(More customer reviews)Season Five of the Brady Bunch is here and it's bittersweet for me. On one hand it's the final season and it's the one that brought us Cousin Oliver...on the other hand, there were some very good episodes during season five and as I had a huge crush on Maureen McCormick, I must say that she had really become quite a looker in this last season and one that set this 12 year-old's heart (at the time) all a flutter! Music would play a role in several episodes during season five. In the opener, Greg is spotted by a talent agent and goes off to have a solo career as the legendary "Johnny Bravo", upsetting his family.
Other notable episodes from this season include:
Mail Order Hero - guest stars Joe Namath when Bobby lies to his friends telling them that he knows the football star.
Peter and the Wolf - Greg has to get Peter to double date with him and Peter has to pretend to be older wearing a horrible looking fake mustache. It all goes awry when they run into mom & dad at the same restaurant.
Quarterback Sneak - Marcia begins dating the quarterback from a rival high school but Greg is convinced he's only dating her to steal his team's playbook.
The Cincinnati Kids - Mike takes the family to King's island to close a business deal but then loses the plans he was supposed to present to his client. A Classic episode!
The Driver's Seat - When Marcia begins her driver's training Greg makes jokes about women drivers leading to a driving contest between the two.
Welcome Aboard - Cousin Oliver comes to stay with the Brady's...BOOOO!!!!!
The Hustler - The Brady's get a pool table and Bobby turns out to be quite a good player leading to a bit of a gambling obsession.
Hair-brained Scheme - Bobby begins selling hair tonic and sells one to Greg which turns his hair orange just before graduation.
All in all, cousin Oliver aside, Season Five has some very funny episodes and some true classics among the shows fiver year run. Say what you want but this show has stood the test of time and still goes strong in re-runs over 30 years after it ended.

A widower with three sons marries a widow with three daughters. It's a sitcom family for the ages, with plenty of warmth and fuzziness (and constant fighting for the bathroom). The series debuted Sept. 26, 1969, but in many ways was a throwback to the '50s. It originally ran for five seasons on ABC, has remained popular in syndication and inspired two theatrical movies.
