doyleSometimes I just have to ask: what the shit?
Brady Bunch Variety Hour? That Simpsons episode was actually parodying a real thing? It's... just... what? Why?Is it on DVD?
ETA: The Brady Kids intro. "Our sisters are all quite pretty." Uh...

on 2006-04-09 03:29 pm (UTC)Not just the Brady Bunch. It was also a parody on shows like Laugh-In (the big round sign with Marge and Homer's picture), Carol Burnett (special guest star Tim Conway) and the Smothers Brothers. Also, the Brady Bunch Variety Hour was sort of a parody in and of itself. It was inspired by real-family variety shows like Donny and Marie; and the song they sing at the beginning is from "A Chorus Line," which was a smash hit musical at the time.
I love legitimate theatre. *g*
