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 🎉
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
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.
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.
@@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 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
It’s funny how the decade could be different, but the story never changes 😂😂😂😂😂 My parents reacted the same way when I decorated my room with a very TikTok aesthetic back in the day 😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
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..
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".
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.
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).' "
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.
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.
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.
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.'
