My voice was changing about the same time this episode aired and its one I'll never forget. This drove our music teachers nuts because nearly every week someone would walk into class with a voice an octave lower! OMG.
Here, Peter's voice is changing and just as Greg is set to record a demo record, which results in lots of quirky complications. This was well written all the way around. The eventual production of the record is interesting. And I'm sure this inspired a lot of kids around the country to assemble some teen rock bands in junior high. In reality, this episode was a bridge for the Brady Bunch kids to promote their newly formed record label, and while they didn't have hits like the Partridge Family, you have to admit they probably had a blast doing their own thing.
Those early teen years were priceless for a lot of us pioneer entertainers! Probably one of the most creative episodes of the third season, which marked a turning point in the series -- the kids were growing up fast. Compare this episode to the final season's episodes, and everyone changed, but the 70s was all captured on film.
I agree, character actor John Wheeler plays Mr. Dimsdale here, who also played a mailman in another episode. Lots of actors returned for different roles, even in bit parts, and it was fun to point them out. Steve Dunne perhaps the most memorable, playing a crooked guy who tries to steal Alice's money, then a few seasons later guest stars as the host of a tv talent show -- which this episode may have inspired.
Recommended. SEASON 3 remastered color Paramount dvd box set. Collectors Edition.
