About
Jealousy is the topic du jour as Spencer takes a deep dive into the shallow Brady Bunch, a wholesome sitcom staple from the ’70s. This week, Jan realizes she sucks and Marsha is the best. Armed with this new knowledge, Jan hides and destroys all of her older sister’s medals and trophies.
As if grand theft accomplishment weren’t enough, Jan decides to become the one thing Marcia never could: leader of the local school’s pom-pom team!
The Boob Tube Boys don’t learn any moral lessons this week, but Spencer does his best to teach Brian and Van about the wood paneled, tight pant, bulb haired world of Brady!
Highlights
-Spencer presents an audio package about The Brady Bunch and its cast
-Van is confused about Carol Brady’s role in the family
-A Red Dress song concerning sisterly arguments

About
If you thought the stakes of a television episode couldn’t get lower than “I’m kind of jealous of my sister,” then you were wrong. This time around, the Brady Bunch Boys get up to no good and pull a ghostly prank on their sisters (with hair of gold). Marcia soon grows wise to the boys’ antics, and the tables are turned in spooky fashion.
The Brady prank war culminates in effort to scare Alice, the family’s live-in caretaker and possible hostage, while Alice prepares for a hot-ass date with Sam the Butcher (not Daniel Day-Lewis). There’s another plot involving Carol making a sculpture of her fluffy-headed husband, but it doesn’t really amount to anything.
Brian closes the episode by choosing another family-centered entertainment, albeit one of a different tone and vintage.
Highlights
-Engineer-level ghost prank planning
-Carol Brady’s mullet
-October 1972’s Hollywood movie lineup
