You know? In S3's "The Big Bet", Marcia (if she were there to keep Bobby in line), this is what she would say: BOBBY: (to Rachel) See? I told Greg if I came along, you wouldn't mind. (Rachel just glares at Bobby a little then resumes watching the movie.) JAN: (if she and Cindy were at the movies too) I think she does, Bobby. (As Peter, Jan, and Cindy in one of Peter's girl classmate's car looks on, Greg, Rachel, and Marcia have a short meeting and decide about Greg's "next date" the next time he collaborates with Rachel.) MARCIA: (to Bobby) Next time it is going to be just me, Greg, and Rachel whenever he goes on dates/collabs/outings with Rachel from now on! (turns to Greg) What do you think, Greg? GREG: I have no problem with Marcia tagging along. I mean, "I would be cool with Marcia tagging along the next time". I just do not want Bobby to have another victory! (A "Runaway Guys" parody. Also, George in this clip, he would later appear in the S4 episode "Greg Gets Grounded".) GEORGE: I do not know how to feel about this. Yours is like, "Oh, I am sacrificing!". GREG: (about his dates with Rachel the next time) I don't mind if Marcia comes with me, I don't mind if Jan comes with me, I don't mind if Cindy comes with me, I don't mind if Peter comes with me. I just don't want Bobby to get it! Speaking of George in the S4 episode "Greg Gets Grounded", even if Greg (who was grounded from the car keys and driving the car for a week) actually borrowed Alice's bus pass to go to the stadium and buy the tickets (so he could see the rock concert with Rachel), he still would've used a vehicle. And I have a good point with that. (NOTE: Greg did a loophole by driving his friend's George's car. And Carol Brady found out about the incident --that being by George's mother Jenny. Carol Brady told Mike Brady the story. And Mike Brady grounded Greg from leaving the house for 10 days. Then Greg, he was further grounded. So he wasn't allowed to leave the house for 10 days and could only leave the house to go to school. And the only time he was allowed to see his friends while grounded was school hours.) Mike Brady and Carol Brady said that Greg (because he almost caused an accident with the car) was grounded from using the car for a week. And Greg heard that every store in the neighborhood was sold out (including the music store, the book store, and the library). The stadium was the only place to buy the rock concert tickets. Even though it is unknown why he didn't ask Alice if he could borrow her bus pass or ask Carol or Mike to drive him to the stadium isn't made known, asking Alice if he could borrow her bus pass still would mean using a vehicle. Because a METRO bus is most definitely a vehicle. He wasn't allowed to use the car nor any vehicle for a week. If I were Greg and borrowed Alice, Peter, Marcia, Jan, or Cindy's bus passes so I could use the bus and buy the tickets from the stadium, I would be finding a loophole. And then I would be grounded from using the car for 10 days (or perhaps a year, a lustrum, a decade, a century, or even a millennium). I got this from the website bradybunchreviewed.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/episode-15-greg-gets-grounded/.
Hope Sherwood was in The Brady Bunch about four times. Her first appearance she played Marcia's friend Jenny in The Slumber Caper. Then she played Rachel, Greg's girlfriend in both The Big Bet and Greg Gets Grounded. Finally she played a classmate of Greg's in The Hair-brained Scheme.
@@melissacooper4282 In the Hair-Brained scheme, the other female classmate Greg encounters in the beauty salon is portrayed by Barbara Bernstein, Florence's daughter.
The actress's name is Hope Sherwood Juber. She was also in the finale episode The Hair Brained Scheme. She played one of Greg's classmates that he runs into at the beauty parlor.
Jenny was the friend that Marcia assumed wrote the remark about their teacher, which got Marcia in trouble at school. Because of that, Marcia uninvited her to the slumber party, but then later found out Jenny didn't do it.
I was never sure why Bobby was making so much effort to make his brother suffer! Their parents should have stepped in at the start of all this. They should have said "We will be setting down a long list of rules and guidelines as to what you can ask Greg to do or not do. And we fully reserve the right the change and or modify the guidelines as often as needed, at any time as we see fit! Thus preventing Bobby from finding some "loop hole" to weasel his way out!!! LOL!!!
Mike and Carol seemed big on letting the kids learn some of life’s lessons for themselves (such as the consequences for going in on a bet). But if this were real life I would agree with you, if it were my kids I’d draw the line at stuff like this and not allow Bobby to tag along on the date just to be a little punk. Some younger kids like the attention they get when they annoy their older siblings.
@@zebrastreet9993 I agree with what you said about Mike and Carol. I was thinking of the episode where Greg was dating this girl named Jennifer. He had to learn the hard way about how she was only using him to get picked to be head cheerleader.
@@waynemacfarland1546 She did, remember? That's the frogs episode. And yes, they do talk about this incident right before they realize the frogs are still in the backseat.
If Greg wanted to still go on dates with Rachel, he would take his sister Marcia with him if Marcia wanted to tag along. Then Marcia wouldn't be a pain in the butt like Bobby.
@@waynemacfarland1546 Unless if he took Marcia along. If he still wanted to do dates/outings/collabs with Rachel (like the drive in movie in the S3 episode "The Big Bet" or the S4 episode "Greg Gets Grounded"), he could invite Marcia if Marcia wanted to tag along.
As for the frogs in the backseat? That wasn't Bobby's or Peter's fault. Greg was in such a hurry to go get Rachel that he didn't give Bobby and Peter a chance to get their frogs. So it was Greg's fault for the frogs getting loose at the drive in.
What's ironic is that the damage to the car was caused by the ignorance of Mr. & Mrs. Brady. If they didn't make Bobby go with Greg on his date, none of that would have happened.
I just thought that it was ignorant of them to force Greg to let Bobby tag along on his date with Rachel. I don't blame them on the car's damage but I wish they could've laid some ground rules on what Bobby can or cannot tell Greg what to do.
Bobby: "It's getting stuffy in here. Put the top down." Greg (annoyed): "Put the top,...?! Now look, Bobby!" Rachel (also annoyed at Bobby): "You might as well do it, Greg." (Bobby grins upon hearing this). (Greg reluctantly puts the top down. Several cars behind honk as the top pops up and blocks their view).
Rachel's probably saying to her girlfriends at school, "If you want my advice, don't ever go out on a date with Greg Brady! He's got this annoying little brother named Bobby who likes to tag along and make a pest out of himself!"
@@morganjanelle4282 Yes, I know. She also appeared as two other characters, but this is the one she is most remembered for on the show. I even like to think that if they did another BB reunion film we would see that Greg had gotten remarried to Rachel after having met again at a high school reunion.
When I saw that episode, I was saying I was glad that I would hate be in Bobby's shoes right now. I could tell that Greg's girlfriend was getting really upset like Greg was. Bobby realized that when you win, you still lose.
@@melissacooper4282 In another episode, Greg and Rachel went to the Drive-inn and Peter and forgot their frogs in the car, from the frog jumping contest. The frogs got out of the box and one landed in the pizza and on Rachel's Head. That was funny.
If Greg really wanted to go on the date with Rachel, Marcia could've joined. That is, if Greg still wanted to take Rachel to the drive-in cinema. While he could've rescheduled it, he (if he still wanted to go) could've taken Marcia. And Bobby, he could've stayed home with his other siblings (Peter, Jan, and Cindy). Marcia would be able to come for 2 or 3 reasons. One, Rachel would've been appropriate for Greg and Marcia's age (10th, 11th, or 12th grade). That is, meaning that Greg, Marcia, and Rachel were in high school. Bobby was way too young. So he should've ended the "bet" in the first place. And two, Marcia (at the movies) would always be willing to be well behaved. Yes, like not asking for more popcorn (when she had 3 bags already) and then pizza. If I were Greg and I took Rachel out, I would let Marcia tag along (if she wanted to come). Because Marcia would be well-behaved if she tagged along. (That is, despite the fact that she and Jan bossed Greg around to drive them to the library after school.) But despite all that, this would've been appropriate for Marcia. And if I were in Greg's position, I would take Marcia along on my date and collab with Rachel. But --NOT BOBBY!
@@jacobchang8266 You do have a great point. Marcia would have been better to tag along to the Drive -inn instead of Bobby. Bobby was letting it go to his Head that he won the bet and was being a pain in the butt to Greg. Thanks 👍.
I was talking about MARCIA tagging along with GREG and RACHEL instead of BOBBY. (I wouldn't let Peter, Jan, or Cindy join instead as they were way too young anyway.) On the other hand, if Bobby wanted to join (as part of the bet), Marcia would be guarding Bobby in the back seat so he could let Greg and Rachel watch the movie at the drive in. (NOTE: In the Brady siblings, Greg and Marcia are in fact the oldest two kids. So Greg could've just invited Marcia instead if Marcia wanted to tag along with him and Rachel OR Marcia could guard Bobby in the back seat if Bobby wanted to come along.)
Too bad she didn't try for a third time. She probably felt, "No, I'm not risking a third one with him!" But I have this idea that if they ever did another sort of reunion, Greg had gotten remarried and to Rachel. They met up again at a high school reunion and stayed in touch since then and decided to stay together. Yes, Greg was married to Nora, but she could've passed away or he got divorced from her.
A, if Rachel tried for a third time and for the future Greg could let Marcia tag along if Marcia wanted to tag along. Because Bobby would always be annoying. But B, if Greg wanted find another "love interest", he instead could ask Marcia to help him when he and Marcia were still in high school. It is true though. I have a great point about Marcia helping Greg with "dates" and wanting to tag along too.
This I my favorite episode of the Brady Bunch though Bobby was very presumptious to tag along on Greg and Rachel's date. Bobby did a fine job annoying Greg.
In the "Greg and Rachel's date" scene, I would not have been surprised if Marcia tagged along (despite having nothing to do with Greg and Bobby's date). If Marcia tagged along, she would not be a threat in annoying Greg.
I have been to the drive-inn along time ago. I didn't have to take a pain in the butt brother with me however. Of course, I never had a convertible either. I felt bad for Greg and his girlfriend when I saw this episode. I grew up watching the Brady Bunch.
Well, like I just said. If Greg still wanted to keep his relationship with Rachel (until he married her) in future episodes of the "Brady Bunch original TV series" era, he (through other dates/collabs/outings) with her could have taken Marcia from then on. Now in S4's "Greg Gets Grounded", Greg was supposed to be grounded from using the car for a week. Besides driving his friend George's car, even if he asked Alice or Marcia if he could borrow their bus passes (as spoken from the "Brady Bunch Review" website), that also still would've been "walking a very fine line" even in that case. I mean, "Even in that case, borrowing Alice's bus pass still would have been considered a loophole/fourth wall". Because Mike would have meant, "No vehicles for one week" (not only using the car for a week, but also not using a bus with a bus pass to go to the stadium to buy the rock concert tickets). If Rachel could drive, Greg could have called her on the phone to pick up tickets from the stadium instead. Then Greg would not have been further grounded in the first place. That would have been the only way to get tickets instead. I mean, "Why could he not just do that instead?". But still, for the other two choices, even if Greg borrowed Alice or Marcia's bus passes or asked Carol to drive him to the stadium, it still would mean using the car. (NOTE: Rachel was the same age as Greg. So since she was in high school, she would've gotten her driver's license in car "early in development" prior to this episode. And so, if Greg called Rachel on the phone and told her to drive to the stadium to buy the tickets, I would have been 100 percent satisfied.) As for the "bus pass" subject, if I were Mike and heard from Carol that Greg used Alice or Marcia's bus pass to ride the bus to the stadium so he could pick up the tickets OR asked Marcia to drive him to the stadium, I (in Mike's position) would ground Greg for 10 days (like he was for borrowing George's car to drive to the stadium so he could buy the tickets). So I have a great point about the "bus pass" subject.
That was a different episode. They mentioned this episode in that one. Greg said, "The last time we went to a drive in, I had to take my brother Bobby." Rachel said, "How could I forget that date?" Then they both laugh right before the frogs end up on their pizza.
Yes. When I was a kid (born 1978) our family car was a 1973 Dodge Charger that looked similar to Mike Brady's car in color. My Dad practically sold the car for nothing in the 80's when it was not a collectors item. Now it and the Barracuda are worth a fortune.
0:50-0:56 (Greg returns with the pizza slice which Bobby ordered after Bobby asked for pizza.) GREG: Here is the pizza which you ordered! And that is all of the food you get! (Greg mutters about his date with Rachel.) GREG: (mutters) Our date had nothing to do with my going broke!
Rachel is probably saying to her girlfriends at school the next day, "If you want my advice, don't ever go out on a date with Greg Brady! He's got this annoying little brother named Bobby who likes to tag along and make a pest out of himself!"
That may be. But if Greg still wanted to do this date with Rachel, he would say to Peter, Jan, and Cindy, "Peter, Jan, and Cindy? Keep Bobby here so he does not boss me around!". Marcia could tag along with Greg and Rachel. After all, Marcia did not make a pest of herself.
Bobby was being a little jerk in this scene, but I think the car top being damaged was partly Greg's fault too, since he put the top up while Bobby still had the umbrella out. He should have made sure that Bobby had put it away before he put the top up.
It may be that Greg would not want to go on another date with Rachel again. That is, OR he could take Marcia with him from then on if he ever again did dates/collabs/outings with Rachel. Greg, Marcia, and Rachel were in high school at this time of the episode. So I would let just Marcia tag along if I were Greg. I wouldn't take Bobby ever again --NO WAY! But Marcia, yes.
In both episodes with Rachel, we never see Greg and Rachel kiss, notice that? All Greg does it put his arm around her shoulder. Wonder if they even kissed goodnight? Probably not.
Rachel was producer real life daughter so Greg had to behave lol. Well yeh ya never see the kids make out with there dates except for Bobby the only one.
Well, maybe Greg should have taken Marcia instead. Marcia is always well-behaved. Plus, she and Greg were both in high school. If I were Greg, and Marcia wanted to tag along, I would have no problem with that.
Thats the same western film on the billboard when Peter and Greg went double dating. Peter was dating that hot one Rachel 😍😍 as he was Phil Packer. Some rock in roller from another highschool. Lol 😂🤣
Yeah, I would've started to get pissed at the way he is treating me and my date and I would've probably ended up like Simpson and slapping him the way Simpson did to his ex-wife. The murdering part would've been next.
Back then it seemed like every movie was a Weatern on TV or theater. I guess it was not to offend any viewers with a Horror pic or something, or just something generic so they wouldn't promote a movie?
Bobby (to Rachel): "See, I told Greg if I came along, you wouldn't mind." (Rachel just glares at Bobby a little then resumes watching the movie). Me (watching this): "I think she does, Bobby."
Since Greg had to take Bobby to the drive in since it was part of their bet why didn't he just postpone the date with Rachel? If he had simply explained to her about his situation with Bobby I'm sure she would understand. Besides Bobby pointed out that he didn't care if Rachel came too or not. But I know that Greg was trying to get with Rachel during this whole episode. And the scenario wouldn't have been as funny.
@@melissacooper4282 It probably would've made no difference. Even if Greg did postpone his date with Rachel, Bobby would've wanted to tag along just the same. Knowing Bobby, he probably would've kept it up forever.
Greg could take Marcia instead of Bobby, you know. Because Marcia, she would have been well-behaved. She wouldn't be asking for more popcorn (when she already had 3 bags) then pizza. In fact, when Greg was telling Mike and Carol about it, he could've said, "OK, OK, I COULD JUST CALL OFF THE DATE OR I COULD TAKE MARCIA ALONG!".
I still think Marcia should've been there in the first place. In fact, if Greg still wanted to keep Rachel around for "other dates" until she and Rachel got married, Marcia could have tagged along. I know that because Marcia would not have been a pain in the neck like Bobby was in S3's "The Big Bet".
Omg I felt so sorry for Greg cause Bobby kept ruining his date.If I was Greg I would've told Bobby "You're getting on my last nerve and wait till I let dad know what you're doing and how you're ruining my date with Rachel!" Never take your younger siblings with you on your date night it'll just go all wrong!
Well I would stand for Marcia if I were in Greg's position. Because she was in fact appropriate for Greg and Rachel's age (despite being one year younger than Greg).
I would not have been surprised if Marcia tagged along with Greg and Rachel. Then Marcia could guard Bobby (if he wanted to come with Greg and Rachel) at the drive-in movie while Greg and Rachel were watching the movie. In fact, if Greg let Bobby tag along (on his date with Rachel), one other Brady kid (like Marcia) could tag along too. That way, she could get Bobby to stop bossing Greg around. OR...! When Greg said he would call off the date (the part where he said, "Okay, okay! I will remember! I can ALWAYS call off the date!"), Bobby could release Greg from this "betting challenge" and Marcia could tag along. (That is, in the spite of the fact that Marcia had nothing to do with Greg and Bobby's bet.) And Greg would have no problem if Marcia tagged along with him and Rachel. Marcia was in fact, not annoying Greg.
Aside from S3's "The Big Bet" and S4's "Greg Gets Grounded", if Greg (back when "The Brady Bunch" was still around) ever wanted to do dates/collabs/outings with Rachel until they were married, that is what could have happened after those 2 episodes. Greg would take Marcia from then on (if Marcia wanted to tag along). You want to know why? Because Marcia, she would have been well behaved --and not just Greg and Rachel being appropriate for her age (as they are in high school --grades 10 to 12). Greg and Rachel would've been in 10th grade, while Marcia would've been in 9th grade. But still, I have a good point about Marcia tagging along if she wanted to. Marcia would be assisting Greg. (NOTE: That is, if Greg wanted to keep doing that with Rachel in every other episode onward through S5. He would take Marcia if Marcia wanted to tag along.) And Bobby would never come --just Marcia.
