Completely Conspicuous 277: Take Me to the Pilot

Part 2 of my conversation with guest Ric Dube as we dissect a not-so-classic episode of the Brady Bunch. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from The Gories, King Khan and Mind Spiders. Show notes: - Recorded at More Lost Time world HQ - Watch the episode along with us at the CompCon YouTube channel - Season 5 of the Brady Bunch, episode aired in January 1974 - Brady Bunch producer used the show to air a pilot for a spinoff - Ken Berry was the "star" - Berry was in Disney movies, F Troop, failed pilots, later Mama's Family - Show's kind of a bummer - Brady Bunch audience must have been annoyed by lack of Bradys - Gotta love the racial platitudes - Where are the blue kids? - The mini-Warriors - Berry teaches the kids the ol' soft shoe - Snobby racist neighbor character - Groovy Greg Brady makes an appearance - Dube makes gratuitous Arkancilliopoulos reference - Pilot was never picked up - Norman Lear was doing cutting edge racial humor; this show, not so much - Bonehead of the Week Music:The Gories - On the Run King Khan - Strange Ways Mind Spiders - They Lie Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
