I grew up watching the Brady Bunch and have spent years watching reruns. I never grow tired of the majority of them and I am now almost 45 years old. My kids like the Hawaii episodes and especially Greg Gets Grounded and The Subject is Noses. The stories are simple, but entertaining--sometimes even laugh out loud funny. It's nice to see kids who are respectful to their parents and not into any major trouble. People say this isn't real life, but I grew up in the 70's and life was pretty simple-- even in my less than perfect family.

The best thing? Your kids can watch because the content is clean!

This season of the show is probably one of the most popular because it features most of the more memorable episodes.

Funny to see Robert Reed's hair combed to the side in the series opening credits and in the brief opening moments of the first Hawaii episode only to see it go curly from the second episode on.

Greg jumps on the band wagon and get his own curly 'fro going (Peter gets his in Season 5). Cindy is growing up and the cute little curls make way for braided pigtails....

Minor glitch on Episode 1 on Disc 3: "Love and the Older Man": The boxes that normally pop up before the final ending tag of each episode were edited out from this episode. Just as the music is starting up and the boxes are getting ready to appear the scene fades out.

The picture on some episodes could be better but this is as good as it's going to get folks.

Guess we're lucky to be getting them at all. It really could be much worse.

Best part about watching this series on DVD is that I get to see scenes from each epidose that I've never seen before due to heavy editing in syndicated runs of the show.

In my opinion, the fourth season (1972-73) of the Brady Bunch is the best and most fun of the entire series. It has the most memorable episodes and the most quotable lines. I won't bother summarizing the Hawaii episodes, as many of us are already familiar with them. Instead, I'll comment on only a handful of the episodes that stand out the best.

TODAY I AM A FRESHMAN
Marcia (Maureen McCormick) gets the jitters on her first day of high school and she tries way too hard to make a good first impression on her classmates. She then signs up for every school club available and makes a total fool of herself.

JAN, THE ONLY CHILD
Poor Jan (Eve Plumb). Every season, she has something to whine about. First, there was middle child syndrome. Then, she found herself competing with Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Now, she complains that she has no privacy living with 2 sisters and 3 brothers. So the rest of the Brady kids alienate Jan by staying far out of her way.

GOODBYE, ALICE, HELLO
Housekeeper Alice (Ann B. Davis) begins to piss off the Brady kids by inadvertently snitching on them (Marcia left the stereo on and Peter broke Mom's lamp). Convinced that she's on a mission to get them into trouble, the Brady kids give Alice the cold shoulder, and she ends up quitting.

GREG GETS GROUNDED
Bobby (Mike Lookinland) puts Greg (Barry Williams) in the hot seat by telling his parents that he almost got them into a car accident. Mike (Robert Reed) almost throws a fit and bans Greg from driving for a week. This is problematic, as Greg already has a date lined up with Rachel.

BOBBY'S HERO
Apparently, Bobby has bad taste in picking his heroes. When his principal tells his parents that he wrote a gleaming essay on Jesse James, Mike and Carol (Florence Henderson) get concerned to say the least.

THE SUBJECT WAS NOSES
Here's a favorite of mine. Marcia breaks her date with Charlie to go out with Doug, the big man on campus. Later that afternoon, she gets whacked in the face by a stray football ("Oh, my nose!"), putting her date with Doug in serious jeopardy.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS
Peter (Christopher Knight) learns a valuable lesson that, sometimes, trying too hard on the job can get you fired. He gets a job as a mechanic at Martinelli's bike shop, but when his slow pace hurts business, Mr. Martinelli has no choice but to let Peter go. Peter is too ashamed to tell his parents the bad news, but the truth eventually emerges.

ROOM AT THE TOP
Let the battle of the sexes continue! When Carol and Alice clean out the attic, both Greg and Marcia fight over who gets to move into it.

These episodes are spread over 4 DVDs, none of which have any bonus features. The picture quality varies, and the sound is in mono. Regardless, fans of the beloved TV series would be foolish to pass up on this DVD, which is a must-own for any Bradyholic.

In this season alot of things happen.
Again there is a singing and dancing episode. We find out bobby (mike lookinland) can really sing! The kids are growing up! The opening episode starts with a trip to hawaii. Marcia goes to highschool. Jan again has something to complain about, this time she wants to be an only child. Peter and Jan decide they want to be a doctor (peter) and a nurse (jan). Alice leaves but comes back (again). Bobby becomes the safety monitor (snitch monitor) and then a few episodes later chooses his hero to be Jesse James! Peter gets his first job. He also becomes a detective. Cindy goes onto TV and lets the power go to her head. Then fails on the set. Greg gets his own room.

Ages of the kids:
Greg(Barry Williams):17
Marcia(Maureen McCormick):15
Peter(Chris Knight):14
Jan(Eve Plumb):13
Bobby(Mike Lookinland):11
Cindy(Susan Olson):10
;Ciao

I bought this for my daughter for Xmas. She has the previous series and she absolutely loves this one. I think she can relate to all of them better now that Cindy and Bobby are growing up. This is such a great series for kids of all ages--I still love watching it with them.

Aww...what a great show. The Brady Bunch is finally getting the respect it so rightly deserved for so many years. Growing up in the '80's, I grew up with the Brady's. Re-runs were on every evening and I simply enjoyed every moment and memory that they provided. This 4th Season probably contains some of my favorite episodes including: The Hawaii vacation (3 episodes), The Subject Was Noses, & Today, I Am a Freshman. I just love The Brady Bunch - they made me feel happy and safe as a kid, now being older, I love being able to reminisce and savor that happiness and comfort all over again. Cheers to The Brady's!!

I liked this season and it's probably my second favorite out of all 5. but the first three are about how a tki idol 'causes bad luck'. and of course there are at least 1 flirty/immodest girls greg dates, (who else?) and immodest outfits (1970s fad) but it was a pretty good season.

These dvd's are forever timeless in respect to enjoyment they give to kids of today as they were for kids of yesterday. I ordered this season hopeing to give some relief to my kids from the presures of todays environment and they loved it, Seems I will have to order more seasons as they will want more. Sherwood Schwarts (sp) was a master!

I bought this after repeated requests and nagging by my six year old daughter. She had caught a Brady Bunch marathon on TV about a year ago, and has wanted the video ever since. She loves it, and insisted I give it 6 stars. I watched the original episodes as a kid, and never missed a week! My only regret is that I should have purchased the entire set of all seasons, as now we watch "reruns"! I plan to buy the movie, which I have seen , and which is hillarious.
