I think it is realistic since some men are really like that, but the unrealistic part it that the women are treated/made to look smarter when in a household such as that they are usually both like that (blithering idiots). So what you say is true. And no the solution isn't showing the woman as one either, make them both be idiots, its usually how it is. Either they are both like that or neither of them are. And thats exactly what this show is, they are both smart and competent and while neither are perfect either they compliment each other in the perfect way.

Wasn’t Mike Brady into Cobb?

@@claytonbrown7120 No. Robert Reed was. But what I thought was really nice about Robert Reed was, all the kid actors on the show later praised him for how much he looked out for their welfare on set, made sure they didn't work too long hours, made sure directors treated them well on set, etc.

*At least we know that Robert Reed didn't bring his private life onto the set and there are no stories about him trying it on with the cast. Got to give him that at least, at least one actor who kept his dignity*

@WarriorofLight Back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's fathers were depicted in TV shows more respectfully. Today the father character is really made into a joke in such shows like Married With Children, The Simpsons, and Family Guy. Sadly it's in part to the modern day breakdown of traditional family values that America once had cherished.

She could have just made one cake and waited to write the message on it. Of course, nowadays the family would have texted her the final score.

Something for everyone

Fact : Alice baked 50 Better luck next year New York Jets but ran out of icing,the letters were 56 cents each.

@@kandacehead9544 Well that's what made the show fun. "Nowadays" didn't exist back then and who knew what the future would be like, we had enough preoccupation. Maybe in 2050, people will just use telepathy.

Did you get to be an extra?

so cool

You know it's southern California in the valley in the 70s... You can see the huge smog cloud in the background. It's either a smog cloud, or the vague outline of the mountains... which are, of course, obscured by the smog. I moved to Arcadia CA in the summer of 75. I was 13. People told me that there were mountains right to the north (the San Gabriel Mountains) that were so beautiful... So close you could reach out and touch them. I moved from Pennsylvania, which just has rolling hills. No mountains to speak of. Anyway, I went out every morning and looked to the north to see these majestic mountains that the local natives would speak of. I literally saw nothing but brown/gray. Couldn't see them AT ALL! For a week, I thought they were just yanking my chain. Then one day the wind blew from the east and cleared away the smog.. And Behold!! The valleys got it so bad because the prominent ocean breeze would blow it right up to the mountains and it would just park there.... For weeks at a time!!

@@ejomo11 Did all the clean air acts and the catalytic converters clear away the smog? It's not still the same in 2020 as it was 45 years ago, is it?

😂

watch the Brady Bunch movie instead.

Hear, hear

This was just a tv show. This wasn’t real life

Morals? The dad was banging other men off camera, the son took the mom out on a date, even the brothers and sisters had romantic liaisons. Some morals.

@John-ct9zs key words "off camera"... no one knew then... hence my "back then" comment

Well, it's never too late.... and it can start with the one who gets up every morning and looks in the mirror to comb her hair.

@@tangerinerose3724 ... but he means that things were not as they seemed and even today things are not all that they seem. Again, good change starts with the one who looks in the mirror every morning.

@Keith Green So cool!

😎😎😎😎😎😎

Unlike the silly tattoos and geeky, close-cropped military haircuts of today...

Back when men had jobs 😂😂😂 you are as smart as a brick, looks like woman haven’t changed a bit ;)

I don’t like that permed hair …ugh!

Could say the same for 90's girls' style, hair, vocabulary, and hobbies

@@Xavier_Creighton I’ve always loved the 70s style, the big rolled hair and high waisted flares 😂❤️

Aaron would not be happy with Jerry either.

Rewatching this as an adult, I see Maureen was a better actress than one would expect. She chose/was directed to have a high-pitched "young" delivery, but even from S1, her casual "throw away" lines were always so natural and confident.

She showed great restraint, not throwing a glass of ice cold lemonade in his face!🤭

Yes, I so agree with you. This is one of my favorite Brady episodes. Maureen McCormick's performance in this one scene was brilliant. The way she conveyed her feelings of betrayal, after discovering she got played by this loser. She expressed her disappointment without overdoing it. It was modest and mature. There was nothing melodramatic about it. Her eyes did most of the talking for her. It was perfect. 🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@LoisCandler Exactly 👏👏👏

Lol Yeah I thought the same thing and then I thought well maybe it was his father’s office but then I’m like Nah Not with those football posters.

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching the clip before reading your comment! Totally inappropriate for a high school student unless it was done to imply he was a rich kid. He certainly had the air of one, and it was well played by the actor.

"Jerry"...was played by Jim McMahon, who, well...turned out to be a pretty good pro Quarterback!

😂

@@cardtrix1970 That wasn't Jim McMahon.

charles woodhouse Eddie was the name of Greg’s friend who sold him the Chevy convertible lol

He also played Greg's friend Hank who tried to talk Greg getting his own apartment

@@jeffreybaker100 i remember that

Sitcom moonlighting

People had imaginations back then 😎😛

they dress nicely still

@@ElizabethGlasby Too many people - both men and women - don't take pride in their fashion they way they did in the 70s and 80s.

@@FischerFan Because now it's about name brands. They will wear rags just because they are name brand.

Back when girls were skinny minnie

Rick Shaw It’s about our heart: GOD sees our hearts!!!!! What we wear should be modest/ but it’s not important if it’s in fashion or anything else!!!! That’s just superficial. Yes/ though we should dress for the occasion. But it shouldn’t be a main focus.

Or Ellis

@@duayneclarke8366 Or maid.

Jerry Rogers didn't listen to Greg when he came clean about the phony playbook shows how dishonest he was. Westdale won fair and square.

Honest people believe others, liars always suspect everyone of being dishonest!

ComixAndCartoonPro - Another view is that it would be wrong to allow the entire team, coach, and school lose and suffer due to one person's dishonesty. If you were on Jerry's team, how would you feel about that? At least Greg did the right thing by letting Jerry know. After that, it was on Jerry to do the right thing. The consequences fall on him.

Yes, but then both Greg and Jerry would be dishonest. The higher principle is to be honest. As it turned out, Jerry was dishonest, but ultimately, Greg was honest.

Robert Reed vs Mike Brady

@@aaronb381 Reed hated his Mike Brady character.

@@Andrea-xs4ny The consequences did fall on Jerry and Fairview, as a result, Westdale won fair and square.

I'm surprised he wasn't a Dolphins or Sterlers fan since those 2 teams were quite dominant back then. I'll settle for the Bills

Oakland was in 6 of the last 8 AFL-AFC Championship games and Baltimore had a turn of best team in league and SB Champs around the shows run. The episode was probably filmed in 1973 at the latest when Miami was just starting to emerge from chumps to champs with former Colts HC Don Shula. Steelers dynasty wouldn't have started until after this episode aired, so early for them. I would have also accepted LA Rams, who were the local team. Not great, but good during this era. Steelers and Rams def on the wall if aired 1974-80. Cowboys and Raiders as runner ups.

All they needed was Houston Oilers, St Louis Cardinals, and San Diego Chargers and Jerry would have posters of all the cities the NFL has hosed since 1973

Hollywood makes the best parents (and kids) ever.

Lol!!!!!

@@metalneighbourslover4817 because Greg was trying to prove he was using her and she didn’t believe it so they planted the phony playbook to see if Jerry would steal it and when he did, Marcia realized Greg was right.

Well, with that many in the family, it'll be dessert for the rest of the week. Yum!

good grief.....all she'd had to do is wait to write on it at the last minute.....

atlantic1119 she had way too much time on her hands,lol🤣🤣🎂🎂

You're right, in fact Alice should've went to the game. Also who dressed the Brady kids,nobody wears those clothes to a football game,even if this was around 1973. Didn't the boys own any Levi's dungarees?

She could give one to a homeless shelter.

Blame it on teenage hormones!

Marcia had a thing for football players. A few years after this show ended, she was in an after-school special type show called When Jenny? When? as the title character, a troubled teenage girl who slept with most of the school's football team.

Any cake looks beautiful to me.

It looked delicious to me!

Lmao

Lol

Not sure Al Davis would...😏😏😏

Yeah I would have been stupid too and won over with his charm. He was dreamy LOL.

@Andrea Mendenhall Maybe he means episode...?

Yea, the BB was for all ages. 14?? Come on! lol

Probably because most BB videos have disgusting comments.

Marcia shows her boobs at the very end.

Too wholesome and too many good values to impart to a generation of sick and confused kids who have no family role models.

Oh man, that is great! I am laughing to beat the band! 🤣🤣

There was a case in real life where Oklahoma coach Mike Leach in 1999 planted a fake offensive plan on the field a Texas assistant picked up and used that made them go down 17-0 in the first quarter. But they figured out it was fake and came back to win 38-28. So it almost worked in real life but in the end it still backfired. Lesson is cheating doesn't always work either. Funny thing that coach is now at my local school Washington State. Has helped turn them around.

No, winning is important. It's why they call it winning.

@@gosnooky Love your ethics. Are you an illegitimate son of JR Ewing? I can tell you've never been screwed over or doublecrossed. Maybe because you're the one doing the screwing.

I think he looks like nuclear man from superman 4

Ha, i remember that part

Yeah, forget the damn game -- he was dating Marcia Brady!

Millennials

doso don ironically the bell bottoms of the 70s came from the sailor pants from the 40s. The hippies in the 60s repurposed the fashions from the 30s and 40s from secondhand stores and they ended up going mainstream in the 70s.

@todd long Millennials aren't reproducing.

FUN FACT: Bill Belichick's first coaching gig was as "special assistant" for the Baltimore Colts right after this episode aired.

Its called quarterback sneak
