   Summary: Here's a Story...
It took me forever to breakdown and buy Season One. There always seemed to be something "better" on the horizon...

However, once I got past my own hang ups, embarrassments, and excuses and actually bought and viewed a handful of these I was quite surprised. I always knew the chemistry was spot-on perfect but what struck me most was how well the dramatic moments were handled. The pilot with Mike and Bobby, Cindy's one ticket problem in Eenie, Meenie, and even Marcia's reading of the troubled family in Dear Libby are actually quite touching. I still find it amazing to have such a large cast, yet the chemistry is so good, you would think they really knew each other as friends before the show, or that they were a real family, and I guess that's what has made this show an icon.

I also bought Season Two, actually it was a gift but I can't help but notice there were no extras, like the one's included here. After viewing them I think I know why. Firstly, the commentaries; all three are just a mixed bag. The Sherwood commentary is rather dry and much of it is repeated in the paultry "17 minute" Under One Roof extra. The highly touted "kids commentary" doesn't fare any better. Yes, you get a tidbit or two but what the whole thing really amounts to are Williams, Knight, & Olsen putting the show and themselves down (a mockumentary). It's apparent it was in good fun but it comes off more as a distraction. Had a commentary been included on Season Two I probably would have skipped it anyway.

The picture and sound seem adequate considering the age of the print and audio but I think I expected a better picture. I would give both a 3 star rating. Not terrible but not great either. The nice consolation about Paramount discs are at least they do not freeze up and pixel like Universal sets. Lastly, I can say the pricepoint is nice, the packaging is price conscious but not CHEAP.

   Summary: The first season--and full of some surprisingly solid episodes
"The Brady Bunch"'s first season, on 2 discs with Sherwood Schwartz commentary on the pilot, and Barry Williams(Greg), Susan Olsen(Cindy) and Chris Knight(Peter)commenting on 2 episodes(one of which, "Peter the Hero" is one of the best examples of teen-greed and youthful ego that any sitcom of this era ever put out). With it's huge, modern set, canny usage of primary colors, and a distinct, undated style, the show looked fabulous(even Olsen comments on how colorful the camping episode appears--she says "they used great film stock on us"). This must have sold well, Seasons 2 and 3 are already in the works.

   Summary: GREAT ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL AGES
I WAS GOING TO SKIP THE BRADY BUNCH. TIRED OF IT, AS WELL AS GILLIGANS ISLAND. THEY SHOWED THEM FOR YEARS ON TV. SINCE I DONT HAVE CABLE. IT'S DIFFERENT NOW. I GOT THE BRADY BUNCH AND I LOVE IT. BUT GILLIGANS ISLAND I PICTURE MOST FROM SEASON 2 AND 3 IN MY MIND FROM THE LIST OF EPISODES. SO I WILL SKIP THAT. BUT I AM GOING TO FINISH THE BRADY BUNCH COLLECTION. WHO EVER THOUGHT WE WOULD OWN ARE OWN TELEVESION PROGRAMS TO KEEP WITHOUT COMMERCIALS. EVEN THOUGH THE PICTURE QUALITY IS'NT PERFECT. IT'S STILL WATCHABLE AND THATS WHAT COUNTS. PLUS THE AUDIO. I HAD ONE TV BOX SET THAT THE AUDIO LASTED 1 MINITE ON ONE SIDE OF THE SPEAKER. SEASON 1 OF LAND OF THE LOST.
