EP1 Meet the Brodys Mar 15, 1996

Sally begins her job as Bobut's new nanny, to Bobut's amusement. Adam and Snizzy reanimate a dead frog. . .which then mutates and begins terrorizing the town. Bobut goes on a playdate with Doug's boss's son, and winds up using mind-control on the boss to get Doug an undeserved promotion. Doug happily accepts the promotion at first, but then the responsibility becomes too much to bear.

EP2 Bobut Conquers All Mar 22, 1996

Doug has contracted the flu. Adam tries desperately to get sick to avoid having to wrestle at school, but Doug's mutating, talking germs get everyone else in the family sick. Sally, who has become Bobut's prisoner more than his nanny, is unhappy with the way her life is going, so Bobut tries to find her true love – by using mind-control and holding a man captive.

EP3 Cookie Makes Some Dough Jul 27, 1996

Heather gets a zit, so Snizzy conjoures up some anti-zit cream. Cookie gets a job at Doug's company and becomes vice-president after one day at work. But problems arise when a efficient robot that she's brought to work is a threat to all of her co-workers jobs.

EP4 You Don't Have a Pet to Be Popular Aug 03, 1996

Sally puts Bobut on a no-pudding diet and his usual antics ensue. The family gets hyped up when Spit's pet, Varch, a Harnazian Funazz, comes to live with the family. Varch takes an instant liking to Heather, who can't stand him. To make matters worse, Heather's new boyfriend, Ethan, comes to visit, and Varch welcomes him by eating the boy. But Heather feels bad when she finds Varch asleep in her closet and throws a shoe at him – but he doesn't wake up. Heather thinks Varch is dead, but doesn't realize his breed sheds their exoskin.

EP5 Too Good to Be True Aug 10, 1996

Snizzy invents a duplicating machine that makes things nicer. When Bobut insists on acquiring a Stinky Stevie doll (""the doll that barfs on you"") that his parents won't let him have, he clones himself and the real Bobut sneaks off to the toy factory. Doug and Cookie fear that they've done something wrong to make cloned Bobut so insipidly sweet -- while the real Bobut finds himself being packed and shipped to two obnoxious rich children.

EP6 Respect Your Elders Aug 17, 1996

Two of The Elders of the Neurtron Galactic Federation, the supreme beings who rule over the destinies of the alien Brody family members, pay a visit to see how future leader Bobut is being raised. Bobut quickly becomes disillusioned with High Elder Prissy's training methods (and the heavy crown he has to wear), so it's up to Doug to prove to Sissy that Bobut is being properly educated. Meanwhile, Heather goes out of her way to impress a clique of popular girls by having Spit gross them out.

EP7 Dissected and Neglected Aug 24, 1996

Sally tries unsuccessfully to teach Bobut his ABC's. Cookie's in a conundrum when she meets Doug's boss's wife, Holly, and realizes that she once abducted Holly and dissected her brain. Doug tries to use the information to his advantage, which backfires when Holly announces she's getting a divorce. Snizzie creates a breed of mutant Yuccles, a candy that she loves. The puppet candies that call her ""Mommy"" are at first a burden, but they soon attack the school bully and finally move out and get their own TV show -- which bears a strong resemblance to ""Friends.""

EP8 A Very Brody Tweeznax Aug 31, 1996

While Doug makes plans to have a ""Brody Family Vacation,"" Sally daydreams about spending her time off having romantic dinners with a handsome exotic man. In preparation, Sally offers to have Bobut's passport photo taken by a happy clown. . .but the clown's happiness turns to despair when Bobut attacks him. Meanwhile, Spit invents a fake alien holiday as an excuse to get out of his schoolwork. But when little Bobut overhears Spit telling his siblings about it, Bobut expects a Tweeznax celebration.

Reviews

itsjustaaro_1 Yeah, the series only lasted eight episodes or so and was pretty corny for the time, but... y'know, I think if it had been given some more time to be tinkered with it probably would've been alright. Just saying.One thing's for sure, it'll be probably be forever gone. There used to be a channel with full episodes of the show but they've long since been taken down. It's unfortunate: if the show was as bad as people say it was, a bit of preservation would've been awfully nice as it's a piece of history to review, mock, have a laugh with for how goofy it really was.It was probably meant to be. Shows that never last longer than eight episodes usually wind up destroyed or recorded over.If anyone has full episodes, please contact me. I'd love to see it again.
bcgrote The premise of this show wasn't bad, but it's timing and time slot may have done it in.Alien Brady Bunch? Perhaps. The baby had funny lines that became catchphrases around my house. Alien kids from Henson's Muppet Shop, so they were quality. I would have liked to see more, and see the episodes I missed which may have given exposition on the looks of the kids...Well written, to my mind. Easy to watch, laughs abound in each episode. Is that so bad? It was supposed to be a comedy. However, most well written comedies don't survive anywhere on TV, much less basic cable. Such a shame.Nice lighthearted fare, safe for the whole family.
Greg Bulmash At 35, this is the worst sitcom I can remember seeing in my entire life. Considering some of the stinkers to hit TV, that's a heck of a distinction. The mixed puppet/human cast (some sort of bad Alf rip-off) didn't work. The characters were awful and the jokes were pitifully hackneyed. If they showed this on a TV in a prison, the convicts could sue for cruel and unusual punishment. It was that BAD.Anyone who fondly remembers this was probably 4 years old when they saw it, because anyone over that age (or over that *mental* age) would be hard pressed to stomach one episode of this.
Op_Prime I liked this show. It was kind of funny but it really was not given the chance most shows get. It was on TGIF, but quickly cancelled and later showed up on ABC's Saturday morning only to again be cancelled. The show was not unique. It had a theme played on by the Brady Bunch.
