For a family as wholesome as the Brady bunch, you would think their solid values would keep them out of trouble. However, that wasn't always the case.

I agree with all of them. However Jan's impractical joker was just fun. She never intended to hurt anyone or cause harm. In Miss Popularity she betrays so many people that maybe I would include that one instead.

I liked Jan as a prankster, lol it just seemed SO out of character for her!

Sometimes I wonder why the movies portrayed Jan as such a loser, she was actually quite popular in the TV show and was regarded as cool by most people. If you ask me, Bobby had WAY MORE issues than Jan did as far as feeling inferior.

True. Susan Olson states that the Jan in the Brady Bunch Variety show was the beginning of the neurotic Jan. Things accelerated 20 years later when Saturday Night Live did the "Marcia Marcia Marcia" bit. Then the Brady movie really took Jan into another orbit.

Bobby and Cindy planning to sunbathe nude with next door neighbors. And Alice opening and quickly closing their robes in shock before sending them back upstairs to put on their swimsuits.

Greg lying to his parents to buy concert tickets. Exact words.

Rich3 · 03-31-2024, 08:51 PM

Peter slacking and goofing off after sister gets him job at the ice cream parlor.

Marcia tricks snooping Cindy that she is the next Shirley Temple. Cindy borrows money from Alice to buy a Shirley Temple record album to learn the music.

In Marcia's defense, her and Jan confront Cindy and tell her its all a joke to teach her a lesson. Yet Cindy is so dumb she does not believe them. On the Real Brady Bros podcast they comment all the time how the writers made Cindy a complete idiot even when she got older. In the episode where Greg moves to the attic, the ending scene has Cindy counting down the years until she gets the attic. Cindy says in the year 2000 which would be 27 years

They made Cindy always be a Tattle Tale and a complete idiot.

Personally I thought most of the slumber party pranks were harmless but the itching powder in the sleeping bags was over the top. The girls had to wash it off, taking turns in the bathroom while everyone else itched violently out in the upstairs hall. Then how could they get it out of the sleeping bags, which have to be dry cleaned? And where were the girls to sleep while being unable to use the sleeping bags? The whole thing was cruel.

Yes. Greg was sadistic.

How about all of them haunting the house to ruin their parent's purchase of a bigger and better house.

But by far the worst thing ALL of them did was their treatment of Alice when they thought she was a snitch. They were all brats in that episode. It was so bad that Robert Reed refused to appear in the episode.
