The Brady Kids: It's All Greek to Me

The Brady Kids: It's All Greek to Me
ABC

Cartoon
DVD
B-

This second Brady script by Marc Richards ("Tape" was the earlier one) is helped by the presence of Wonder Woman, as was an earlier episode by Superman.  Along with the brawn vs. brain debate, that's why this was one of the episodes I most remembered.  Jan being set up as "the smart one" had already been established on previous episodes, I suppose because she wears glasses.  (The main show wouldn't oversimplify like that.)  Too bad "No Hurry" is one of the kids' weakest numbers.  And, yes, there are a ton of anachronisms here, but then the fact that the kids have traveled to Ancient Greece via Marlon's magic throws reality out the window in itself.
