Oldie but Goodie

This one's been around for a while but only recently came to my attention. In addition to secretly being gay, the late Robert Reed (better know as Mike Brady) was a serious actor who chafed at his gig on The Brady Bunch. On the eve of the last episode he sent a long memo on "theatre" to Sherwood Schwartz...

The most generic problem to date in “The Brady Bunch” has been this almost constant scripted inner transposition of styles. 

1. A pie-throwing sequence tacked unceremoniously onto the end of a weak script.

2. The youngest daughter in a matter of a few unexplained hours managing to look and dance like Shirley Temple. 

3. The middle boy happening to run into a look-alike in the halls of his school, with so exact a resemblance he fools his parents
