Viewing Thoughts: I'm watching A Very Brady Christmas. May god save me. The Brady's are really the last people anyone would want to spend Christmas with, especially considering I think they were trying to go somewhat dramatic on this one. First things first, I hate that the Brady house got updated in this one. The fun of the Brady Bunch was how cheesy it was. This is more hokey than cheesy. First off, the entire family looks older and you just know that they're all in it for the check. Then, Alice shows up, no longer a maid, and she is cuckold and Sam the Butcher's been letting someone else tenderize his beef (Hey, this is better than what they say. There is a reference to "seasoning rump roast.") At the beginning of the special, Ma and Pa Brady are planning opposing cruises then they decide to just fly the entire Brady Clan out to their one toilet house. Yeah, this will be happy! The grown up kids also bring their kids and stuff and I got to say, I have never seen better arguments for putting your kids up for adoption. They're all brats or dullards. As for the spouses, well, we get so much bitching. Oh, We're splitting up! Oh, I got fired! Oh, I need to see my great aunt! Seriously, you'd think one of the Brady's would have been gay. I would have loved to have seen Cindy show up with her butch girlfriend but I digress.
Anyway, there's some sub-plot where Papa Brady has some land or something weird and it's all kind of stupid until it almost ends in a Brady Death but then everyone gets saved by Christmas singing. Yeah, that's kind of just stupid. I kind of wanted an episode of the Brady Bunch where things end unhappy. Oh well, that's life I guess.
Noted Commercials: They have on an Egg Nog commercial where they advertised flavored egg nog. No matter what, I think it probably still sucks. Oh well, at least you can get drunk off it. I wonder if there are other kinds of nog other than egg nog. Must look into that. Ragardless, it has people enjoying egg nog and that is a first for me. They must be getting paid incredibly well.
Late Christmas Ideas: Something tastier than egg nog. Anything has to be better than egg nog... except a McDonald's egg nog shake. Eww.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: Just had my dinner. It was very tasty though I don't think I'm gong to pick up Bob Evens dressing any more. It was kind of terrible.
