  • 1970S American Family Life on Television Shifting Gender Dynamics in the Sitcoms the Brady Bunch and That ‘70S Show
    1970s American Family Life On Television Shifting Gender Dynamics in the Sitcoms The Brady Bunch and That ‘70s Show By Tom Hegeman 4053079 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Frank Mehring Second Reader: Dr. László Munteán Department of English Language and Culture August 15, 2015 Hegeman4053079/2 Abstract The main purpose of this research is to answer the question of how the American family life changed in the 1970s. The subsequent step will be to see how these changes were shown in The Brady Bunch, a sitcom from the ‘70s, and in That ‘70s Show, a sitcom from the late ‘90s. In the 1970s the economy endured a severe downfall, set into motion by the oil embargo of 1973. The family also changed through the women’s liberation movement, persuading more and more women to join the labor market, making them able to provide for themselves. With the power to provide for themselves, women are more prone to divorce their husbands and take the children with them. Fathers lose their position as the breadwinner and hereby a bit of their authority. Children spend longer periods at home, mostly discovering who they are and developing themselves. These changes are almost invisible in The Brady Bunch which portrays a picture-perfect family without any real troubles. These changes permeate That ‘70s Show as they represent nearly every aspect of the decade through satire and parody. Keywords: Brady Bunch, That ‘70s Show, Family life, Feminism, 1970s, Sitcom.

  • List of the Brady Bunch Episodes 1 List of the Brady Bunch Episodes
    List of The Brady Bunch episodes 1 List of The Brady Bunch episodes The Brady Bunch is a situation comedy created by Sherwood Schwartz, who also created Gilligan's Island.[1] The Brady Bunch follows Mike Brady (Robert Reed), a widowed architect with sons Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight) and Bobby (Mike Lookinland). Mike marries Carol Martin (née Tyler) (Florence Henderson), whose daughters from her previous marriage are Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb) and Cindy (Susan Olsen). The wife and daughters take the Brady surname, and they all move in together into Mike's home in suburban Los Angeles, California.[1] The cast is rounded out by Mike's live-in housekeeper Alice (Ann B. The Brady Bunch opening grid, season one Davis), and the boys' dog Tiger. The series was produced by Paramount Television in association with Redwood Productions, and premiered on ABC on September 28, 1969. The series ran for five seasons, with all 117 episodes originally airing on Fridays. The series ran in the 8 p.m. time slot, with the exception of season 2, which aired at 7:30 p.m.[1] [2] The show also featured a number of sports and TV stars of that era, such as Davy Jones, Desi Arnaz Jr, Vincent Price, Joe Namath and Deacon Jones. Throughout its original run The Brady Bunch received mostly negative reviews and never broke the Nielsen ratings top ten.[2] Even with negative reviews, The Brady Bunch managed to maintain within the Nielsen top thirty. Ratings, however, began to dip, and in order to boost the ratings of its much-needed younger audience, Schwartz introduced a new character: the Bradys' cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist) late in the fifth season.

    Time to change—The Bradys’ Chris Knight, 60, turns ‘swinging senior’ in new role villagerpublishing.com/time-to-change-the-bradys-chris-knight-60-turns-swinging-senior-in-new-role/ November 15, 2017 1/4 Here’s the story: Top row, Maureen McCormick, Florence Henderson, Barry Williams and Christopher Knight. Bottom row, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland, Robert Reed and Cindy Olson. Maybe it was just a matter of decades before The Brady Bunch would create something just as risqué as that sitcom was clean- scrubbed. “If you think about the show itself, it was already in ’69 a fish out of water,” said Christopher Knight, the 60-year-old actor who once played pubescent Peter on the iconic family comedy. “It was already a show whose time had come and gone. Hell, I missed being drafted by two years. We were in the middle of fricking Vietnam.” Lloyd Schwartz, who helped create the series with his father Sherwood, was always an older- brother figure to Knight who would help coach the young actor through some of the show’s more demanding dialogue—like the time middle-brother Peter tried to create a more engaging personality by impersonating screen legend Humphrey Bogart. In that episode, Peter famously announces the family’s dinner menu with a Bogart-esque “pork chops and applesauce,” a line that has lived in infamy in Brady Bunch lore. “I don’t know what we’ve learned about humanity, but something about that moment clicked with all kinds of people,” Knight said with a laugh. “But as a result, I’m asked to say ‘pork chops and applesauce’ for the rest of my life.
