I just started watching this show not to long ago and i love the Brady Bunch. There are alot of episodes i like and they are really good. I don't have much to say about it but i truly am a Brady bunch fan.

Architect Mike Brady (Robert Reed) is a widower with three boys. Carol (Florence Henderson) is also a widower with three girls. They meet, fall in love, get married and all eight live together with increasingly predictable (and stupid) complications ensuring.OK--I loved this when I was 10 years old but I eventually grew up and realized what utter garbage this was. The stories are terrible, trite and annoying predictable, the acting sucks and you want all these kids dead (especaiily the incredibly annoying Cindy). Its sanitized view of what a family supposedly should be like has traumatized generations of kids who feel that the Bradys are normal and they're not because their family is NOTHING like the one on TV. (Of course no family that ever existed is like the Bradys but you don't know that when you're a kid) Henderson and Reed are good actors but no one could make those scripts work. The only good thing about this show is Ann B. Davis as Alice who managed to be very funny and likable but, all in all, this is a terrible show.

It says pretty gender stereotyping things quite often, eg. Greg seemed unfair to girls, like when he tells Marcia men are superior drivers and the die she's be as good a driver as him would be a laugh. Maybe the scripts had the most gender stereotyping comments behind Home Improvement. It doesn't go that far, even Greg was in tears if he was upset. It also doesn't seem to make it seem like girls mentally mature faster, Greg was only a year older than Marcia and they always corresponded with what the boys and girls were doing as if they were the exact same age, plus Bobby's long hair in the later episodes. Mike Brady was no Tim Taylor and it wasn't downright insulting to men, women, boys and girls, but had pretty gender stereotyping comments. It's one of those shows where I say how could I not like it. The nostalgia, Southern California setting and I don't laugh a whole lot from watching TV or movies, but I may've gotten more laughs out of this than most shows.

remember this series, created by Sherwood Schwartz. Yes, it is silly, yes Carol and Mike have the perfect marriage (that no one has) and perfect kids who screw up, but learn a value lesson from their mistakes.I remember as a kid, watching this and my Dad laughing: "How come Mike Brady never works?", (lol); that is so true- no families were like this; BUT that is why people liked watching it.Carol Brady (Florence Henderson) is a bit too plastic, but always comes through for the kids. Jan is annoying, Peter was humorous, Marcia and and Greg as the oldest provided more interesting plot points. People grew up relating to the characters, or they wouldn't have made the 1988 "Very Brady Christmas".One favorite episode is the trip to Hawaii. It was a big trip for the Brady family, and American kids wanted to follow suit, take a trip to Hawaii and get lost in the tiki cave- chased by Vincent Price.It is good clean fun that kids used to watch- for a seven year old, I would rather have them watch this than some reality trash. At least this series was made before the more jaded era we are in now; and young kids still enjoy this show. Notably, Sherwood Schwartz once commented that he created this show with the 1970's American family in mind. Divorce was on the rise, and this show was merely wish-fulfillment. Interesting.
