I watched this movie last night. I was bored, but I continued to watch to see if it got better. This random guy is bombarded by total strangers telling him things about their life. If I had been that guy I would have pulled out a paperback and started reading so they would leave me alone. But, instead this guy is hanging on their every word. Then, later in the movie he uses the things he was told to butt into the business of other people. I can't believe that anyone would think this movie was interesting. Oh, if you are a Bette Davis fan you need to endure to the bitter end before you see her for a brief time. I would advise to pass up this movie and do something more interesting. Like watch paint dry for instance.

Okay the premise of this episode is Cindy is wanting to raise money to pay for a present for a school teacher. Fair enough. But let us examine this carefully. Think of the cost of the lumber that the stage was made from (not to mention the cost of the saw horse that Peter ruined). Think of the cost of the fabric for the stage curtain. Think of the cost of the costumes (well only Alice's, Mike's and Carol's would cost much, not the kids or Sam's). Think of the cost of the chair rentals (because surely the Brady's would not already have had this many folding chair). Think of the cost of the permit that Mike had to pay to hold the event. If the Brady's had taken all the money they spent on the production of a play and donated it toward this school teacher she would have had a nice present. I know I overthink things, but I can't help it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let us do a mental exercise here. Imagine, if you will that you are the head of a television show. You are the boss and can make all decisions. Now, on your show you will have two actresses. One actress is one of the most graceful and beautiful dancers in history of show business. Not, the most graceful of just the 20th Century mind you, but any century. Other dancers could rehearse and practice 18 hours a day for years on end and never come close to this lady. Then you have a second actress. This actress is a loud and brash floozy and her idea of dancing is to shake her rear end at the camera. Which person would you chose to do a dance number? Sadly, the second actress was selected for this. The superb dancer only dances for about 10 seconds (or less) and merely just holds onto her escort and never shows what she can do. Does this make sense on any level? However, I will say I liked the Stiller and Meara storyline. I have always like them. I am going to say "no spoilers" here because I did not reveal any of the actual plots. Thanks for you time, the mental exercise is concluded.
