When the Brady Bunch went to The Grand Canyon

How did they all fit into a station wagon: Bob, Carol, 6 kids and Alice?

Don't forget Ted.

I think you meant Mike & Carol.

Mike driving, Carol in front passenger seat, Cindy between them

Alice, Greg and Marcia in back seat.

Bobby, Peter and Jan in the flat part of the station wagon.

Peter sat in Mike’s lap and Bobby sat in Greg’s. Alice was strapped to the roof.

The wagon legally sat 8 although you could squeeze another person or two inside, and they had a luggage carrier on top.

I love questions like this.

Alice was strapped to the car's undercarriage, and just prayed they didn't take a short cut through cacti fields.

Cousin Oliver hid in the engine

In the 1970s, we had a station wagon that had a set of fold down seats in the back that could seat four children or two adults very uncomfortably. We got 4 adults, two teenagers and three children in that car for a 1000 mile journey.

I thought they tied Cindy to the roof?

Peter sat in daddy's lap.

We had the exact same station wagon - a Plymouth Satilite - in the exact same color - metallic gold - and thought we were the shit! Three rows of bench seats - the seat in the back flipped up from the wagon bed and faced backwards. You could fit everyone as outlined above but it would be tight. Our family did a cross country camping trip in it from NYC to Salt Lake one summer - but only 3 kids and no maid.

Alice stayed behind with Bobby and Cindy and later flew out to meet them. That is why they got lost because Alice left a message telling them to meet them at the airport and got mixed up with the time difference.

The Bradys had two cars. Did they only do it in the one?

Like the President and Vice-President, Mike and Carol Brady never traveled together.

by Anonymousreply 16December 3, 2017 6:02 PM

Mike must have really been raking it in during the 1970s. Raising six children, an unemployed wife and a live-in housekeeper. And then Carol hauls off and drags in Cousin Oliver.

R17, Mike designed all the gay bathhouses in Southern California.

Alice sat on the stick shift.

If Tiger had still been around, they could've strapped him to the roof.

"Alice sat on the stick shift"

She never sat on mine. She'd say, "No ring, no ringa-ding-ding" or "No contract/No contact".

But Mike and I used to play.

Alice rode under the car, Cape Fear style. It's a miracle the rest of them made it home alive.

Couldn't Alice have stayed home and insisted on some rest away from those Brady fuckers for a few days.

Bitch had no life, the Brady’s were Alice’s everythang

They made Jan hitchhike out there, but Jan being Jan she got lost.

After briefly turning to prostitution, she got a job at Burger Chef.

We never heard from her again.

Damn, OP, this was just on today. Some channel I never watch. It was terrible. People actually made money writing this dreck. They were certainly trying for diversity in their own special Brady way in this episode with the Native Americans.

But I cannot believe how they just forgave the old guy (aka Mr. Magoo) who locked them in a cell to die. Oh sorry please forgive me. Oh, okay Mr. Psychopath. We'll give you a ride.

I stayed to watch the interior design and they weren't even home. Poor Alice - why can't that idle housewife do anything?

Wrong, she became a nun

That burger commercial was in 1977, 3 years after The Brady Bunch went off the air. It was not a before they were stars thing. Why would she do it?

Money, R30.

Eve Plumb bought a Malibu beach house for $55k when she was ELEVEN YEARS OLD and sold it for $3M and moved to NY.

Don't forget Jimmy Pocaya, OP. I'm sure Mike gave him some frank and beans too.

by Anonymousreply 32June 20, 2018 2:00 PM

Mike's frank and beans had to be better than the metallic and battery acid taste of the ones Bobby gave him!
