Does anyone wish the show had lasted a few more seasons?


It would have been cool to see who the younger siblings would have dated. The show mainly focused on Greg and Marcia's social lives. In addition, if Sam or Alice would eventually get married? Not to mention , if Cousin Oliver would eventually return to his family, or chose to stay with the Bradys. Since the kids were teens, would Carol reenter the workforce? Finally, would Mike eventually have his own architectural firm?

Only if it remained funny. Hated the 1990 Bradys show where they tried to be a drama like Eight Is Enough. But yeah the kids getting a bit older wouldn't be a reason to stop watching, especially if they had decent writers.

I watched it a few times back in the day, it was kinda dry to me. The same with the revamped "Leave It to Beaver " in the late 80's.

I thought the 1990s show was very well done. Just couldn't get the ratings. Guess I'm in the minority.

Jan was becoming quite the hottie in the end, would of liked to see more of her getting hotter and hotter

reply

Agreed. She caught up, or maybe even passed Marcia in the hotness department.

But current day Marcia still looks great; Jan and Lauren Tewes (Julie from Love Boat)....not so much :(.

There were plans to continue it, possibly without Robert Reed, because he definitely wanted out. But the network made the decision for them.
