The Brady Bunch - The Complete Second Season
$29.98
The second year of "The Brady Bunch" was filled with great guest-stars and wonderful, funny episodes. People like Marcia Wallace, Christine Baranski, Don Drysdale, and Richard Simmons all made appearances in the 1970-1971 TV season. This 24 episode boxset contains the episodes "The Slumber Caper" in which the boys wreck havok on the girls slumber party by putting itching powder in their sleeping bags. Another fun show is "The Tattletale" where Cindy repeats what she overhears in private conversations in the Brady household. Susan Olsen (the first actor hired on the series) hated this episode with a passion. "Where There's Smoke" has Greg experimenting with smoking and "Will The Real Jan Brady Please Stand Up" has Jan wearing a brunette wig to change her appearance. A fun season for the whole family, "The Brady Bunch" to this day continues to enthrall audiences with its simple stories on family and sibling rivalry. This is also the first season that the Brady kids sing the famous theme song. The first season's theme was sung by an all boy group from the sixties called The Peppermint Trolley Company.

The Brady Bunch - The Complete Final Season
$29.98
"The Brady Bunch" had their final season on network television with the last episode airing on Friday, March 8th, 1974. The scripts this year were far inferior than previous seasons and the nail in the coffin for the Bradys was when the producers decided to bring on Carol's nephew Oliver. They felt since Bobby and Cindy were older they needed to appeal to the younger demographic by having someone around 7 or 8 years of age. That attempt was asinine as Oliver added nothing to the series as he wasn't even an "official" Brady. ABC was also faced with a tough timeslot competitor when NBC programmed Norman Lear's "Sanford and Son" opposite "The Brady Bunch" which ultimately led to the Brady's cancellation. According to Barry Williams a drunken ABC executive informed all the cast members via phone the series was being yanked from the airwaves. What was also sad was that there was never an appropriate ending produced for the show. The final episode was called "The Hair Brained Scheme" where Greg washes his hair on graduation day from High School with a chemical that turns his hair orange. The most rediculous show produced, Robert Reed refused to appear in it. There are really no memorable shows from the series' final year, but the guest-stars was a who's who of Hollywood greats including Natalie Shafer, Sandra Gould, Joe Namath, Jim Backus, and Melissa Sue Anderson. In all of "The Brady Bunch" individual boxsets there are, unfortunately, no bonus features. Paramount would save the bonuses for the "Complete Series DVD" that includes the Christmas movie that aired on CBS in 1988 and a few episodes of "The Brady Kids" cartoon from the early "70's. This set features all 22 season 5 episodes.

The Brady Bunch - The Complete Third Season
$29.98
This DVD set contains all 23 season 3 episodes from 1971-1972 and this was the year the series started doing big-time location shoots. The first episode is the show's first three-parter in which the Bradys embark upon the beautiful Grand Canyon. A ghost town, Cindy and Bobby becoming lost, and the family becoming honorary members of an Indian tribe, are some of the highlights from these shows. Jim Backus, Imogene Coca, Davy Jones, and Jackie Coogan all guest star in season three. The funniest show this year is "Sergeant Emma" in which Ann B. Davis plays a dual role where Alice's identical cousin cares for the Bradys while she is away. "In Her Sister's Shadow" features Jan being upset because she is tired of always being Marcia's younger sister. The famous line from this episode is "Marica, Marcia, Marcia!". "The Private Ear" is very similar from season two's "The Tattletale" in which Peter uses a hidden tape recorder to record conversations at the Brady house. Another fabulous season of a fabulous series. These episodes can be watched over and over by a new generation of younsters. Shows like "The Brady Bunch" are missing from network TV today which explains the erosion of viewers from the big commercial networks.
