If the phrase "Marcia Marcia Marcia!" sends you into a giddy childhood reverie, then you'd better run out and get The Brady Bunch - The Complete Third Season. Not only does this season feature that definitive episode--in which middle sister Jan fights to get out from under the shadow of her older sister Marcia--but several other all-time favorite episodes, including the one in which Peter's voice starts to change, threatening to wreck the potentially blazing career of the Brady Six musical group (presumably launched by producers feeling the heat from The Partridge Family). The show had found its tone and its creators crafted 23 perfectly calibrated visions of a domestic fantasyland, decked out in mini-skirts and bell-bottoms (check out Mrs. Brady's recurring paisley pantsuit, made of some fabric offensive to nature). Marcia turns into a diva when cast as Juliet in the school play; Greg loses a bet with Bobby and has to obey the little boy's every whim for a week; Jan has to wear glasses; Cindy yearns for a boyfriend--simple problems cheerfully solved by pithy moral lectures delivered by stern but loving parents. Despite adolescent hormones, snug pants, and the occasional ungodly short-shorts, sex never rears its complicated head. Though ratings were modest during the series' five-year run, in syndication the show became a phenomenon. As divorce became increasingly common in the 1970s, perhaps this smoothly blended and impossibly functional family had an irresistible appeal to kids from broken homes. Though the Brady siblings--played by Barry Williams, Maureen McCormack, Christopher Knight, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland, and Susan Olsen--were a charismatic sextet, it's Florence Henderson and especially Robert Reed as Carol and Mike Brady, uber-parents, who give The Brady Bunch its familial glow. But everyone was the center of one episode or another; even Ann B. Davis dominated one episode as maid Alice's lookalike cousin, a WAC Master Sergeant who imposed military discipline on these lazy suburbanites. No matter how corny the jokes or how daffy the stories, The Brady Bunch continues to cast its hypnotic spell. --Bret Fetzer

 The Brady Bunch March 31, 2008

A great DVD. My children love watching it and can't believe that I use to watch it. They think it's funny how they dress and the words they used back then. It's so much better for them to watch this than what's on TV now. I definitely recommend it.
GROOVY, HEAVY, AND OUT OF SIGHT! IT'S "THE BRADY BUNCH" SEASON 3! May 9, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"It's always Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!" "These glasses make me look absolutely goofy!" "We're having pork chops and apple sauce." There are so many memorable lines from these Season Three episodes that highlighted the series with some of the best shows. The entertaining "vacation" episodes open the season with a family trip to the Grand Canyon. By the fourth episode Greg is "wheeling and dealing" for a new car, continued by the Brady family getting chosen for a TV commercial, Jan getting glasses, and the kids begin their singing career (even though Peter's voice is changing). The scripts are fresh and entertaining, the kids have some of their best moments in this season with Jan overcoming "her sister's shadow," also meeting her Aunt Jenny which has comic appeal with the nuttiness of Emogene Coacoa. Marcia dates Greg's arch rival Warren Maloney, and Greg dates Marcia's arch rival Cathy. And the battle of the "little kids" with Bobby tired of being a "shrimpo" and a "pee-wee," and Bobby and Cindy both setting out to show "little kids can do important things too" as they attempt to set a new "teeter-totter" record. These episodes are both memorable and charming as "The Brady Bunch" continued with their "out of sight" and "groovy" family togetherness that both entertained and delighted their fans then and now. Followed by two more "super cool" seasons!

This was my third favorite season. I especially liked the two shows where they filmed in the Grand Canyon. I finally got to go to the Grand Canyon in 2004--it's as beautiful in person! TV doesn't do it justice!

In this season alot happens. The Brady kids really start the process of the stage of growing up. There are quite a few episodes about Jan. First she falls into Marcia's shadow (her sisters shadow), then she gets glasses, (the not-so-rose-clored-glasses) and then she finds her role model (Jan's Aunt Jenny). A few episodes are also based on Peter as well. First his voice starts to change (dough, re, mi), he becomes an eavsdropper, (The private ear), and then he develops a power. (Power of the press)Greg gets his drivers license. Marcia is just the same being popular.(and becomes a big pest in Juliet is the Sun) Bobby is in two episodes that he tries to prove even a small and little kid can do something. And he is also in "The Big Bet" in which he gets power from Greg. Cindy is really in only one episode where she is the main character. In "Cindy Brady, Lady" in which she gets her first date. (really a play date.)

Below are all of the episodes in season three of the brady bunch.
(Disc 1)
Ghost Town, U.S.A: The Brady's take an overnight trip in a ghost town. Just to be put in jail by an old man trying to protect his gold claim!
Grand Canyon or Bust: The Brady's are at the Grand Canyon. And they travel to the bottom, just to see Bobby and Cindy get lost!
The Brady Braves: The Brady's turn into an indian tribe. All by themselves!With all eight (plus Alice) people this shouldn't be hard!
The Wheeler Dealer: Greg grows up! He gets his drivers license and is tricked into buying a car that isn't even good enough to be in a car dump!
My sister, Benedict Arnold: Gregs archrival has asked Marcia out to the pizza parlor. Marcia doesn't think much of him but when Greg says that Marcia better not go out with him anymore she immediatly changes her mind.
The Personality Kid: Peter goes to a party and is told that he has no personality. And Peter believes the kid. He instantly tries other personalities and turns into a very bad Humphry Bogart!
(Disc 2)
Juliet is the sun: First the part is to big for Marcia, then she's too big for the part. Marcia gets the part of Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" and the power goes to her basketball sized head.
And now, a word from our sponsor: A (wierd) director sees the brady's at the supermarket and decides they'd be perfect for a tv commercial.
The private ear: Peter eavsdrops on his siblings... with a taperecorder!
Her sisters shadow: Everywhere Jan goes she hears one thing and one thing only; Marci, Marcia, Marcia
Click: Greg tries out for the football team and gets hurt.
Getting davy jones: Marcia goes coo-coo for the singing star.
(Disc 3)
The Not-so-rose-colored-glasses- Jan gets glasses
The teeter-totter caper: Tired of being told they're to little to do anything Cindy and Bobby try to break the teeter totter record of 148 hours!
Big little man: When locked in an ice house little bobby-being little saves the day.
Dough re mi: Greg writes a great song for the "Brady 6" (the kids song group) to record. When Peters voice starts to change it looks like the $150 non-returnable bucks are gone down the drain.
Jan's aunt jenny: Jan finds an old picture of her great aunt who looks just like her. She writes to her and asks for a picture of her recently. Unfortunatly she doesn't look like what Jan expected. When Aunt Jenny decides to come to town Jan isn't as excited as her Aunt Jenny or parents expected.
The big bet: Bobby and Greg make a bet to do everything the other says. Bobby winning makes the best of it and orders Greg around. It's the last straw when Bobby insists on going on Greg's date with his latest girl unfortunatly his parents let Bobby go.
(Disc 4)
The power of the press: Peter writes a column in the school newspaper and takes advantage of it when people start giving him stuff for writing nice things about them.
Sergeant Emma: Alice goes on vacation and her cousin Emma takes over for her. Unfortunatly Emma was in the army and drives the Brady's crazy through her whistle.
Cindy brady, lady: Cindy is very tired of not having a boy. Then she gets a secret admirer.
My fair Opponent: Marcia decides to help the loser in the class Molly to become a raving beauty to be the hostess to the school dance. But unfortunatly Molly goes against her when it ends up that Marcia and Molly are against each other to be the hostesses.
The Fender Benders: Carol gets into a small car accident with a Mr. Dougin. Mr. Dougin believes that the accident was Carol's fault along with Bobby and Cindy. But Carol and Marcia know it was Mr. Dougin's fault. Not knowing what is what they go to court.
