LOL In 1979 I turned my room in a pad! I was 13. I had three colored disco lights!! First time I turned on my disco light I got a scare. I saw the shadow of a huge man on the wall... It was my King chess piece's shadow being projected! Still it was fun. Though I didn't have Greg Brady's decorating budget...
LOL!!!! Remember Lava lamps? LOL! MY mother wouldn't let me get one she said it was too hippie-ish LOL!!! Love the Bradys and this episode! SO funny! I grew up with them! Kim
@@denisemayosky1955 I think I recall that. To insult a trend or call it passe, one would say it's "on the way out." But "way out" by itself meant a compliment like "far out" or cool, haha.
@@bobdavis4848 These 1960s terms are part of the reason I wish I had been born in the 70s or later...... or in Herod's time and one of the babies he had knocked off.
I honestly really love this show, it takes me to the 70’s but not back, for the first time since I’m young lol, It always surprises me the way people spoke, their customs, and the style of decades past. It feels ancient almost, historical even, Thanks to the channel for uploading 🎉
Junior year in high school, my parents wanted me to have a giant office calendar on the wall of my bedroom so I could keep track of all my school assignments.
Yet somehow he managed to pay the mortgage, a full time housekeeper and clothe and feed six kids. Either you got more bang for your buck back then or I'm calling bullshit.
Thanks so much for sharing this classic episode! This scene still has me in stitches, knowing that it is still Mike's work den. And coincidentally, it's great to see Mike (and Carol) supportive and understanding about Greg's growing up.
I agree this was a great episode. I was only a couple years old when the show came on the air in the early 70s. I used to watch it around 7980 as a preteen. Loved every minute of it come home but channel 5 on cable and just just love this show and let me tell you I’d be an easy father For a great son like Greg, but there’s no chance in hell that he would get my den that’s my den. He can sleep with his brothers until he leaves college and that’s it and what’s funny about the designers house that the house was mammoth but one bedroom for three kids one bedroom for the three girls and they share one toilet are you kidding me in one shower, stupid design but maybe the attic but it gets too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter even for California the great episode a wonderful time but I’m so glad with the school in the mid 80s. I had a sports car jeans Nikes my jacket that looks still holds up 41 years later lol but those 70s look are you kidding me holy smokes
I loved Greg's room in this episode! I actually had that one light in my room, as well as a couple blacklight posters, back in the 90s. I was a semi-regular shopper at Spencer Gifts. 😅
I remember my mom having a Spencer catalog and everything looks so nice but when we got the things we ordered we were sorely disappointed. They looked like the crap you would get either from Cracker Jacks (R) or Cereal boxes.
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 I never bought from their catalog, just their store at the mall. And they had pretty quality stuff. I still have most of it, but it's in storage. There are still a handful of novelty lights I still have out that I use occasionally. And I still have one blacklight poster hanging up in a frame, but it's a classic one, "Lost Horizon" I think it's called.
No, the attic was there. It's just that it was small. In fact, Mike even comments when Carol said 'what about the attic' and Mike says something like 'that would be perfect is Greg were three feet tall.' It's later in the series that it became a full walk up attic.
If Tyrone F. Horneigh (Laugh In TV Show) saw Greg's room he would say "This room looks really groovy. Can I bring Gladys over one day???? I just know she will love it!!!!!" Lol!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
He also played Eddie, the guy who sold him the piece of sh*t car in season 3. Also played Hank Carter, a college friend who offered to take Greg in as his room mate, in season 4.
One would think an architect could figure out how to turn the attic into two bedrooms…. Or just say no. The house already had a room for Alice, three bedrooms, a bonus family room, a den, a front room and dining room combo and an eat in kitchen. I also can’t understand the fight over closet space in master bedroom. Add another dresser or get a wardrobe.
That part should've had it's own clip because it was irrelevant to the main subject. I was kind of expecting Greg to try to invite her to see his new "pad", and it was the other kid who said "groovy".
Danish Modern to American Disaster. Only square parents would say that, 😂😂. At the time this was a super cool room....hibiscus flowers, psychedelic posters, mobiles, neon colors on everything including the bed spread. I love it when Mike unexpectedly finds himself standing directly underneath a light fixture, and then looks straight up into a fringed lampshade. Back then, nothing was more gloatworthy than teenagers succeeding in freaking out their conservative parents.
1:00. HILARIOUS!!!!! I think one of his parents references the attic earlier in this episode and the other one says ' "that'd be great, if Greg were only 3 feet tall (or 2 feet tall).' "
Looking back on this.. it is ridiculous. I think Greg wanted a private bedroom cause he was getting older? But for his dad to give up his critical office space? Mike will never get ANY work done if he moves into the family room.... That is the noisiest busiest part of the house 2nd to the kitchen. So then suddenly years later the house has an Attic that greg moves into.. oh well, that's tv..
I have a much older cousin who bought a '55 in the shape that Gerg's was around the same time. I remember riding in it when I was a little boy. He blew the engine in it and then he bought a '57 Chevy in pretty much the same shape. He fixed it all up, doing most of the work himself. It was a real beauty when it was done and he used it for his daily driver until he got married. He's in his 70's now and still has the car.
Not really. My mother was the same way about her walls. It's still drummed into my head 50 years later about how she worked after her and my father married and all her salary got put away for the down payment to build the house. She never referred to it as her 'home' but rather her 'investment.'
I thought it was cool that Greg was not worried about being laughed at about the flowers decorations in the den that became his pad. I didn’t notice him ever wearing flowery clothes, though. This first scene is what made me start wanting light machines for my room I bugged my parents until I could get a few. The last scene made me cringe about Greg coming on too strong. I was much too shy and feminist to persist like that.
This show was so dorky. I hated those situation family shows and it is not much better today fake reality shows. The only one that was good was cops and that jail one
Greg's room gave me the inspiration to decorate my own room like that. A totally psychedelic experience.
LOL In 1979 I turned my room in a pad! I was 13. I had three colored disco lights!!

Hollywood's decorating budget.............
That door is really soundproof.
LOL!YEah, especially since the ir is a huge open area that goes from the living room fireplace to the den LOL!
I'm diggin' the scene in these comments man!
If I was Mike, I would be checking Greg for some hidden bowls, bongs and rolled up joints.
Psychedelic Mushrooms would be more like it.
Mike finds a spoon, a syringe and a lighter under Greg's bed..
Mike: I think its time we had a little chat about heroin young man😂
This show is so groovy! Like far out man!
Outtasite, dynamite, really bent the gig outta shape! (All these expressions replaced "boss," "gear" and "way out.")
@@bobdavis4848 Funny how slang comes around again! In the '80s, we used the term "boss" as a synonym for "cool"!

“Make it my own pad, my own scene”😂😂
You can see Mr. Brady die inside upon hearing these words… I think I’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake! What have I done?! 😳
Junior year in high school, my parents wanted me to have a giant office calendar on the wall of my bedroom so I could keep track of all my school assignments.
Plaster the walls.
Hey that was the talk in this time period. 😊
@@TnseWlms That would be very useful. Not very cool. But very useful. Lol!!!!🤣
Mike's den is almost as much square footage as my house.
Coffin Apartment?
You live in a shed ?
MIke was the sole breadwinner for the family and a prominent architect. He deserved to have his own den.
this program aired 50 years ago... it IS fiction.
Yet somehow he managed to pay the mortgage, a full time housekeeper and clothe and feed six kids. Either you got more bang for your buck back then or I'm calling bullshit.
More bang for buck in the 70s women were still predominantly stay at home
One of his buildings collapsed.
@@sylviaisgod6947It was Beebee Galini's powder puff factory
Thanks so much for sharing this classic episode! This scene still has me in stitches, knowing that it is still Mike's work den. And coincidentally, it's great to see Mike (and Carol) supportive and understanding about Greg's growing up.
You've got to admire Greg's confidence. I remember my first day of high school and I wasn't anywhere near as bold ad Greg was.
It was in the script.

Very late 60's-early 70's.
That's what I was thinking.
Greg Brady is ready to drop some serious acid.
Mushrooms would be a better way for him to get into the groove..... they're the gateway. 😂
More likely fruit punch.
Robert Young would have put his shoe up Buds rear end if he tried this on Father knows best.
Ah, the good old days. s/
😂😂😂😂
So would've I.
I ❤ The Brady Bunch 💘💘💘💘💘💘
They really messed up on the HGTV renovation by not including Greg's funky pad.
Dude!!! Loving that scene!!!
Reminds me of “Laugh In” skit “The Party”. I can just see Goldie Hawn dancing.
1:57 what’s he using the gas can for in the back? A flowerpot? 😂
I love the room
So many activities!
Mike's den/office should have been Alice's room. She definitely earned it.
she was a hired hand not family.
I’m not sure if Alice ever got a paycheck….
She had her own room
@@xjcrossx She certainly did. Although it was only ever shown in one episode. I think it was the one where she broke her ankle and was bedridden.
I think they kept Alice in a closet when she wasn't needed lolz.
Gregs allowance must've been pretty big to afford all that stuff😂
Before the attic became part of the house.
No, the attic was there. It's just that it was small. In fact, Mike even comments when Carol said 'what about the attic' and Mike says something like 'that would be perfect is Greg were three feet tall.'
It's later in the series that it became a full walk up attic.
Greg's room looked so 70s Lol 😂 I can only imagine what this new generation thinks of that!
You'd be surprised a lot of those lightings and style are coming back with this online streaming stuff
@@davemustaki134 NIMBY, if I had one...................
A groovy room vibe for Johnny Bravo
I made "curtains" from beer can tabs back in the day. My brother drank lots of Coors so I had plenty of tabs to work with.
If Tyrone F. Horneigh (Laugh In TV Show) saw Greg's room he would say "This room looks really groovy. Can I bring Gladys over one day???? I just know she will love it!!!!!" Lol!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
That was not a den , that was a home office
Greg had the right idea. How’re you gonna have a huge house with 6 kids and only 3 bedrooms?
Aww!
In the early seventies we used like far out groovy
"Far out, solid and right on." "Groovy" was biggest in the 60s. The Fifth Dimension were "Working On A Groovy Thing."
The guy who took the girl's book also played Jerry Rogers, the opposing QB who stole Greg's football playbook. Dude needs to stop swiping books! 😂
He also played Eddie, the guy who sold him the piece of sh*t car in season 3. Also played Hank Carter, a college friend who offered to take Greg in as his room mate, in season 4.
It seems like that room would have bee better suited to be a tv room if not Mike's office.
Some of that stuff is worth a mint now
What’s that funky song playing in the background? I love it!
I tried to Shazam it..... no luck
I remember those shaded glasses. I had some. They were groovy.
GROOVY
shaggadelic baby!
Clunky , finky , funky. 😂😂😂
Give it six months and it will smell funky as well.
Greg was the first son to enter college during the final season of the show
A gay architect with 3 kids was rare in the 70s...plus marrying a stay at home woman that refused to work.
Where did Greg get the “bread” to buy all that stuff that he used to decorate the den?
Shagadelic!
Next video in my suggestions "Greg Brady stoned."

there was another ep in S4 when Greg moved to the attic
Yea but in S4 the attic somehow magically transformed itself from being 3 feet tall to a full walk up!
Now all he needs are a couple brods
Greg trying so hard to fit in as a high school freshman
That part should've had it's own clip because it was irrelevant to the main subject. I was kind of expecting Greg to try to invite her to see his new "pad", and it was the other kid who said "groovy".
Greg wanted privacy. But why….? What would a teen boy need privacy for? 🤔
Well…….😏
So he can master the art of baiting.
I'll give you ONE guess! 😂
He wants to go blind.
Who else liked his room! I did!
she was beautiful
And.....outta nowhere.....comes all these groovy wall accessesories, never seen before, never to be seen again----not even in the attic!!!!!
Greg was able to return everything to Spencer's Gifts at the mall.
wasn't that guy Jerry Rogers who stole Greg's playbook and sold him that lemon of a car?
Danish Modern to American Disaster. Only square parents would say that, 😂😂.

It's clunky,it's clinky
For fun,here at our house,we say stuff is " clinky" all the time
Didn't he think of moving in the attic til his senior year?

Oh yeah. I never noticed that LOL
Man' that's what I gotta do.....GET GROOVY!!! Then I can get some chicks!!!!!!
Greg was quite the player.
I love how Greg does not know how to "read the room" at school.😀
Why didn't Greg just keep the room after he came back down to earth
Changes? What changes?
Biggest room in the house is the den... yep, Mike was a great architect.
Gregs attic pad was more hip...
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's.
but Greg ended up in the attic
Wait I thought Greg moved into the attic?
He did, in his senior year
Looking back on this.. it is ridiculous. I think Greg wanted a private bedroom cause he was getting older? But for his dad to give up his critical office space?

This room inspired my freshman dorm room in college.
From Danish Modern to American disaster.
Next season Greg asked for a car which turned out to be a clunker
That ‘56 was a good car before Greg screwed it up. He’s a jelly head.

Old Mr Brady had a pad…for other men
You can have my den, it's your room but no paint on the walls? No holes to hang up anything? That seems weird.
good grief

I wanted to hang a small sign from the eaves outside my bedroom window, and my parents said, "You are not to alter this house."
Greg was one hip cat. Dig it man ?
Greg wants big changes from a boy to a man

Waaaay too much going on in that room
It looks like a bad dream one has after eating too much Chinese food! 😂
