Shark Bytes

I caught these on youtube and I thought they were pretty funny. Frankly, Phillip needed to get the acorn out of his bum. Wally and Marcia were funny. He was cute and loved Marcia for herself, not her looks.

As for "The Bradys", not a bad idea, but making Marcia a lush and Wally an idiot who couldn't keep a job really sucked. It made them both look lazy and stupid. Marcia couldn't go out and find a job now that the kids were in school....paleeze!

When the fahk was this on tv?

Remember the episode where Marcia and Jan and their respective husbands were chosen to appear on The New Newlywed Game?

They were nervous, so they decided to rehearse their possible answers at home. One of the pretend questions was, "What's your favorite part of a chicken to eat?"

Philip's (Jan's hubby) answer? Breasts and thighs.

The night of the show, Philip is asked what first attracted him to Jan.

Can you guess the answer he mistakenly blurts out?

Can you?

"The Brady Brides" was a veritable comedy explosion.

I really enjoyed this show 1st few weeks,thinking they were making progress and fresh joke territory;but after a few weeks I realised it had settled into what it was gonna be..there were not enough strong characters to keep it entertaining ;and the husbands were just annoying..I did start accepting and enjoying that Jan would be the strong one because middle=children do tend to develop that way and the prom-queen types tend to become more insecure..
This was still by far my favorite of the Brady spinoffs or movies,at least it attempted to be funny if not as endearing as the original;the other attempts were trying to be dramatic or whatever,something the Bradys were not intended to be.

I'll never forget what TV Guide's resident critic/curmudgeon Robert McKenzie said about The Brady Brides when it debuted in 1981. After noting that the fanbase for The Brady Bunch seemed to have a neverending thirst for more more more of their favorite teevee family, he opined that 50 years from now,

"...there they'll be, snuggling up in their rockers while watching Sis and Cindy in the Old Folks Home."

Prescient!

I often wondered myself why nobody bought a date or why no oliver but something else always bothered me about this show.

Are we supposed to believe that Mike would skip his own son's graduation yey give away both of his stepdaughters on their wedding day?

At least Dave "Killer"Carson was in it

Wow jghione, that is a very well thought out theory about why the boys didn't bring any dates to the wedding. My own personal theory is that Sherwood Shwartz and his hack son, were lousy writers, and they didn't think about it.

But if we must have a reason for the integrity of this story, I would say that, like their father, they were closeted homosexuals.

In response to one comment. Why didn't the boys bring dates to the wedding? Probably since (from the looks of things) none of them were seeing anyone! Is it really necessary to have a date for a wedding, especially if you're not seeing anyone at present? I know this from personal expreinece. And Carol had to move the date of the wedding in order for everyone to make it, so the boys (and Cindy) had to adjust their personal schedules in order to be at the wedding. Even if each of the boys could find someone, she might not have been able to adjust her schedule in order to make it. And Oliver--were we just supposed to assume he was at the wedding? And he was never even mentioned until he began appearing on the original series--no mention of him or his parents at the wedding of Mike and Carol, and you would think all of them would have been at that wedding. And we were also supposed to assume Sam was at the wedding, since he and Alice were now married, and even though she longer worked for the family, she remained friends with them. You'd think he'd be there with her. But I think it's safe to say Oliver's and Sam's presences wouldn't have made much of a difference to the plot, but just to see them briefly would have been a good homage to the original series, however. And with a double wedding, is it necessary to have bridesmaids? Cindy was like the maid of honor, but neither of the grooms had a best man, let alone groomsmen. Remember, though that in the original series, the kids's friends were just some unseen person with whom the kids were talking on the phone. But when we did see their friends, they were never the ones on the phone, nor did the same friends ever appear in more than one episode. The Brady kids always had each other, so there was no need for an Eddie Haskell or a Lumpy Rutherford on "The Brady Bunch." If Jan or Marcia had a friends acting as bridesmaids, they would probably be someone we never saw on the original series! And we would never see them again!

The horror...the horror...

Great reunion with the original cast. Why weren't Mike, the boys, Sam, Oliver, and Cindy guest stars in the show?

Day One. You had two of the biggest hotties in TV history and you marry them off to those two pathetic losers? A pathetic man-child and an uptight conservative dork.

The day the decision was made to extend the Brady franchise after the decently-rated TV movie "The Brady Girls Get Married" to an ongoing half-hour sitcom, the shark was already airborne. The movie was a nice way for the Bradyphiles of the '70s to "catch up on old friends." However, the premise was waay too thin to hold up a sitcom for any length of time. Even though the movie suffered from some Sherwoodian miscalculations (eg, Greg being a full-fledged MD only SEVEN years out of high school [at absolute best, he MIGHT have been a first-year resident; most likely,he would have been a senior medical student, NOT "Dr. Brady"], Jan as a relatively successful architect with a gorgeous apartment at age 22), it was enjoyable. We could suspend our disbelief for a couple of hours, as we had as kids during the original show's run. However, the idea that the 2 sisters and their husbands would "go in" on a house together, even in expensive LA, is a bit much to ask. As an aside, note that 2 of the 3 stinkeroo "Brady" spinoffs were put on after decent TV movies. Gee, ya think Sherwood & the network in question BOTH got a bit too greedy?

The Brady Brides was never award winning material to begin with, but it really jumped the shark when Wally shaved his mustache off right before the wedding. He was pretty hot in a 70s way with his mustache, but then he shaved it off and somehow it ended up on Mr. Brady.

THE BRADY BRIDES was yet another lame attempt to keep the Brady franchise alive that jumped the shark from day one. This show followed Marcia (Maureen McCormick) and Jan (Eve Plumb) after they both get married in a double ceremony and move into a house together with their new husbands. This show was beyond silly. Why would Jan marry such a straight-laced, anal-attentive nerd like Phillip? The best thing about this show was the wonderful Jerry Hauser as Marcia's husband Wally Logan. Without him, this show would have been intolerable. Florence Henderson just looked embarrassed during her occasional guest appearances as Carol Brady. What a stinker. I can still smell this one.
