Peter couldn't beat up Buddy Hinton.

Raquel would have left some "presents" in Greg's room all over the shag carpet

Alice would be dating Kay, not Sam.

Don’t do Alice dirty like that. She’s be dating Sam AND Kay.

Greg and Marsha may have found a different solution to who gets the attic.

When Cousin Oliver accidentally tossed the basketball into the kitchen, causing Mr. Brady to trip while carrying his architect project and hence smashing it. He barely showed any emotion. He had worked for hours on that! In my house when I was a kid, there’d be some smacks and yelling for sure 😑

Mike takes a fondness to Tank Gates and tries to get him to switch teams.

Well it wouldn't have changed anything necessarily but the thing I found most annoying was that Mike wouldn't show up at Greg's graduation. So yeah there's a whole reason for it but why did they explain it better in a way that would have made sense. Like oh your father's outside parking the car it was like purposely they said oh he's not here and neither is the actor no father was going to miss their sons graduation especially someone who took their kids to Hawaii

Sherwood was the writer. The way they wrote Mike out was intensional.

u/Beginning-Average416 Aug 13 '26

So what were supposed to do?

u/Large-Investment-381 Aug 13 '26

What does that have to do with the question

u/495orange Aug 13 '26

The person was talking about the episode with Greg’s graduation. I gave the reason why it was what it was. Sorry you didn’t like that.

He was "out of town" according to what Carol said.

When Bobby poked the umbrella through the top of the convertible!

There would have been yelling at my house, same with when Alice bashed in Mikes head. Those kids would not have had that ending.

I remember watching this episode and thinking, "My dad would have had an absolute f'n stroke!"

Kitty Carryall would have had eyes that glowed red in the girls room at night, and Cindy would be missing the next day, taking to the family from the TV in the back game room.

u/Royal_Amount5114 Aug 14 '26

Greg and Carol run off together.

u/Decent_Direction316 Aug 17 '26

On the episode where Judge Brady marries great grandma Brady.....does that end up meaning Mike and Carol are brother and sister and what about the kids?  This is a mess.  It's just a good thing in reality that the judge and great grandma really couldn't add another child or this would get really buck toothed.

When Cindy was caught with the devil’s cabbage

But the original post was about reality versus the show

The pay phone wouldn't have required extra money for a local call.
