In 1971, In a Brady Bunch episode called “Getting Davy Jones”, Singer Davy Jones guest stars as himself; Marcia, president of the Davy Jones fan club at school, rashly promises to get him to appear at the prom when she doesnʹt even know how to get in touch with him. Hey! Hey! Sheʹs a Brady — and the president of her local Davy Jones fan club. Marcia cockily promises to get the singer to play at the prom. She and her sibs try several subterfuges, and she finally gets her man. She even gets to peck his cheek. The unstated joke, of course, is the showʹs choice of teen idols. The Monkees had split up two years earlier, and Jones was desperately trying to jump-start a solo career. But that sense of terminal unhipness — filtered through Marciaʹs sunny personality — is precisely why we love “The Brady Bunch”, and especially “Getting Davy Jones.”
