Carpenters!
The Monkeys? How about some Jackson Five...back when Michael was a sweet little kid. Don’t forget Donny & Marie, too! :)
Have had the pleasure of getting to know Susan Olsen over the past 8 years. She’d be a great Freeper.
I use to love that show!
Growing up as a kid in the 1970s, I loved watching The Brady Bunch in daily syndicated reruns.
My parents split up when i was young. About 5-6 years old. Mother retained custody of us kids. After the split, she turned into this psychotic, abusive monster. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of tv as a way to provide myself with escape and comfort from my misery.
Out of the many, many tv shows i watched in daily syndicated reruns, the Brady Bunch was (and still is) my number one favorite tv show. The Brady Bunch tv show more than just entertained me. It helped me to preserve what few shreds of sanity I had as well as provided me with much needed happiness, laughter, and joy in an otherwise joyless existence.
More than once my mother said to my face, “I wish you were never born.” Can anyone see Carol Brady saying THAT to any of her 6 kids? Much less multiple times?
The Brady family i saw on tv is the family i wished i had. Nice, normal, loving, no abuse, etc. My desire to belong to the Brady Bunch family was so intense, that on more than one occasion, while I slept, I actually dreamed that I was a Brady family member. They are easily the fondest, most happiest dreams I ever had in my lifetime.
Dont get me wrong. I had no illusions. I was well aware that the Brady Bunch wasnt a real life family. Just a bunch of actors playing a part and real life wasn’t exactly like that (speaking as an abused child, I think I already knew that better than most).
But at the same time i just knew that the fictional Brady family was much more closer to how a family was supposed to act and behave. And the fictional Brady family was much, much more closer to happy, loving, and normal than my real life family, home, and circumstances.
Geez, what I watched just to see Marcia..... God she was a hottie.
Ok, admit it, who had The Brady Bunch lunchbox that they took to school?
Apparently Marsha and Greg had their own version of ‘sunshine’.
They were in Nashville about 18 or 19 years ago doing some kind of reunion, or convention of some sorts. I saw Marcia and Cindy standing outside talking to each other. Cindy was smoking a cigarette.
Of course, busy person, here you go!
Another fictitious TV family attempting to launch a music career, do you say?
Yes indeed, I do say. After the massive success of "The Monkees" and then "The Partridge Family", other popular TV shows at the time felt that they should also take a stab at establishing the cast as musical performing artists. Thus they could cash in on the popularity of the TV show by selling millions of records.
Can't sing? No problem. We can dub in the voices. Can't dance? No problem. A side-shuffle here, a handclap there and the kids at home will LOVE it.
And they did.
Jeeze, Russia should have just nuked us right then and there.
