You know, by tattling on your friends, you're really just tattling on yourself. By tattling on your friends, you're just telling them that you're a tattletale. Now, is that the tale you want to tell?
In fairness, Mike did ask how the salt shaker got messed up. Therefore, Cindy just answered his question about Peter using it to strain the guppy outta the fish tank LOL!! If she had just gone up out of the blue and told Mike about it, it would be different. But the only reason she told Mike this was because he asked how it happened. I’m not really sure if that was considered “tattling” necessarily. Cindy was just telling the truth about what happened. I know she should never have told Sam about Alice hugging the postman of course, but this I feel was a little different. Same with the thing about the neighbors, she was only repeating what she heard. But I guess because she’s a kid, things like this can lead to worse situations with her telling about other peoples business.
Right? I remember taking issue with this episode even back then. I’d certainly want to know if I’m eating from something that had been in a fish tank. And yes they’re teaching her to keep secrets from them to protect the guilty 😂
Just stupid 70s culture. I lived through it. Every era has its issues, its strengths and weaknesses. But if you grew up in a family of whispered secrets, child abuse, creepy perversions, and a vicious, conscienceless mother who hid it all behind a sweet smile and no one allowed to ever speak their minds because that might upset the All-American image, then you likely got sick of it and wanted something different. We've tried desperately to create a culture where everything, excepting maybe pillow talk between couples (and sometimes even that) is all up front and open. We've tried to pass it on to children and grandchildren. I'm sure we're messing some things up also, but I hate the secrets!
Mike Brady: Cindy, you know by tattling on your friends, you're really just tattling on yourself. By tattling on your friends, you're just telling them that you're a tattletale. Now is that the tale you want to tell?
I've always identified with Cindy growing up. I was the youngest of 3 sisters and Jan and Marcia acted just like my sisters. I was always left out of the gossip and sister fun. Come to think of it, I still am. Lol
In some of the season 2 episodes, she wore some of the same dresses from season 1. I’m surprised she didn’t wear that royal blue three quarter sleeve dress with red and yellow polka dots in the second season that she had on in some of the season 1 episodes
Such hypocrisy in this episode. In another episode, Carol's favorite vase was broken. Did they say, "don't tell us who broke it kids; that would be tattling." 🙄
It was a hypothetical question. It wasn't her business to tell. Peter should have confessed. If Mike had asked the kids, "Does anyone know how this happened?" then either of them could have answered. She didn't even give Peter a chance to answer. It was rude of her to throw her brother under the bus. No one likes a tattle tale.
@@Lori-lp6uc it was wrong of Peter to do what he did to begin with. Using something that touches food in the fish tank is definitely something the person eating the food needs to know about, and Peter obviously did it with the intention of not telling anyone
When Mike hit Bobby over the head with his hat for coloring his skateboard with his mom's lipstick I laughed so hard. If you ask me Bobby was just as big as a troublemaker as Cindy was. Younger siblings, ugh.
Poor Susan Oleson had to deal with the fallout from her classmates over this kind of stuff. Kids are clueless when it comes to separating fiction from reality.
If someone in the family were using food items to do something unsanitary, I'd kind of like to know about it. Call Cindy a snitch all you want, given that Peter said nothing; did he even wash it? Did the right thing. There are times to keep your mouth shut and this was not one of them. I commend Cindy for having morals in this situation.
It never works out for the tattletale or the messenger of bad news in history! Cindy should've gone philosophical on their azz's, & said: "Don't shoot the Tattler!"
Cindy was such a little cutie pie! Glad they quit bleaching the poor girl's hair lol. I wore the same yarn type hair ties in my pigtails in the 80's. I want to go back to those simpler times 😭
It was some kind of ridiculous child labor law that required kid actors to take at least one day off per year or something like that. (As if one extra day was going to exhaust them). Barry Williams was the only Brady kid to appear in all the episodes.
@@nassauguy48 maybe sick. Child labor laws not ridiculous. Cindy may have had it better when she grew up with a few more laws and better execution of them. Barry was 20 by the end of the series.
I've seen so many pictures of the interior of the real Brady Bunch home that I can no longer see this as a film set. Like, my mind confuses me now and it looks like it was filmed in the actual home. lol
Cindy has every right to tattle as everyone else should. If you know something's happened and you don't say anything, you're only helping it happen again.
I was 5 in those days and in all the pictures I have very short dresses, even my school uniform is barely under my underwear LOL I see it was the fashion, my mother got me on fashion LOL.
...(0:06)....Cin-deeeeeeeeee... (0:56) ....(2:08) ....this is possibly the ONLY time I ever saw ANY of the Brady Kids get HIT.... BUT....Mommy's new lipstick was PRICEY, Boy! (2:19) ...ha-HAA!
Proverbs 11:13 - A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. Proverbs 26:20 - Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.
That would have to be a very small guppy to fit in that little shaker top. And I wonder where it was kept, since there was never any fish tank on the set. Maybe in the doghouse since they lost Tiger after season 1. 😂😂😂😂😂
The thing is you want kids to tattle sometimes. It’s up to the parent or teacher to say I don’t need to know that or properly respond when it’s necessary. If only kids tattled on abusers in the 70’s. It’s impossible at that age to know when to keep quiet and well to tell. Better they tell. This is a contradiction adults put on kids and it’s not fair. Don’t tattle one minute and another why didn’t you tell me.. Another one was don’t talk to strangers. Then you are out with a parent who runs into someone you don’t recognize and you are nagged for being shy. Make up your mind.
You need to learn when to tell. If the behavior is hurting someone it's okay to, if you're just doing it to get the other person in trouble it isn't cool. As for talking to strangers there are exceptions to that. Parents just want to keep them safe from predators. It doesn't mean they should be rude. If mom is right there that should tell you it's okay to engage. I used to talk to strangers all the time when I was that age, I knew not to get in anyone's car or leave with anyone, that is the main thing.
@@billyfowler9423 she is too young to know that. It’s on the adult to act accordingly. They should not have punished if it was from tattling. She was so confused she had time telling with permission. Who takes the word of a 7 year old?
Ever notice how few spices they use? I only count 7 in the rack. And the color scheme in there makes my eyes bleed. But it was aspirational in the '70s, I guess.

Problem is when Greg gets hooked on crack and only Cindy knows but doesn't tell. Soon he's booked for possession of controlled substance. He does hard time. Family is ruined.
Where were the PETA people this episode? Why was he trying to strain a fish out of the tank? It was about a living thing for pity sakes. Not to mention a health issue. I think the writers goofy the salt would not be dry and the smell horrendous.
@@elijahsanders9532 I thought the family was being harsh on Cindy this episode I mean I myself sometimes can mistake firmness for meanness I mean she did tattle on them but ignoring the problem didn't help and later her parents threatened to punish her as a last resort to get her to stop playing they could have done that earlier but it's only one causes problems for an adult and not their kids
Minis were the style then, but this show took it too far to where they had to run the cameras from the ceilings to avoid getting an "R" rating on the show. If they had just added one inch to all of their hems it would have been better.
I'm sorry but I am a 66 year old man who absolutely detested this so-called excuse of a show. To me these kids were insufferable. I always thought of Robert Reed in a good light because he really was a quality actor. He certainly deserved a better show than this.
Robert Reed HATED being on this show. He was a classically trained Shakespearean actor and thought it was beneath him. He only stayed as long as he did out of love and respect for his costars.

Those outfits and the matching hair ties are adorable.
I remember how girls wore those ropes of different colors in the 70s.
I grew up then! I wore similar outfits and really remember those hair ties to match different dresses.
Adorable? It's like she's wearing a shirt. How can she play?
Cindy was the cutest thing, such a little doll baby.
Yes at least for the first season or two. Then she wasn’t but they tried to pretend she was still 7 years old.
I agree she was a cutie pie
You know, by tattling on your friends, you're really just tattling on yourself. By tattling on your friends, you're just telling them that you're a tattletale. Now, is that the tale you want to tell?

The only time it's okay to tattle is if someone steals your car.

Kids at Susan Olsen's (Cindy) school in real life gave her a hard time and refused to speak to her thinking she was an actual snitch.
Yes, she spoke about that
hahaa
I love how Jan and Marcia are wearing color coordinated outfits
Sherwood had a flashback to "Gilligan's Island" on this one: 2:18
He asked she answered. It is her business. Period.
Actually she talks even if they don´t ask her.
Why is she the house reporter? Why does she repeat everything?
I love watching The Brady Bunch
I watch it for 10 hours straight Monday through Friday, and 14 hours on weekends. My wife isn’t too happy about it but too bad!
Lesson: Never tattle on anybody.
Cindy back then dressed like a doll i like her in the first and second season of the show, her white socks and May Jane shoes. She was all doll up. 😍
I think I had a pair of those shoes
@@lovemyfurrkids3462 so you had the same kind that she wore, that looks like her's.
In some of the season 2 episodes, she wore some of the same dresses from season 1. I’m surprised she didn’t wear that royal blue three quarter sleeve dress with red and yellow polka dots in the second season that she had on in some of the season 1 episodes
Those outfits are awful. A real child couldn't do anything in them.
Cindy. Was. Cute
So on the first one Mike asked Cindy answered. She didn’t lie.
Bobby got her back later when he was the safety monitor.
I didn't expect Mike to hit Bobby on the head with his hat.
Such hypocrisy in this episode. In another episode, Carol's favorite vase was broken. Did they say, "don't tell us who broke it kids; that would be tattling." 🙄
Marcia mentions Mrs Denton and Paula Tardy from the slumber party episode
I would not be so hard on Cindy. I can understand when it came to Alice, but Greg was wrong on his part. At least Cindy was honest.
Shout out to Cindy, she’s a Truth Teller!
And a tattletale
Cindy got in trouble with her mom and dad ❤
0:35 classic line from Cindy
Why the hell is Mike
Getting an attitude with Cindy, when he’s the one who asked
This episode has a continuity error where Cindy goes upstairs in pajamas and arrives at her room in daytime clothes.
You are snitching. Just kidding.
fair point. greg was always getting away with shit. who would use a salt lid as a strainer.
Mike asked what happened and Cindy gave him a truthful answer. Would it have been better if she had just lied by omission?
She was going good I just love her she's was looking back flash back past life
