Lol. Getting into clubs was huge in the '80s to pad your resume for college in So Cal. At my high school one group I was involved with was called "Hour to Devour". Toted as to show how we wanted to culturally enrich ourselves with cuisine around the globe. The funny thing is my high school was a mixed bag of different cultures anyways, so this was just an excuse to get Mom's to feed us great food every meeting. Chinese, Japenese, Jewish, Mexican, Italian. We were never really organized, but not did we eat good my senior year as a student member of this club. Funny thing is, my Nordic ancestors really didn't add much to this experience, lol.
You'd think with her signing up for EVERY club that some of them would overlap causing her to have to choose. Even so, it would detract from her schoolwork. It's a good thing she eventually gave all of them up except ceramics. But I would've hung onto that judo club. It's good for a girl/woman to know how to defend herself if the need arises.
I didn't sign up for any clubs until the 11th grade when I was in the FFA for the fall semester. I was a member of the DECA distributive education club and FHA Future Homemakers of America. School was hard for me. I couldn't afford to let my GPA drop. I agree with you there. I think that one club at a time is enough. I graduated from Amphi High School on May 23, 1991 with a 3.5 GPA. I served 4 years in the US Navy before going to Pima Community College. I have 2 associate degrees
My 15-year-old cousin remarked when this show aired some fifty years ago, "Yes, Marcia, the scuba suit fits quite nicely." I recall he really liked the yoga outfit too.
I remember trying to join different clubs in high school in the 80s because I saw this show. They showed reruns of the Brady Bunch all the time back then.
That was so hilarious when Marcia scared Alice wearing that scuba suit Lol 😂 Marcia has a cute giggle.I thought Jan was gonna freak out too when she walked in.
...Marcia is showing why she was so 'popular' in School....while, being REVILED in the process; If you notice, she is supposed to be doing these 'classes' WITH others, but she's doing it (around the House), to be BETTER than Others (3:06) ...which, WON'T make her Popular....A 'sign', of her overeagerness.....Oh, Marcia, Marcia, MARCIA....(1:49) (0:53) (1:32) (2:18) ..
Not really.....It is not that unusual, particularly if kids do not have a strong or consistent relationship with their dads. And that seemed to be the case with the Mrs. Brady's ex husband. Also, the mom changed her name, so it helped unify the family. I had at least two friends when I was a kid who did changed their last names when their moms remarried...there might have been one or two more. But I remember two very clearly because we were close enough that we talked about it.
I relate. Minus the STEM-y things because I never had the knack for it, all the clubs sounded interesting to me, back in school. The school newspaper, theater, Key Club? How can you narrow it down other than needing to?
Here in Switzerland with 6 kids you are almost tax exempt. I had 4 children and paid very little taxes. On top you get „Kindergeld „ …children’s monthly money or what we called in the old days in Canada…Baby bonus. It barely pays for wives to go to work because of the high taxes through double income. The biggest problem would be finding affordable housing nowadays with so many family members. Just about impossible!
The housing market was different in California back then. But also.....Yes, architects do very well as someone pointed out. And regarding Mrs. Brady. How is the being a stay-at-home mom lazy? Even with a housekeeper, when the Mrs. Brady character remarried...it was not lazy when there were three more children to take care of and give enough emotional attention....not to mention feed and do laundry and so on for 8 people. And take care of a house. And help with the kids activities. It is lazy to have help if you can afford it? I'd take it. In any case, the character Mike got married to Carol for love, not because he needed a new housekeeper. Just my own humble thoughts.
Getting involved with the kids at skule! 😊
Yep! That’s the way she pronounced it 🤪
Christine Taylor was right.
@@kellvarnssen7443who?
"at Skewel"
I hate when someone pronounces it skewel.
A reminder that Alice does all her own stunts 😂
Fast forward to 2024 where each club cost $500😅
Really?
Note that “Nursing” is a club activity at Westdale High.
As in Candy Stripers...

I agree
I would have also stuck with the archery club. It could be good preparation for learning how to shoot a gun too

I don't blame her. She wants to fit in and do things she enjoys. I did that once.
Yeah but she doesn't enjoy it all. She is trying too hard.
Yeah, unlike Jan
My 15-year-old cousin remarked when this show aired some fifty years ago, "Yes, Marcia, the scuba suit fits quite nicely." I recall he really liked the yoga outfit too.
Lol love how random memories like this stick with us for life
Who else got excited by the unusual shot of the ceiling?
Wow, their High School had scuba, karate and ceramics? Sounds awesome.
Imagine combining all three!!
It’s California.
I loved how she knocked over Greg, way to go Marcia, and Alice's jump scare at Marcia's scuba gear. Also I loved Marcia's dress at the beginning.
Unfortunately, there's never an ottoman around when you try that maneuver on an attacker in the street.
@@hyacinthlynch843unless the attacker is Dick Van Dyke!😂
The Brady Bunch❤ Marsha, Marsha Marsha❤ this TV show will never go out of style. The 80s is back. The booster sound like a gang related 😂
Except this isn't the 80s, it's 1969 - 1974.
I don't know how you can mistake this show for the 80s 😂It's so obviously a 70s show!
@@sasz2107yep
…. The pilot episode with the wedding was 1968!
"Sure jan"
I remember trying to join different clubs in high school in the 80s because I saw this show. They showed reruns of the Brady Bunch all the time back then.
❤ Marcia is great
I love the show ❤
The girl in the yellow is the same one who is the president of the boosters, and gets Peter’s lava all over her.
Yes, it's the same episode lol.❤
That was so hilarious when Marcia scared Alice wearing that scuba suit Lol 😂 Marcia has a cute giggle.I thought Jan was gonna freak out too when she walked in.
0:55 on a loop
I think that Marcia looked really beautiful and sexy in that leotard and tights
Brady Bunch Vs. Partridge Family 😮
I preferred The Brady Bunch over The Partridge Family.
Brady Bunch for sure!!!!
We lived in a small town. I was bored and joined all the clubs too.
Maureen looks cool in the karate outfit!
I agree with you there. Marcia e very beautiful young lady and she knows how to defend herself
Watching reruns of this I really wanted to do ceramics. One of the few electives I could take. To be fair it wasn’t anything like I thought.
I want to see the volcano 🌋!
Marcia sneaking up on Alice in the scuba gear though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did she sign up for the Black Students' Union?
Since there was only a few black kids in the entire school I doubt there was one.
😂
better times
That's 8 clubs. I would have done scuba diving, karate and yoga. I'm too shy about singing to be in drama.
Marsha founded Cobra Kai!
I remember watching this episode in class when I was a freshman. All the other boys were making fun of it.
Marcia: "It's hard to walk in these."
Jan: "Well you're not supposed to walk in them, you're supposed to swim in them."
Jan was real swift wasn't she?
Marcia, the overachiever (submitted from the class of 82, bleachers seaters that sat around and mocked mostly everything)
I love Alice
All the tall girls signed up for the poetry club.
Marcia Brady, the original huk tuh girl.
...Marcia is showing why she was so 'popular' in School....while, being REVILED in the process; If you notice, she is supposed to be doing these 'classes' WITH others, but she's doing it (around the House), to be BETTER than Others (3:06) ...which, WON'T make her Popular....A 'sign', of her overeagerness.....Oh, Marcia, Marcia, MARCIA....(1:49) (0:53) (1:32) (2:18) ..
No one else ever found it curious, that the girls immediately took the Brady last name
It was a TV gimmick to fit the title of the show. Nothing more.
1970s

Boosters, Marcia is prepping for Sorority rush
I wish my school would've had karate and scuba club. We just had boring regular kid stuff like comics and chess.
Oh Marcia..
Marcia looked real cute in her archery outfit..
wtf they have scuba at their school!?
"Getting involved with the kids at skewl."
It always drove me crazy the way she said skuuuu-welllll instead of "school."
We say it that way in Virginia and the South
I relate. Minus the STEM-y things because I never had the knack for it, all the clubs sounded interesting to me, back in school. The school newspaper, theater, Key Club? How can you narrow it down other than needing to?
So the den half a ceiling
I wonder if this episode upset Jan. 🤔
We only associate with *certain* kinds of kids…
The layout of the girls room changed often. What an odd shaped room?
#ChristineTaylor looked just like her - wasn't sure if this was from the films I've not seen. Taylor was hotter though.
Was anyone else concerned that Marsha would have shot her father with an arrow if not for his briefcase?
It was a suction cup arrow.
Dang, she could have done some serious damage to Mike and Greg!
...Not with an arrow with a suction cup on its tip.
@@Lava1964 Okay, then let's just leave it at Greg! 😂😂
But, Jan, you don't have any friends.
that yoga outfit is kinda see through..this aired on TV in the 70s? 3:25 👀
This seems like more of a Sue Heck thing to do.
How do you know unless you try 😊
She almost killed the dad
The only thing positive is that she was not going to clear it with someone else what to wear.
To sign up for every club trying to be popular
"skjüel"
...6 kids, a house in California, a lazy unemployed wife, a dog, a full time housekeeper, 2 cars, all on an architect's salary?
Architects do very well

Mrs Brady wasn’t lazy & California wasn’t destroyed by Gavin newsom back then .
Mike wasn't interested in any of that wang dang.....😮
A stay at home mother, teenage kids, and they have a housekeeper/maid. 🙄
🙄🙄
Carol Brady is incredibly lazy. What does she even do?
Marcia probably grew up to be a Karen.
I would have been that one odd ball to join the ceramics club. 🫤
