The swimsuits the Brady Girls should have never worn - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

cjmalagodi · 08-23-2003, 04:19 AM

I have been a fan of the Brady Bunch for a long time since they started rerunning those shows not long after the original broadcasts. I particularly liked the Brady girls (Marcia, Jan, Cindy) who were undoubtedly very beautiful blonde girls; I am crazy about blondes, including Marcia. The episodes that I don't like was when the Brady Bunch goes to Hawaii; I don't like the scenes when the Brady girls wore those scandalous bikinis that showed their bodies, including their belly buttons.

In my opinion, I think those bikinis are rather indecent for them to wear especially in a family sitcom. They are much better off wearing one-piece swimsuits, the ones that cover up their bodies. What do you think?

I like the series, but this was supposed to be a family sitcom.

Woah.
Just because they show they're belly button doesn't mean its a family sitcom.
Since when is a bikini indecent??

This is THE BRADY BUNCH were talking about.

Plenty of families have little girls that wear bikinis. There's NOTHING wrong with it.

Maybe your a prude, I dont know.

I am merely stating that family sitcoms such as the Brady Bunch should only allow child actors, or even teen actors to wear decent clothing, including swimsuits. If I were producing the show, I wouldn't allow the Brady girls to wear bikinis on the Hawaii episodes. One-piece swimsuits are a lot more appropriate and a lot more decent.

I am not a prude, I am merely old-fashioned. I wouldn't even let my girlfriend wear a bikini for swimwear. Even if I dated Marcia or Jan, I wouldn't let them wear anything that I feel is unappropriate.

I totally agree, CJ!

As much as you may not like it, he very well may dictate what his girlfriend wears. I have a relative who bosses his wife around all the time, and he always tells her what to wear. (And she obeys). It's unfortunate, but it happens.

As for the Brady girls' bikinis, how dare they! I could understand them showing their ankles, and maybe a little bit of knee, but anything else is strictly scandalous!

AND alot of girls who boss their boyfriends/husbands around too and tell them what to wear!!
! thought the Hawaiian episodes were great and the Brady Girls looked great in their colored bikini's. Sweet rather than indecent

And you actually have a girlfriend?! Obviously you are "old fashioned" about more than just the Brady girls and their attire. Sounds very controlling to me that you "wouldn't" let your girlfriend wear something in particular.

Back to the topic: Two peice bathing suits are FINE. I personally think, anyone thinking they are bad for anyone, have issues. How does showing one's belly button and stomach end up being more risqué than covering them up with a one peice? Let's not read too much into this folks.

Edit-I was way too polite on my birthday last year.

I never did understand what the big deal about belly buttons is, everybody has one and it doesn't even do anything!

Anyone concerned about teenage girls showing their belly buttons, needs help!

Damn this thread is 3 years old and I have NOT SEEN any of the members who posted on this thread in a very long time except for James.

Jude The Obscure · 05-19-2008, 01:32 AM

I've never heard of the poster named "barwars", much less to know he was a moderator

Anyway, Carol wore a one piece in these episodes and boy, she had a booty!

Ireneparalegal · 05-19-2008, 01:34 AM

Yeah, many of the posters on these threads have not been around for a long long time. Barwars is in school. There are quite a lot of BB fans who are no longer around. Which is why I posted what I said above.

Jude The Obscure · 05-19-2008, 01:37 AM

oh well, everyone has different reasons why they stop posting. For instance I was once a regular poster on the Usenet Brady Bunch group--then it got taken over by nasty foul mouthed trolls who made every subject into about anal sex and stuff. That's the problem with unmoderated forums.

Sounds like a Howard Stern forum.

I would rather see some new threads on BB, not old ones where no member is no longer present and won't respond to any new posts.

Well, I'll help Six out......I can respond to his responses

Jude, are you talking about the group alt.tv.brady-bunch? I used to post there all the time but don't anymore. (Then again, the Brady group here was a factor.

) People at alt.tv.brady-bunch don't talk about the show anymore--at least they didn't a few months ago when I checked up on what was happening there--not a pretty sight
