Peter Brady Hides a Bad Grade from His Parents!

[@yasminvaughn2975]

I like the way Mike talked to Peter about his grade.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Mike had such super blue, gorgeous eyes!

Do u know the actor that plays mike Brady bob reed is actually gay in real life

[@gretchennelson7056]

@@AmandaYee-yn9dk What does that have to do with commenting on what beautiful eyes he had? Nothing.

It would be great to have a Dad like that. One to speak to you and not yell at you. Even explain things also.

[@michaelschonauer7238]

I remember once brining home a D in chemistry, and I could hear my dad yelling at my mom about it.

Certainly not on television.

"And 'D' sure doesn't stand for 'dandy.'" Always like Alice to crack wise jokes just to lighten the mood a little whenever something goes wrong.

Kudos to Alice!

A d is a passing grade so there’s nothing 2 worry about

[@justina9137]

​@@AmandaYee-yn9dkBarely. Teetering between pass and fail.

[@Aramanth]

The Brady Kids always ate candy bars in *generic white wrappers!* This was back when brands weren't shown on TV shows just ads. A great episode! Thanks for posting!

[@roachtoasties]

Probably they weren't even candy bars. To keep chocolate from melting during a long day of filming, Cindy and Bobby probably got small blocks of wood in those white wrappers. Not tasty, except for termites.

[@paul16451]

They still don't show brands on TV, only movies. It's a lot harder to get a brand contract for TV episodes.

[@joewhitehead3]

Bad grades & having to answer for it from your parents are reminders of how I very much do not miss school

[@waynemacfarland1546]

It would be great to have a dad like Mike Brady. The kind that would reason with you and not holler or shout at you. Even explain things in a more calm and nonchalant manner.

[@RBS_]

(2:01) ...I'm SO loving Mike in this scene...as a Dad, he could've blown his TOP, but he (privately) talked with Peter and had faith in him to rectify & explain his failing Grade (3:06) ....look at how Mike eye's does NOT pull away from Peter (3:22)....100% *DAD* material, right there.....

[@yinyangphoenix]

Yeah. Kids shouldn't have to be terrified of their parents. That can't be right.

[@YesYou-zy7kp]

Yes, he was a convincing actor. When I watched this show as a kid in the early 70's I thought he was a great caring father. It was hard for me to believe when I read later they had to talk Reed out of quitting several times. He absolutely hated being on this show. In fact, for the sixth season they were planning on killing off his character in a construction site accident, but the show was cancelled so it never happened.

[@jackplatt2334]

"Next year's gonna be so nice, I won't have to worry about Mr. Price!" 😆

[@gretchennelson7056]

Man, those are honking big candy bars!

[@paul16451]

Back then they were actually that big. As a kid I remember selling them for $1 each to raise funds for field trips and for my little league baseball team.

[@billhosko7723]

Such an Important episode. Thank you for posting.

[@Angler_for_life]

Robert Reed was an excellent actor

[@trwent]

He was actually a classically-trained stage actor.

[@EmeraldView]

Awww Peter, it's okay, I still love you.

[@decembergal]

Bobby changed his shirt mid-sentence. It was green when he first walked in & then blue when they were talking about the candy & then back to green when they left the room. 😂😂

[@kenlompart9905]

LOL, good catch, that's hilarious. I also thought it was funny that Bobby and Cindy didn't think to move the TV somewhere else since it's a portable with a handle on top.

[@RB2331]

That’s a great notice. I’ve never noticed that before and boy you gotta love the technology. I was only a couple years old here. I grew up with the TV. The floor model, but I was happy with that cable I’ll be honest the Brady family had an amazing house, but they really didn’t have a good family room to watch television

[@EmeraldView]

🤣 Somehow I missed that. Bobby was one of the original quick change artists.

[@billybassman21]

Funny how most of us missed that. It happened a few times on this show. They likely had to reshoot that scene another day due to the film being lost or damaged or maybe they didn't like how it turned out.

[@wgcds7jyg897]

Or it could just be an error in coloring / film. Same design shirt where blue looks similar to green.

[@gretchennelson7056]

Robert Reed was SO good with the kids.

[@Rockhound6165]

Mr. Brady pretty much explained the media today.

[@gretchennelson7056]

“Can you try to,hold that feeling until my science grade comes out?”😂😂😂😂

[@provost5752]

I remember those red x marks like yesterday. Those things hurt lol

[@RB2331]

Classic show and you really gotta love the music score. The little won won ding, a ling ling ling ling so classic.

[@roachtoasties]

It was F for Fantastic when I was in school. I didn't want to brag, so I made the F's look like B's. Alice must iron Peter's jacket so well that paper gets pressed to perfection even though he jammed his science test twice into its pocket. When the jacket somehow makes it into the kitchen, Carol pulls out an unwrinkled test neatly sticking out of the pocket. Amazing. If Peter did that, he deserves an A for that scientific breakthrough.

[@RB2331]

lol I remember watching this episode obviously in syndication I was only two years old when it came out, but you’re right he stuffed it in his pocket OK and he should’ve zipped up the pocket and if it didn’t have a zip, put it in his drawer just rip it up in his pocket and then he later on that night leaves it in the kitchen to go get an apple I mean come on riders at least have her come in to clean the house or something his room geez horrible writing

[@DavidCarney-l8b]

Robert Reed was a very gentle soul. He was wise off the set too

[@tonyparra8459]

1:21 and 1:33 how did Bobby wear a different shirt from green to blue and back to green.

[@rtward9]

your like a real life scoop brady...good catch

[@billybassman21]

Likely had to reshoot the scene due to film issues or they didn't like how it turned out.

[@natvan29]

That was wrong of Carol to say that I will settle for an A minus. She should have said as long as you did your best i will be fine with whatever you get

[@StevenAsadi]

Or she may be trying to “push” him in order for him to do his best. Mike and Peter later had a talk and they both agreed that Peter didn’t do his best. Sometimes a Parent has to “Push” to get the kid to do their best

[@dfa3366]

She said that because it was in the script.

Robert Reed did a great job conveying a dad on this show. He was the true parent. I never got that sense from Florence as the mom.

[@jartober]

What? She was the best Mom. They had different roles and it was the early 70s.

[@RB2331]

She was a great mom, but remember she was the stepmom and she should’ve said as long as you did your best

[@joesullivan-y9r]

Mr. Brady needs to give fox news a good talking to.

Pete gave birth to Fox News reporting Trump

[@AnnaAmoroso-sj8kt]

❤ I love the show

[@BTURNER1961]

I remember in my day, those report cards were sent home via snail mail. I intercepted. Did you know that a 'D' can look like a 'B' if you use an old fashioned typewriter and type over that pest and put it back in the envelope? Well evidently it can't. My mother saw my 'fix' and sent for a second copy. I won't bore you with the details, but I don't recall an understanding 'Brady' parental chat as this story's climax!

[@justina9137]

I got a d on my report card and my mom grounded me for the next quarter. She was rough

[@johnkeros9109]

Being enthused & devoted to his job is worth a a bad grade here & there.

[@timothykozlowski2945]

Peter also had a problem with geometry

[@jessmccart3937]

I tore up my final report even though i graduated the English teacher tried to fail me. I met her on the street a year later i wasn't going to say anything but she wouldn't quit with aren't you going to say anything so i told her what i thought of her. It felt so good.

Carol had no business reading that paper in Peter’s jacket. Nosy.

[@johnoconnor6356]

A "D!" A big fat juicy "D!" When Carol asked Peter how he did on his Science final, and he told her that his teacher had not finished grading the tests yet, at least he was telling the truth there.

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Why wasn’t he honest with his parents about it .I understand Mike saying that it’s not essy to tell your parents about a bad grade but at least he understood

[@justina9137]

My mom found a bad grade paper I tried to hide. She knocked me into the middle of the next week.

[@GETBENT1331]

they are proud if he got a good grade and very dissappointed if he got a bad grade. parents need to support their kids no matter what happens. as a father if my kid barely passes i would say great job you passed. if he failed i would say better luck next time.

[@trwent]

What, no celebrity to set Peter on the straight and narrow? Greg got Wes Parker, Bobby got Joe Namath. Marcia got Davy Jones!! 😢

[@jorgeespasandin790]

Oh oh oh, Peter! Lies don't work! The one time I hid bad grades, I got in trouble. I forged my father's signature, crudely, and he discovered it. It was better to have said everything the first time. The scolding was harsh and the mistrust was the worst.

[@georgiasmith64]

Can you retake the test?

[@ForvoQuizlet]

Fortunately today they have done away with to-the-point grades like A through F and replaced them with nebulous-sounding weasel words.

[@EmeraldView]

A ish

[@johnleddy4137]

Atlases Peter Passed better then an F

[@alondralabute2310]

Oh it was science. I got bad grades in science because I found it so boring and I didn't really care about it. The only part I found interesting was astronomy. But what Peter and I both ought to have done was to make ourselves study so we could at least pass it. I didn't make much effort and my grades reflected that.

[@Soigne-he3cy]

Well Peter thankfully was fictional so his future ended with the show

[@stugrant01]

Peter is so dumb that he doesn't know how to leverage his journalistic powers. Mr. Price would never raise Peter's grade in gratitude for Peter's flattering article. Peter needs to find out about Mr. Price's DUI conviction, or maybe something horrible about Mr. Price's wife.

[@MaryEverling]
