The Brady Bunch: Career Fever

Burt Styler's last Brady story, co-written with wife Adele, is interesting for a few reasons.  For one thing, by this point in the series, the kids are just as likely to identify along age lines as they are along gender.  That is, Greg confides in Marcia about not wanting to be an architect, while Peter, who has ambitions as a doctor, confides in "his nurse" Jan when he thinks that he's got a fatal disease.  And the youngest two plan their various careers together.  Ironically, Jan would be the architect in her generation, although I don't know if she ever worked for Mike during the summer, as Greg apparently did.  Greg would be the doctor.  But I'll talk more about the "kids' " careers when I get to the '80s TV-movies.
