Any thoughts?

I can't think of any this moment but was wondering what everyone else thinks.

clj2 · 07-13-2006, 12:40 PM

Kelly's Kids and any other episode with Oliver..

TVFactFan · 07-13-2006, 01:07 PM

The one when Bobby was a POOL Star-lol

Jack1000 · 07-13-2006, 01:35 PM

My votes,

You're Never Too Old: Carol and Mike dressed up as...........GRANDPARENTS??!!!! Haven't watched it in 15 years despite owning all the series on DVD and never will

And Now A Word From Our Sponsor: Whole episode is sheer overacting. Hated of Skip Farnum is very strong! Content is artifical, corney, and stupid!

Billy K. · 07-13-2006, 02:44 PM

Now you have my brain going....if I had to pick right now they would be:

1) The Snooperstar
2) Out of This World
3) Kelly Kids
4) You're Never Too Old
5) Alice's September Song

A camping we will go....that episode was so pointless....

BuddyHinton · 07-14-2006, 11:19 PM

The Snow White Episode is HORRENDOUS. How did Robert Reed agree to that one?

falc04 · 07-15-2006, 10:37 AM

'Kellys Kids' was pretty bad, but 'Your Never Too Old' had to be the worst.

dbcoopercatcher · 07-15-2006, 11:39 AM

Loved the show. But, any episode in which an actor played dual roles, made me turn the station. For example, Alice playing her cousin the drill instructor, Peter playing a dual role as a kid from school who looks like him but wears glasses, and of course, Mike and Carol playing their own grandparents. Whomever wrote these episodes should have been fired. but, I guess they ran out of ideas.

db

They should have had me on an episode. LOL

I like that one just because Jim Backus is in it.

I agree with Buddy Hinton, I can't stand the snow white episode.

I also don't like the one where Cindy tries to be Shirley Temple. She was way to old to be doing that.

BuddyHinton · 07-15-2006, 01:02 PM

"I also don't like the one where Cindy tries to be Shirley Temple. She was way to old to be doing that."

Not to mention Shirley Temple should have no relavence to children of the 60's -70's making the whole script unbelieveable.

I also liked the pool shark one b/c Bobby is so pompous

I'm on season 5 and the 3rd episode is the snow white one; I just skipped it. In general I typically do not like shows where the cast is out of their "element". Plus I hate it when the costumes; etc are WAAAY too good for an "at home" or "at school" play, you can easily see these were all furnished by Hollywood and it totally loses any believability (the Thanksgiving ep. was better for this). Plus Sam is embarrassing.

The Flying Dutchmans · 07-15-2006, 03:08 PM

I hated a few of them, I did not like the one where they are picked to do a commercial for laundry soap, and the 2 that Falc04 mentioned.

PrettyinPink55 · 07-16-2006, 01:55 AM

I didn't like the one where the grandparents came to visit. I never got into that one.

James · 07-16-2006, 02:28 PM

Here is my "worst list":

#39 "Tell It Like It Is": Carol writing for the magazine "Tomorrow's Woman"; I did not like how they wrote in the Buddy Hinton beat up Peter because I thought he learned his lesson in "A Fistful of Reasons." Then they had Carol resubmit the original article, which they rejected at first. It angered me that they made that decision when they found out the Bradys were a weird bunch.

#46 "The Winner": I HATED all the suspense Kartoon King put us through before the ice cream eating contest!!!

Why wasn't all that cut from the TVLand version instead of the infamous "car swap"?

Then again, I hate suspense in general.

#93 "You're Never Too Old": I hate it for the reasons other posters have already listed.

#94 "A Room at the Top": I hated the drama that resulted from Mike and Carol both thinking that their eldest child had no competition for the attic.

#101 "Getting Greg's Goat": I didn't like the "misunderstandings" and comparisons to what I thought was a really, really bad show, as well as Greg being a "bad guy."

#108 "The Driver's Seat": I thought that the line about picturing the audience ... be that as it may, this was a family show and inappropriate.

#111 "Two Petes in a Pod": See "You're Never Too Old".

#116 "The Hare-Brained Scheme": My main fault was Oliver's line to the effect of "Parents aren't interested in talking about ..." and I'll leave the last word out so no one will be offended.

Also, I could have done without the very lame drama of the boys getting lost in the "Tiki Caves" in Hawaii, Bobby and Cindy getting lost at the Grand Canyon, or Mike accidentally getting Jan's Yogi Bear poster at King's Island. Why didn't they just have the family plainly and simply having fun? I have never had such "rude interruptions" to any of my vacations; I've gotten sick a time or two, but what transpired on The Brady Bunch was ridiculous. The Brady Bunch was a comedy, not a drama!!!

passionsfan79 · 07-16-2006, 04:28 PM

Hmm for me Kelly Kids,And where Marcia trys to join the boys scout,And where the Grandparents came to visit it was an okay episode but not my favorite.
