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

Yep - definitely Peter! I don't recall being particulary smitten with any of the Brady boys at the time - but Greg so obviously thought he was a dreamboat that I found him kind of smarmy - especially when he sang that song - "clowns never laughed before, beanstalks never grew ...." LOL!

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).

Yep, me too, Amanda! I know that she was supposed to be viewed as the one with "middle child" syndrome - but I always thought she was prettier and smarter than "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" LOL!
I need to call my younger sister - she loved this show! In the early 90's there was something called "The Real Live Brady Bunch" - a touring stage show that featured re-enactments of series episodes (with adults playing all the characters - even the children) - and she went to that several times. Here's an interesting article about it:

Oh, I'm cracking up right now, MarieZ, for your reminding me of the "clowns" episode where he's serenading some girl, I think. You're right in that he was a bit "smarmy". I must be a masochist, cause I found that made him even more attractive:) The thing I didn't like about Jan was that she seemed to always be playing the martyr, especially the episode where the aunt whom she resembles (can't remember the actress's name) comes to visit. She was just a bit too weak-willed for my taste, that's all. Thanks for the giggle. Wonder if you can find the series on DVD, that would be a lovely investment.

Oh, I remember that episode! Imogene Coca played Aunt Jenny. What always cracked me up was that the usually polite and diplomatic Mike and Carol come right out and tell Aunt Jenny the reason that Jan is so upset - because Jan thinks Aunt Jenny is so freakin' ugly she's afraid she'll grow up to look like her! :laugh:
Oh, I'm sure you can get the series on DVD!

I wanted to say Imogene Coco, but then for some reason, Phyllis Diller got stuck in my mind, and was too lazy to go check it out, thanks. Neither actress is mentioned in the full cast and crew on IMDB, but then how could they have possibly mentioned everybody over 5 years? I think you're right, though, thanks. Amazon's got it for $110-$148 for complete series; little too steep for my budget, so I'll stick to reminiscing on here. ;D
