The Brady Bunch: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Absentee Actor]]: Robert Reed refused to appear in the original show's final episode, finding its plot (Bobby selling Greg a shampoo that turns his hair orange) to be too ridiculous.

* [[An Aesop]]

* [[Gilligan Cut]]: Despite Mike, Tiger comes to the Brady wedding. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Cindy

* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

** [[The Unfavourite]]: Jan certainly ''feels'' that way often enough.

* [[Hair of Gold]]: The Brady women, per the [[Expository Theme Tune]].

* [[Happily Adopted]]: Mike evidently legally adopted the girls, since they go by the name of Brady for the entire series.

* [[Happily Married]]: Mike and Carol

* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: The Dittmeyers, who lived next door to the Bradys. They were eventually shown in - and played a major role in the plot of - ''The Brady Bunch Movie''.

** We DO see Mr. Dittmeyer in one episode (probably in the one where Carol and Cindy have their tonsils taken out postponing the famil's trip on Mr. Phillips boat) where Alice is practicing casting a fishing line into a bucket and she overshoots it over the fence and hooks Mr. Dittmeyer. But it was a throwaway gag in the last segment of an episode.

* [[Homage]]: The subject of many.

* [[Identical Stranger]]: "Two Petes in a Pod"

* [[Its Always Sunny in Miami]]: There has never once been a rainy day on the Brady Bunch. Could be explained away that they live in Southern California but a more practical [[Real Life]] reason is probably that they had a huge backyard set that would be a bitch to dry out.

* [[Large Ham]]: Pretty much any time the kids do a play or a homemade movie.
