I remember she looked like this when she did Dawn. The portrait of a teenage runaway. She was attractive and she met Alex the great.

Her older sister still looked better but i would say Jan at this point rivaled her in looks.

@@mygod5500 I love how everyone at the dinner table is giving Jan daggers 🤣🤣🤣

Jan’s cans

@Annie Wall So true. We used to eat together at dinner, just laughing and talking. Such a wonderful time it was growing up.🙂

We always ate together. When we were younger, my father would move the TV around so he could watch the news. Talking would be limited depending on what was on the news. 😂😂😂

We never did that when we were kids but I always wanted it...phones missed everythg up

We do that in our house. Its our number #1 rule.

@@annagalati34 The t.v. was off and no one answered the phone.

Yes bc they had an Alice to prepare the meals

We still sit together but everyone nowadays are on their phones

There was no sugar free Jello. Low cal was a piece of fruit.

And Cindy's top! What's with all the yellow?!

Gina Gagliastre earth tones and pastels were really popular in the 70s especially harvest gold, avocado green, and brown.

I personally think yellow is cool

Yeah, for kitchen cabinets as well as clothing.

According to Barry Williams, the kids were allowed to pick out their own clothes for this episode.

Agreed! The storylines in this season were absolutely ridiculous even for the 70s.

Yes Jan And Cindy were both beautiful they could’ve kept the show you’re right

Had they done that, up to what year could the BB have continued (it ended in 1974)?

@@kandacehead9544 At least until Marcia graduated....1976. Then, Jan could have been that teenage runaway and no variety hour! lol

@@millenniumman75 You mean Jan would have run away on the show and the variety hour would have still happened without her? Jan’s character actually did run away in the Brady Bunch Movie (1995). She was brought back home by the woman who played the original Alice (Ann B. Davis).

Haha yeah. Are you Sam the butcher?

Neato!

lol

There’s no good way to hug in a script where an attractive brother asks an attractive sister to be his date for a dance (???) and the actors are teenagers who are dying to rip each others’ clothes off. Awkward, but admirable under the circumstances!

You’re right that was a very awkward hug

What brother asks their sister to the school dance?

@EJSFilms2K Hah. Was laughing reading it and then laughed harder at your reply. Jim and Marshall. Lucky he didn't talk about Carl (Carol) or Alan (Alice), too. 🤣

She's hideous.

Beautiful wholesome girl, she would've done well on the Waltons

Yes looks like it is JAN JAN JAN now!!! Lol

Did you vote for her, as the most popular girl?

Simply Divine I did, now that you pointed it out lol

I did and they do it with laughs and other noises too..

Also notice the fact that nobody is actually eating the food. There is no food on their forks when it goes to their mouths. LOL

BMeister22 A Tyler Perry moment in “A Fall From Grace” lol

Yup!

Because of no GMO's and corn syrup in everything!

No microwaves to irradiate the food and kill it.

Or they are actors at the time who are covered and 15 pounds of make up. What are you on crack or something

They were all smoking dope.

When I was in Elementary School (1970s), all the friends I knew were healthy - because they were young Parents included and active physically. And the positive energy I remember help too. Sometimes, fiction and non-fiction overlap for the times. Of course!

LOL

I thought the same thing! Moooo! 🐄

no bull : )

don't even get me started on what i THOUGHT were the words to tv theme songs. Drove my brother mental. :D

Agree 100%

I always thought Jan was prettier than Marcia.

@@CadeD679 thats only because you're insane and weren't a boy when you first watched the show.

Bobby was cute too.

That was such a Gary Cole moment 😭

The Brady

That’s for sure!

Yes

Most definitely prettier than Marcia.

@@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen Echoed!!

i love peter

Same, girl, same.

Peter was the cutest, after all :P

queenofmusic5 No. Peter was the cutest one of the boys.

Awwww

MayMovieExpert I believe Robert Redford was out of town.

MayMovieExpert lol,🤣🤣🤣🤣

Personally if I were Jan I'd just stay home. The snobby town would have had a hissy fit.

Don't forget, neither Jan nor Peter were blood related, get it 🙂🙂🙂

George Glass couldn't make it.

I'm still trying to figure that out. Greg and Marcia got held back

Because her name is MARCIA.

It was a flaw in the writing, she was only 16 here and would have been a junior.

Senior in middle school. She would be starting high school next year.

James Trout they did that in the Davy Jones episode when they called it a senior prom and Marcia was in Fillmore junior high 7 8 and 9

Not surprising. If they don't remember The Brady Bunch as a weekly series, it was probably on after school in syndication, and they all likely saw the show many times. I know I saw all the episodes at least 3 times when I was a kid in the 70s.

@doso don Looks genuine. Florence Henderson may have been "out of character" for a moment and thinking of something else..

@doso don Seen other BB clips with the same scenarios - unplanned acting and went with it.

Kevin G actually 1 year younger, but you were close

@@tony_______ Kevin's right. They were all older than their characters - they still do that today.

The other day, after watching a few of these Brady Bunch scenes, out of curiosity, I looked up the birthdays of each of the people who played the six kids, and the dates on which the first and last episodes aired; I would think those episodes were filmed not _very_ long before the air dates, considering how quickly children grow. So..... Dates of Birth: Barry Williams (Greg): 30 Sept 1954 Maureen McCormick (Marcia): 5 Aug 1956 Christopher Knight (Peter): 7 Nov 1957 Eve Plumb (Jan): 29 April 1958 Mike Lookinland (Bobby): 19 Dec 1960 Susan Olsen (Cindy): 14 Aug 1961 Air date of first episode: 26 Sept 1969 Barry was 14⅞, Maureen was 13, Christopher was 11¾, Eve was 11, Mike was 8½, and Susan was 8. Air date of final episode: 8 March 1974 Barry was 19½, Maureen was 17½, Christopher was 16¼, Eve was 15⅞, Mike was 13¼, and Susan was 12½. Also, the last episode was when Bobby sold hair "tonic" to Greg, which turned his hair orange. Carol took Greg to the beauty parlor to try to get his hair professionally restored. They ran into two of Greg's classmates, who had just gotten their hair done for Commencement- aka Graduation! (In March? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe the original plan was for it to air in May? I don't know) So Greg was likely 17 or 18 in the final episode, a bit younger than Barry Williams.

Carol was pensive, deep in thought, and Alice startled Carol out of her thoughts. Mike's whistle was to get everyone's attention (beyond tapping on his glass and saying that he has an announcement to make, I guess), and get Jan & Peter back to the table.

He was whistling to get Jan and Peter back to the table

Step-sister

Mike Brady was reiterating an old Jewish expression, "Talk is cheap, people are judged by deeds."

If Mike started taking steroids and working out he'd look just like professional wrestler Psycho Sid Vicious.

@Draper Scott , they were spoiled kids. They had no chores and Alice was treated like a slave. What did Mrs. Brady do all day?

@Draper Scott , I never saw the kids do chores. Mrs. Brady must have been doing Mr. Dittmyer. She had so much time on her hands.😀

The pay was good.

@@dietrichjoanne Lo

@@dietrichjoanne Nice troll.

Her job is to serve the food not eat with the family

@@TheloniousJackson She did everything else with them.

That's because the pay phone Mike installed was too far from the table.

Jaison Jacob totally 🤣🤣🤣

Another of Jan’s hidden talents. She is a poet.

They were all awful.

I wouldn't go that far but yeah definitely learning curves for sure.

She did in later seasons as she felt too old for braids.

@@pinkfreud62 nah you're never too old for braids!

@@oooh19 She was a Braid-y.

@@TnseWlms That was a good one. But, she was also 'the youngest one in curls'.

Reed was HIV Positive but did NOT have AIDS - but what is your point of tying his health with his feelings towards the children on the show?

He did have a daughter I know. She appeared on the girl's sleepover episode when the boys were playing pranks. The itching powder scene. Seems gay guys back in the day had kids before coming out.

pinkfreud62 this wasn’t even a decade after the Stonewall Riots, coming out was a death sentence so gay men were basically forced by society to be with women back then.

Um, because a key 🔑 opens a lock 🔐 not another key 🔑.

He didn't have the aids in the 70s. That came later. There was no aids in 1971. It was still in the jungle.

Pussycat Alice's POT cookies

And using china?

Big deal; Big meal.

The episode was called Miss Popularity it was in the final season.

Thank you.

Miss Popularity that’s what this episode is called if you were wondering

@@nickhill8612 You’re welcome

Thxs

I had the long sleeve shirts and the vests, and of course the bell bottoms and hair like Peter.. LOL, yikes :/

Carols body always complimented her clothes no matter what she wore. She was an attractive mom. No wonder Greg got with her off the set. Lol 😁
