Was the Brady Bunch premise forgotten?

The only way I can tolerate The Brady Bunch is, as with The Wizard of Oz, *, Gilligan’s Island, and Bill Flanigan’s Spy Magazine article on My Three Sons (“My Disappearing Sons”) in which he sketches out the murderous regin of Fred MacMurray, is to speculate on the underlying darkness and depravity behind these shows. Every happy family has a mad great-aunt (or a few) locked in the attic, and the more perfect they appear, the more they have to hide.

That’s my theory, anyway. And remind me to tell you about June Cleaver and the vaccuming she was aways doing…

At least it wasn’t a handheld Hoover! :eek:
I had never heard the Professor/Carol linkage, but it’s plausible to my mind.

And just what was in that pipe that Fred was smoking? And how gay was Uncle Charlie? Inquiring minds want to know.
