Season 2 (1970-71)

February 12, 1971 045 The Liberation of Marcia Brady At school, Marcia is approached by a television reporter doing a story on the women’s liberation movement. Marcia believes that women are equal to men in many respects and deserve equal treatment. Greg watches the news report and tries to rebut his sister’s comments. Marcia decides to make a point by declaring she’s joining the Frontier Scouts, to prove she is more than equal to the initiation tasks. Greg decides to get even by enlisting Peter to join her Sunflower Girls. While Peter’s attempt to sell cookies wilts under his gross embarrassment, Marcia proves she is more than well-suited to join the Frontier Scouts by passing all the tests. In the end, she decides not to join after all; she just wanted to make her point known
February 5, 1971 044 Our Son, the Man Greg tries too hard to act like an older teenager: he wants his own room and — in trying to pick up an older girl — tries acting too mature for his age at school. He gets Mike’s den as a room since the attic is too small. Greg refuses to participate in family activities such as planning the annual family camping trip. However, Greg realizes that — after the older girl isn’t interested, and realizing he isn’t happy in his new room — he decides that he still has a lot of growing up to do and: 1. moves back into his brothers’ room; and 2. goes on the camping trip.

  • Guest star: Chris Beaumont (This is his first of four appearances on the show)
  • Note: In this episode, Mike tells Carol that that the attic would be suitable for Greg only if he were two feet tall. However, in later episodes (including the entire fifth season), Greg moves into the attic and it is full-sized.
