Robert Reed is my favorite TV dad. He shows how to be a great father/step father. Behind the scenes some of the Brady kids said he was more of a father to them than their own father.
@@mainecoon6514he didn’t have full custody of his daughter. I don’t if the ex-wife allowed him to see his daughter on a regular basis or if he saw her sporadically.
I think it was really adorable the way the kids took on the stepparent as their own. They called them mom and dad. And Cindy’s “Yes, Daddy” at 1:03 when Mr Brady was lecturing was so cute. The kids never smart mouthed them and they respect and listen to them. Ah, the good old days.
@@christschool So did the Brady kids, just not in this episode. Usually they get punished for it. Not realistic punishments like we went through but punishments none the less.
So you wouldn't call him stating to Cindy he'll believe it when he hears it after she promises to never tattle again talking down I know parents have to preserve discipline but they didn't have to get so sarcastic with her especially since as Cindy pointed out when carol was about to scold her they already had the conversation.
Robert Reed was outstanding in his role of Mike Brady. Having been a lifelong fan of the show, I say that he never made Mike a dolt, a doormat, and/or even perfect, but rather a firm, morally strong, understanding, and loving father and husband to his family. RIP Robert Reed, Florence Henderson, and Ann B. Davis.
Mike to Cindy: "You either stop your tattling or I'll take you over to Ralph Kramden's house and have him ball you out like he did his Mother in law!" "YOU! ARE A BLABBERMOUTH!"
The saddest thing about his Brady time was that he felt it was beneath him, professionally. He didn't realize that he was teaching the world how to be a great dad, while at the same time, Florence was doing the exact same thing. Between my own dad, whe died when I was 13, and Mike Brady, I learned how to be a great dad. That role was far bigger than any he'd ever play in Hollywood.
Loved this show. I had to laugh at this one clip clip though, I'm currently having issues with a few nosy neighbours (adults no less). that are in everyone else's business. They are constantly gossiping (and tattling) about other tenants... perhaps they need to be spoken to by Mike Brady LOL😂!
When someone tells you that they are going to tattle on you. Tell them, "You better make this a good one. Because that will be the last time that you do."
I think we have to remember that Cindy is only six or so this season, so it’s totally normal for her to not know what tattling is. Besides, during this lecture, neither Mike or Carol explained the difference between tattling and giving information. Remember later on when she does say that Tiger took Alice’s letter, because she was told not to tattle? She followed Mike and Carol’s words literally word for word. They didn’t fully explain to her what is and isn’t tattling here, so she gets confused.
@@joannamcpeak7531 so are you agreeing that Mike and Carol didn't do a good job in lecturing cindy sometimes I myself confuse being stern and being mean like when Carol told cindy to nevermind about their dog but somehow I knew that question would be shot down after what happened
Fun Fact Christopher Knight (Peter) doesnt appear at all in the entire episode the only Brady kids that do appear are Greg, Marcia, Jan, Bobby and Cindy.
She should have been punished for this. Growing up I was always told not to be telling news, spreading news or carrying news out of the house. I listened and it kept me from getting my butt whipped.
They were not going to spank that blonde child in the 1970s. They had started stopping the portrayal of spanking on television during that time even though it still happened.
YEAH But the Bradys were supposed to be the perfect family which means no news to take out of the house. Therefor no reason to teach cindy not to be taking news out because there is none.... then cindy saw the hug
@@laminage Cindy was going around to everyone telling them: "I've got a secret, I've got a secret." She ended up covering for Bobby and the others walked away when Cindy said there was no secret.
Technically, this was not "tattling." To tattle means to report an action that you know is wrong, but Alice's hugging the postman wasn't wrong, and Cindy didn't think that it was wrong. What Cindy did was to give too much detail without consideration of Sam's feelings, but that is not the same as "tattling."
@1godonlyone119 I disagree with you it was most definitely tattling because Cindy gave out information that was about someone else and she should have NOT said that Alice was hugging the postman just that she was busy and Cindy would give her the message!
In the BB movie, Mike tells Cindy not to tattle when she tells him Jan’s taking too long in the bathroom, but I would say Cindy was tattling at the right time then.
@@harperstacey9604 as a small child I was being molested and was told if I told my parents would be taken away from me. I was lost as to what to do. In this episode Cindy started just telling everything everyone ever did and it literally saved my life. Doing that stopped my abuser from feeling safe.

Marcia did the right thing telling Mike and Carol about Greg's smoking. She didn't want him getting in trouble but felt telling them was the right thing to do.
Once in a while the show would have a scene on the more “serious” side, like this one. Not that childhood tattling is all that serious or dire a topic, but the tone of the scene comes off as more in line with a serious drama than a sitcom. It makes me wonder what the Brady Bunch would’ve been like if the producers had steered it more toward the kind of show that Eight Is Enough was a few years later, probably more in line with what Robert Reed would have preferred. Also Marcia gave up too easily on rescuing her school paper from Tiger’s thieving jaws.
I was thinking just recently how this show would trun out If it was made today and yeah I won't lie I can't picture a show like this working today. And if it was made today at least one of the kids would be gay If not all of them heck one probably would be trans.
No, she was tattling. Grow ups call it gossiping. What usually happens when you tattle is that you wind up only providing partial information which is usually wrong which causes problems.
@@harperstacey9604 compared to other annoying little sisters such as Michelle tanner kim setori and dora winifred read she's an angel in my opinion instead of complaining or calling Mike and Carol mean she handled this surprisingly maturely.

It was more about interfering in other people's business and gossiping. Cindy was over-stepping personal boundaries and oversharing. Alice hugging the mailman cause she was excited about winning the mail-in contest was innocent, but without proper context, repeating that story with missing details to someone else almost led to a fight. Also, Cindy needed to learn discretion. Not everyone needs to nor wants to hear every detail, and it's not good to publicize other people's personal problems.
@larrygrajeda617 In Season 5, Episode 12 ("The Elopement"), Alice told Mike & Carol that she and Sam got engaged that night. (after Alice's cousin Clara's wedding that she & Sam attended.) They just hadn't decided on which 'century', lol. 😂
Not to mention him getting mad at Alice over some assumption is hypocritical since it's revealed in a very Brady Christmas he cheated on Alice with a younger woman but they work things out in the end while in this situation he only heard Alice was hugging a postman which is very little evidence she's having an affair I mean sure the point is Cindy shouldn't have told him that but Alice and him could have been hugging because they were friends.
In defense of Cindy Brady - Susan Olsen did comment that Cindy was “dumb”. I never saw it that way-. Cindy was playing dumb - in that case, she was smart!
A teacher (in either 2nd or 3rd grade) told my class that tattling is telling what someone did, even if they broke a rule, but no one became injured; adults need to know if someone is injured. Maybe too simplistic, but it's a good place to start when trying to curb tattling.
@@joeyjolley3540 To some folks it's real life. Look at The Actors/Actresses on Soap Operas UK/US. They would go out in public and fans would scream at them for their bad behavior. Also remember she would threatened to open her Big Mouth when she saw Millicent Kissing Bobby, or even snooping when reading about Marcia's Diary. If I did that I would have gotten the Belt.
@@laminage Sometimes you do have to tell on someone but you don't do what Cindy did. In season 3's episode Big Little Man when Bobby feels down because he's short Cindy says "Is it tattling when you don't want anyone to know something?" Mike replies "Yes it is." Cindy replies "Then you're just going have to learn for yourselves." Jan asks "What?" and Cindy says "That Bobby almost fell off the house." and you see Mike start to get peeved and you see Carol and Jan think "Oh my god!"
She mentioned in a commentary episode, the kids who didn't know her would give her grief about this or whatever Cindy did. But the kids who did know her would say "That's no Susan, that's Cindy,"
Mr. Brady: "It's time for a little one-sided discussion. Cindy, you've done a very bad thing with your tattling." Cindy: "Yes, Daddy." Mr. Brady: "SHUT UP!!!"
Heres a question I have was it tattling when I saw a mentally disabled girl from the care home I lived at about to go into the street? I had gone in the house an interrupted the Staff meeting to tell them Um Shes about to into the road they all got up and grabbed her wheelchair before she could do it She is unable to talk but she kept kicking and screaming yelling ow (to her it means no) she has the habit of trying to sneak away when nobodys around then another time I caught her putting toys in her mouth (she plays with toys because its all she knows how to do) Staff took the toy out and told her no thats not food at the time I wasnt trying to snitch but I was worried she might get hurt
When Carol Brady did not want Cindy to switch the subject and when she said to Cindy "Never Mind about Tiger remember what your father told you." and when Mike said to Cindy "Oh yeah, I'd like to believe that" You can tell Mike and Carol were very firm and furious with Cindy because she created a misunderstanding between Alice and Sam and not to mention the many times in this episode when Cindy was tattling on the others in this episode.
I know like when she asked me if it's tattleting if tell what someone doesn't want you to know in this is the episode where she said Bobby nearly fell off the house 😅
Well i agree with Mike . You shouldn’t tattle about other people’s business. But there is one exception. If the person is doing something unsafe. Where they could get hurt. That’s not tattling. That’s reporting. Hopefully Cindy learned her lesson: if you can handle a problem yourself, don’t be a tattletale.
@@PatriciaLLogan On Wikipedia it says that he was hit by a car on the lot soon after the show began. So he was only in a few episodes. They did replace him but the new dog was hard to handle so he was off after the second season.
Which came first- the episode where Cindy tattles on Alice for hugging the postman, or the episode where all the kids think Alice is squealing on them? One may be a revenge.
The Tattletale, the one where Cindy tattles to Sam about Alice hugging the postman was in Season 2. The episode Goodbye, Alice Hello where the kids accused her of squealing on them was in Season 4.
@@TheKippykangaroo The biggest irony is that I think it was the Turntable that was featured in an Episode where The Kids were nasty towards Alice. Robert Reed didn't want to do this Episode saying that as far as he was concerned, the Kids would never act that way towards her. Marcia had forgotten to take her Record off, and turn it off and got hollered at and Carol said she couldn't play it for Two Weeks. Instead of taking responsibility she "blamed" Alice who only told the truth.
Would everyone agree, this is Sam the butchers fault? Why would be cancel a date with his girl based on a little girl what a little kid is telling him... embarrassing..
*Small Fry's* point was that it was Sam's fault. You confirmed it by pointing out that Cindy was being truthful and honestly told of what she saw. Thus, it was Sam who took it the wrong way and punished Alice for it.
He took it wrong! What's next - ike Turner? eyes down ' dontchu smile at nobody male - STAY Down ? Sheeesh !!! If you dont respect t your goid mate's good character u dont Deservr them. !
@@musicaltheatergeek79I wonder what the conversation was Carol explained to clear things up between sam and Alice when she explained what her daughter saw or if alice was mad at cindy
@@ddl4374when Carol came back after calling sam back I wonder what went on she sounded like she was ready to scold cindy and she and Mike just crossed their arms when cindy confirmed Mike was firm I'll never understand being a parent
I actually think this is one of the most ridiculous episodes ever. Cindy asked Mike if somebody wanted to know where Mommy was, should she tell them? He laughed and said yes. Then he told her- no more tattling. But Sam asked where Alice was- and she told him. What's the difference? Shoot, in the beginning of the episode, Mike asked why the salt was unscrewed. Cindy told him why. And he got angry with her for answering his question... Such a bizarre predicament for ANYBODY!!
To be fair they probably figured she understood exactly what she was doing since when she tattled on bobby that one seemed intentional even so I thought they were being harsh like how carol sternly told Cindy to nevermind about their dog when she was just asking a question and was probably afraid that would be her punishment but I must say Cindy handled this very maturely in the next scene she could have gone to Marcia and Jan and complained about Mike and carol being mean but she didn't even though it seems like her parents had to use threatening to punish her as a last resort together to stop tattling
This is such an awful and toxic lesson to be had. This is how over the years, millions of children have been molested by supposed friends and relatives because being honest and making people accountable was frowned upon. I can't believe you would just tell your child to be silent even if they see or hear something they know is wrong.
A Similar thing happened in The Old School Sweet Valley High Books. Cara Walker told Elizabeth Wakefield that her Boyfriend at the time Jeffrey French was making out with a Fellow Classmate named Olivia. It wasn't true, what had happened was that Olivia had something stuck in her eye and Jeffrey was trying to get it out.
She got alot of "Shade" by her Classmates because they thought she was a Real Life Tattletale. If it were today, they could have played Whodini's Big Mouth.
She acknowledged that in Barry Williams Book "Growing Up Brady aka I Was A Teenage Greg". I sometimes wonder about the Little Girl who played Sally Frame on Another World in the 1970's. She was so sassy and rude, My Grandmother would say "She needs to get her butt whipped!" but she was so good at being bad. Kind of like Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson) on Little House on The Prairie.
When she told Sam that she was hugging the postman he thought 💭 she was having an affair. What Cinda saw was a misunderstanding. She was giving him a hug because she won the prize. What? Have you ever hug someone when your happy bout something?
We all tattled at some point. Yeh its hard when ya have no filter what should be said or not. Yeh this were days when parents commanded respect fr om there kids. cindy looks scared Mike gonna punish cindy well since it had to be clean for tv he could not say i am gonna whack your butt hard if i catch ya tattling again.

In season 3's episode Big Little Man when Bobby feels down because he's short Cindy says "Is it tattling when you don't want anyone to know something?" Mike replies "Yes it is." Cindy replies "Then you're just going have to learn for yourselves." Jan asks "What?" and Cindy says "That Bobby almost fell off the house." and you see Mike start to get peeved and you see Carol and Jan think "Oh my god!"
She mentioned in a commentary episode, the kids who didn't know her would give her grief about this or whatever Cindy did. But the kids who did know her would say "That's no Susan, that's Cindy,"
"Mom, did I ever tell you where dad's been sneaking off to in the night?"
Great show!
But I think we now know what happened to Tiger. A Marcia scorned....
1:55 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Funny how Mike's shirt doesn't match his pants.
Susan said she got a lot of crap at school from the kids from this episode they. Thought she was gonna tell on them
They didn't understand that Susan was not Cindy and assumed that Susan was like her character.
Where can we watch full episodes in UK? does anybody know, this show has such good vibes
0:26 - Alice said "сunt" 😘
Are we just gonna ignore the Mrs Brady "hugging the post man" comment?? 😭
Mr. Brady: "It's time for a little one-sided discussion. Cindy, you've done a very bad thing with your tattling."
Cindy: "Yes, Daddy."
Mr. Brady: "SHUT UP!!!"
Rude mr. Brady 😡
Cindy: "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!" Lmao
Actually, Maria! Marcia! Marcia! was Jan's quote.
Heres a question I have was it tattling when I saw a mentally disabled girl from the care home I lived at about to go into the street? I had gone in the house an interrupted the Staff meeting to tell them Um Shes about to into the road they all got up and grabbed her wheelchair before she could do it She is unable to talk but she kept kicking and screaming yelling ow (to her it means no) she has the habit of trying to sneak away when nobodys around then another time I caught her putting toys in her mouth (she plays with toys because its all she knows how to do) Staff took the toy out and told her no thats not food at the time I wasnt trying to snitch but I was worried she might get hurt
When Carol Brady did not want Cindy to switch the subject and when she said to Cindy "Never Mind about Tiger remember what your father told you." and when Mike said to Cindy "Oh yeah, I'd like to believe that" You can tell Mike and Carol were very firm and furious with Cindy because she created a misunderstanding between Alice and Sam and not to mention the many times in this episode when Cindy was tattling on the others in this episode.
Cindy repeats this mistake in several episodes. Tattling, snitching, not keeping secrets, she has no filter at all.
I know like when she asked me if it's tattleting if tell what someone doesn't want you to know in this is the episode where she said Bobby nearly fell off the house 😅
So a normal female....
This is age-restricted?! Why?
I love this episode too!
Well i agree with Mike . You shouldn’t tattle about other people’s business. But there is one exception. If the person is doing something unsafe. Where they could get hurt. That’s not tattling. That’s reporting. Hopefully Cindy learned her lesson: if you can handle a problem yourself, don’t be a tattletale.
Alice got busted, she’d been getting it from the postman for years, Sam the butcher couldn’t get the job done. End of story.
Do theyy have any of these shows FULL (Full episodes)?
Yes on Amazon Prime.
You said these were full episodes. No full episodes here. Clickbait.
0:24 what did she win ? and should she be saying that word in front of Cindy ?
CLASSIC what word
Yeah, what word?
I LOVE BRADY BUNCH 💜❤️♥️❤️💜♥️❤️💜
No doubt. Robert Reed - crazy handsome
So that's where Tiger went--SIBERIA!!!
At least his Brady career lasted longer than Fluffy the cat!
I heard that he was hit by a car, and they did not want to replace him.
@@PatriciaLLogan On Wikipedia it says that he was hit by a car on the lot soon after the show began. So he was only in a few episodes. They did replace him but the new dog was hard to handle so he was off after the second season.
@@nassauguy48 I the the grandparents took Fluffy because Tiger chased her!
Which came first- the episode where Cindy tattles on Alice for hugging the postman, or the episode where all the kids think Alice is squealing on them? One may be a revenge.
The Tattletale, the one where Cindy tattles to Sam about Alice hugging the postman was in Season 2. The episode Goodbye, Alice Hello where the kids accused her of squealing on them was in Season 4.
I don't know how Cindy could've known not to tell Sam Alice was hugging the mailman.
Her character wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
what did Alice win again????
I just picked up on that seeing it for the first time, she definitely sounds like she is saying a certain word.
a turn table she puts it in the family room (the record player by the sofa you may see from time to time.)
@@TheKippykangaroo The biggest irony is that I think it was the Turntable that was featured in an Episode where The Kids were nasty towards Alice. Robert Reed didn't want to do this Episode saying that as far as he was concerned, the Kids would never act that way towards her. Marcia had forgotten to take her Record off, and turn it off and got hollered at and Carol said she couldn't play it for Two Weeks. Instead of taking responsibility she "blamed" Alice who only told the truth.
@@laminage
you're right that did happen and if I were Alice I would have told Marcia "stay in your place little girl"
"stay in your place"
hot dogs
It was Jan's fault no matter what happened. Cindy and Marsha should get a present.
Kids tattle they can’t force them to stop, It’s natural for kids to tattle. You just can’t keep guilt inside it’s not healthy
I love the Brady bunch
+Virgi Andrade Everyone does!
Poor Tiger! He got ran over by a laundry truck & died. 😢
Would everyone agree, this is Sam the butchers fault? Why would be cancel a date with his girl based on a little girl what a little kid is telling him... embarrassing..
Sam don't play no shit!!!
Besides, Cindy was telling the truth. Alice WAS hugging the postman. What's your point?
*Small Fry's* point was that it was Sam's fault. You confirmed it by pointing out that Cindy was being truthful and honestly told of what she saw. Thus, it was Sam who took it the wrong way and punished Alice for it.
He took it wrong! What's next - ike Turner? eyes down ' dontchu smile at nobody male - STAY Down ? Sheeesh !!! If you dont respect t your goid mate's good character u dont Deservr them. !
@@musicaltheatergeek79I wonder what the conversation was Carol explained to clear things up between sam and Alice when she explained what her daughter saw or if alice was mad at cindy
@@ddl4374when Carol came back after calling sam back I wonder what went on she sounded like she was ready to scold cindy and she and Mike just crossed their arms when cindy confirmed Mike was firm I'll never understand being a parent
Cindy told him
I actually think this is one of the most ridiculous episodes ever. Cindy asked Mike if somebody wanted to know where Mommy was, should she tell them? He laughed and said yes. Then he told her- no more tattling. But Sam asked where Alice was- and she told him. What's the difference? Shoot, in the beginning of the episode, Mike asked why the salt was unscrewed. Cindy told him why. And he got angry with her for answering his question... Such a bizarre predicament for ANYBODY!!
To be fair they probably figured she understood exactly what she was doing since when she tattled on bobby that one seemed intentional even so I thought they were being harsh like how carol sternly told Cindy to nevermind about their dog when she was just asking a question and was probably afraid that would be her punishment but I must say Cindy handled this very maturely in the next scene she could have gone to Marcia and Jan and complained about Mike and carol being mean but she didn't even though it seems like her parents had to use threatening to punish her as a last resort together to stop tattling
When I got to this video, it said it may be inappropriate and asked if I wished to proceed. I wonder why? This video seems quite safe.
Not sure why the Brady Bunch is a rated show on youtube or is it elsewhere too?
My Dad used to threaten to box me up and ship me off. It's not funny to a 3 year old.
Cindy was really gossiping over tattling but still she shouldn’t be doing that either
Something similar happened in the movie!
+Streatham Soprano Yes this was spoofed in the 1995 Brady Bunch Movie.
The Brady kids were good kids but they did make mistakes.
I used to work with a group of adults who tattled on others...they were immature and crazy
..
Barney Sam Hefner, believing a second-grader! 😂😂 Now he's at Archie Bunker's Place on his 9th cocktail! 🍸🍹
This is such an awful and toxic lesson to be had. This is how over the years, millions of children have been molested by supposed friends and relatives because being honest and making people accountable was frowned upon. I can't believe you would just tell your child to be silent even if they see or hear something they know is wrong.
Well, for big things, yea. But did you tattle on EVERY little thing when you were a kid? I doubt if you had any friends when you were a kid.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this. Not a good message for kids.
🤦🏽♀️
This was the last show that Tiger was on.
I probably bet that Mike actually shipped Tiger off to Siberia like he threatened! 😂
The Brady Bunch is great show.
I will agree to that. I really enjoy it!
A Similar thing happened in The Old School Sweet Valley High Books. Cara Walker told Elizabeth Wakefield that her Boyfriend at the time Jeffrey French was making out with a Fellow Classmate named Olivia. It wasn't true, what had happened was that Olivia had something stuck in her eye and Jeffrey was trying to get it out.
She got alot of "Shade" by her Classmates because they thought she was a Real Life Tattletale. If it were today, they could have played Whodini's Big Mouth.
So for being honest she gets in trouble because the guys jealous. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Bad parenting
0:05 really ? Kiss goodnight ?
Susan Olson said she hated this episode.
+RM Wilson Why?
+7beers Because people thought she was that for real.
+RM Wilson Yes thats right her friends didnt know what is fiction or reality and thought that Susan was a tattletale in real life.
She acknowledged that in Barry Williams Book "Growing Up Brady aka I Was A Teenage Greg". I sometimes wonder about the Little Girl who played Sally Frame on Another World in the 1970's. She was so sassy and rude, My Grandmother would say "She needs to get her butt whipped!" but she was so good at being bad. Kind of like Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson) on Little House on The Prairie.
Because she hated playing scenes where she had to act less mature than she though she was in real life.
I think the rest of the family were being too hard on cindy in this episode
When she told Sam that she was hugging the postman he thought 💭 she was having an affair. What Cinda saw was a misunderstanding. She was giving him a hug because she won the prize. What? Have you ever hug someone when your happy bout something?
Flip Wilson!!!!! LMAO!!!!!
????
Since when is telling the truth tatteling?
We all tattled at some point. Yeh its hard when ya have no filter what should be said or not. Yeh this were days when parents commanded respect fr om there kids. cindy looks scared Mike gonna punish cindy well since it had to be clean for tv he could not say i am gonna whack your butt hard if i catch ya tattling again. Cindy his stepdaughter in well the real word might have stood up and have said your not my real daddy and you can not tell me what to do. Gonna running to mommy saying lies lol. Still love the show yeh some of stuff i hear my own parents say.
