I’m bored, can’t think of a better topic to post, so why not? Who was your favorite member of the Brady Bunch?

Well, I would _go_ with Jan, but I’d be thinking about Marcia.

I would have said Jan, too, until I started seeing her in interviews in the past few years. Ms. Plumb came across as somewhat shy/reserved. So, while I think she was, and is, the prettiest of the sisters, MM has her in the personality department by a mile.

Speaking as my pre-adolescent self, Peter was definitely the cutest of the brothers. Today I think Jan provides the most comic relief, or rather, the parodies of her do.
Thindy was always a baby and it _was_ a wonder she could walk. I was always jealous of Marcia, though seeing what went on behind the scenes and how her life turned out, now not so much. I never did see anything attractive about Greg and he didn’t age well either.

Peter, but mainly because the actor, Chris Knight, seems the coolest today, save for a certain high maintenance taste in wives.

Major crushola on Marcia. Christine Taylor’s twin sister look doesn’t help the feeling go away…

Easily Marcia who, with the exception of two episodes (where she played Juliet, and her first day of high school) was the grooviest

Jan. C’mon, she wasn’t psychotic, she just suffered from a classic case of sibling rivalry combined with middle-child syndrome. Although I agree it would be difficult to not think about Marcia while I was in the sack with Jan.

I was going to vote for Jan because she is really good at comic situations but then I realized that Marcia does the same thing in a purely straight role only better. That is a little harder pull of so I went with the popular choice - Marcia.
The Brady Bunch is AWESOME, there is simply no way around that.

Marcia just because I thought she was smoking hot back in the day.

I voted for Marcia. I wanted to be with her, but wanted to be cool like Johnny Bravo. So I figure if I had a million bucks, I’d be Johnny Bravo with Marcia.

In junior high, my voice started cracking during chorus practice, one of my first thoughts was of Peter.
