    Mego Wizard of Oz Cameo on the Brady Bunch Variety Hour

    Nice to see the Mego Wizard of Oz figures making a cameo in this clip from the (IMO mercifully) shortlived "Brady Bunch Variety Hour." Fair warning, this clip includes the least funky rendition of "Car Wash" ever performed. (thanks to Jason Pankoke for pointing this out!)

      I was wondering why Scarecrow had a orange shirt, but then I saw Greg...er Barry Williams' costume. As far as 70s Variety show skits go, that actually wasn't bad! Johnny Bravo could actually sing pretty well.

          That's just it, I didn't realize until I just got older, just how bad even the best variety shows were. I loved them as a kid. Only powerful waves of nostalgia can get me through an entire episode today. Especially those celebrity one-offs that popped up all the time.

          Oh, I do love the "water" headdresses for the women dancing in the back!

              ^Yeah, I can't really tolerate much more than a song at the time. Nostalgia is pretty powerful for me, but the levels of cringe are just too much for me, personally.

                  The Flip Wilson Show actually holds up surprisingly well considering it's from the same era. That being said, a lot of people tend to forget how popular those programs were at that point in time and that's why there were so many of them produced in the first place. The Paul Lynde Halloween Special is a personal favorite of mine, honestly.

                      I don't think I ever saw an episode beyond the first one. We only had one television in the 70s and my parents controlled all viewing when they were home. I did get to see a lot of Sonny & Cher though, not that I wanted to.
