The episode "Fistfull Of Reasons" When I saw this for the 1st time, I was shocked that they would show a Brady boy punching anyone. I know that Buddy Hinton was a little punk, but I never expected to see a show that spoke against violence and all about solving problems peacefully show something like this.

Was that the one where Peter punches a boy for picking on Cindy?

Well I think it's just a sign of the times, yeah the Brady Bunch was a non violance, BUT back then it was still pretty commun to get punched for mouthing off or being a smartass. Which I'm TOTALLY against, you don't have the right to put your hands on anyone just b/c they mouth off to you, but back then, I think it was pretty commun.

Buddy Hinton was the first person to throw a punch in the episode. I'm sure thety would have ever done an episode where a Brady threw the first punch. And they did try every kind of diplomacy first (Peter to Buddy, Father to Father, and Mother to Mother) before finally (and reluctantly) giving Peter the ok to fight back.

I don't think it was violent, you can't reason with a bully. I was once bullied in 6th grade. Kudos to Peter for sticking up for his sister.
