What other "Brady" episodes made the list?

Wow, I had a hard time narrowing this down to ten episodes... I looked at all of the episodes that I liked, and narrowed it down to about 40 contenders...Here are pretty much my top 10, in episode # order:

#22 The Hero - Peter saves a girls life in the toy store

# 31 Confessions, Confessions - Peter breaks Mom's favorite vase

#42 Will the real Jan Brady please stand up? (The Wig episode)

# 43 Our Son, The Man - Greg gets Mike's den as his room

#54 The Personality Kid - Pork Chopsh, and Appleshaush

# 55 Her Sister’s Shadow - Marcia, Marcia Marcia

# 57 My Sister, Benedict Arnold - Marcia goes out with Warren Mullaney, who beat Greg out for 1st string on the basketball team by buttering up the coach...Greg teaches Marcia a lesson by bringing home Kathy Lawrence, who beat Marcia out for head cheerleader.

#76 Cyrano de Brady (featuring Kym Karath as Kerri Hathaway, Jan's one-episode friend who Peter has a major crush on...but alas, she only has eyes for Greg...btw, IMHO, Kym was absolutely the cutest guest star ever to appear on the Brady Bunch...man, when she wore that blue mini-skirt to school - when Peter got mud all over her - wow...what a babe :happyface ) Not incidentally, Kym played Gretl in the film version of "The Sound of Music"....she's still a babe today

89 Greg Gets Grounded (he ends up living by his exact words)

100 Peter and the Wolf (Greg & Peter Double date – starring Christopher Knight as Phil Packer, Greg's older friend)



Honorable mention goes to: #109 Miss Popularity - while not really that great of an episode (because Jan is so out of character, being portrayed as someone who will use people to get what she wants) , it still starred 5th Season Jan, who, as I've established on other posts, was a total, total babe!!



As far as the WORST episodes, the eps I never watch include:

# 0 - The Honeymoon (Pilot episode)

# 93 - You’re never too old (oh yes you are! this is the ridiculous episode with Great Grandma Hutchins and Great Grandpa Brady)
I think they got a local Jr. High school to do the make up for this one

# 95 Snow White and the 7 Bradys - If # 93 is not the worst ep of the series, this one probably is

# 107 Kelly’s Kids (I thought this series was about the Brady Bunch...yeah, I know, it was a pilot for a possible series)


112 Welcome Aboard (Oliver becomes the 1 millionth visitor to some movie studio)

113 The Snooperstar (Featuring Cindy as Shirley Temple)

115 Top Secret (Bobby and Oliver think Mike works for the FBI...I'm so sure )

Ten plus one:

Our Son, the Man

My Sister, Benedict Arnold

Getting Davy Jones

Dough Re Mi

The Big Bet

Cyrano de Brady

Greg Gets Grounded

The Subject Was Noses

Adios, Johnny Bravo

Peter and the Wolf

and

The Cincinnati Kids

Anyone know who played Linda, Sandra's cousin in Peter and the Wolf? That girl was very pretty.

I do, I do!

Linda was played by Kathie Gibboney, a/k/a Linda Gibboney

Phil Packer was played by Christopher Knight :)

Here's Gibboney's link at IMDB...
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0316520/

IMDB indicates that "Peter and the Wolf" was her earliest TV appearance... born in 1951, she was about 22 years of age at the time.

I found a picture of her from about 3 or 4 years ago. Some guy had his picture taken with her and she is still a pretty woman. I would post the picture if I could find it again.

This guy ("Ron Newcomer") has posted a ton of pics that he's had taken with celebrities... there must be hundreds of them... he even has one of my all time favorites, Melissa Sue Anderson.

The first link is the google result.

I'll post his pics of Maureen, Eve and Susan shortly

Here are his pics of Maureen, Eve and Susan:

And here is a link to the female TV/Movie stars he has... it's a pretty impressive list!

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Show/2764/

Peter and the Wolf
My Brother's Keeper
Never Too Young (Bobby's first kiss)
Everybody Can't Be George Washington
Greg Gets Grounded
Great Earring Caper

Those were the first that came to mind. I'll have to think about the last 4.

#89 Greg gets Grounded
It's surprising how few people mentioned this one even though they often talk about the frog on Rachel's head. Many seem to have this episode confused with #65 The big bet where there are no frogs or Pizza.

This blending of episodes in people's memories might make a good topic for a new thread.

#77 Fright Night
This is a cool episode which winds up teaching a number of lessons without being too preachy, and with no permanent harm or lasting consequence. Perhaps its unimportance to the overall story arc is probably why it was, for several years, seldom shown in syndication, though many identify it as one of their favorites.

#92 Amateur Night
I think this is a good episode despite several errors that slipped through [Marcia called Peter "chris", The lip synch is obvious when they are supposed to be singing live, twice they bow down while their voices can still be heard]. The two musical numbers are great.

Mike Looklinlad objected to the "begging like a dog" bit at the time but said later that he feels differently about it now. I was bit older than 12 when I did it for my dad's 35mm camera.

#90 The Subject Was Noses
Who could forget the scene where Marcia gets hit on the nose by the football? How about her nightmare (daymare?) where it is shown repeatedly,
or Marcia's story about Charlie beating up Doug, it really had me in stitches!

#99 Never Too Young
What young boy didn't fantasize about kissing Melissa Sue Anderson?

#101 Getting Greg's Goat
As rediculous as this episode is, it is one of the funniest sitcom episodes ever shown.

#113 The Snooperstar
This is a good example of someone getting their just deserts. Although many people, like Susan Olsen, say it is their least favorite episode, others really loved it. One commentator even had the nerve to say so in front of Susan Olsen herself!

It might have been better if it had been made in the first season as was originally intended.

#104 Marcia Gets Creamed
The thing I like best about this episode is how Jan turned out to be a better worker than both Peter and Marcia. Jan, who is somewhat shy, introverted and often more serious than her age would call for is the one Brady who, except for (obviously) her gender, reminds me most of myself.

#100 Peter and the Wolf
Who wasn't busting up the first time they saw Peter's mustache getting blown away from his lip or getting sucked in when he was eating popcorn? That look on Greg's face when he saw Mike was unforgettable!

#107 Kelly's Kids
I really like this episode and I wish the series this was supposed to be a pilot for had actually been made.

3. My Sister, Bendict Arnold
4. Two Petes In a Pod
