Which episodes did you really dislike?The first two seasons had some real good episodes(especially in first season),but most of the episodes from third season on ,were a mixed bag of good ones(likie when in a Mike-less epiisode in which the kids gave Alice the cold shoulder,convincing her to quit-I liked it when Carol,upon learning the truth,REALLY bawled out teen Greg and Marcia),and duds,like when they did the soap commercial,and the equally as dumb one with the late Natalie Schaefer.Anyway,back to the original question:Which episodes did you really dislike?

The Personality Kid is my #1 most hated, porkchops & applesauce got old quick.

The Babysitters
A Fistful of Reasons
The Tattle-Tale
Will the Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up?
The Winner
Getting Davy Jones
Dough Re Mi
Hawaii Bound
Pass the Tabu
The Tiki Caves
The Subject Was Noses
Adios Johnny Bravo
Two Petes in a Pod
The Hair-Brained Scheme
Welcome Aboard
Kelly's Kids
You Can't Win 'Em All
You're Never Too Old

The Hair-Brained Scheme was the worst.

and now a word from our sponsor and never too old

Soap commercial.
"Old" relatives of Mike and Carol

Those are really the only 2 that I can't stand. Every other episode is excellent in my opinion.

Off the top of my head ...

"The Winner" (Bobby wants a trophy so badly). Two things:

1. Kartoon King delaying the start of the contest TOO MANY TIMES (I lost count, LOL!), and

2. The kids giving him that award at the end. Say what you want, but to me that award wasn't official but rather given out of sympathy. I mean, he didn't get a writeup in the local paper or anything.

Agree! I don't care for the slapstick Tiger/Fluffy chase scene in the Honeymoon or "The Hair Brained Scheme." as well. But the others are good to excellent, and there are many that are outstanding!

Yeah,that soap commercial episode wasn't very good.I didn't like that one.

Vote for Brady (I don't think I've made it through that one in one sitting ever, but I do remember a continuity error out of this show. Carol tells Marcia that she gave up golf at one point, and 3 seasons later she gave it up so completely that she forgot how to swing a club in "Greg's Triangle".)

Juliet Is the Sun

I guess the common theme of these is Marcia crying. I never cared for any sad ep that had a kid or kids crying. One of my favorite eps is "The Show Must Go On". No one cried, got mad, or got hurt feelings, and it was pretty entertaining (Carol & Marcia's song) and funny (Mike & Greg's recital) on top of all that.

The Honeymoon (pilot) is one that I stopped watching long before the DVDs came out.

The ep with Carol's Grandmother and Mike's Grandfather... by far my least favorite episode ever. "Great grandpa Brady"... yeah, apparently he lived nearby, but he only shows up once and is never talked about after that. And I like Florence Henderson, but she was way too annoying as the Great-Grandma. And the make-up looked like a bad high school production.

The Shirley Temple episode. Cindy was way too old by that time to try to make herself into Shirley Temple. Some people say it might have worked better had they used the plot much earlier in the series...maybe so, but the whole idea was just stupid.

The Hare Brained Scheme was really stupid. Robert Reed was correct in his criticism of that episode. Kids trying to sell "hair tonic" was something out of the 1930s, and was way out of place in the mid-1970s. There were plenty of things kids could sell at that time (1970s) to make some extra bucks; comic books were full of such offers. But "hair tonic" was not one of them.



A lot of the earlier eps were stupid. "Dear Libby". Stupid ending.

"Eenie, Meenie, Mommy, Daddy" - what kind of a school would give each kid one ticket only? I admit that the idea of creating a conflict with Cindy was a nice idea, especially since this was a newly minted "blended" family. I don't know, there were probably a lot of better ways to do it, but a school play kept it simple I guess.


"Every Boy Does It Once" - despite the fact that Carol obviously loves him, Bobby allows some stupid TV show to convince him that Carol is an evil stepmother. Who ya gonna believe, the TV or your own eyes?


I don't particularly care for either of the 3 part episodes, or the Cincinnati episode, but that's probably because they were overplayed on TV. I can still watch them.

I was never crazy about the Davy Jones episode, but I was never a Monkees fan. (I like a lot of their music, but the TV show was stupid, and Davy Jones' solo stuff was just garbage)


Sgt Emma - I don't know any real-life identical cousins, but they were all over TV.


Also, I can't stand "Snow White and the Seven Bradys". The kids were way too old to be doing that crap.

I didn't like "Kelly's Kids" but I don't really consider that to be a BB episode anyway.

Don't like "Welcome Aboard" especially the movie studio stuff. Also, Oliver's parents are leaving the country, and they just leave the kid at the Brady's door, honk their horn and drive away? They don't even think it's worth their time to come in to thank Mike and Carol for taking in their stupid brat?

I know this is cliche but I despise most of the Cousin Oliver ones. He just didn't fit and the show was getting older then so anyone they would have brought would have been stinky.

The two that tend to drive me nuts are the one about the hair tonic and the Shirley Temple one. The Shirley Temple Cindy was way too old to be doing that. Another one I don't especially care for is the one with Harvey Klinger. I think it bugs me (no pun intended, lol)that Marcia decided to be someone she is not to appeal to a guy who is way below her league. Also, the one with Jan and the Afro wig.

Not the whole episode but any that have a far fetched storyline or subplot. Basically if it's not likely to happen in real life it annoys me.

They did some silly stuff, but the series overall has a pleasing vibe so I can't really say that I dislike any episode. Even the ones with cousin Oliver don't bother me, although it was pretty clear at that point the series was near the end. The hair tonic episode is OK, again silly stuff but I don't dislike the episode.

I agree. And I really loved your songlist too on our other thread that got closed. Feel free to either PM me on the board or e-mail me anytime.

Thanks!!

I agree with both. The King was really annoying. Plus, I never liked the idea of that special award they gave to Bobby. I thought that if anything, it would have just made him feel worse because it was just a pathetic sympathy gift.

Being a big Monkees Fan--The Davy Jones epiosode is what got me hooked on The Brady Bunch. There are some episodes that I like more than others but I dont think I hate any episode in particular. :wave:

That's my favorite episode.

"The Snooperstar"- Cindy Brady dressing as Shirley Temple, it seemed like an episode that was planned for when Cindy was younger, but they waited too long to make it(same with the Leave It To Beaver ep where the Beav dresses as as a bunny)

And even though "The Hair-Brained Scheme" is bad I enjoy it because of that.

There weren't any episodes I didn't like. I like just about all of the episodes of the Brady Bunch. Cousin Oliver could be annoying at times, but he wasn't nearly as bad as Ricky Segall on the last season of the Partridge Family.

There is no episode I really disliked,granted some were alot better than the others.Overall though I did prefer the last 3 seasons of the show,because in the first 2 seasons all the kids were too young and that affected the types of stories and humor somehow making the show a little less funny and interesting during those first 2 seasons.

That would work in the very first season.

I agree, I like the last three seasons much better than the first two. In the first two seasons, the kids yelled and screamed too much, all trying to scream their points to Mike and Carol at once. I understand that things happen that way many times in real life with kids that age, but they were just too noisy.

I liked the later eps better too. My least favorite episode was the one where bobby thinks no one loves him and decides to run away from home. That episode is so chessey and boring, i gag whenever it comes on.

the episodes i didnt like were
1-kitty karyall is missing
2-54-40 and fight
3-mike's horror scope
4-the un-underground movie
5-going going steady
6-the treasure of sierra avenue
7-our son the man
8-double parked
9-the personality kid
10-and now a word from our sponsor
11-the show must go on
12-adios johnny bravo
13-out of this world
14-the snoopstar
15-the hustler

I also agree. When I want to watch an episode of BB, I usually go to the 3rd,4th or 5th season sets. I can't stand the theme song, for one thing, during the first 3 years. the singing is terrible. I liked the later shows because the kids were growing up and the 70s clothing & hairstyles, and singing episodes were more prominent. Most of the things you remember about the Brady Bunch were featured later on. Marcia and Bobby looked so goofy in the first season:crazy: Of course there is good and bad in all the seasons. But I can't really think of any that I refuse to watch anymore:rolleyes:

I never liked the Hawaii one at all. I found the plot too ridiculous to enjoy the episode.

Anything that focuses on Bobby is hard to watch as are the Oliver episodes. Even the worst of the episodes are generally a pleasant diversion for the most part.
