The Brady Kids: Marlon's Birthday PartyABC
December 16, 1972
Cartoon
DVD
B-
This may well be the most WTF episode:
- Marlon receives a birthday card mailed in 30 B.C., according to the postmark
- The kids conclude that since it's in hieroglyphics, it must be from Cleopatra
- Marlon is in the habit of celebrating his birthday with Merlin, despite the difference of centuries
- Marlon and Merlin accidentally trade places and things happen in parallel, in those separate times and places
- A campaign sign for Robin Hood goes up in the kids' "metropolis"
- Marlon sends historical figures from various eras to the kids' treehouse
- The house may collapse from the weight of all these guests
- So the kids perform "Sugar Shop" (admittedly one of their best tunes)
- Merlin can't do any magic without his book, which gets passed around between the pandas and the frenemies, partly due to conveniently spilled black pepper
- Marlon and Merlin recite a magic spell in sync, returning everything to normal, except for King Arthur and a couple of his knights stuck in modern times
