Your Favorite Brady

Most of us were kids when The Brady Bunch first aired. Which Brady boy did you have a crush on?

Personally, I was a Greg fan! :D

Peter, by a long shot ... and he's still cute now!  ;)

But David, some people's favorite Brady might have been one of the girls.  ???

Always thought Greg was the smoothest, being a straight girl myself, religiously devoted to watching every episode ever back in the 70's.  However, there's a point to be made that even though some of us are technically straight and have chosen to live our lives mostly that way, we might have had someone of the same sex as our "favorite".  I'd take Marcia any day of the week and twice on Sunday, as they say, if I were so inclined.  She was dreamy...  Greg always looked like he'd be a really good kisser, soft lips, smooth toucher, think I read somewhere that he had an affair with Florence Henderson at the time.  Kinda icky, but interesting, to think about.

Well, you both make an excellent point. But part of the reason I started this is because there has been an ongoing debate between me and some of my friends. It's a Greg vs Peter debate. I've found out that most people for some reason liked Peter more than Greg, and I never understood it, because I always found Greg to be so sexy when I was younger.

But, I really should have included the Brady girls. I just looked and I'm having some trouble finding pictures of Jan and Cindy on the Internet. I'll keep looking and if I find some, I'll start another separate poll for them! :)

I agree with you.  I specifically remember the episode when Peter was going through puberty, and his voice changed.  For some reason, that just kind of turned me against being attracted to him.  And I know it doesn't matter, but when you watch a TV show or movie, you do compare the age that you are against the age of the person you're most attracted to, don't you?  Peter was my age but he was a dweeb, Greg was older which automatically made him more attractive even if he wasn't so already, and Bobby was too young for me which would have made it kind of gross/incestuous.  This is a very interesting thread.  Who'd have ever thought I'd be discussing the Brady brothers at 8:44 at night, listening to Sarah McLachlan, and sipping Chardonnay.  Interesting.....

Sorry David, Jess and Mandy, it's definitely Peter.  ;) I think he even looks pretty good now!

I agree Katherine! Christopher Knight really does look good now. Did you watch "My Fair Brady" on VH1 last year? He was also on "The Surreal Life" a couple of years ago, and that season of SL was what launched My Fair Brady. Yeah, Chris still looks DAMN good! :)

I'm sitting here talking about the Brady Bunch with my British boyfriend sitting next to me while we watch Super Nanny on ABC! haha. :D

LOL, Jan was always my favorite.  I always found Marcia and Cindy to be somewhat irritating.  Jan always seemed like the sensible one stuck in the middle.  She also always felt like an "underdog" type of character compared to her sisters... and I often find myself rooting for underdog-types (in lots of contexts).

By the way... I used to adore the Brady Bunch (I secretly still find it fun to watch re-runs sometimes).  It's like the TV equivalent of "comfort food" for me.

Here's a little webpage about Jan that I found.

Jan was always my favorite of the girls, too. For pretty much the reasons you described.
