When I was a kid this episode didn’t mean anything to me. Now that I’m a stepfather in my early 50’s to two beautiful girls this scene makes me cry everytime I watch it.
i'm 59 yrs old, and no, i'm not tearing up, there's something in my eye i grew up watching this series, saw them all i wish i could wake up and it was the 70's again it was a great time to be a kid...we had OUTSIDE lol
I have a soft spot for shows or movies that portray the relationship between a stepdad and his stepdaughter in a tender, loving light. They feel very personal, since my own stepdad has been taking care of me since I was 3 years old. He's never seen me as anything but his own daughter, even though apparently he had a bit of trouble winning me over at the beginning, and has always treated me as an equal to my younger brother, who's his biological son. Like any father, he hasn't been perfect, but we've both learned a lot from each other over the years. Even now, more than 20 years into our shared family life, I'm still in awe of how generous a heart he has and how lucky I am to have him. That's why I wish wecould see this kind of relationship more often in the media, and why scenes like this always make me tear up a little bit.
I'm glad your step father loved you as his own. That is not common these days. The scene at 4:14 is very moving even after all these years. Mike Brady loved Carol's girls as his own and she loved his sons as her own. They were one big happy family. I wished I had a family like this when I was younger.
@@mainecoon6514 well, he adopted them. So technically he was their father, not their stepfather. Carol also said to Peter in one episode, “The only ‘steps’ in our home take you to the second floor.”
@@shawnduncan5779were you there for your dad when he was alive? Were you taking care of him while he had cancer or you just abandoned him? Did you take him to his doctor visits and treatments? Did you fund his living expenses? If you didn’t then you failed so don’t call yourself his kid

Same here. I recently purchased The Brady Bunch DVD box set and even though I vaguely saw this one as a kid in the Eighties, re-watching this one really got me teary-eyed, especially when Mike Brady is stunned having learned that his eldest step daughter Marcia was the reason why he is Father of the Year.
Mike Brady and the whole cast will always be loved by me. The show that was looked down on when it first aired is the type of show that society needs on T.V., today. 2016 television SUCKS!!!
This (and the pilot) episode don't get played very often but they are both very touching. Grew up with this show. Now an adult with almost grown boys and I still enjoy it
Love this scene!!! If you didnt tear up. You didnt feel it! ❤As a dad with the most wonderful daughter in the world. This is something to watch! All parents and their kids should watch this clip!
+Walter Schivo Of course she loved him it was obvious. Mom, Dad, Son Daughter are what make a true family!!! It doesn't matter if adopted or natural born, my mom's adopted and I'm natural born so I may even have family I don't know! See the beauty of blended families? Even happens in nonblended (aka original parents still married and/or alive). You need both parents to raise a respectable family. The girls need the mom and the boys need a dad and everyone needs each other! And it's moments like this why I absolutely love this show even though it's before I was born I still enjoy the Me TV reruns!!!
+phillies4100 Yeah, the people who raise us, protect us and love us are the people we call, "Mom and Dad." There are all kinds of families, some kids just live with their mom or their dad, some live with their aunts and uncles, some live with their grandparents and some are adopted or have step-parents but as long as they love you, that's what makes them your family. I've met a lot of people that have different families. In grade school, I knew a girl who lived with her grandparents because she lost her parents at a young age, one of my best friends from grade school to jr. college lived with just his mom because his father died when he was ten, one of my best friends from college never knew or met her natural father but she considers her step-father her real father, another friend of mine is adopted but she considers her adoptive parents, her real parents. One of my high school teachers has a daughter that he and his wife adopted and they love her and have given her a good life.
phillies4100 My girlfriend knew a boy in school who lived with his aunt and uncle and cousin. He knew they weren't his parents but he did call them mom and dad. Even though they're not his natural parents, he knows that he's still related to them by blood. Knowing that is always a comfort to kids who don't live with their natural parents.
You wish? But im not the man in the film in real life. Nobody is as perfect as Mike Brady, and no family is like the Bradys. Its simply a Hollywood mirage.
Michael Brady was the greatest Dad ever. I do hear tho Robert was a very fatherly man with the children. He had a daughter but did not get to see her...
Robert Reed did not like the show or his character but he absolutely LOVED the 6 child actors! They're mostly the reason why he chose to stick around and continue playing Mike Brady despite how demeaning he believed it to be.
He was a Dramatic Actor who studied abroad at The Royal Academy Of Dramatic Arts. Other US Alumnae were Tamara Braun (Ex-Reese All My Children) who was part of the First Same Sex Wedding on a Soap, (Ava Days Of Our Lives), and Carly #2 (General Hospital) as well as Ray McConnell who played Dr. Joe Martin on All My Children. He only did it because he needed The Money and when TBB went off the Air, he worked very hard to live down that image. He blew me away in ROOTS although his Speech To Toby & Bell about Kizzy disobeying was similar to what Mike Brady would have said back in the day.
Critics have said how it was a 1950s show taking place in the 1970s. I mean, this was Southern California in the wake of the Manson murders and at the height of the drug and free love cultures. Reed was correct about the show being 20 years behind the time.
This always makes me tear up. I was such a daddy's girl, and I lost my dad at 13. My mom married years and years later, and I was close to my stepfather also. He died 3 years after they were married.
I was adopted too. Can't make it thru this moment without tears. My glance goes over to a picture of my dad who passed in 2004. I was far from the model daughter Marcia was. I love and miss him always😔
I was born in 1962 so "The Brady Bunch" was an indelible part of my childhood. Every episode was a neat little life lesson. I can't imagine being a kid today. Every TV show today is some twisted shit with no redeeming qualities at all.
That was neat seeing the look on Mike's face when he found out why the tv crews were there. Well, he found why Marcia snuck out to mail that letter that night. I'll bet he ended her punishment of not going on the skiing trip. How touching!
Considering that the acting he specialized in was serious and dramatic acting, that doesn't surprise me. This had to be one of his few favorite moments on the show. I bet he just wished there'd been a lot more of them but Sherwood want to stick with the crude, slapstick comedy(as Robert Reed called it). Robert Reed was serious/dramatic actor not a comedian.
I never understood why Marcia climbed out the window to mail the letter after reading the deadline date. Did the neighborhood mailbox have an 11:55 PM pickup?
Good acting on robert reed though he said he hated the show but many years later swell the music and rewatched this yep i sobbed. So touching now gives her a hug and the kids said he kind of fathered them in real life. Brady bunch never gets old.
The best message here is that blended families and adoptions do sometimes work out! It's also implied that Carol's first husband was an ex-husband, meaning that she was divorced, not widowed. Mike taking in a divorced woman's children as his own, especially if they are step-children and he has no custody, truly makes him deserve that award. :)
I was thinking that too. I don’t think it would have been as deep if Greg (or any of the boys) wrote in to give Carol Mother of the year, seeing that their real mother truly was gone.
I'm very sure he realized that was that PRIVATE thing she was working on in his den and when she was supposed to be finishing those chores. He knows she couldn't say because in case he won, she wanted it to be a surprise. I'm very sure all is forgiven and her punishment is over. Besides, a family ski trip will be a great way for all of them to celebrate Mike's victory!
I remember in one episode of The Brady Bunch, one of the boys said to Carol “… but I’m only your stepson”. And she immediately replied “Let’s get something straight here: The only steps in THIS family are the ones leading to the second floor!”. I thought that was really neat.
Mike came in the back door how true is that statement. Always love the show I love watching it on UA-cam it is so good even the Variety show was very good
A very touching moment. This was a nice show about nice people. Has anyone else noticed when Robert Reed walked in during this scene and said 'What the hell's going on around here.'
Sherwood had told Reed that there would be drama in the show such as this very touching moment here which is one of the reasons why Reed signed the contract. But as time went on, Sherwood decided to stick mainly with slapstick comedy and that really upset Reed because he was a dramatic actor not a comedian. This caused him and Sherwood to get into arguments quite often. If it weren't for his love of working with the kids, I think Reed might've really snapped.
Now more than ever, alot of Men and even Women take on the responsibility of playing Papa Bear & Mama Bear to kids that aren't even theirs. There was a touching one where a "Father" surprises his Daughter after being away in The Army doing his Military Service. She was so happy to see him. What made it so special was that he's African American and she's White.
Three points to make about this episode. First, even though anyone with a pulse knew that he was going to win, the show was still fun to watch. Second, Maureen McCormick was SO CUTE in those days, and she's only gotten more gorgeous in the 40+ years since. Also, as kids my friends and I used to joke that the perfect ending to this scene would be Mike and Marcia hugging, and then Mike looking into Marcia's eyes and saying, "You know you're still grounded, right?"
When I was a kid this episode didn’t mean anything to me. Now that I’m a stepfather in my early 50’s to two beautiful girls this scene makes me cry everytime I watch it.
That's so sweet, they're so lucky to have you and you them 😭😭
And I’m sure in their mind you deserve to be father of the year too
I’m 57 years old and I still cry when I watch this episode 😊
i'm 59 yrs old, and no, i'm not tearing up, there's something in my eye
i grew up watching this series, saw them all
i wish i could wake up and it was the 70's again
it was a great time to be a kid...we had OUTSIDE lol
"i wish i could wake up and it was the 70's again" - Me too! Go back to 1970 with lessons learned - and do it better!
ugh shut up
Boy don’t you know it. Those were the best days. 👍
Make it 1972 please, don't leave me behind!
Take me along! 1972. 7 yrs old. An age of innocence.

@@StealthMode3924 That was Bobby that Carol said that to and Mike and Carol never adopted each other’s kids
I had tears in my eyes as a kid when I watched this scene! Now 45 years later nothing’s changed! Pass the tissues please.
Right?? This one and the one where Carol says to Bobby “The only steps in this house are the ones right there that lead up to your bedroom” 😭😭😭😭
I agree with you there. I lost my dad to cancer 11 and a half years ago. This brought back a lot of happy memories
tears? lol! I bet you the producer or director was a relative
of Marcia. Always made her the star of the show for no reason.
@@shawnduncan5779were you there for your dad when he was alive? Were you taking care of him while he had cancer or you just abandoned him? Did you take him to his doctor visits and treatments? Did you fund his living expenses? If you didn’t then you failed so don’t call yourself his kid
The Brady Bunch grew up infront of the televiiewers eyes.They will always be remembered but not forgotten.
I'm crying. Omg. That was sweet. I remember this episode.
Oh. My. God. How adorable was little Cindy Brady at that age? ☺
She's been a great DJ/Radio Host locally here in
Los Angeles (Susan Olsen).
I always thought she must be a cartoon she is so cute.
I could feel tears pooling in my eyes. Reminded me of my father who i lost almost 17 years ago.
I loved this show as a child. A lot of the episodes were corny but this one was genuinely touching.
I think this is the most touching scene in the entire series!
This is why the Brady bunch ran for 5 seasons great chemistry 🙂
Yep!

This and where Carol tells Bobby the only steps are the ones that lead to his room.
At 3:25 -- as soon as that slow Brady theme plays in the background, I get teary eyed.
Who does not cry or get teary eyed watching this scene

This one is one of my favorite episodes...Tears form even now...im 55.

Great episode that was, "Father of the Year"! The part were Marcia hugs her dad kind of brings a tear too your eye.

Why didn't he like working on The Brady Bunch? That cast had good chemistry.
MsRain123 He felt story lines should have been more in tune with current social issues, drugs, teen pregnancy etc.

Looks like Marcia is going on that ski trip after all!
Oh, yes she can. That proves she is a great daughter to Mike Brady.
Well she better have!
Would've been funny if Mike still didn't let her go on the trip. She did disobey him after all.
She still broke the rules so.....
@@itemshopdaily8456 There are situations like this one when bending the rules is the right thing to do.

im sorry for both of your losses
You'll see your biological father and your stepfather again someday, because the love never ends. Believe me, they're watching over you right now.

This is my favorite episode!!
What a beautiful Scene of Marcia I think Carol is proud of Marcia. From getting married to Mike Brady me and my mom love watch it
I was adopted too. Can't make it thru this moment without tears. My glance goes over to a picture of my dad who passed in 2004. I was far from the model daughter Marcia was. I love and miss him always😔
1:35 Love the fashion in the 70s. 3:45 This was true of Robert Reed too. He was like a father to these child actors.
May he rest in peace.

This was always my favorite episode in the entire series.
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you have no soul.

I cry every time I watch this!
beaky 317 çutie name
I never understood why Marcia climbed out the window to mail the letter after reading the deadline date. Did the neighborhood mailbox have an 11:55 PM pickup?
acme overnight mail :P
In a big city like where they were in Los Angeles there very well could have been an overnight or early morning pick up
It has to be post marked by midnight
@@sonnieandjacob was the postman in the mailbox? lol j/k
Even though it was in 1970 I thought it was risky for Marcia to go out after dark like that to mail it! Nowadays it's dangerous in broad daylight!
This here in conclusion is what I truly do call Fatherly love.
Every time this scene gets me every time.I'm bawling like a baby
That scene still tears me up
I LOVE BRADY BUNCH 💜
Sweet episode. I remember my older sister and I had dresses exactly like Jan’s in the final scene. Only ours had short ruffled sleeves.
The dress Marcia is wearing at 2:20 is the same dress Jan wore in the episode: "Will the real Jan Brady please stand up." in season two.
Alice is the funniest character on this series
Good acting on robert reed though he said he hated the show but many years later swell the music and rewatched this yep i sobbed. So touching now gives her a hug and the kids said he kind of fathered them in real life. Brady bunch never gets old.
I bet Greg peter and Bobby had to acknowledge she’s ok for a sister after all
Very touching scene.

All the comments are so sentimental. I still can't get past Florence Henderson exclaiming, "Oh Mike, you came in the back door!"
This is my favorite part of the Brady Bunch!
Very beautiful.
I'm very sure he realized that was that PRIVATE thing she was working on in his den and when she was supposed to be finishing those chores. He knows she couldn't say because in case he won, she wanted it to be a surprise. I'm very sure all is forgiven and her punishment is over. Besides, a family ski trip will be a great way for all of them to celebrate Mike's victory!

I love watching the Brady Bunch All the time
Mike sure felt really foolish when he realized that Marcia had a good reason on what she was doing. Something special for him all along. Amazing.
That’s so sweet saw it on dvd
This made me cry my eyes out😩
"I....I...I...I *fourple swear!!*
Marsha really had a cute smile👍
This was very sweet.
That was so sweet of Marcia
Oh snap! I just teared right up!
the Father in a sitcom is always important, bizzy,
"Flying to Greece next Thursday."
I remember in one episode of The Brady Bunch, one of the boys said to Carol “… but I’m only your stepson”. And she immediately replied “Let’s get something straight here: The only steps in THIS family are the ones leading to the second floor!”. I thought that was really neat.
Im only 34 but i grew up on this show in the 90s from nick at night
I Loved it.
Me too i lovethe show and the 70. Great shooww
very emotional scene
This is so beautiful moment
Mike came in the back door how true is that statement. Always love the show I love watching it on UA-cam it is so good even the Variety show was very good
Hahaha.....SO TRUE!
They didn't want anymore kids! Haha!
I was surprised when Mike said the word "hell" and it made it past the censors!
A very touching moment. This was a nice show about nice people. Has anyone else noticed when Robert Reed walked in during this scene and said 'What the hell's going on around here.'
😃I guess because we hear it so often today we didn't even notice he said that. But in retrospect, it was def a slip-up, lol.
That's not what he said. It was "What the devil's going on here?"
I think Marcia had real tears in her eyes too!
I grow up with the Brandy Bunch
Beautiful.
Sherwood had told Reed that there would be drama in the show such as this very touching moment here which is one of the reasons why Reed signed the contract. But as time went on, Sherwood decided to stick mainly with slapstick comedy and that really upset Reed because he was a dramatic actor not a comedian. This caused him and Sherwood to get into arguments quite often. If it weren't for his love of working with the kids, I think Reed might've really snapped.

Now more than ever, alot of Men and even Women take on the responsibility of playing Papa Bear & Mama Bear to kids that aren't even theirs. There was a touching one where a "Father" surprises his Daughter after being away in The Army doing his Military Service. She was so happy to see him. What made it so special was that he's African American and she's White.
