The Brady Kids: Wings

The Brady Kids: Wings
ABC
December 30, 1972
Cartoon
DVD
C+

Paul McCartney seeks the perfect post-Beatles back-up band and decides on this family of six American kids, hitting the charts with the song "Find a Rainbow."  Or the Bradys stumble upon the Wrong Brothers, who've invented the airplane decades too late.

The first season of the show averages a C+.  Yes, I'm missing four episodes, but I doubt that would make much difference.  This is definitely a series I enjoyed more as a child.  Now the humor seems really hokey, and not in a fun way.  There's some interest in hearing the songs and seeing the various contrived plots, but not enough for me to strongly recommend it.  On the other hand, I'm not rating most of the Saturday morning shows very high, so this is no worse than most.  The second season would be very short, and I'll talk about it when we get there.
