Katy M December 12, 2023 Share December 12, 2023 6 hours ago, Bazinga said: I discussed this above. It still doesn't work. From above: Possibly the final two categories, "Presentation" and "Literary Style" (whatever those are supposed to be), in which Jan gets marks of 10 respectively, are out of 10, but still doesn't work, as then the highest total possible would be 95. The teacher just deducted 10 points and thinks the total of 98 is still possible is equally nonsensical. The grading system being used by the teacher is incorrect, as it never adds up to 100. But, if just one of them is worth 10, then it does absolutely work, which is what I said. Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule December 17, 2023 Share December 17, 2023 I feel like such an idiot-I never knew that Santa in the first and only season’s Christmas episode was played by Otis from The Andy Griffith Show! Link to comment

Egg McMuffin December 23, 2023 Share December 23, 2023 I really hate the Christmas movie. It’s sappier and cornier than the series ever was. All the separate little dramas for each that were miraculously resolved by the end - ugh. And I pretty much disliked all the in-laws, like Greg’s wife, the New Gidget, who decided that her family was more important than the Bradys because of some aunt she hadn’t seen in a while. I also disliked uptight Philip. And loser Wally. Marcia would have been better off marrying Doug Simpson or Warn Mullaney. Even Harvey the bug boy might have been preferable; I bet he could at least hold a job. I even disliked de facto in-law Sam, who was a cheating bastard and also played by a different actor. 1 3 Link to comment
merylinkid May 26 Share May 26 I have failed as a spouse. Last night I learned my husband has never seen the Hawaii episodes. He was telling me about some article he read about an ancient idol being found. I was all "I've seen that episode of the Brady Bunch, don't touch it." He had no idea what I was talking about. 5 Link to comment

mmecorday June 21 Share June 21 I watched the one about Marcia's braces the other day. I guess no one bothered to do some research about braces. Carol says the the dentist put braces on Marcia's teeth, but doesn't an orthodontist do that? And in most of the scenes she's not even wearing braces. Link to comment

Never mind that Eve, Michael & Susan later got real braces (in real life) and it was never even addressed. That said, Jan’s glasses were real because Eve really needed glass. Then she later ditched them for contacts so she could be be hotter than Maureen. Sure, Jan. 2 Link to comment

Interestingly, it was during that Miss McCormick had that rather ugly cry about 'I'm UGLY!' when seeing herself with the braces for the first time which went far beyond what was necessary for the usually comedic drama llama character. As per her autobio, it had been shortly before the episode in which her male parent had meanly revealed that her poor mother had been born with syphilis which had hobbled her health her entire life (and the only reason Miss McCormick and her brothers didn't get it was that she took some kind of very strong medicine before the delivery).

Yeah, I know all the above is rather cynical but, yes, I did encounter rotten teachers like Mrs. Watson in my academic trek sometime between nursery school and college graduation. Now i wish to see Eve Plumb in an AI version of the 1976 DePalma film (no offence to Miss/Ms. Spacek)... 1 Link to comment
Dimity September 30 Share September 30 I posted in another thread that "Greg" turned 70 today. I guess we've been lucky that so far all the Brady kids have made it well into adulthood and some are in what has been coined 'the golden years' (not by me). Anyway happy birthday Barry and jeeze we're all getting up there! 3 Link to comment

Fool to cry October 8 Share October 8 Golden years involve going on cruises. Is Cindy on the game show the most satisfying humbling of a Brady child? Link to comment
tearknee October 9 Share October 9 Bobby having to watch Jesse James go on a shooting spree is more cathartic to those of us who hated that kid more than we hated Thindy. Link to comment

She was older and she treated her co-lead as if he were dirt under her shoe, wanted to change the script, etc. Whereas Cindy was just a brat and told Bobby she was just smarter than he was. Plus she was 8 or 9 to Marcia's 13. Link to comment
tearknee November 14 Share November 14 Why Marcia is anyone's favorite character, IDNK. Nancy Allen and Rachel McAdams have the skill to make their respective characters "love to hate". Marcia's actor just isn't on that level for any role. Link to comment
