Values Dissonance: In The Brady Girls Get Married, middle child Jan has to wait to get married because Marcia's still single, and needs her parents' approval despite being a grown woman.
The Bradys:
Awesome Music: The first two versions of the theme song. The first one sounds classy with that 90s sax, and the second one is rocked up and catchy.
Harsher in Hindsight: In the penultimate episode, Marcia falls prey to alcohol addiction. Not Maureen McCormick or Leah Ayres though, but Susan Olsen (Cindy) would develop an alcohol problem in a few years. Just next year, she got a DUI conviction that was bargained down to reckless driving despite evidence of excessive alcohol ingestion. A second DUI conviction in 1993 resulted in a two-day prison sentence and losing her driver's license for two years with a five-year probation.
Hilarious in Hindsight: One episode had the Bradys protest their house getting torn down for a highway. The Brady Bunch Movie later Played for Laughs a similar premise, in which the family saves their house from getting torn down for a mall, to greater success among audiences.
The third version of the theme song, with poorly-written lyrics (for example, "That is how the Brady Bunch became the Bradys") and Florence Henderson trying too hard to make it sound like a powerful ballad.
Due to Maureen McCormick not reprising her role as Marcia, the beginning of the opening (showing the Bradys from 1969) uses a different girl in her place. Not only does she not look anything like McCormick, but she looked way too young; in fact, she looked even younger than Cindy. Some Brady fans, making the best out of this blunder, have written fanfiction set in this alternate universe Season One where Marcia looks totally different and barely old enough for primary school.
The final few episodes used a Laugh Track, despite the show being a melodrama. This especially backfired since one scene showing Marcia fainting is meant to be Played for Drama, but it's ruined when the laugh track plays after her daughter's line.
