Do you think Jan made a big stink about the Aunt Jenny pic? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 12-28-2005, 08:22 PM

I am curious as to what you all think.
I think she made a big thing out of it.

Waterston_Fan · 12-28-2005, 09:21 PM

I don't know but she should have known that the genes would come from her parents not from other realitives..

Ireneparalegal · 12-28-2005, 09:39 PM

for real...what a cry baby she was in this episode. And she can't blame Marcia for anything regarding that issue.

Vegas Girl · 12-29-2005, 07:43 AM

I agree, she was making a big deal out of nothing.

Most of the episodes featuring Jan were about her "woe is me" attitude.

I don't think she made that big deal out of it, she felt that is who she would look like at that age. It's natural for a child to feel that way given how society emphasizes beauty. Who is to say she wouldn't resemble her Aunt when she got to be Aunt Jenny's age. My Niece's kid looks a heck of a lot like her brother, in fact he would pass for his son.

Imagine how crappy Aunt Jennie must have felt.

you could see her reaction when Mike and Carol told her abt why Jan was distant to her.

I considered Imogene Coca a real beauty, especially from seeing pictures and clips from her younger years in television. She was still good looking when she appeared on Brady Bunch.

Tough to put that delicately..

You see, Aunt Jenny...basically what we're saying is...Jan doesn't hate you...she's just really, really afraid that she's going to look like you some day...and that frightens her!

ouch...(I know, that's not what they really said, but they might just as well have said it)...

Was it clarified in that episode that Aunt Jenny was actually Carol's aunt (Jan's great-aunt)? She couldn't have been Carol's sister...

I think Aunt Jenny should have walked into the house with the family after Greg's graduation (in the last episode) and said "...when I heard that your Dad wasn't going to be able to be at your graduation, I was at the top of Mt. Fuji looking for Godzilla with the Emperor of Japan, and I said to him, 'hito, I gotta split, my nephew needs me'...so, here I am!"

Carol: Oh, Aunt Jenny

Greg: Thanks Aunt Jenny, for being there for me!

Jan: And I hope you can make it to MY graduation too! <smiles>

Aunt Jenny: Honey, King Kong himself couldn't stop me from being there, even if Mothra was helping him!

<all laugh>

<fade out to Brady grid>

Jan made a big stink about everything, Irene!!!

A friend of mine once quipped that Jan Brady was the Queen Of Teen Angst. If The Brady Bunch was being done these days, Jan would be the central girl character. She'd probably have a nose ring and dyed black hair. Marcia would be the oddball with her perfect features and blonde hair.

I don't know, I think Marcia had alot more things to cry abt. Can someone make a list of the crap Marcia cried and bitched abt and then one of Jan's complaints...I think Marcia has more than Jan. Jan just stood out more because i feel her character was made to stand out since she was the middle child.

Tweety, that was funny. I could even hear Imogene Coca's voice when I read that.

She had a great voice too.
