"Oh!"

LOL, true but some kids can be so stupidly cute as Cindy was. Of all the kids she was the funniest and probably wasn't intending to be.

It's all in humor and it's cute too.

I think Cindy had dyslexia too! Remember how she couldn't spell worth crap!

1. In "Vote For Brady" she copies the letters for Marcia's campaign poster all wrong!

"Alice said just to copy the letters, she didn't say how!"

2. In "Alice's September Song", Cindy spells Mark Millard's name as "MAKR MALDRIL"

I thought Carol said "Because you love them!" in lieu of "Because it's your favorite."

I do believe she wrote VTOE FRO MRIACA on the posterboard. I think it's clever for being a subliminal message, thinking MRIACA unscrambled is MARCIA. At any rate I thought VTOE FRO MRIACA was hilarious!!!

And after all, that was the Scrabble poster.

I think you're right.

I wouldn't say that Cindy was stupid, just, uh, "out of touch with reality". She was a bit naive and pitiful in the first years, but in the later seasons, she sorta got a little bit better, but still sorta "out there" for my taste.

She was definitely out to lunch during the episode where she went all Shirley Temple on us.

Amen. That story seemed like it was written for a seven-year-old, and Cindy was practically a teenager when she did it. If I had been Carol and Mike, I would have sent her straight to a psychiatrist after this episode.

One of the other Brady actors stated that that is exactly what happened. It seems that it was a proposed script for the 1st or 2nd season and that when they were short on scripts to finish out the 5th season they dug it up and thought "wouldn't it be cute to do this now?".

A surprising number of fans have commented that it is their favorite episode, and one interviewer even had the gall to say that to Susan Olsen herself!

If I had been Carol and Mike, I would have sent her straight to a psychiatrist after this ["The Snooperstar" aka Shirley Temple] episode.

A psychiatrist? Isn't that a little bit extreme?

I agree that it's extreme. She's just a kid, who's whole family was into drama. She's fine. She don't need a psychiatrist. If you come from a so called "normal" family, you couldn't possibly be that "gifted.";) :D

The thread title made me :rofl:

Cindy wasn't stupid, the writers were.

I don't think Cindy was really stupid, just kind of "scatterbrained", kind of like she had a missing X chromosone (Turner's syndrome). Of course, Susan Olsen lacked the charcteristic swelling at the back of the neck and didn't seem short for her age.

In an interivew Susan Olsen stated (jokingly?) that Cindy had an IQ of about 70.

Givin all of this reminicing of the episode known as the "Snooperstar" there is one point that I raised that I am quite surprised and a little bit sad that nobody has commented on! This is the similairities in situations between Cindy's bubble being bursted at the end of this episode and Katie's bubble being bursted at the end of the "Gimme a Break!" episode known as "Samantha's Protest". In my opinion, both girls truely got what they deserved for acting the way that they did throughout the episode! I know that I have stated this dozens of times before, but I am saying it again because all of my previous posts have been pushed off of the front page of this section. My last post on the subject is titled "Realization" and it is on the second page of the format. In this thread, I mentioned having first saw the parrelells between Cindy's bubble being bursted shortly after Cousin Oliver was introduced to Katie's being right after the addition of the Joey character. Shortly after I post this message, I will go to the "Gimme a Break!" page of this site and see if there is anything new. If anyone gets through all of my posts on this page and the "Gimme a Break!" page of this stie and still wants to read more, they can go to the pages regarding both shows on a site called "Jump the Shark". One last place you can go after that is the "Official Site of Lauri Hendler". Because the character of Julie was the one that I had a huge crush on, I loved seeing her proven right when she said to Katie "he was not whistleing at you! He was calling his dog!" Take care guys.

I have to ask...why do you keep posting the same post on different shows? This post here is almost identical to at least two other ones...here is one on this thread:

Maybe the writers had just seen a rerun of Snooperstar.

Ever noticed how a plot is hatched on one show and it gets repeated ad infinitum on other shows even though it's so absurd it probably never happened in real life?

In the late 70s it was a guy meeting a guy he has hadn't seen or heard from since highschool, only to find out that he is now a she. Then his wife sees or finds out about him being with a strange woman instead of his old buddy and gets jealous.

In the 80s and early 90s someone would take somebody else's baby to a park and would come home with the wrong child, not realizing it until they changed its diaper and discovered it's the wrong sex!

:lol: I know we had a thread on this board somewhere where we talked abt how writers of tv shows must resort to old scripts of other shows and just substitute in the names of the characaters and up-date anything that is outdated. :lol:

It is also tv cliches that writers resort to. ;) I can see many people saying, "I feel like I have seen this before." :lol:

I remember reading in TV guide once that writers sometimes DO recycle old scripts from old tv shows.......not that anyone seems to mind :lol:
