It seems equal to me.

I think Cindy and Bobby feel shortchanged, in comparison to Greg and Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

Wikipedia has a list of Brady Bunch episodes, with summaries. Greg is mentioned 139 times; Cindy only 62.

Mentions in article
Mike - 143
Greg - 139
Marcia - 117
Peter - 98
Carol - 94
Bobby - 92
Jan - 86
Cindy - 62
Alice - 56
Sam - 28
Tiger - 8

Instead of bringing in cousin Oliver, they should have brought back Fluffy in the last season!!

I would have been on board with that.

To me, each episode normally had a kid or two who had the episode as their story but the others always got a good look in unlike the two youngest kids on the Partridge Family. I don't know if it was, but it always felt very balanced to me. I think Alice featured the least overall.

In comparison to The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch feels much more balanced. But we all know how unbalanced TPF was.

This is what I thought as well.
