View Full Version : Jan Brady-A LOVABLE LOSER?-LOL
TVFactFan 05-14-2005, 04:44 PM I been seeing the TV LAND Promos for the TOP TEN:Lovable Losers-Nerds and Geeks and I was just wondering if someone could tell me why I'm seeing Jan Brady on the promos for the Top Lovable Losers? I really didn't expect to see a clip of Jan Brady in that promo
erin05 05-14-2005, 11:53 PM no, jan brady is not a loser, nerd or a geek. theyre probably going by the brady bunch movie, because she was portrayed (think thats the rite word) as a bit of a geek. but the REAL jan brady wasnt, i thought she was a lot cooler than marcia someitmes.

Belair 05-15-2005, 01:42 AM Jan Brady was made to be a loser in the Brady Bunch movies,but I dont think she was a 'loser' in the show.And loser is a horrible word to describe someone.
Tweety 05-15-2005, 07:14 PM no, jan brady is not a ... i thought she was a lot cooler than marcia someitmes.

AND WHEN THE BRADY BUNCH THEME STARTED PLAYING I JUST CRACKED UP!! lol i just saw it last week lol ...... yes jan brady isnt a loser:D
I agree..I thought season one Jan was a total cutie! In fact, I always thought that Marcia looked kind of dorky with pigtails that year. Cindy was very cute that year also, but Jan was cute AND very pretty as well...
I still remember when we first saw the opening credits for the fifth season... we wondered if a new girl was playing Jan...what a change from season 4, when she had glasses and braces...man, oh man... :happyface That's right folks...the Brady Bunch.... 1974 TV at it's hottest!
TVFactFan 05-17-2005, 06:30 PM Cindy was more of A NERD to me than Jan
Tweety 05-17-2005, 07:34 PM The only thing TV Land got right was the fact that Jan, in fact, was LOVABLE!
:heart: :heart: :heart:
erin05 05-18-2005, 03:33 AM yea thats rite! shes was such a lil sweetie! lol yea marcia was a nerd with pigtails lol. i thought she was very awkward in season 1, in the later seasons she got hotter and went from not being such a geek. i havent seen season 5 yet, but the shows are nearly at season 5 over here. jan brady a loser? puurrleaseeeee she was a cutie, sweetie, hottie, reaaalyyyy pretty and overall the best brady girl :)we love jan :D
Tweety 05-18-2005, 07:00 AM ...i havent seen season 5 yet, but the shows are nearly at season 5 over here.... :D
Do you mean that you haven't seen any episodes from Season 5 yet? Are you watching the episodes of the show on TV for the first time recently? So far, only the season 1 DVD is out (season 2 will be out sometime this month, if it hasn't come out already).
paisleynut 05-18-2005, 09:02 PM Glasses sure don't make anyone look like a geek. I especially feel that way about Brandon Cruz, who played Eddie on "Courtship of Eddie's Father". What a hunk he was as a guest-star on "The Incredible Hulk" at age 15, going on 16, back in April 1978. He looked great wearing his wire-rimmed glasses then.

yes :$ unfortunately lol. i can remember parts of the bb from wen i was lil lol and i saw one today! i could remember some of the kids in the family room sayin that they were allowd in the family room... (room at the top) and wen jan breaks the window, the kids building the card house, adn the bbs goin to the grand canyon. prime channel is playing them at 3.00pm b4 i get home from school, so i set the video everyday before skool and come home and watch them lol. i got intersted in them after wathcing the bb movie and growing up brady in the holidays once, they were on sky. so i jumped on the net, searched around, got betta informed and then i found out prime was playing htem and i went :o lol ever since theyve been playin ive been a HUGE fan lol.
Tweety 05-19-2005, 06:25 AM erin05... if I may, there's a book I'd highly recommend to you, as a relatively new BB fan...it's called "Bradymania" and it is apparently available on Amazon.com for $2.50... originally published in 1992, it contains plot summaries of every show, as well as biographical info on all of the Bradys (the book also mentions the death of R.Reed)... It has stuff like (1) 100 trivia questions, (2) 100 "guess the quotes" questions, the history of the show (including several of the later spin off Brady shows)... truly a must read... also talks about how the show was put together and has all kinds of other interesting little factoids...
Here's a link to Amazon's info about the book... I didn't check to see if there are any online reviews...

Generally speaking, I personally think that the 4th season was the best season for the show.
falc04 05-19-2005, 03:28 PM no, jan brady is not a loser, nerd or a geek. theyre probably going by the brady bunch movie, because she was portrayed (think thats the rite word) as a bit of a geek. but the REAL jan brady wasnt, i thought she was a lot cooler than marcia someitmes.
Jan in the BB movies was just portraying (in an exaggerated form, granted) what Jan did throughout the series. The silly looking black wig, making up an imaginary boyfriend, hearing imaginary voices in her head....actually, she really was kind of a geek (but I mean that in a good way).
erin05 05-19-2005, 03:54 PM oh, thanks! i have umm slyvia stoddards book, cant remember wat its called... and barry williams book, but ill take a look! thanks!
and hey! geeks can be hot... look at seth cohen on the oc! lol
thanks tweety :)
erin05 05-20-2005, 12:54 AM HEY guyz i just saw the adious johnny bravo, and yes eve is hot lol! more than maureen, she looks different somehow i dont know wat it is. maybe her hair..? not like a geek at all, and im just loving that bright yellow outfit ;)
Tweety 05-20-2005, 06:35 AM HEY guyz i just saw the adious johnny bravo, and yes eve is hot lol! more than maureen, she looks different somehow i dont know wat it is. maybe her hair..? not like a geek at all, and im just loving that bright yellow outfit ;)
Adios, Johnny Bravo is from season 5... see what I mean about Eve?
I think it was during the fourth season that Eve had braces... they were gone by the fifth season.. And she apparently wore contacts instead of glasses that year... and she kind of straightened her (already beautiful) hair, giving her a totally different look...
And you're right, she looked SO good in yellow! She also had an green outfit that year that she looked really nice in, the skirt was kind of a dark green... she wore that during the episode in which she's on the debating team...that episode is called "The Driver's Seat" and Jan's being on the debating team was a sub-plot, the main plot being a contest between Greg and Marcia as to whether Marcia can beat Greg's score on a driving test when she goes for her license.
too bad the green skirt wasn't a true "mini" skirt, like Marcia sometimes wore (and looked great in, I might add)... it just didn't get any better than 5th season Jan... I would definetly NOT consider her a loser, by any means... :) :) :)
erin05 05-21-2005, 02:20 AM god eve is gorgeous!!! maureen looks differnt thou.. i think its her hair..? i was watching the first season this morning, and i think out of all of the kids eve changed the most! i guess as everyone gets older they change, but eve changed the most. my brother was watching an ep of the brady brides, and couldnt work out who was marcia, or jan lol. noo way is jan brady a loser!
Tweety 05-21-2005, 09:27 AM Yeah, Marcia's hair was different during the last season...she used to basically wear it straight down, but did something during the last season, had some of it tied up somehow (I'm a guy, I haven't a clue what you gals out there would call it)... and Jan pretty much just wore her hair straight down in season 5...to incredible effect!
Also, I think Marcia looked a lot more "tanned" during the last season... don't know if it was from make-up or from exposure to actual sunlight...
Eve DEFINITELY changed the most from season 1 to season 5...the other season 5 kids at least resembled their former selves...but Eve... my word!! She was incredible, long before the Incredibles were Incredible.
btw Erin-another reason Jan wasn't a loser... she WAS voted Most Popular Girl at Fillmore Jr High..as you'll find out, if you haven't already seen that episode.
Vegas Girl 05-21-2005, 01:36 PM I think Bobby changed the most, going from the (phony) dark straight hair to the lighter colored wavy hair.
erin05 05-21-2005, 05:22 PM oh i remember reading bout that ep lol :) yea tv land are nuts :D ahhaa in the variety hour, i thought bobby was kinda cute ;) lol greg always done it for me :) lol i saw the credits for season five, and it was funny seeing them all different!!! lol chris's hair :o ?!?!??! lol woahhh and florences, better that her mullety thing lol tomoowrrr bradys on YAY!! lol
Brian Damage 05-30-2005, 11:27 AM Jan did play second bananna to Marcia.
