Its actually pretty ridiculous that Sam, as a 45-55 year old grown man, just listens to a 7 year old girl, about Alice hugging the postman. Even with Cindy's crazy tattle telling, he should have known to call again and ask another family member. Or ask Alice why she hugged the postman. So in this case, it's really on Sam.
But we need to consider that the character is a big simple lug who would probably get jealous and insecure easily. And about 48 years old at the time (the actor's age, I mean ... the character may have been around 40).
Yeah, I agree. And the part at the beginning about Cindy "tattling" on the neighbors was ridiculous too. She just happened to overhear something, and what she repeated was harmless and didn't get anyone in trouble. That's not tattling, and if another adult had said it instead of Cindy, I'm sure Mike and Carol would have had no problem with it. Just a poorly written episode.
@@crazylegskc Right, if anything she was practically gossiping. Like one of those stereotypical 1940s manicurists you see in comedy or romance movies, LOL.
@@eduardo_corrochioI thought the others were being hard on Cindy but the part with the neighbors I find understandable she did sound a little cheeky when tattling but Cindy found what she was doing was fun and even Carol suggested it was probably a phase she was going through the youngest ones way of getting attention even if we think they're being harsh I just wonder what Mike and Carol would have said to us in person if we express our opinions to them even though they're not real it's just kind of fascinating to about it
When Cindy said it's no fun to be tattled on, but it is fun for her to tattle on others, I would say, "Would it be fun to tattle on somebody if they clobbered you for it?"
I know it's a sitcom, but man that's pretty neurotic and insecure of Sam to jump to the conclusion without considering anything, or at least asking Alice why she was hugging the postman.
Alice’s hairdo is just perfect! And her dress is really keen. It would be such a disappointment to be stood up, _especially_ with the good news of winning the jingle contest, that she was waiting to share with Sam.
To be fair, Cindy DID see Alice hug the postman, so she was telling the truth in that sense, but she should've kept quiet and not told Sam about it. Funny how a little misunderstanding on Sam's part can go a long way, and in doing so, it can go the wrong way.
She was 7 years old. She wasn’t trying to tattle; Sam asked about Alice and Cindy was honest about what she saw. Expecting a 7-year-old to recognize nuances between the interactions of adults is ridiculous. Plus, Sam is a brat to stand Alice up without explanation.
@@matildareiit's also hypocritical of him to get mad at her for mistakenly cheating on him when as later revealed in a very Brady Christmas he cheated on Alice with a younger woman but then got back together with her.
I never noticed that either. You can make the case that it was a different day and Cindy was talking about another incident because Cindy was not called downstairs she went down on her own so why would the girls ask what happened downstairs
@jerrypaquette5470 If we “snitched “ on a sibling my mom asked us what the punishment should be for him or her and whatever we said we got the same punishment for being a tattletale
@@angelisa368 She was little so I would give her a pass, but she needed to learn to think before she spoke. It was a learning experience for her and Sam.
You know Cindy, when you tattle on someone. Youre not just telling on them, youre telling on yourself. And by tattling on someone, youre really just telling them "Im a tattle tale." Now, is that the tale you want to tell?
I get Cindy's tattling was out of control and she definitely deserved a lecture, but why didn't her parents just sit Cindy down and explain to her the difference between tattling and telling the truth. From what it seemed like to me Cindy just didn't understand the difference and just thought she was telling the truth. Also how come nobody calls Sam out for standing up Alice like that as opposed to simply calling her back later or going over to the Brady's and tell Alice that he called earlier and was told that she was the postman and find out what was going on, but instead he would have had her waiting all night long and for what: over a misunderstanding that he wouldn't have known anything about if she had not called HIM to find out why he hadn't picked her up yet
Because there would be no plot for the show. The thing with sitcoms is that a lot of the problems could have easily been sorted long time ago, but they stretch them out and make it over complicated or make the characters avoid the most obvious solution because one, who wants to watch a sitcom that is mirrored to viewers and their lives? It would be quite boring. And second, it is a sitcom. It’s overly dramatized and goofy and not always accurate to reality. Most of the time sitcoms are more like cartoon logic because most of what happens cannot happen in real life as it is either illegal or downright impossible. This goes for movies, cartoons etc.
@melissapas8474 Cindy completely understood the difference because Mr Brady asked her would she like it if people told on her and she said That’s no fun and she said telling on others IS fun !
@@kellymcfalls1458 Then why didn’t she just tell Carol that tiger took Alice’s letter instead of just being so afraid that it was tattling and that still doesn’t excuse Sam for just taking Cindy’s word and not simply calling Alice, telling her that he called earlier and was told that she was hugging the postman and give her a chance to explain or bring it up when he picked her for their date, instead of just standing her up like that. I’m not saying that Cindy wasn’t wrong, I’m just that it was wrong of them to just throw all of blame on Cindy when Sam (the adult in this situation) could have simply just called Alice or still at the very least picked her up & given her a chance to explain but instead he would have left her waiting for him all night long knowing full well that she was expecting him.
@@SciTrekMan Look up "rhetorical." It's okay to be autistic but just understand that about yourself and keep it in mind when you communicate with others.
Then ít's obvious yhat Alice and Sam just don't even belong together. The keywords to good relationships and marriages are comprimise, trust, and understanding. If you don't have them you have nothing. If you have nothing nice to say about the marriage or the relationship that you're in. Then you don't need to be there.
Cindy has every right to tattle as everyone else should. If you know something's happened and you don't say anything, you're only helping it happen again.
Apparently, this episode made it difficult for Susan Olsen to make friends in her real life. She was shunned by her peers because they didn't understand how to separate her acted role from who she actually was as a person, which is sad.
For some reason, I never liked this episode. I don’t know. All kids can be bratty and need to be checked, and definitely Cindy needed a talking to, but it seems like the family (except Alice and Tiger) shunned her and the parents seemed to be cool with it. I get that she had to be taught a lesson, but, I don’t know
@@ElevenElevenSaturdayI feel the same way as you do watching this episode I thought the others were being harsh with her and even though Carol told Mike she thinks Cindy's tattling was just a phase she's going through to get attention but just sat back and watched as the other kids shunned her and it seems like they basically resorted to threatening to punish her after she unintentionally causes a rift between alice and Sam. But I guess you have to see things from their point of view they did earlier at the table warn Cindy her tattling isn't right and can get other people in trouble when she tattled on Greg she claimed to her mother she didn't mean to get him in trouble but when she later did the same thing to Bobby because he refused to lend her his skate key that one seemed intentional and I think is where she went too far which led to the other kids avoiding her. And after the mishap with Sam Mike talked to her and said she has to learn when to keep quiet threatening to punish her and Carol seemed like she was ready to scold her daughter after coming back from helping Alice clear things up with Sam and even though the parents reaction to her promising not to tattle seemed cold telling her that they'll believe it when they hear it Or to never mind about tiger when she asked a simple question you probably have to understand that they're just upset her tattling went too far despite their earlier warnings and Cindy should take their scolding her with ease considering she got the other kids in trouble beforehand. But I have to admit she handled being scolded by her parents pretty well considering I've seen a lot of younger children who are as you say the baby in their families react to even the slightest punishment in a bratty or immature way.
@@ElevenElevenSaturdaywell, if nobody wants to hang out with her after getting them in trouble, that’s their business. Parents shouldn’t make their kids hang out with each other if they don’t want to. Especially if that very kid keeps tattling on them and get them into trouble. That can only teach them to be disrespectful of others boundaries. Cindy needs to learn boundaries and that there are consequences. Just as long as the parents aren’t being neglectful and actually have long talks with her, I don’t see a problem with it. Her being “just a child” isn’t an excuse. She’s old enough to know better. Even toddlers need boundaries.
The notion of "the youngest kid needing attention and getting it via snitching" aside, this script sure made Cindy a total nincompoop, having no tact or no idea what one shouldn't say/share. When did she get the partial lobotomy? Her stupid screw-up almost ruined Alice and Sam's relationship. They nearly broke up; then who would he take to the next Meatcutters' Ball? 😄

The whole point of Alice was to not make Carol an unpaid slave to seven other people. It was just a television show that needed a society to want to watch it. No one would have ever watched a TV show about a lovely lady doing housework for a husband and six kids, three not even hers, as the result of falling in love.
@@eduardo_corrochio Some slaves, American and otherwise, did get paid. Read “From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans” by John Hope Franklin for starters, or better, “John Brown’s War Against Slavery” by Robert McGlone. And love has nothing to do with it.

I agree Cindy was adorable, but it was very hard to write for her and I don’t even think the writers put much energy into this episode and not to mention not to be ridiculous but she was on the phone and I don’t even think answering that phone in the kitchen and she’s looking out you can just see straight ahead the stairwell with the Dennis you can’t see who’s at the front door so it’s not even logical lol 😅
The Shirley Temple episode was the worst...
@@DruzenjeSplit-nn2um I agree. It was VERY lame.
