Duke Vs Brady

Duke Vs Brady The Rerun Debate As children my sister and I debated over a lot of things. Some of them were pettier than others. One of the things we disagreed on was what show to watch after school ended and mom and dad were not home from work yet. At times the “debates” became so fierce that our parents considered let us “fight it out” in the backyard and turn the survivor into the local orphanage for a handful of magic beans. (or something like that) My sister insisted on viewing the Brady Bunch. I preferred to enjoy The Dukes of Hazzard. While both of these two often referred TV shows have a lot in common but alas they are at the same time complete opposites. If you have ever read my BlogSpot you’ll discover I am a movie critic. I have critiqued over 1,000 movie reviews and been writing almost since these two shows were on TV. So I will branch out in this BlogSpot entry and attempt to end the longest debate known to man, or at least to my sister and I. What they had in common • They both were about “Family Values” • Both were remade into movies • Both shows had titular characters • Both had legendary cars driven • Both are used in metaphors Aka: A Brady Bunch Rerun A Dukes of Hazzard car chase. How they were Different • The Dukes of Hazzard was one hour long. • The Brady Bunch 30 minutes. • The Dukes Ran Seven (7) seasons • The Brady Bunch Five (5) seasons What Shows We Agreed on… For there were two shows that we argued on it is kind of fittig that there were THREE Show we watched together during this time of early sibling rivalry. Those three shows were Charlie’s Angels, M.A.S.H., and C.H.I.P.’s. While one of them might seem like a girly show and the other more aimed at boys since Police officers and car accidents were the main spoil of the show. Perhaps the most promising is the one that was about war. While war is NEVER a good thing it is perhaps a GREAT topic for a TV show. This particular gem not only lasted longer than the actual war, there were more episodes in the half hour comedy than days in the war itself. The other hour long “cop” drama seemed “girly” at best. The three protagonists and lead character were female. They kicked but and took names and left chaos in their path. The cast kept changing it seems and arguably the most popular “Angel” only stayed on for the first season. She married another TV show leading man and thus became Mrs. Millon Dollar or The Fall Gal.
