Deep Brady Bunch Thoughts

Of course I was filled with joy at the prospect of a Brady Bunch reunion at the TV Land Awards. Just some random musings as I watched what was surely a seminal moment in pop culture:

-Why does Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) style her hair as though she were Leather Tuscadero in 1983?

-Is Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) wearing a big coat to disguise how much weight she did (or didn't lose) on Celebrity Fit Club? [Spoiler Alert! Do not watch the clip through to the finale if you don't want the answer to the weight loss question.]

-But on the other hand, why does Barry Williams (Greg Brady) wear a coat on stage? Is he on his way to flash someone?

-The Norma Desmond Award: I'm calling it a tie. YOU decide!
Is it Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) for approaching his 'acceptance' speech as though he'd just won an Oscar...
OR
Barry Williams for his unspeakable glee every time the camera was on him, and who was in, like, every shot of the musical finale.

-Where oh where are you, Eve Plumb/Jan Brady???
