The Kids' Adult Careers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who would've thought the kids would end up in these professions?

Greg-Doctor
Peter-Air Force/Corporate Lackey/Enviromental Volunteer/Campaign Manager
(seemed he couldn't make up his mind on what to do)
Bobby-Race Car Driver (I forget what he was doing after his accident)

Marcia-Fashion Designer/Housewife/Caterer
Jan-Architect
Cindy-Radio Disc Jockey

of course, Carol got herself a lucrative real estate career and Mike ran for city council and won.

If I would have wrote it:

Greg: teacher and baseball coach at high school or college level

Peter: entreprenuer of some sort

Bobby: homeless bum

Marcia: Real Estate partner with Jan

Jan: Real Estate partner with Marcia

Cindy: movie theatre manager

For Bobby, I would have had him in the casino business, since he was always doing those stupid bets with Greg and was so competitive because of his stature.

It would have been ironic if Peter went on to own & operate a bike shop.

Dr. Thong · 07-02-2008, 02:36 PM

I'm surprised Jan didn't end up, or at least spend some time in, an institution. All that pent up "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" rage would have to have manifested itself somehow.

I never bought Greg as a doctor. He wasn't that bright. He strikes me as being more of a salesman.

I would see Peter strung out on dope, having felt so inadequate and nerdy compared to his siblings. Probably living in some hippie-like place. He would spend his days getting stoned and whining about his life.

As for Marcia, I see her as a failed actress. She would constantly wash out at auditions and wonder why, because she's so beautful. "But I'm so beautifullll!!!"

Bobby - race car driver. Yeah, that's about right.

And Cindy, of course, would become a speech therapist.

ok, that's funny, Dr. Thong

But they are Bradys and Bradys never have serious problems--remember they all blocked out doing The Variety Hour and had sister Jan temp replaced by some talented "fake" singer and dancer!

What's funny and ironic is that while Marcia was easily the most popular of the sisters, "Fake Jan" is the most famous (or infamous) of the Fake Brady Girls.

We were subjected later on to "Fake Cindy" and "Fake Marcia," but Geri Reischel will forever live in infamy as a pioneer. I'm surprised some talk show hasn't gathered the Fake Bradys and done a show about how being a fill-in Brady has ruined their lives.

Jude The Obscure · 07-03-2008, 11:40 AM

Yea, such ruin! Jennifer and Leah have had their careers be a non-entity, while Geri thrives on the pop culture market!

Is she making money off it somehow?? Appearing at fan conventions or things like that? At least she doesn't let it bother her. Unlike the real Jan, who doesn't like being associated with the Brady Bunch. She'll show up for a reunion if the paycheck's there, but she seems to have a disdain for it.

Ironic careers:

Greg-- 3rd baseman (he always got that far, but no farther) for the Angels, where the Dodgers dodged him in interleague play, but he always got their goat anyway

Marcia-- surrogate nurse or plastic surgeon; in either one she maintained high professional confidentiality and was never nosy

Peter-- glass blower, specializing in decorative vases; but he has had a tendency to betray his customers with low grades of glass ever since he got his B.A. (Benedict Arnold) in that field

Jan-- distributor of nun's habits; a middle managment position in which she supplied sisters (and for a long while she dated George, Peter's glass supplier)

Bobby-- tour guide in the Grand Canyon; when he finds lost children, he calls Chief Jimmy, whose cellphone rings the William Tell Overture, in memory of his grandfather, and he comes to take them back to their folks and give them a new name

Cindy-- speech pathologist and part time cocktail waitress, because she likes short dresses and showing a little underwear (but she hates serving Shirley Temples)

Jude The Obscure · 07-03-2008, 05:46 PM

She has a radio show with the guy who played Raj on What's Happening!! on one of the satellite radios (XM or Sirius), so she isn't doing that for free. I'm sure she is offered free meals and lodging for her appearances at events. Ever been to her websites? She details what she has been doing with her life, before, during and after "Fake Jan"

As for Eve, what turned me against her......was how she practically said screw you to BB fans on The Rosie O' Donnell Show. Rosie the next day commented how taken aback she was by the attitude. (of course this was before Rosie took an attitude in general herself LOL). If I was to ever run across Eve, I would just be polite, smile and not say one word. If I was to meet Geri, I would be screaming "OMG, IT'S FAKE JAN, YA'LL!!!!!"
