Which is the better of the two, and why?

jamier42 · 02-17-2002, 07:19 PM

I like both shows but I will pick The Brady Bunch.

Family Ties is a cute show. I hated The Brady Bunch.

Family Ties.

LucyFan · 02-17-2002, 09:30 PM

The Brady Bunch. It is such a classic and the plots in the show were very good.

SitcomChick · 02-18-2002, 05:36 AM

Family Ties by a long shot. I liked the Brady Bunch sometimes, but Family Ties is the much better sitcom out of the two, I feel. I always found Brady Bunch to be a bit *too* corney for my liking.

I agree with "The Brady Bunch" being too corny. "Family Ties" is the best.

BRADY BUNCH!!!! AT least there were morals in that show. Quality family entertainment!

Huh? What are you talking about? Family Ties had morals too.

So you are trying to say Family Ties didn't have morals? Of course it did!

The Brady Bunch was a very unrealistic portrayal of a middle class family. The children were not typical teenagers, instead they were portrayed as goody 2 shoe kids with no real issues. The acting was ok, but the writing in my opinion, was awful.

Family Ties was a lot more realistic family unit, and it showed that everyone does not have to be perfect. Take the case of Nick, he was anything but perfect, but yet he was still a very likable character.

But overall the writing was much better with Family Ties. Plus it introduced Michael J. Fox to the world. Although he may have done other projects prior to Family Ties, this show is what really launched his career.

I agree entirely. Although I like watching Brady Bunch sometimes because it does brighten up your mood! (most of the time)

But Family Ties will always be the best, IMHO!

FAMILY TIES ALL THE WAY!

For one, it has a better theme song.

Mike J Fox starrs in it...

and IMO, they have better plots, overall.

Warm & Fuzzy · 02-22-2002, 01:52 AM

Nevermind...

"The Brady Bunch" by far!!!

I'll never forget that mournful day when N@N replaced my beloved Bunch with "Family Cries" in the 9:30-10 slot!!!
