The Brady Bunch was a top rated show in it's day.  Doesn't mean it's any better or worse than something that comes on today. 

Pretty much all television shows have an expiration date, especially crime shows and dramas.  Some of my favorite shows when I was a kid are kind of laughable to me now....The A Team, The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard......all great shows in their day but if you watch them now you can't help but laugh at how simplistic the writing is or how inconsistant story lines are or the fact that there was little to no carry over from one episode to the next.  I can still watch those shows and enjoy them because I grew up with them, but if I had my kids watch them they'd probably think it was dumb. 

The same will go for The Wire, The Sopranos, yada yada yada in 20 years.  You'll still think it's awesome but younger generations simply won't get it. 

BTW....The Brady Bunch at the time was a pretty controversial show at the time.  It dealt with 2nd marriage and step children and was also the first show to put a husband and wife in the same bed.   Before that, married couples were always shown sleeping in separate beds.  It's laughable to us now, but at the time it was a pretty big deal in this country.

i believe dick van dyke was the first one to show a married couple in a bed...though it might have the been the first to either say pregnant or show a pregnant lady or something like that.

either way, this country is super lame.

also the wire will never be out dated. ever. ever. ever. ever. its impossible and i refuse to believe it. from now until the end of time someone who doesnt like the wire = awful human being.

The Dukes of Hazard was never great in its day.  Nor the A Team, nor Brady Bunch, etc.  You were a stupid kid, end of story.

Turns out we're both wrong....although The Brady Bunch tends to be the show that gets the credit for it, but it was actually a show called Mary Kay and Johnny, a domestic sitcom that was 15 minutes long and ran for 3 years from 1947-1950.  So basically, no one saw it because not everyone had a television.

I see you conveniently left out your thoughts on The Incredible Hulk.  Smart move as Lou Ferrigno scours the internets on a daily basis looking for people who bad mouth The Hulk.

Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore were never shown in the same bed. She was never pregnant, they had a son named Ritchie.
Hawaii 5-0 was a good show for it's time. Times change, you will always be stupid.

Yeah....why not?  When a jew contradicts your tv knowledge, it's only natural that you doubt yourself.  So I looked it up.  I don't mind that I ended up being wrong.  But Punky Jewster is supposed to know everything about tv and he was even more wrong than I was.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I DVR'd that "No Ordinary Family" shtein because Chiklis is usually good and Julie Benz is delicious.  But it is actually watchable?

[Zanshin]

I just saw Hawaii Five-O. Amazingly cookie-cutter and boring, as previously noted. Won't be going back.
