My Opinions on The Brady Bunch

When one thinks of the television genre known as sitcom, what shows would you think? Happy Days, Full House, Family Matters, Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and Raising Hope are ones I particularly enjoy. However, there are those I do NOT enjoy, such as the one I am discussing today, a 1964 to 1970 sitcom known as The Brady Bunch. The plot centers around a married couple, their six kids, and their bumbling maid and housekeeper, Alice. The characters, as iconic as they are, are at most static with little development in the first few seasons. Matter of fact, the most development they have during the first few seasons is during the pilot episode. As a child visiting my Aunt Julie and Uncle Brian, I would end up at some point of my visit watching this on their television in the basement, so at most the only times I have seen this show is when I went to visit them or when there was nothing else on television. Honestly, despite the fanbase this show has, I am not a fan at all. I find the show rather difficult to watch, even when I am bored and nothing else is on, finding very few episodes and storylines enjoyable. One prime example is an episode I saw before work, which pertained to Marsha getting a high school boyfriend, whom her older brother disapproved of. The reason for his disapproval was because the guy took his spot on the basketball team. In response to his disapproval, Marsha continues her relationship out of retaliation and spite. There is one thing I find wrong about that episode, the concept of "revenge dating." Revenge dating is the concept of dating to make another mad or jealous, which is what Marsha did in the episode. I do not know how the episode ended, but I am sure it did not end well for the three it pertained to. If anyone knows how the episode ended, please comment and let me know, or at least send me a youtube or veoh link. Overall, the series may have a good fanbase and many sequels and spinoffs, (which I will not review) I am not a fan at all, nor do I like this series. I do not find the characters funny or interesting. In fact, I had to ask my grandmother on what the name of the oldest Brady daughter was named. However, maybe it is because I have not watched it enough to like it, maybe it is an acquired taste like children get when Super Sentai changes plots and characters every year in Japan, but right now I do not like it, and I do not wish to have much to do with it at the time. However, maybe someday that will change, and if it does, I will let you know on here.
