merylinkid November 26, 2016 Share November 26, 2016 Decided to watch a Very Brady Christmas today in honor of Florence Henderson. Man, they could get old fashioned on this show sometimes. Remember when Jan got proposed to first and the parents got all "We always thought Marcia would get married first" instead of being happy for her? Well in this special we get: 1. Carol going into the travel agency and the lady calling the bank to verify the check. But they don't verify Mike's claim that he has the money for the trip. Then the lady snots "Mrs. Brady, if that's who you are." 2. They tell Alice she is welcome to stay and she doesn't work for them anymore, But when Carol is on the phone with Ted Roberts, you see Alice in the background on the rowing machine in her maid's uniform. Did the woman not get any other clothes once she moved out? 3. Peter is all "oh my girlfriend is my boss" how emasculating. Uggh. And don't get me started on everyone making out with their spouses/SO at work. Be professional folks. Leave that stuff at home. But, I still loved it. I still teared up at the end when they were singing Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Mike comes out of the collapsed building (even if Jan didn't get her personal moment with Mom, but that's Jan's life). 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-2779022
Dobian November 28, 2016 Share November 28, 2016 I grew up watching this show. Just to date myself, I watched the premier as a little kid way back in 1969. The Bradys were always my number one tv family and Florence Henderson was my number one tv mom. She was a permanent part of the pop culture landscape. The one silver lining was that it happened after DWTS finished and she had that wonderful tv reunion with Maureen McCormick. RIP Mrs. Brady. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-2783863
TheLastKidPicked November 28, 2016 Share November 28, 2016 Merylinked, thank you for posting about the movie. You are right-- we forget just how oldfashioned the show was, even in the movies. Still, it was fun to watch a family reunion and see just how all the kids were doing. One thing that was great about a Very Brady Christmas is the way they updated the house. They could have left it orange and green. They could have built a new set, with a modern home interior. But they didn't. They updated the appliances and painted things a little more tastefully. Exactly the way that most families would have done as they quietly updated their homes while time marched on. I really like small touches like that. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-2784225

But just to clarify, Bobby and Cindy never actually went skinny dipping. Alice caught them trying to go over to the neighbors' swim party without their swimsuits because the neighbors regularly had "clothing optional" pool parties. She made them go back into the house to put their swimsuits on. It was the same episode in which the older kids had started snubbing Alice because they thought she had turned squealer on them, and being snubbed by the older kids so upset her that she quit her job over it.

I think I liked Cindy best when it wasn't a Cindy-centric episode. Although, I did like the secret admirer episode. There was just something so something about her hanging up the phone, picking it up again to call him "secret admirer" and then hanging up again. And that's one of the episodes where Bobby is more palatable also, because although that whole thing was designed to blow up in his face, it was one of the few times he was doing something purely for someone else, and not trying to be ridiculous. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3458394

Exactly the way that most families would have done as they quietly updated their homes while time marched on. I really like small touches like that. Yeah, me too. When I think about it, back in 1988 as a 11 year old the distance of the Christmas reunion and the final BB episode of 14 years seemed huge. Now in 2017, 2003 doesn't seem that long ago or different, but thinking about it a LOT has changed. No Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, iPhones, the idea of the President being either African-American or Donald Trump both seemed unlikely. Also, we make fun of clothes and hair from the early 70s but early 2000s fashion was ATROCIOUS.

Love your screenname, by the way. Did any of you see the Nick at Night classic rewind where the kids are jumping on the trampoline, and Mike and Carol are cheering on the kids? And when they do the rewind you can hear: "Go get 'em Chris!" "Why don't you give it a try, Eve!" Wait?! Chris? Eve? Them calling the actors by their real names while cheering them on shows just how much thay cared about each other. I like moments like that, especially when it's on accident. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3850881

MarkHB December 14, 2017 Share December 14, 2017 The difference is that those fashions in the 70's (say, what we saw Mike in in the perm era) was actually what people might wear to work. These ladies here are apparently out clubbing; no one was wearing that as daywear in 2003. And I say this as someone whose mom bought him a leisure suit at age 11 (and I loved it!) 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3892728
GHScorpiosRule December 26, 2017 Share December 26, 2017 I admit it; I'm a SAP when it comes to certain episodes, and the Christmas episode is no exception. I ALWAYS cry when Cindy is asking Santa that all she wants is for her Mommy to get her voice back for Christmas. And that when Carol is singing in Church. Though I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the the almost...operatic way of singing, instead of how she starts to sing, when she realizes she's got her voice back. "He's better than a doctor. He's SANTA CLAUS!" *sniff* I just love that line; I don't care how corny it is. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3918221
Blergh December 26, 2017 Share December 26, 2017 Ann B. Davis sure proved more professional re keeping character than Mr. Williams or the late Miss Henderson proved to be in that trampoline scene- not only did she not call any of the other characters by the performers' names but she jumped on the trampoline in full 'Alice' uniform keeping her shoes and even her apron on! LOL Oh, yeah, that Christmas episode was the perfect place for Cindy's naivete saving the day! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3918267
Waterston Fan December 27, 2017 Share December 27, 2017 I watched the movie that was on ME TV but recorded it. Can't find it on Youtube now. I just realized one glaring thing of the movie, Mike and Carol tell both kids to keep the trip a secret so once the parents find out what they wanted to do for each other, the kids kind rat them out. What is up with that? I feel like Cindy for sure, everyone expect me to do what they want me to do.

It's especially poignant since it was just 13 months ago that Florence Henderson passed on. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3789-the-brady-bunch-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-3919486
