"Why do I always get peanut butter and jelly?"

"Because it's your favorite."

"Oh!"

LOL, true but some kids can be so stupidly cute as Cindy was. Of all the kids she was the funniest and probably wasn't intending to be.

It's all in humor and it's cute too.

I think Cindy had dyslexia too! Remember how she couldn't spell worth crap!

1. In "Vote For Brady" she copies the letters for Marcia's campaign poster all wrong!

"Alice said just to copy the letters, she didn't say how!"

2. In "Alice's September Song", Cindy spells Mark Millard's name as "MAKR MALDRIL"

I thought Carol said "Because you love them!" in lieu of "Because it's your favorite."

I do believe she wrote VTOE FRO MRIACA on the posterboard. I think it's clever for being a subliminal message, thinking MRIACA unscrambled is MARCIA. At any rate I thought VTOE FRO MRIACA was hilarious!!!

And after all, that was the Scrabble poster.

I think you're right.

I wouldn't say that Cindy was stupid, just, uh, "out of touch with reality". She was a bit naive and pitiful in the first years, but in the later seasons, she sorta got a little bit better, but still sorta "out there" for my taste.

She was definitely out to lunch during the episode where she went all Shirley Temple on us.

Amen. That story seemed like it was written for a seven-year-old, and Cindy was practically a teenager when she did it. If I had been Carol and Mike, I would have sent her straight to a psychiatrist after this episode.

One of the other Brady actors stated that that is exactly what happened. It seems that it was a proposed script for the 1st or 2nd season and that when they were short on scripts to finish out the 5th season they dug it up and thought "wouldn't it be cute to do this now?".

A surprising number of fans have commented that it is their favorite episode, and one interviewer even had the gall to say that to Susan Olsen herself!

A psychiatrist? Isn't that a little bit extreme?

I agree that it's extreme. She's just a kid, who's whole family was into drama. She's fine. She don't need a psychiatrist. If you come from a so called "normal" family, you couldn't possibly be that "gifted."

The thread title made me

Cindy wasn't stupid, the writers were.
