I guess part of it is, well no matter how bad my life is, it could be worse. I mean how many people have 5 sisters and brothers? And even though they had a rich gay father, a maid and a big house, they had their "problems." Granted, problems that could be solved in 1/2 hour, but still. You know, broken nose before the prom, sibling rivalry, only 1 phone in the house for 9 people. 1 car. Dog allergies.

The Bradys only get press anymore when there is a new tell-all about how Peter got his first boner looking at Eve Plum or something. For awhile people liked the reunion shows but that was mainly to see who had fucked their lives up most, who was fat, who was bald. Now we know about them all even those have stopped
Don't worry, the DVDs won't sell.

Oh Dude, you're so wrong

I'm guessing that it's probably the same phenomena that has the cultural elite scratching their heads over election results earlier this month.
ETcorrect for geographic stereotyping and to save this answer as a marco.

That website is fantastic. The album reviews are hilarious. Scary, but hilarious.

Hank. Please. This is not the PB. You must read what is written and then remember your own comments. The Bradys are on twice a day, everyday and that's just on 1 channel.

Seed of Chucky
I plan to see this as soon as possible, because it just sounds more and more hilarious. And the NYT hated it, which I take as an excellent omen.

Did I say Massachusetts? It turns out that I meant Arlington, Virginia. Recommendations for a florist in the Arlington in that other Commonwealth would be appreciated. (Feel free to PM me instead of posting here.)

2. And I like to think that PLF, being from one of the world's cereal box capitals, might be the misunderstood genius behind some of those very boxes.
