My favorite episode is "Out Of This World". When Greg plays a prank on Peter & Bobby,he gets grounded. This was my favorite
because the 'Martians' in this episode are the stand-ins for
Chris Knight,Eve Plumb,Mike Lookinland & Susan Olsen. I watched it this morning,and it was the best episode ever!

"Her Sister's Shadow"... that episode rox. And also um, I don't know the episode name but the one where Marcia tries to prove to Greg that women are just as good of drivers as men. And the Davy Jones episode. I have a lot of favorites.

How about the episode with Desi Arnaz Jr! I loved that one!

I absolutely loved the episode where Bobby gets the wrong idea about Stepmother's and wants to run away. I was balling by the end of the episode.

I remember the episode where Peter works for Mr Martinelli's bike shop and gets dismissed from the job. I could say fired but I'll use a tamer word. I know how Peter felt. I have had jobs where the boss says "you're a nice girl but the job just didn't work out, We are going to let you go. I would feel so awful. LIke a failure. Peter took it better than I did. Tears would stream out my eyes.

Guys,

Even though we have done this thread before, it's very cool! I will list my favorite episdoes in terms of best writing and content.

1.) Her Sister's Shadow

2.) Bobby's Hero

3) The Dropout

4.) Goodbye Alice, Hello

5.) Peter and the Wolf

6.) Juliet is the Sun

7.) My Sister Benedict Arnold

Her Sister's Shadow: is brilliant on all counts for writing, and believable situations. (Yes, I conceed that the stock pile footage from "Vote For Brady" was used for the school auditorium scenes and that part is cheesy) But I love the story.

Bobby's Hero: Is also brilliant on all counts and ahead of it's time for the conflict presented. Mike Looklingland interaction with Burt Mustin (Mr. Collins) is VERY POWERFUL. It is very emotional when he comes into the master bedroom and tells his parents that he is "turning in his guns and doesn't want to see another gun again." I have always said they should have used a real gunshot sound in the dream sequence instead of the Jessie James actor saying "bang!" But it doesn't take away from so many great things about this episode. I don't know why I have it as a two. I consider this and Her Sister's Shadow to be the best Brady Bunches ever produced. "Bobby's Hero" is the kind of content that should be shown in schools to send messages to kids. Yes, it it that good!

The Dropout: Beacause of the great acting between Barry Williams and Robert Reed as Mike tries to console Greg, after his 12-0 shellacking. Tears emerge from Barry's face and you can see the hurt in his voice and Reed's sensitivity toward the situation.

Goodbye Alice, Hello: Very emotional and the only Brady Bunch episode that moved me to tears seeing it years ago.

Peter and the Wolf: A great episode because it actually has some more mature humor and wit to it. (I wonder if the restrauent used, WAS a real restrauent around the Paramount lot,) Because this was the same place that was also used in scenes for Happy Days, this Brady Bunch episode, and The Odd Couple. Someone told me this about this place being in Happy Days.

Juliet is the Sun: Maureen acts as arrogently as Joan Crawford here!!! LOL! She is great in this episode! Poor little geeky Harold Axelrod as Romeo is pretty funny! She really cries when Carol decides with the acting teacher Ms. Goodwin to drop her from the play because of her star-trippy attitude. Great all around.

My Sister Benedict Arnold: I love this because it shows real brother and sister conflict and brings others into the conflict in a realistic way. The chemistry works and the "Cheerleading Scene" (i.e F...F... F I ...L) is classic comedy with no slapstick.

The best of these episodes is the seriousness of the theme and the content of the storyline and charactors. Tam Spiva, was script editor on all of the above. He worked with Robert Reed to keep realism in the show and these episodes show that!
