Shark Bytes

Just in case anybody was wondering... I'm not hurt or anything, I am okay!! I gave Robert Reed head and so he f*cked me in the a** just right( not too hard and not tooo soft, just the way I like it)!!! I am able to sh*t just fine!!! Thanks to anyone who was concerned!!!

F*ck Smartboy! If he don't give me head tonight, i swear that the next time I f*ck him in da a** i'm gonna f*ck him so hard, he won't sh*t right for a month!!!

The show never jumped. It must've been really awesome to be on that set. I don't know why Robert Reed had to be such a whiner though. If I was on that set you can best believe I would've keep him way too busy to worry about scirpts. He was HOT! I woulda been tappin that like every friggin' day!

This show jumped the shark when they added Carol's cousin Oliver. Man, that kid was just annoying!

Arms, I'm glad at least one person on this site sees it like I see it. Robert Reed had so much action going on behind the scenes with the Brady Boys, NAMBLA actually named him "Man of the Year" for the years 1970, 71 & 72. Reed was the ultimate Rump Ranger. I'm surprised Reed didn't demand that Sherwood Schwartz give him and Carol separate bedrooms. Seriously, Carol had to worry more about Tiger putting the moves on her than Robert Reed.

I see a lot of comments about how unrealistic this show was. The thing is, that was exactly the point of the show. I wanted to believe I had parents who cared about me enough to make me drink milk with every meal or spoil me with fresh clean clothes and pajamas to wear around the house. I wished I had the wholesome upbring. I had an alcoholic father and a mother who was never there because she worked two jobs to support us all. Friday nights were about slipping away into that magical little world of post-War bourgeois idealism. If I cared to see feral children scamper about aimlessly in a state of pathological codependency, I wouldn't have been watching television. I had to face that world every other moment of my life. Besides, it made Marcia that much more desirable for me to have her be so clean cut. She was the perfect girl next door. I have to say, though, that Jan got to be just as hot in the later seasons. They were all I wanted. My childhood, and by extension the 1970's, was a rather troublesome time. The Brady Bunch provided the opiate for just that golden half hour each week. Pocket John Denver is what killed the show for me, however. And for the record, the Partridge Family paled in comparison. Danny Bonaduce has always been obnoxious and annoying.

Well said DK...

And i believe the public have the right to know the truth about the brady's.

For example, Episode with guest star Wes Parker from the los angeles dodgers- They had to almost cancel filming cause rob reed kept spying on Wes in his trailer shower. BB definitely jumped the shark because this show was so unrealistic. I mean, 3 boys shaing a room together. You know that wasn't for space issues. I think The Brady Boys were caught on more than one occasion playing spin the bottle with eachother... and mike brady filming it. Alice the housekeeper the old maid? I think not, we all know she was stashing guys in her suite all along, thus earning herself the name Alice "bendover" Nelson. The 3 girls in one room? They definitely saw one too many episodes of sorority girls gone wild... Cousin Oliver- Mikes "personal assistant." enough said. Smartboy- Sherwood shwartz's personal assistant. This is the fight that ended the Brady bunch b/w schwartz and Reed/ They got in a fight over smartboy, they both were into the sackless comrade of the colon style...

I am finding the last post very hard to swallow! As long as it has been since I have even come to this site, peoples' quest to make fun of me lingers on! Oh for heaven sake!

Outstanding post ARMS...it's about time this page has gotten some decent commentary. Good point about Sam the Butcher and Smartboy. I'm sure Smartboy often fantasized about playing "hide the salami" with the Brady boys.

How about the episode with Tank Gates (Carol's old boyfriend from high school)? I saw a deleted scene from Sherwood Schwartz's secret vault where Mike and Carol get into a huge fight over who gets jump in the sack first with Tank. Mike "accidentally" spills a drink in Tank's lap and then says "Tank, let me help you get out of those wet pants." Carol is fuming because when it comes to her, Mike can't get it up with a crane, but now he has all this new-found sexual energy for Tank. Schwartz had to cut the scene due to time constraints.

Props to DK for pointing out the true reason for this show jumping the shark and for making me laugh! I heard that Sam the butcher served up a wole lot of jumbo sausage to Robert Reed straight from the freezer that he kidnapped Greg and Bobby into. It's to bad bad that smart"boy" and i use that term loosely, wasn't locked up with them. Alice certainly was spotted sveral times on her weekends off selling rocks on the street curb. Carol and Greg parented children in real life, while Bobby slept out in the doghouse with Tiger for more than one reason. And yes of course there was Robert Reed, AKA: President of the rainbow olympics. This show jumped when all the real life lives started to go south.

The book in a nutshell: Everyone had crushes on each other, Eve Plumb used to fart a lot, Susan Olsen got drunk (at age 12!) when the amusement park episode was filmed, Maureen had the hots for Barry "Greg" Williams and they kissed for the first time when they were in Hawaii. Oh, and Maureen was into drugs and sex. A lot. The book is 277 pages long; only the first 1/4 or so deals with life as Marcia. But it's a fun read and the baby pictures of Maureen (especially the one of her on the 4th page of pictures following page 86) are adorable. Marcia Forever!

This show jumped the very first episode because they tried to pass off Robert Reid as a heterosexual. Putting him in bed with a woman is about as believable as casting Pee Wee Herman as Rocky Balboa. Let's be serious, Mike Brady is about as masculine as Liberace. Marcia recently came out with a "tell all" book about life on the set of the Brady Bunch...but she certainly didn't tell the stories about Mike climbing into Bobby's bed at night to "comfort" him after a bad dream. Instead of the theme song going "Here's a story of a man named Brady", it should have gone, "Here's a story of a cross-dressing, fairie, pole-smoker named Brady."

Over on the "Brady Bunch" page of "Sitcoms Online" there is one post after another! It is clear that this is because of the interest that got sparked by Maureen McCormick's new book. By the way, I intend to have bought a copy of this book in less than twenty-four hours! In any event, I am surprised that there are not more posts here!

I grew up watching this show religiously every Friday night in first-run, too. When The Partridge Family started after it a year later, it always was like an also-ran in the Brady neighbors' shadow. It jumped to me when it stayed on one year too long, IMO. NOBODY - let's get it straight, here! lol - dressed like the Brady kids! Especially Season 1. By then, where I lived in Boston kids' fashion taste was a lot better and cooler even by 1969, than the Brady's Beaver Cleaver hand-me-downs. Girls Cindy's age didn't wear yarn-tied pigtails until they were 13, Marcia's ponytails were a bit much, and when they all dressed up in those ugly '70s dress-up clothes around the house all day in the last season - that was the closest they ever came to dressing like real '70s kids...but nobody would've dressed that neat and fancy around the house all day.

Mike and Carol, though, were like the first real TV '70s generation parents in the way they acted and dressed - especially Carol - from Season 3 on. Before that, Mike with his Sears mannequin image, and Carol with her horrendous miniskirts and monster helmet hairdo, were a primetime mess!

I used to pretty much be fascinated with the Bradys' hair...I couldn't wait for the new season, to see how they changed their hairstyles!

Okay, "Here's the Story" is the title of Maureen McC.'s book, I remmeber the title In the current Star (see the date underneath the posting, thru Oct.27), okay, I have it again here with me by the keyboard, and aw--found it. pp.42-43 is the article, small sub-inset (as it were) cover story. This month';s STAR magazine, which is date to Oct.27 as of this year (2008,l for future post-2008 posters here.) .
