I need more info for the fight: is this Marcia with or without braces? Assuming that no footballs are allowed because of the “no weapons” rule, Marcia’s braces are her second biggest vulnerability.
No, they wimped out by having Peter (Adam Sandler) come out and get everybody to join in and sing “Change” together.
Toolalealoolalealoo!
I think homefield advantage would be important. If the fight is in the Bradys’ backyard, that astroturf could be the deciding factor.
As the OP, I gave this serious thought before I posted, and have reflected even more based on your responses.
Here’s how I see it going down.
The Side Card – Alice vs. Reuben Kincaid. Ordinarily this would be no contest - Alice would flatten Reuben with no effort. But we know that Alice later joined a religious community, and presumably doesn’t fight anymore. Since Reuben is totally useless anyway, they’re effectively out neutralized.
The Amateurs – Chris and Tracy vs. Cindy and Bobby. An amusing diversion but not much action. Cindy is stupid, but Tracy is scared of her own shadow. Chris (either or both) is no match for Bobby, so I’ll give the decision to the Bradys.
The Middleweights – Keith, Laurie and Danny against Greg, Marcia, Jan and Peter. On paper it looks like the Bradys again, but Danny takes out Peter in the opening salvo and evens the odds. As I said earlier, all it takes is one blow to the nose to take out Marcia. As long as she avoids a hair-pulling (or brushing) battle, I think Laurie can handle that. Jan may be smart, but she’s also a perpetual screwup and the voices in her head will offer conflicting advice. That leaves Greg against the three Partridges. Greg’s tough, but outmatched. Partridges by a knockout.
The Main Event – Shirley vs. Mike and Carol. Shirley is a single mother raising four kids (five if you count both Chrises). Mike and Carol were also single parents, but they only had three kids each, and they wimped out by merging families AND having a housekeeper. Besides, Shirley sings rock, while Carol sings at the Christmas pageant. Carol’s unlimited access to Wesson Oil will keep Shirley off-balance for awhile, but in the end, it’s the big bus all the way.
Partridges rule.
I thought one or more of the Cosby Kids came in and broke it up. I have a very specific memory of Mush Mouth in that sketch…
Wasn’t Mushmouth. It was Chris Rock as Dumb Donald.
They should have had a bunch of black actors as the Junkyard Band.
Thank Og for Comcast. Episode 18 of the Partridge Family just hit OnDemand. It reminded me that Danny became an honorary member of the Detroit chapter of the Afro-American Cultural Society, a group eerily reminiscent of the Black Panthers. You Brady wimps wanna reconsider?
And if we’re considering the best guest stars, let’s compare Richard Pryor and Louis Gossett to Joe Namath and Deacon Jones, shall we?
And let’s compare songs. One family will feel your heartbeat while the other wastes time changing and rearranging.
The Partidges are going to drop the Bradys like third period French.
