When Marcia Brady lost the lead in Romeo and Juliet because she was such a bitch.

Hark, who goes there?

MOM!

What was she, a stuck-up teen queen? You can kinda understand why she was, considering what she had to look at in the mirror. Susan Dey and Valerie Bertinelli didn't have anything better. And maybe Maureen McCormick's blonde teen perfection had a lot to do with how the low-rated show stayed on for 4 or 5 seasons.

I always liked how Florence Henderson played this scene, she didn't let her off easy.

Marsha was being really bitchy. "What do you mean, my ATTITUDE??"

My sister and I used to re-enact this scene all the time. Of course we altered the words just a bit.

Marsha was always such a cunt that only her mother could love her.

I never understood how she was the pretty one. She was UGLY.

The scene would have been more dramatic if Marcia would have smashed the vanity mirror.

I was obsessed with Marcia Brady as a young gay boy and wanted to be her so badly. I still wish my teenage years had been like hers . . .

CUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNTCUNT.

HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE. HEE HEE. ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME….

CUNT. HEE HEE.

Yes! With a jar of cold cream. SMASH!

She'd have won an Emmy.

Tasteful friends, surely amongst the art elite on DL, somebody must collect Eve Plumb's artwork? She doesn't ever want to be asked to say, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," again.

Wow, Jan is a minimum art talent.

According to R12's link eve Plumb has been painting "Steadily for twenty years."

My God, she must be exhausted!

R7=Eve Plumb

Speaking of the Bradys, are there any pictures of Christopher Knight's ass from My Fair Brady? I watched an episode or two and just got the feeling that Chris is a drunk.

Moesha, Moesha, Moesha!

Really, Jan @ R7? Why don't you go make out with your imaginary boyfriend, George Glass? What? Something suddenly came up? Not like it did with my boyfriend, Doug Simpson.

I imagine r10's post being sung to the tune of the jingle for Meow Mix cat food.

Tina? But she slept with the lady just to get the understudy role, I can only imagine what she did to get me kicked off the play

No Marica, it's your attitude you brought this all on yourself

Attitude? Brought it on myself, big talk from someone who married an obvious homosexual.

Don't preach to me, mother. I saw what you and Greg were doing in the attic bedroom last night.

I hated Marcia. My sister hated her too. My sister once said - in front of our oh-so-catholic family (who thought we were all sweetness and light. HAH!): "I bet Marcia's a real bitch when she's on the rag".

If I had been Jan, I'd have slipped some hair removal cream into that bitch's conditioner. Brush that out, you insufferable white trash.

Maureen showed such range in that scene where she screams MOM! Comes close to her first day of high school episode - I HATE high school. I HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT!

Marcia was looking forward to the intellectual stimulation of high school and what did she get? Greg's brain dead jock friends trying to put her hand in her cooter.

I do have sympathy for Eve. It must be so frustrating to have to keep answering the same questions over and over about work you did 40 years ago. Some of the cast have just embraced it and use it to make money but that doesn't mean she has to. I bet she'd be a great Datalounger - dry, bitchy, no-nonsense. And I'd LOVE to hear her real gossip, not the recycled crap about the Bradys we've heard for years.

Tiger ate Fluffy!

R2 Her acting was pretty good there, actually.

I’m gonna shit in Jan’s wig!!!

Every time I see that scene I LAUGH! “MOM!” THE DRAMA! LOL!!! Marcia was being a bitch though. I know the guy who played Romeo wanted to smack the shit out of her during that rehearsal. LOL!

Did DL crack open in the 2015 threads when it came out of Primetime? This is like the 6th 2015 thread bumped that I’ve seen? But I am wondering if this very special episode of Brady Bunch was actually based on a real occurrence in FloHen’s life.

[quote] I do have sympathy for Eve.

Anyone would.

That's adorable. Did you grow up to be a bottom? Marry me!

I think he grew up to be Lindsey Graham.

I am beautiful! I am noble ! I AM JULIET!

Ordinarily, I hate the "resurrect threads from 2015" troll. But this is a Brady thread, so...

That was one of my favorites of the series' episodes, and from my overall fave Season 4. Mrs. Brady gives a good parental tough-love talk to Marcia in this one, and Marcia is a typically devastated teenage daughter her.

In her closet doing coke and playing solitaire instead of on set and other dark Marcia secrets.

Incorporate Motown into your angst Marcia! Really sing the blues!

I wish Bobby threw a football and hit thupid Thindy Brady in the mouth and knocked out her teeth.

This has been my favourite thread in a long while. Thanks OP!

For weeks my sister and I would do the "MOMMMMMM" bit anytime my mother asked us to do anything around the house.

R42 Ridiculous, that is not going to correct her lisp.

Marcia girl, I feel your pain!

The big blue eyed bo’hunk Don Drysdale!

R47 Was he sleeping with Mike?

Seems he was gunning for Greg.

THIS is how you do "angst into the mirror," you little bitch.

Imagine if Don Drysdale had been gay and he and Robert Reed had hooked up. Then imagine anyone finding out. Their head would have exploded!

I saw it but I’m not supposed to tattle. Oops!

Lol r52

R52 you may have typed it that way, but I totally read it with a lisp.

Eew r36 I hate you I hate you.

Doug Simpson totally enabled her abusive behavior.

He’s cancelled, I’m telling you. Cancelled!

Lea Michele would have made an interesting Juliet.

Was Maureen McCormick the Lea Michele of her day? Eve Plum always seems to spiral out of control at any mention of the Brady Bunch like she has severe PTSD.

Mike to Don Drysdale: "Something suddenly came up. [Wink.]"

Mike was grooming Doug Simpson.

What were the sleeping arrangements on the Queen Mary and in a London when he took all the kids on a very special trip there?

Last night I dreamed that Bobby was making fun of Peter’s tinymeat.

This is rather delicious with it’s scored melodramatic music, heightened sound effects and perfect editing.

Which Homeo and Juliet was this? The 1967 film?

r63 All that's missing from that is "A Film By Eve Plumb."

R65 Exactly, it’s her Mirror, Father, Mirror, a performative piece she likes to share with people she’s meeting for the first time.

Marcia always talked down to Cindy and bossed her around. No warmth.

R67 I think all older siblings do that. The younger siblings crave approval from the “cool” older siblings and comply.

Marcia definitely had BDE.

R67 Cindy was a little cunt and deserved the bad treatment she got.

OP, no.

THIS was the happiest day of Jan's life.

This was up there, too.

OK, Marcia was being a bitch. But let's be honest, she was right about one thing: Harold was stinking up the play. Boy was a mess and no good diva would let that go unnoticed.

Maureen was a beautiful child, but damn she was an ugly crier.

Poor Maureen now has old lady labia neck.

Let’s discuss her outfit.

Personally, I don’t think the peach color works. And the gold rickrack... ??
