Kind of Watching It TV: A Very Brady Christmas

It was 1988 and it was time for a Brady Christmas. Oops, make that A Very Brady Christmas. By this point the cast of the classic 68-74 sitcom had reunited a few times. The most recent to this were a few debacles for NBC of all places. From what I can remember of this, Carol and Mike wanted to gather all the family members because it was storyline dictated.

In a few short years, we all saw how much the Brady's had changed, especially Cindy--someone else was playing her. The rest are pretty much the same. Marcia's hot powers are depleted by still being married to a loathsome dweeb. Jan was locked in a loveless and barely consumated union. Greg was a doctor and graduated with honors at Bedrock U. Peter fiddled with computers or something and dressed like a geek. Bobby was stripped of all of his acting abilities and decided to be a race car driver. Of course during the end of this everything was fine. Well not everything. I was saddened when Alice innocently came for a visit and those lazy Brady's put her back to work. The Brady's: Lazy, Selfish and Devilish...


From 1988 to 1990, Levi's and Dockers offered their popular Mike Brady: Mr. Construction Man Pantalones...

Never thought I'd really disagree with your assessment, but Marcia's hot powers were actually amplified significantly by being married to a loathsome dweeb. This makes Marcia vulnerable, and longing for the sweet release of...um...sorry. I'll shut up now.

Yeah the desperate Marcia angle, now that's a nice thought heh heh... You know she was longing for something with Wally in the mix. Wally, no woman deserved that...
