Marcia Brady's date to the school dance cancels at the last minute -- and she's convinced it's because of her new braces! #BradyBunch | Now streaming on Paramount+ Where to watch: para.mt/BradyBunch
It was 4 for me. Got them removed in March of the year I graduated high school. One of my friends got me a "Congratulations on your naked teeth!" bracelet.
I had them for a year and a half but was going to be 2 years. I was 12 when they went on, sadly i was bullied and were called names like Braceface and train tracks. I was one of the first in my year to have them. So when others began to get them later in life, I was like so how do you feel now?
Great acting ability aside, Bob Reed really did care about the children like they were his own. As a "mature" gay man myself, I find myself naturally protective of kids I've connected with, maybe in part because I'll never have them traditionally. It's really no surprise he was way more comfortable being a father figure than doing the kissing scenes with a woman. (Though even through his discomfort, he still did them convincingly!)
@@AndrewMacLaineyes apparently he was very close with them and acted as a real life father figure to them. The trip to England to learn more about Shakespeare etc.
Much of it was real in terms of the crying scenes. Maureen later admitted she was going through a lot of personal trials, and the crying scenes allowed her to let out her frustration and sadness.
I can't recall any other child or adult actor on this show shedding real tears other than MoMo in season 1 and 2. It ultimately exemplifies how much more life dramatic the earlier seasons were and how fluffy they were later.
She later admitted that she was already going through a lot of personal trials, and the crying scenes allowed her to let it all out without anybody being concerned.
That’s what I posted obviously, Cindy and Bobby were just an absolute stand set a few corny lines. Peter was pretty cool. Jam was pretty cool. Greg was a good little character, but Marsha the first two years she was a fantastic actress. She would laugh she she was fantastic and we all remember the best one was when she did follow the year. She couldn’t tell her dad why she was outside. I mean, brilliant young actress she should be very proud looking back.
@@RB2331I like Peter a lot but Bobby was a better actor than him. Especially, as they got older. Mike definitely had more storylines/dialogue then Chris for this reason.
I will always have a place in my heart for the cute boy in high school who asked me out on a date when I had braces. He scored major points with me, forever, even though we only dated a few times. ❤️
Robert Reed was always so good in scenes with the kids Considering she only had them on for one episode She's just insecure about wearing braces Alan's parents sure picked a bad time to go out of town love that episode great episode 😍🥰😻🤩😘💯💘💚💚💚💚💚💚
Yeah maybe he would have been more credible if he brought a parent with him to verify his claim. And personally, I thought girls with braces were cute.
Oh brotha! Marcia was the one character that always had superficial storylines: braces, gettin hit on the nose, being a drama queen when she had the lead in the play, trippin on her first day of high school, wanting to be cheerleader.
LOL. Marcia sure was psycho in this episode. But I have to admit, Bobby saying nice things about how she looked in her dress? What kid brother does that? 😅

To a kid, getting braces/glasses is telling them they are defective. And thus, they are "ugly" and cursed with a reason to be made fun of. Marcia's lashing out was actually a realistic defense mechanism for a child. She felt life treated her unfairly, so she felt she was the victim and therefore hurt people before they would hurt her. I'm not saying this is a modern issue, but...
@@AndrewMacLaine That's ridiculous! No one was hurting Marcia, she had the one of the best families anybody could hope for. I understand where she's coming from. She's a child, she feels ugly, and she afraid of being fun of. I used to be a child and I had more than my share of that. But if I'd treated people like dirt because of it, I've have gotten a good hard swat, and rightfully so.
@@welcometogreenaquasglen1846When was life ever noted for its fairness anyway? Marcia had a right to be self-conscious, but she had no right whatsoever to treat people like that.
I remember being self conscious about my braces until some guy called me out on it saying,” you’re not smiling cuz you don’t want to show your braces”. That cured me.
I always hated Marcia. So vain and self-absorbed. When Peter and Bobby were playing football and accidentally hit Marcia in the face, I bemoaned the fact that they were playing football instead of learning to operate a steamroller.
