Okay...I guess I should make my final pick. Too many great sitcoms that haven't been picked. I should probably pick The Mary Tyler Moore Show, or The Honeymooners, or Everybody Loves Raymond, but instead I'll go with another of my old favourites that I can't believe hasn't been chosen.


Marcia, Marcia, Marcia

For my final pick in the Television draft, Frozen TV Dinner is pleased to select the cheesy, family favourite, in the Sitcom Category: The Brady Bunch.


No big write up, it's The Brady Bunch. It debuted in 1969 on ABC, and lasted for 117 episodes over 5 seasons.

If you want the back story, watch this:

Like many popular sitcoms, The Brady Bunch had multiple spin-offs. Unlike most sitcoms, the spin-offs didn't feature minor character from the original series being given a new series of their own (like the Jeffersons was spun off from All in the Family, or The Facts of Life was spun off from Diff'rent Strokes). The Brady spin-offs were continuations of the Brady family tale featuring many of the show's original cast.

The first spin-off was 1977's The Brady Bunch Hour, which was a variety show hosted by the Bradys (in character) on ABC. It lasted 9 episodes. Next, came the TV movie, The Brady Girls Get Married, in which the family reunites for Marcia and Jan's group wedding (it was the only spin-off to feature the full original cast). This led to The Brady Brides, a sitcom focusing on Marcia and Jan's married lives. It lasted 10 episodes (on NBC). Next came the TV movie, A Very Brady Christmas, where the whole family (now with grandchildren for Mike and Carol) gets together for a big family Christmas. This led to The Bradys, an attempt to turn the Brady family into an hour long drama. It lasted 6 episodes (on CBS).

Needless to say, the spin-offs were all crap, but they did give the Bradys the distinction of being the only tv family to have regular series on each of the big three US broadcast networks.







Thanks to GirlySports and all the other GMs for putting on another great CP Draft.
