Something suddenly came up

[Thornton Melon 544]

When Greg got hurt in football and his mother made him quit the team and become the team photographer. He's taking a picture of his cheerleader girlfriend, and happens to get a shot of the last play of the game, a teammate catching what should have been a touchdown, but was ruled out of bounds. He goes home and blows up the picture and proves that the WR had one foot in bounds, but it was too late to do anything about it anyway. I have 4 gripes about this:

 

1. What the hell is he doing taking photos of a cheerleader when his team is driving for the winning TD??

 

2. What the hell is a single cheerleader doing near the end zone? Where were the rest of them???

 

3. In the background, there's open field for miles. No stadium, no fence, no houses, buildings, etc.

 

4. There was not a defensive back in sight. The guy was THAT open???

 

Totally ruined the show for me.

Don't forget that the picture Greg takes is like from a long ways away, and it is to small to see what happened, so the dad says "Let's blow it up", so they do. They zoom in about 2000x, and low and behold....the picture is just as clear as the original, with no distortion!

Towards the end of the series when all the male Brady's got perms. I know it was the 70s and all, but WTF?

[brinett9 0]

The addition of a new wacky sidekick character is a dead giveaway, especially if it's a child.

 

I'm gonna go circa Oliver, maybe the end of the season before Oliver.

[Woble Eth 11]

You fit the suit man.. Yeah, Grooovy.

 

JOHNNY BRAVO!!!!

 

I was crushed when I saw Greg compromise his music and alienate the rest of the kids. Let's face it, Bobby and Cindy were key to long term success.

 

 

God that last year of episodes were sooo bad. Yet we watched, and watched.

 

Yup, Marcia got hotter and hotter.

[phillybear 364]

It probably jumped the shark when the butcher dude broke into the Brady house, and killed everyone in their sleep with a few whacks to the head with a cleaver. He ended up grinding them all into hamburger.

 

The series had nowhere else to go after a cliffhanger like that. I mean, I spent many nights wondering, did he put cheese on those burgers or not.

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

When Cindy got too big for her britches after she was selected by her school to go on T.V.

 

She treated everyone like cr@p and thought she was all that until the cameras came on and her stage fright set in and she stared like this at the camera for the entire show, unable to answer a single question.
