I know the animation you're likely to see on ANY regular network TV Saturday spot is apt to be pretty low quality, especially back in the 70's when this aired... but even Filmation (animation/production group) did better work than THIS back then... Anyone ever notice that that they recycled the animated band movements from "The Archies" for the kid's musical pieces (Like there were really a lot of them... maybe the same two or three repeated every other episode of this animated series...), and if you even took a closer look...the "dog" character was just the old "Hotdog" character (also from the Archies) recolored...I'm surprised the whole animated sitcom lasted the time it did!

This show had pretty good merit if you accept it as a kid's show. It was the guest appearance of characters that you couldn't even imagine seeing on the live "Brady Bunch" show. What chance would you think that The Brady Kids would meet up with Superman, Lone Ranger & Tonto, Wonder Woman, Clint Flint, Charlie Chan, and so many others! I guess the appearance of these characters were used in the same fashion as "The New Scooby-Doo Movies".The magical bird called "Merlin" was cute! He was always during spells and winds up causing disasters. I always wish that they could have used the Kids from the Partridge Family to make a guest appearance on this show, because they are so comparable!

When I think of this show, I wonder how this ever got on the air. You have the Brady kids sans their parents Mike and Carol and their housekeeper Alice. Replacing them are a big dog named Moptop, a magical talking mynah bird named Marlin and a pair of annoying pandas named Ping and Pong. Also, this show allowed the kids to display their musical talents, which were marginal at best. Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams had semi-successful singing careers, but with the awful bubblegum pop tunes they were handed on this show you wonder how they were able to get their singing careers off the ground.

I remember one episode of that show, in which Superman/Clark Kent made a special appearence in that episode. If you don't believe in superheroes, this will make you believe!
