The Brady Kids were real bratty in season 1 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 07-22-2006, 01:30 PM

Being pests when they all came down with the measles, Cindy acting bitchy whenher doll was missing, the boys and girls fighting over a clubhouse, alll of them being asses when it came to using the phone, forcing Mr. Brady to install a pay phone, Bobby not feeling loved, etc. They were bad in season 1.

I'm surprised Mike and Carol didn't start drinking. They had a good reason to.

And don't forget Peter letting his good, heroic deed go to his swelling head, which got everyone irritated, after saving that little girl from that falling shelf at Driscoll's toy store. Of course, there were like a few nice things those kids did. Like Marcia surprising Mike by nominating him Father of the Year, Cindy's Christmas wish for Carol, who had laryngitis, to get her voice back in time for the Christmas church service in that holiday episode, the kids' help in investigating on who sent that locket to Jan and how it got lost when it disappeared later, the kids making Alice feel needed, and the kids helping around the house when Alice sprained her ankle while Carol was away.

JMHO, but I'll bet a lot of this can be attributed to the first season being really the only season where the "blended family issue" was a huge part of the story lines, and lots of the perceived "brattiness" may stem from blended family conflict (which is why most of the "boys vs. girls" battles occurred during the first season). All other seasons drastically downplayed the "blended family" element with relatively few mentions (mostly coming from how long Mike and Carol had been married at a given point in time).

^I agree, and to the shows detriment.

Weren't we all brats growing up? We were all pains, the only difference is that they were on TV.

I was a pain as kid, but not like them. What ticked me off about them is that they all acted that way to get their own way. I hate kids who get their own way.

Yeah, true. But don't we all like getting our own ways in life? Don't we all? LOL!

They were probably at their brattiest during the measles episode, between fighting over the doctors and the way they ordered Mike, Carol and Alice around. I know if I ever told my father "Well give it to the king and get me some bologna!" the way Greg said that to Mike I'd be smacked upside my head.

Hey, at least their behavior was somewhat realistic then. Everything got too predictable later on...

SKay · 05-29-2007, 09:40 PM

For some reason their yelling at each other in the first season gets on my nerves more than it does in other seasons. Whether it was louder, higher pitched, or lasted longer I don't know.

My, you can't possibly be talking about all of US???

You must be thinking about some OTHER kids out there!

Kids will be kids. This season was a good way to begin this series as it showed them as ordinary kids and we watch them grow with maturity through to Season 5.
