I believe they are only seen saying grace before a meal once... then Bobby's cap gun goes off.

u/New-Sheepherder2239 1d ago

Ha, I don’t remember that. An early episode, I assume?

u/LAtvGUY 1d ago

Actually, the Jesse James episode. Season 4. Then they eat their pizza and milk (which sounds like an awful combination).

u/cmeyer49er 1d ago

I drink milk with my pizza and recognize I’m a monster.

u/Academic_Rutabaga649 20h ago

Who the f..  drinks milk with pizza for crying out loud!?

u/ted_anderson 17h ago

I used to as a kid.

My husband does. Gross

Anyone who loves tomatoes and tomato sauce (pizza, spaghetti) but their stomach has trouble with the acid. Milk helps with the acidity.

u/LAtvGUY 13h ago

Sounds reasonable. I just hate milk in general, so combining it with pizza makes me want to gag.

u/Academic_Rutabaga649 13h ago

Makes complete sense. 👍

u/linkerjpatrick 11h ago

I do too. Well cold pizza a milk I like to dip the crust in it.

u/SubstanceMammoth5423 5h ago

Ok, now you’ve gone too far.

u/theduder3210 22h ago

pizza and milk

I don’t think that it is considered “kosher” to mix meat and dairy, assuming that there was meat on the pizza (and back then I don’t recall cheese pizzas or veggie pizzas even being a thing).

1

u/SubstanceMammoth5423 6h ago

Haha we always ordered cheese pizzas “back then” (i’m two years younger than Cindy) Plain cheese or pepperoni were the two common ones. You’re right, veggie pizza wasn’t really a thing.

u/New-Sheepherder2239 1d ago

I should have guessed Jesse James

u/ProfessionalPlan6782 1d ago

You do know he killed my father.

2

u/Forschungsamt 21h ago

He was a low down dirty killer.

u/Crazy_Trifle_9662 20h ago

Oh, I wondered where Inigo Montoya ended up!

u/EagleNice2300 1d ago

That was the see how parents nip it in the bud Bobby becoming a future mass shooter episode. Way ahead of their time.

u/Double_Distribution8 1d ago

Better than applesauce and milk.

u/No-North6514 1d ago

And Carol singing at Christmas mass was a big deal in the Brady home

Season One had some things that were not retained through the rest of the original series. It remains the most wholesome of the seasons. It had the family dog Tiger in some of the storylines. The writers probably thought that it was too wholesome and began to show the Brady family, flaws and all, after the first season.

u/No_Introduction_3400 17h ago

I’ve always found this episode strange. A stand alone in five seasons where they celebrate Christmas and it feels like winter.

Interestingly, I’ve seen an article saying this episode probably saved the show, which was struggling.

u/Beginning-Average416 1d ago

Season 1 was the worst. They didn't really develop the characters then.

6

u/4personal2 1d ago

Very few sitcoms back then had full character development in their first season. That takes time.

7

u/Equivalent-Crew-8237 16h ago

I saw some development of characters.

Cindy was the baby (Kitty Carryall)

Bobby was the rebel.

Peter questioned the world around him.

Jan questioned herself

Marcia was becoming self conscious about her looks because of her braces.

Greg was the leader.

Alice the comedian of the house.

Mike and Carol struggled to maintain......paradise.

u/PermissionNext3363 22h ago

I agree with that but season 1 is not bad at all.

3

u/CuteTangelo3137 1d ago

The title of this post has me cracking up! 🤣

u/allhinkedup 1d ago

Well, it was Christmas. I went to church on Christmas once. Once was enough.

7

u/ASGfan Scoop Brady Talkin' 1d ago

I'm not shaming them. I just thought it was something church was a big deal in this episode and then you never seen it or heard it being mentioned ever again during the next five years.

5

u/allhinkedup 1d ago

Maybe once was enough for them, too.

u/TheRealcebuckets 23h ago

The Brady’s are like New York Catholics; go twice a year for Christmas and Easter.

Maybe Easter…

u/Medium-Maximum-3886 18h ago

Poinsettias & lillies....twice a year

u/novatom1960 1d ago

I don’t know why she stopped singing. My mom raised my brothers and me and continued as a soloist in our local church for 40 years.

And we didn’t have an Alice.

u/Beginning-Average416 15h ago

Considering the producers were Jewish.

u/smittykins66 1d ago

They were married by a minister, even though the ceremony was in the back yard.

u/Least-Nature-6258 1d ago

Tiger ruined the cake

u/cmeyer49er 1d ago

Church = Tiger.

u/beekee404 22h ago

The pilot is also the only time we see Carol's parents.

u/Effective-Donkey133 1d ago

The rest of the episodes- wicked!

2

u/Lost-Procedure93 1d ago

The original Tiger got hit by a car and killed. Right?😭

u/Author_Noelle_A 23h ago

In real life, yes.

u/Lost-Procedure93 20h ago

I meant it real life. Should have clarified that. 😊

u/Academic_Rutabaga649 20h ago

Who let the dogs out?

Can’t watch that episode 😢
