The Cast Of The Brady Bunch Performing A 70s Pop Rendition Of Toot Toot Tootsie, On The Brady Variety

The cast of The Brady Bunch performing a 70s pop rendition of “Toot Toot Tootsie”, on the Brady Variety Hour in 1977.

i have yet to watch all nine episodes of the variety hour--they're difficult to find! however, i've seen most of the performances, and this is one of my favorites!

can we talk about marty’s sleeping scenes, he’s still in his clothes, in the weirdest position, face first into the pillow, lights on, no blanket,,, he’s so chaotic

World's Most Ridiculous Sleeper.

For real, though, chaotic is probably the best way to describe it. (Actually, chaotic is a good way to describe Marty in general)

And listen, there are excuses you can make for him. Like, that first sleeping scene was Like That because he was supposed to be waiting to meet up with Doc, so falling asleep wasn't his intention—hence the lights on and no blankets and such. And then at the end of the movie, you can certainly pose the explanation that he was drop dead tired, physically and emotionally, from all the time travel and stress and Doc being dead and not dead. He climbed into his window and passed out.

But you know what? I think even a typical night wouldn't look too much different from the scenes we see, simply because of Marty's established character traits. He has no sense of time or time management. He's overwhelmed easily. Prone to distraction and sort of always running at 100 mph. Dave even says, "What, did you sleep in your clothes again?"

The executive functioning skills are absolutely Not There for our boy, and I can't see him really being able to dedicate mental space toward a normal sleep routine even on a good night. He's all go, go, go! then abruptly hits a wall of exhaustion and just. Goes to sleep. I mean, I think he'd probably at least turn out the lights, but it isn't a necessity for him. Maybe a blanket if it's particularly cold, but otherwise, who cares? And the thought of having to change his clothes just to sleep for a few hours and then have to change them AGAIN? Bogus.

So, yeah, that's just how he is. Although, I do think it's not as bad in the Lone Pine timeline, simply because George and Lorraine would probably be more on top of making sure he's practicing decent sleep hygiene. I can see them checking in to remind him to turn out his light or telling him that jeans are not for sleeping or going into his room to put a blanket over him. But sometimes he still falls back into the chaos because, ya know...Marty.

Thanks for the ask!

FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF 1986, dir. John Hughes

I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:

you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.

a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!
