she also sang in the church chior…remember she lost her voice in the xmas episode
greg and marcia were not blood relations…so they could marry if they really wanted to…but the wholesomeness of the show prohibits that
and why did the girls have the last name of Brady?
They were adopted.
Wonder what kind of strange goings-on occurred in Alice’s mysterious, rarely seen, off-kitchen bedrrom? Hmm…wonder if Sam had a secret entrance to the boudoir so he could “deliver the meat” w/o the rest of the family knowing?
Anyone else ever notice that despite 9 people living in the house, they only bought quarts of milk? Someone would fill up a glass and the bottle would be 3/4 empty. Maybe ALice’s other job was running to the grocery store every 15 minutes.
On a sociological note, do you think any shows today will be such cultural touchstones as this one? I mean, if you’re a certain age, you can probably name every episode, line of dialogue, and plot point there is. I don’t see any shows today having that kind of effect.
Seinfeld, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Friends have seen-every-episode, quote-every-line followings.
I don’t know about X-Files, there. The first few seasons were great, but eventually the alien conspiracy stuff got too convoluted and paranoid for most people to follow.
I highly suggest reading Barry whats-his-name’s aka Greg Brady’s autobiography “Growing up Brady” came out in the early 90’s and HIGHLY informative… I liked the section that Greg talked about taping one of the episodes completely and utterly stoned out of his mind - something to do with fixing his bike… got it past Sherwood Schwartz though…
