@@kenlompart9905 Not at first because she talked about it with Alice to see if it was snitching or not. Then when Alice said it wasn’t snitching everything was ok.
@@kenlompart9905 I didn’t see that part. Apparently you watched the full episode. But I didn’t. Only this part. But either way I feel Marcia did the right thing because she didn’t snitch on him right away for number one an number two she was trying to help him get outta trouble. Not in trouble. Plus smoking is bad for you anyway. So he shouldn’t be smoking in the first place.
Greg's body was telling him not to smoke! All the coughing was his body's way of saying, "Hey! Don't give me this crap! Knock it off!" I remember once my brother was smoking in the garage (he was around Greg's age) and my little sister, age 3 came in and picked up the cigarette and took a huge puff. She started coughing something fierce! People ought to listen to their bodies.
Actually, Marcia, Greg would also be getting INTO more trouble than probably out of! (It was obvious that he couldn't stand smoking that cigarette, so it was likely that he would never do it again).
Can any of you imagine a sitcom TODAY that shows a group of high school students just hanging out talking and smoking cigarettes? It's become so demonized by society that the line 'hey man they're just plain cigarettes' wouldn't even work today. Because parents would probably approve more of their kids smoking pot than tobacco!
@@twofiveb Yes, I think so. Like they had when I was young when that deep foreboding voice came on TV to warn that the content may not be suitable for everyone! LOL
I wonder if cigarettes were ever advertised in the first two years of The Brady Bunch, as cigarette advertising was allowed on TV until the end of 1970?
Brady Bunch was the late 60's to early 70's time period. Everyone smoked during this time, especially women. It was just the cool thing to do. In fact if you didn't smoke, you were considered weird. Now Today....it has flipped and smoking is viewed as being very unhealthy and unpopular. If you do smoke in today world's you are in the minority.
When Mike and Carol were talking about where grey got his talent from. Well no offense Carol he wouldn't have gotten it from your side as you are not his blood mother so he would have gotten either from his Dad's side or his Biological mother's side.
I had to pause the video when I saw Cindy seeing Greg smoking. My first thought was - how predictable she would be the one to catch him first. My second thought - even Santa will find out. Greg doesn't have a chance at keeping the raps on this one.
Teens smoking in 1973 was not a big concern. Most parents either smoked themselves or looked the other way. High schools had student smoking sections for students 16 yo and up as long as a parent provided consent. Most did. If a school didn’t provide a designated smoking section then the students used the bathrooms to smoke. In the mornings, the boys and girls each had “the smoking bathroom.” This bathroom would be like a party before the first class of the day and it was filled with smoke. Teachers looked the other way until the bell rang for the first period. It was only then that a faculty member would enter the bathroom to clear it out. And no students got into trouble. Typically the faculty member would say something like “alright time to get to class. Put out your cigarettes and get to class now.” It really wasn’t a big deal during the 1970s to smoke.
@@MikeP-sq6be Well, I remember when this show was running and I used to watch it when I was a little kid. Pot use was a big deal back then. Unlike today's changed attitudes, back then it was still considered by many of a certain age to be a drug right up there with meth, coke, heroin, etc. I think the Brady's were clean cut but the line was in there to prove that Greg would never smoke pot. But cigarettes, even though not acceptable to Mike and Carol were totally acceptable back then even in high school.
@@retroguy9494 I agree with you. Because I've been told at the time of filming this both Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb were experimenting with smoking in real life. That might have been why they wrote the episode in the first place!
@@retroguy9494 It's also funny that while they were in the midst of balling out Greg, Mike admits he smoked in high school too. And then Carol says, "but we didn't have all the evidence back then that we have now, (about their toxicity)". Which is ridiculous. Who cares if they didn't know it caused cancer in the 40s and 50s when Mike was kid? They DID know back then it was inappropriate for KIDS to smoke; and he still smoked! So those two are full of baloney.
Alice is one of a kind. She is always there for the Brady kids through thick or thin.
true she liked Jan and the locket scene
Yeah she was like a second mom
I agree. Way beyond the call of duty.
That time when they thought Alice was squeeling on them wasn't nice and Kay was a stuck up
I love how Marsha dealt with that.
Me too.
Yeah she was a stool pigeon. But in real life she smoked too. Read her autobiography.
I disagree. She was just trying to get Greg in trouble!
Marcia
@@jaclynschilt4699Clearly not.
Man, just hearing all the different music in this series brings back a very familiar comfort hug from childhood. ❤
Jan says smoking so hard for some reason it's funny to me
And she was doing it in real life
"Hey, man, they're just plain cigarettes."
Apparently, Tommy was out of the other kind.
Exactly
Alternate universe Greg became like Jimmy page.. brilliant guitar player and heroin addict.
"Gregg is smoking!!! Hurry Jan, drop your books onto the grass so we can run home faster to tattle on him!!"
That’s tattling at the right time.
2023: Greg gets caught snorting fentanyl and cocaine.
Lol. That would be the story today maybe
Alice saves the day with her emergency Narcan supply.
So Johnny Bravo got his start in the Banana Convention! 😂
their side band was, The Sword Fighters
Clowns never laughed before, beanstalks never grew.
Sword fights at dawn.
Mike went to every show!
2:56"Well" comes out "Wool".
I like how soft spoken and calm Marcia remained here
Ha, ha! Greg is such a square.
That kid with the glasses was chosen for his Ed Sullivan impression.
Funny how Greg was acting as he smoked on camera as rumor had it both he and Maureen McCormick had expirenented with smoking since the show began!
And eve
That’s the key word , he’s ACTING.
Barry was smoking even before he was cast on The Brady Bunch. He said it was really hard to make the coughing in this scene look convincing.
I love how Marsha handled this an didn’t snitch on him to the parents an at least Jan told Cindy to not tell the parents too. So thats good.
Marcia
She did tell the parents.
@@kenlompart9905 Not at first because she talked about it with Alice to see if it was snitching or not. Then when Alice said it wasn’t snitching everything was ok.
@@saeedadam9593 Yeah but I agree with Greg when he said he wished she talked to him first.

Watching him trying to smoke lol
Greg's smoking!😮
Isn’t that the same tree that mean Buddy Hinton bullied Cindy and beat up Peter? Baby talk, baby talk! LOL 😂
Remember when this was something really serious in life. ROFL

I smoked once and the coughing was enough for me to never do it again.
Sherwood Schwartz was very anti-smoking. Never mind that nearly all of the real life cast of the Brady Bunch smoked.
Never caught that he said “they’re just plain cigarettes” meaning Greg thought they were joints?
Greg's smoking! Yes he was.
He is lucky Tom didnt call the Gorgon from Triacus!!!!
Thank you. I was wondering why I recognized that kid.
@@Tim_the_Enchanter your welcome!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly! Lol
😂😂
smoke puffer haha
yeah, Greg would totally be one to join a band called Banana Convention.
Meanwhile, Marcia was doing lines of coke. How come Mike and Carol never found out about that?
Lol. That's the SECRET story
I love Marcia
Peer pressure

Sharing a joint with their kids will be accepted as normal as sharing a beer. Except that one beer doesn't cause a buzz like weed does.
Today there would be a content warning. But it’s the Brady Bunch so it would just say “smoking” or “tobacco use” only.
@@twofiveb Yes, I think so. Like they had when I was young when that deep foreboding voice came on TV to warn that the content may not be suitable for everyone! LOL
This show raised me
I've been smoking since November 2000
Greg his first time smoking a cigarette
Back when you were allowed to smoke on school campus.That guy in the jean jacket looks like a young Elton John from that 70s era Lol!
They weren’t on school campus. It was a park which they mentioned. Why would Greg and Cindy even be in the same school lol
Oh Mind your own business Cindy!! You've been a snoop and tattletale from the very beginning.
What's funny is that IRL "Greg" smoked all the time, so he was pretending like he'd never smoked before. I think that takes skill. 😂
I wonder if cigarettes were ever advertised in the first two years of The Brady Bunch, as cigarette advertising was allowed on TV until the end of 1970?
What episode of this?
Season 2, Episode 14 aired Jan 1971 "Where There's Smoke"
Brady Bunch was the late 60's to early 70's time period. Everyone smoked during this time, especially women. It was just the cool thing to do. In fact if you didn't smoke, you were considered weird. Now Today....it has flipped and smoking is viewed as being very unhealthy and unpopular. If you do smoke in today world's you are in the minority.
When Mike and Carol were talking about where grey got his talent from. Well no offense Carol he wouldn't have gotten it from your side as you are not his blood mother so he would have gotten either from his Dad's side or his Biological mother's side.
10 years later he goes to be a doctor and he tells people smoking is bad for your health.
Cindy being a tattle tale :)
Glad Marcus didn’t tell just yet
I had to pause the video when I saw Cindy seeing Greg smoking. My first thought was - how predictable she would be the one to catch him first. My second thought - even Santa will find out. Greg doesn't have a chance at keeping the raps on this one.

Ok no! Smoking!!!
It's snitching.
Marcia could have talk to Greg about it and it wasn't really her business
Tommy, the red headed guy, is so cute! Hott!!
You can't rat on a sibling!
Snitches
Marcia. I got news for you!! That's snitching!!
Stitches for snitches....
After this episode rumour has it Greg taught Marsha how to smoke….pole.
"Theyre just normal cigarettes man". Meaning theyre not MARIJUANA cigarettes
Yea...we know. We get it. It was called 'grass' back then.
@@retroguy9494 you wouldn't expect a "grass" reference on The Brady Bunch though. Maybe they weren't as clean cut as everyone thought.

Smoking is not healthy for you
Did you figure that one out all by yourself there dude?
oh man, my whole life I thought they were healthy
Mind yo biness woman. Snitches get stitches.
Cindy was a Karen in this episode
