what if it was Adolf Hitler? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

greenivy4ever · 03-30-2003, 09:33 AM

Could you just see Bobby Brady walking around the house, or going about in school wearing a little mustache, wearing big boots, & displaying a "swastika" if he picked Adolf Hitler, instead of Jesse James, the outlaw? What kind of reaction would he have gotten, & how would the viewers feel about a show like that if he picked "Hitler" as his hero?

I think Bobby would have not been seen on the show after thst episode. Mike and Carol would have taken him to a "special place" where he could get some help.

that would be a hilarious episode

Woah...now that would be scary! If such an episode existed, the Brady Bunch would not have lasted much longer. The plug would've been pulled after that 'episode' aired...or maybe it woudln't even get past the censors.

He would have gotten along quite well with Alice's boot-camp "Cousin Emma!"

HOLY SMOKEROOS. How would the viewers feel? Definitely Bobby would go to a special place after that. LOL It's cool that a topic like this can come up and everyone has a sense of humor about it. Of course, we are Brady fans... we all have great sense of humors anyways.

Remember that dream Bobby had about Jesse James shooting all the Brady's on the train? Can you imagine the kind of dream he would have if Hitler was his idol? Gee Willikers. Definitely not getting passed the censors. At least numbskull Bobby didn't realize Jesse James was such an outlaw. He pretty much thought he was a bad a-- on a horse, until he learned the truth. I can't imagine him misunderstanding Hitler's ways. Well, he could, I suppose, but he'd be more than a numbskull in my book!

The best thing about this episode "Bobby's Hero" was the abject realism of Bobby's playing Western & having a hero image of Jesse James; it fits. It was made even better by the Principal's reaction to writing a composition on James, the psychology of Bobby's playing Western like Jesse James, the psychology of the TV editing out the movie (that Bobby was given Grid Permission to watch) just as the Brady's were trying to prove a point, and of course the Resolution.

Like perfect. Righteous.

But Hitler? That is so not jelling. How does anybody relate Hitler to Brady Bunch. Weird this.

And everybody says Amen.

Amen.

The problem with this idea is that Hitler did not exist in the world history of the Brady Bunch universe.

Well neither did Carol's first husband, but he gets talked about a lot!

There were a lot of things not talked about in the Brady universe, doesn't mean they didn't EXIST in the Brady universe.

It means they don't exist in the Brady universe and won't exist until/if they are mentioned on a canonical special.

ok, that is getting a little non-logical here. So since Albert Einstein or Harriet Beecher Stowe weren't mentioned, they didn't exist in the Brady universe?
