Who was the alcoholic?

The plot key words section says "alcoholism." I haven't seen this in twenty years and barely remember anything about it. Was Bobby the character with the drinking problem?

There is an error because there is no alcoholism in A Very Brady Christmas. Who ever wrote that doesn't know what he (she) is talking about. They are getting two different Brady incarnation mixed.

There was never an alcoholic in any of the Brady shows. The only think that comes close is Marcia had a drinking problem in the TV series The Bradys which aired in February 1990. A Very Brady Christmas was so highly rated in December 1988 that they created the series The Bradys.

Ah, ok. Thanks. I'll have to try and find those somewhere. Sounds like the "Brady's" series dealt with some more hard-edged issues than previous.

I developed a drinking problem after sitting through this piece of crap.

Thanks for sharing with the group, Bradley. And remember the first step in fixing your problem is admitting that you have one.

Marsha was an alcoholic in the newer series that ran for only one season. Her character was not played by Maureen McCormick

Mike Lookinland had a drinking problem, but has been sober for sixteen years.

Maureen McCormick had a cocaine problem.
