Wow! Interesting trivia!

Wow, thanks for sharing. I’ll have rewatch.

I knew I recognized her. She's also in MASH at least once.

I knew she looked familiar wowww

Just looked it up , I can definitely see it.

Her curlers!!🤣🤣

"Marsha Marsha Marsha"

Jan...is hoping..George Glass is one of the Judges.

Oh, yeah that's asking for trouble lol. So who are the ones that choose the ones that make Varsity at your daughters school? I think it was the Captains who decided at mine.

5,000? That's insane!

Yeah, there's no way it was ever done that way. They had coaches and assistants. They chose the teams, not the students. Ever. That scene had me in stitches, it was so off! And Greg and the boys were right. Pat was the best cheerleader.

Uh I think it's condescending and sexist for meh or boys to judge girls. Girls have enough on their plate growing up not to be forcefed that too.

@@bongodave13 When I made varsity, the entire student body voted. JV and Pom were judged by a panel.

Pat is the way we are feelin'!

She really did

why did everyone in the 70's have such beautiful hair what's the secret

​@@mishaa7263My friends used Herbal Essence or Long & Silky shampoos (although I have vague memories of something that smelled like honey) and washed their hair every day. Less product and not much hair spray hair and little blow drying or chemicals. Clean was the main thing. This was obviously before the big hair 80's and all the products needed to maintain it. I don't remember any other shampoos except for Prell.

Much more nutrient-rich diets and fewer heavy metals in the water.

@@mishaa7263 Less soy.

Why do think he married her😊

@@hugoweaving6275Because Pat Conway is played by Rita Wilson, his wife.

​@jenniferwellman5311 yeah that's right. This episode was actually Rita Wilson's very first TV show role.

Rita was hot for sure.

@@jenniferwellman5311 Hugo was being rhetorical

Oh, wow, good eye!

Now I have to go back and rewatch it😁

I noticed that!

I wish she would've sounded Ratchet!

70's Ally?

Yeah, the fourth girl must have been REALLY bad!

@@nassauguy48 I never even thought of that hahaha!

Same thought but marcia was the worst lol with her foot work 😂

I am glad they included the fourth girl. She must feel bad, as not even getting one vote, she came in last.

Yeah Pat was good

Right!! I want them!!

@@nataliewashington5904 Me too!

I had a pair just like them.

Lol! I think those were called MARY JANES? Someone verify this please? Hugs.

I miss the coool shoes of the 70's. I don't think they were called Mary Janes though. (I could be wrong).

I do agree about Jennifer. I feel that she felt that she didn't have to try so hard. She wanted the status symbol.

I wad thinking same no soul😅🤣😂

Pat definitely had the best moves and, overall, cheering technique. (She lost points as a result of running out of breath and not having the best ending. All she yelled was "Yaaaaaaayy"). Jennifer had better moves than Marcia (Marcia simply skipped up and down), but Marcia had the better cheering technique (Jennifer sounded flat and unenthusiastic). Jennifer had the better ending. ("Who's gonna win, tell me, who's gonna win, yaaaaaaayy, BEARS!") In fact, Jennifer's ending was the best of all. But the winner was definitely Pat, followed by Marcia and then Jennifer.

Yeah it's become an industry. 3 of my nieces were in that "industry" I thank my lucky stars my 2 daughters had no interest. Talk about an annoying all day YAWN-fest. No offense intended!

I was a jr high and high school cheerleader in the 70's. We were nothing compared to cheerleaders now, but I know we had way more fun. We had a ball. I'm 61, and I still think about all the fun times I had . I wouldn't trade that to be as competitive as cheerleading is now.

Well actually it wasn't to pick the whole squad. All the girls were already cheerleaders. This was to pick the head cheerleader. It's a little confusing why they didn't all wear the same uniform but then they wouldn't have had the previous situation earlier in the episode when Jennifer wanted an opinion on the outfit she was going to wear at the tryouts. Apparently it was a part of who gets picked to try to impress with wardrobe along with the other qualifications. Honestly though Jennifer didn't put a lot into the tryout because she figured she had Greg's vote.

Well, even though the plot was merely so Greg would have a moral dilemma, it's arguably metaphorical of real-life choosing a "head cheerleader". Is it someone who performs the best, is the most popular, or offers "favors" to the ones voting?

It's merely doofy script-writing by middle aged men. A male student judging a cheering competition? Never happened except in "Brady World". Although Phil Dunphy would be fine doing that.

It was the 70s. A lot of high schools were "open concept". This included empowering students by allowing one or two of them to vote on administration-faculty committees (in some cases, even school boards). Many schools did not have weighted grading, meaning that a student who achieved a 4.0 average by taking easy classes would be valedictorian over a student with a 3.99 average who took difficult classes. Some schools did not even have grading, just "teacher evaluations". It was all kind of a joke.

Marcia and Jennifer were both terrible! 😂 Pat was great!

Maureen/Marcia had a great voice

I think Pat actually was a cheerleader in her own life. She was not just acting. It was her specialty. The others were great but Pat was simply better.

Yes! Tom Hanks wife, Rita Wilson, was the best. 😊

Yes, I agree. Her team spirit seemed honest while Marcia and Jen’s was a little contrived imo.

...and those nylons.....

Well, we don't really know that, do we? Maybe Jennifer gave out for him, and he still backstabbed her by voting for Pat! Now, THAT would command respect! 😄

Apparently not .. he and Mrs Brady ?

"Not sunglasses,... shades" 😎

Leave Jan alone. 😅😢😂 Everyone always picks on Jan.😅😢😅

@@tammyclay62 Okay. Who do you think I should "pick on" instead? LOL.

@@loveforeignaccents Not Peter. He's sensitive.

@@bongodave13 LOL. Duly noted.

@@loveforeignaccents I feel mean for saying this, but little cousin Oliver never belonged on the show.😪😪🤧

The white guy in the glasses, the white guy in the blue, and the guy in the yellow.

Marcia might have secured Greg’s vote if she offered to fellate him…but she probably already did that dozens of times by then. 😂

@@rsmith7994Where did that occur, in bathroom with no toilet or in Mike and Carol’s bedroom when they were away?

My guess is at sküle, probably under the same tree where Jan and Cindy caught Greg smoking and where Peter punched Buddy Hinton. That seems to be a perennial hot spot for Brady activity. Of course, the shared bathroom sans toilet need not be completely ruled out; it still contained a bathroom sink, right? 😉

@@rsmith7994 Yup. Perfect place for Marcia to spit!

Me too!!! lol! Crappy quotes like Alices, "my get up and go has got up and went", "pork chops and apple sauce" and "broken down barnacle barge" randomly pop into my head. Why couldn't it be something useful. I am a moron. lol!

true but also it wouldn’t fit into the plot.

Oh yes Marcia

Yeah exactly...love Marcia in pantyhose.

@@scallywag325 oh yeah

Some guy named "Corrado" said the same thing about his nephew "Tony" as a varsity athlete as well . . .

@@murphyotoole9014 on account of he had small hands

That's how I scored it too

Pat: perfect performance Marcia: passable performance Jennifer: pathetic performance

I was a little kid during both shows heydays. The actress played a deceitful girl on both shows. I think she quit acting in the 80's.

It's TV 1972..lol... it's a life lesson.. fair is fair:)..And what high school has teenage boys judging the cheerleaders😅

Haha! 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

Well at least they didn’t get into a hair pulling fight like today

I agree. In the 60s and 70s, they were huge. Then they got smaller and smaller. A friend of mine calls the modern ones Qtips.

Rita Wilson probably cheered in high school. She was the only girl who actually performed like a real cheerleader.

Yes!

She also played Agnes Platt on an episode of Threes Company. There were hijinks in Jack’s Bistro, i think. She was Larry’s blind date and before she showed up looking very hot, he was afraid she would be a dog because her name was Agnes…she also kicks Jack and thought his name was Zack. Lol!!

@@Mister_Listener Larry was pretending to be Jack. Agnes slapped both Jack and Larry.

@@RichardGarza-zo9mo lol. Yes!! It is amazing how many lines i remember from that episode. Didnt jack say “….you’ve got real sharp shoes. “? Lol.

in the unlikely event of a 3 way tie which did happen. greg should have had a sleep off with the 3 contestants to decide the winner

Greg was not bi.

@@cocoaorange1 You are right - Greg was not Bi. 😊 Greg was actually - Try. 😊 He'd try anything !!!

Lol yes!! Wasnt there a girl at the party who kept mispronouncing SEATTLE, too?

@@Mister_Listener Oh God, LINDA! Linda from Se-ATT-tul! No, that was the episode when Greg had a crush on his math teacher. Her name was Linda, and somebody in the house found an anonymous love letter he wrote to her. And so, Alice and Carol, with nothing better to do, tried to track down every girl named Linda, thinking that she was one of Greg and Marcia's classmates. And when the mispronouncing girl showed up at the house as one of Marcia's friends named Linda, Carol gave her the third degree, only to find out that she and Greg did not even know each other. That girl was absolutely awful, how in hell did she pass her screen test? Was she related to one of the producers or writers?
