Saturday Six – Episode 285

Patrick’s Place Saturday Six – Episode 285

1. Were you alive when The Brady Bunch premiered?
Yes, I was in my twenties.

2. When do you remember watching the show for the first time?
How bubble gum it was. It was for tweens

3. If you had been the seventh kid in the house, which sibling do you think you would have most likely gotten along with the best?
I don’t know because I never watch the show

4. Same scenario: which sibling would you have least gotten along with?
Ditto

5. Take the quiz: Which Brady Bunch character are you?

You are Jan. Without you, Marcia and Cindy would kill each other.

6. Robert Reed, who played patriarch Mike Brady, sent a now-infamous memo to the show’s creator and writing team, (read it here if you haven’t seen it before) in which he lectured them about the differences between comedy and slapstick because he felt a script about Greg’s hair turning orange from a bottle of hair tonic Bobby sold him was so outrageous, he felt he couldn’t play his part in that show. What’s your opinion on that: was it an actor taking his role in a goofy sitcom a little too seriously, or an actor who felt strongly about something taking a reasonable stand?
He was taking the show too seriously and he was getting paid to act, not write.
