When Greg is leading up to telling his brothers that he’s moving out of their bedroom, Mike is watching the back and forth between them and trying not to smile, because he knows damned well that the younger boys will be happy to have more space. Robert Reed was such a fine actor.
He really was ... If you re-watch, surprisingly, he's absolutely the heart of Season 1 and a big part of why the show works when the kids hadn't really found their footing yet as actors ...
Greg Brady was such a stud! Not only as Greg Brady, but in real life Barry Williams was extremely talented. He could have been an Olympic swimmer 🏊♂️ seriously 💯
I remember that episode. The boys played prank phone calls on Marcia so that she would have to keep running down from the attic and hopefully get tired.
You're telling me its been an extra room upstairs this entire time and 8+ people are sharing 3 rooms and they have ''OhAlice'' sleeping in Tigers doghouse.
I laugh at the end of this episode Cindy claims she wouldnt get to move into the attic until near the year 2000! LOL! My way of seeing it is who cares Cindy? By the time she was eligible to move to the attic, all her siblings would have moved out. She'd have her bedroom to herself anyways
MY GRANDMOTHER'S ATTIC WAS GORGEOUS AND HIGH CEILING LIKE THAT: SOLID CEDAR WHICH YOU DO NOT SEE TODAY AND HUGE WITH A BRICK CHIMNEY IN THE MIDDLE! i LOVED PLAYING UP THERE AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN TWO BEDROOMS!
@@waynemacfarland1546 It is a single story house, the upstairs window on the outside is fake and was only put there for the show to make it look like it had an upstairs.
During the filming of the roller coaster sequence, Robert Reed insisted the coaster with the mounted camera go through once without the cast. (Production was just going to load 'em up and roll.) When the coaster came back, the camera was gone, having been knocked off at some point during the ride. It's very likely Bobby and/or Cindy, who were in front, would have been struck by the large, heavy apparatus ...
This episode aired during the few months that babushka ‘do rags were the fashion accessory no teenage girl could do without. Brady girls had it goin’ on.
Hang on! Wasn't there a Brady Bunch episode where Greg turns his father's den into his own bedroom with far-out beaded curtains and lighting? Guess they liked the part where Greg wanted his own room so much that they used it again in this episode.
with a family that size they should have made the Den a bedroom for one of the older kids... plus used the attack. They could have divided the attack into two rooms it's big enough and had high enough walls. He's an architect... why couldn't he have had the walls upstairs finished and floors put in ages ago? He'd know plenty of builders... they could have built onto the house and expanded... plus Alice had her own room. Why couldn't she have lived elsewhere? or they could have built a "granny flat" for her. I mean literally none of it made sense.
I can just picture Mike and Carol waking up in the middle of the night hearing humping and moaning coming from the attic! Lol 😂 And Carol saying "Well Mike,Nice Going Better Start Thinking Of Some Names For Our Grandchild!" Lol 😂
Classic episode and you’ve got an absolutely love the music score. The won Wong Wong, chess classic and I’ll tell you nobody wants to live in an attic. It’s hot in the summer n cold in the winter😂
How many "I want to move into the attic" episodes were there? If it's anything like my attic, the heat and lack ventilation would kill an elephant. It doesn't say much about Mike Brady, the master architect, where the kids think the best place to live in his house is the attic. Greg even prefers the attic to the den (which was another episode). Obviously, whoever got to live in the attic will still have to come down to use the bathroom (one bathroom for six kids, for that matter). What attic has a bathroom? Alice had the best deal of all. A live in horsekeeper, and from the best I can tell, had her own bathroom.
Some of my high school buddies had their rooms in attics. Yeah, it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter, but those are minor inconveniences for a teenager. The privacy up there more than made up for it, especially for us stoner types. 🤣Good times.
Mike the architect could well have turned the attic into 2 rooms so both Marcia and Greg could have a room of their own. I was wondering also about closets. Seems Mike would have to do some building up there to give them closets, and maybe add in a window or two, one for each side. And you're right about the bathrooms. Maybe he could even add at least a sink and toilet on each side. They could still shower in the combined boys and girls bathroom.
@@alondralabute2310 The architect could have drawn the plans up as easily as passing gas. Actually doing the construction isn't a given, though. Not saying one negates the other, but they don't always go hand-in-hand.
@@sponk2112 If he didn't want to (or couldn't since drawing up plans or blueprints and doing the actual work are two different things) he would've known who could, he would've known building contractors who he trusted to come in and do the work.
Why is it that Alice's bedroom was seldom shown? I think the only time that we saw it was in the broken ankle episode. I wonder if she had a private bathroom connected to it. Does anyone know where exactly in the house it was located? Was it near Mike and Carol's room?
@josebro352 there's an episode where it shows her go to her room but I don't recall which episode. I'm binge watching so if I come across it I'll let you know
In the eposide that Greg took over Mike's den, they said the ceiling was too low in the attic to use as a room. I guess the attic ceiling magically got higher afterwards!
It was not so much that Greg deserved the room because he was a year older. But, geez, the boys were literally sleeping on top of each other in that bleak and small bedroom with the cheap plywood. The three girls had a bedroom that was at least twice the size!

Peter and Bobby all broken up about Greg moving up is still funny after this many years❗️
They took it pretty hard, 🤣🤣🤣

And then the girl Peter said called her called while they were still talking, 😂😂😂
1:55 they look the three sisters from Fiddler on the Roof

Alice had a bedroom behind the kitchen on the ground floor...where she watched Perry Mason reruns. They even showed the BR (set) a few times.
Peter and Bobby went nuts❤❤❤❤❤❤

Same with Bobby. He’ll have his own bedroom when G&P are both moved out.
That's a lot of head room in the attic even for a two-story house!
It's a 2-story house. Bedrooms upstairs. Kitchen, family room, etc on the main floor.

I agree
@@mls617983 You're right. It looks like a single-story house from the outside, but somehow, I totally forgot they had an upstairs inside.

Right I thought one would have passed by now.
Die on the show? That would be a pretty depressing episode!

I had several of them. So fun !
Greg and Marsha both want to move into the attic … and they brought flowers.
Love that!
Sex in the attic, Marsha and Greg style. They aren’t blood related, so it’s okay, you know?
Aww, the girls were really going to miss Marcia, whereas the boys were like "don't like the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out!"
Cindy had the right "kid sister" approach met with Marcia's rolling eyes ...
In an early episode they said the attic was only four feet tall. I guess it grew with age
I never knew California contemporaries even had attics. Funny how we never saw the basement.

A Very Brady Sequel. If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right. 😂
It's hilarious and I love too watch it
I forgot homes used to have dens until I started watching these clips
We had one too! I'm 56 and i remember those dens! we gathered to play cards, watch tv, etc etc
But only one bathroom?
@@DavidLS1 they should be grateful they even had that. Censorship laws at the time wouldn't let them show a toilet on TV.
@@DavidLS1 Mike and Carol's was super secret behind the bed area ... and Alice only goes at Sam's butcher shop.
@@josephkissel6062 So that's why Sam's meat has that gamy flavor.
Greg and Marcia wanted to shack up on the show like they did in real life.
They didn't live together in real life----ever.
Let Greg and Marcia both move into the attic. It's not like they're blood relatives.
But that could lead to more children.....and they're running out of room.
@@sammcbride2149 Just take Marcia to Planned Parenthood (UA-cam won't let me say the 'A' word). She doesn't want to lose her perfect figure anyway.

@@michaelvaladez3012 Plot twist: It turned out to be Peter and Jan.
Didn't it get hot up there? These were the days before centralized AC.
I'll bet it got even hotter when Marcia and Greg moved in together.
LOL. Marcia stepped aside for Greg when they both ran for Student Council President, then she stepped aside again for the attic room.
Thrifty clothes,sneeze
Ohhh they both want the room. So that’s how they hooked up.
We know why they want to move into the attic together….

They should have turned the attic into a second bathroom.
Wonder why they never figured out that they could make the attic a room before
Ikr 😅
It wasn't thought of because the kids were young and didn't want to be in the attic alone.
In the eposide that Greg took over Mike's den, they said the ceiling was too low in the attic to use as a room. I guess the attic ceiling magically got higher afterwards!
Marsha shod get it
I want to move to the attic. But with Peter, not Greg!🥰🥰🥰

Did they ever show Carol in a bikini??
Yeah, the episode where she & Alice are sunning themselves in the backyard.
How about Cindy? (I'm asking for a friend.)
When they went to Hawaii she's wearing a one-piece that's the best you're going to get

Cindy should have been given the attic.
Why?
She would have been scared to death to be up there alone at nighttime.
She claimed it was hers in the late 1990s-2000. My calculation would be Cindy would get the attic by around 1979-80

Greg and Marcia shouldve moved into the attic together. Then they could’ve done the nasty all night long without being disturbed.

What's with the girls wearing the scarves? That wasn't in style then especially for girls & teens.
Wasn’t this in the sequel?
