Things we never saw the Bradys doing...


Eating fast food is one thing that comes to mind. You never heard them refer to "going to Burger Chef" (I am sure they could not use real names on the show) or having any type of fast food.

Having food delivered (pizza, etc)

Going to an arcade

There was an episode where Marcia got Jan a job who ended up outperforming her in a, get this, SODA SHOP! Who the hell had soda shops in the 70's. It didn't even look like a Baskin Robbins or Dairy Queen. It looked like it was straight out of the 1920's.
The show was shit, designed to sell shit.

You make an interesting point. Soda shops were a 50's, maybe even a 30's-40's thing. With the prominence of fast food they sure as hell didn't exist in the 70's.

Often there is a lack of realism on tv because scripts are written by an older upper middle class generation out of touch with current teenage reality.

Going to the toilet. The bathroom didn't have one.

They were paying for a maid, why would they pay for Fast Food? Just tell Alice to whip up some hamburgers and French Fries, dammit!

reply

Sneaking into each other's rooms. They only did that when the cameras weren't rolling.

Waiting to have the room to themselves so they could masturbate.

I think a lot of them were screwing each other.

You mean incest on the show or behind the scenes? I think Henderson molested Greg. Lol.

Since the boys and the girls weren't actually blood relatives, they would have likely experimented.

reply

Behind the scenes. I heard Greg tried to get up on Henderson but she denied him, but who knows.

reply

I wonder if anybody fucked Alice?

Scoring a lid of reefer after hours in the back parking lot of the local A&P

Though Barry Williams did say he was flying high during the filming of one of the last episodes….

Going to the toilet.

The first was on All in the Family
