Here's the story ... of a man named Brady, an architect widower with three sons: oldest Greg, middle son Peter and youngest Bobby. He meets and marries Carol, with three daughters of her own: oldest Marcia, middle girl Jan and little one Cindy. Tending to them is a wacky maid named Alice. They all live in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house in the Los Angeles suburbs. The story lines deal with boy problems, sharing bathrooms, lost hamsters, the occasional football to the nose, and attempts at pop music stardom.

Sam The Butcher is one of the great television characters of this era because he never really GETS a character... he's just a guy who works at the butcher shop. Go to Full Review Matt Dunn What Culture 09/17/2018
The episode almost portrayed rage-fuelled violence between Brady kids for the first time, it was the first High School Graduation of a Brady kid, and the word 'sex' was used for the first time in the entire series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 12 22 funny American Broadcasting Company episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Filmed from 1973 to 1974!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Copyright 1973-2025 by Paramount Television!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The final season on video cassette, DVD and Blu-Ray Disc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 10/10/2020 Worst season of the series. So bad, it ended it and let to even worse tv specials and cash grab movies. Who killed this season and by extension the series? 2 words, Cousin Oliver. Watch the first 4 seasons. They were decent enough and great at times before the executives decided to put one of the most infamous characters ever into the 5th season in a misguided attempt to rejuvenate a series they thought was growing stale instead of, you know, putting the characters into more interesting and new scenarios.
