Sorry to be a blog hog but I saw the Brady Bunch on TV last night

and was laughing at how unrealistic that show is.

If anything, I think that show contributed to the notion that stepfamilies have to be one big, happy family. That stepkids and stepparents are supposed to adore each other and vice versa.

Haha Blum 3 I laugh at that show but don't remember any episodes of the other two bio parents being around or even alive... Did they run off together or what.. :? Jan was my favorite but I always felt bad for Alice.

I believe Mike Brady was widowed but I don't recall anyone every explaining what happened to Carol's husband.

Maybe Mike offed him and no one talks about it.

Brady's are fabulous! I would LOVE to see a Brady Bunch remake where everyone is totally dysfunctional & the boys hate Carol because she can't ever replace their deceased mother. Causing Carol to go insane because Mike keeps defending the boys acting out so he has an affair with Alice.

There was a script floating around of the Brady Movie (with Shelley Long and Gary Cole as Carol and Mike), that was very dark and dysfunctional. Too bad that one wasn't made instead.

Shaman, a must see for sure.
Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes & one of the Olson's could play the daughters that treat Mike like step manure. I'd drag DH to watch that.

Instead of an Olson twin, make it Brittany Spears and I'll be dragging DH right along with you. }:)

Now that's a perfect Cindy. Think Britney still has that school girl uniform from 'Baby One More Time' video. She'll just needs to have her seamstress let it out a bit.

Now now....maybe we all just need to have more backyard sack races!! }:)

And yeah, I would totally go to see " A Dysfunctional Brady Reunion!" BM isn't really dead and comes crawling back from the meth lab!

LOL Yes those games! Was anyone else creeped out by Marcia & Greg playing together?

Funny huh? I saw the new Bachlorette the other night and when the guy and his little toddler son stepped out of the limo I seriously YELLED at the tv "RUN GIRL!!! He may be cute but he's little and there's a BM and at least another 15 yrs of child support! RUN YOU DESERVE BETTER!"

From what I've seen of the previews for future shows, this guy seems like an ass and I don't think he'll last too very long.

Pretty bitter of me isn't it?

I think it is realistic. I didn't see it but that poor girl has no idea what she's getting into.

Yeah I don't think she ends up with the single dad (Thank God) but my first thought after having gone through what stepdevil has put me through for the past 2 yrs was "Girl, you are only 25, you're gorgeous and sweet, GO FOR A GUY WITH NO BAGGAGE"
