Stuff I watched on TV briefly

I haven't been well. I've been lying in bed a lot watching old episodes of One Day at a Time on Pluto. They've been showing later episodes after Mackenzie Philips left and Glenn Scarpelli joined the cast. I never understood Mackenzie Philips' appeal and I thought Glenn Scarpelli was great. He was funny and could pull off emotional scenes. He was everything The Brady Bunch hoped Cousin Oliver would be.

Then watched The Brady Bunch, "The Subject was Noses". Nicholas Hammond (Frederick from The Sound of Music) breaks his date with Marcia when her appearance is marred by a blow to her nose. "Something suddenly came up," he tells her, so handsome he didn't even try to sound sincere.

Directed by Jack Arnold.

I don't know how I feel about it.

As I write this, Mike and Carol Brady are dressed like Anthony and Cleopatra. Mrs Brady was going to wear earrings she entrusted to Marcia but Cindy had been monkeying with them and they are lost. Peter is wearing a deerstalker cap trying to solve the mystery but is of no help. Alice saves the day.

I don't think there's any deeper meaning.
