Here's the breakdown:
Nik at Nite does their own version of Pop Ups for the Unreal a thons, generic stuff like:
How convenient
Wacky misunderstanding
Sitcom Comeuppance
All right. This they have done for ALL their Un Real A Thon programs. And I agree these are repetitive. Whether its Andy Griffith Show, Brady Bunch or Diff'rent Strokes its been the same kind of Pop Ups.
However This Past Saturday Night at 10:00 EST-11:00 EST there was a special Pop Up Brady Session & this one was definitely different. The 2 Eps were:
Johnny Bravo ep
Marsha Marsha Marsha
So my ? is were the Unreal a Thon Pop Ups & this Saturday's Pop Ups done by Nik at Nite? I'm not sure but it seemed to me that the Saturday programs (1 hour) were a VH 1/MTV kind of thing as opposed to the UnReal a Thon Pop Ups which pertain to the Marathon. Hope this helps.
The Saturday Pop Up Brady's really cracked me up. Here were just a few of the more funnier ones:
1: In the scene on the patio in "Johnny Bravo ep" where Mr & Mrs B were gardening Greg goes out to tell them he won't be going to college & is taking up singing. He says he has an appointment w/his agent & the Brady's show displeasure. Here's the Pop Ups (I'm paraphrasing but you'll get the idea):
< Pop Ups >
< Studies show that 8 out of 10 women can tell what their husbands are thinking (ESP) >
<Pop Up over Mike's head> I wish Greg wouldn't go through with it
THE FUNNY PART is tied in here:
Carol: Mike I know what you're thinking! Etc etc.
2: In the Marsha Marsha Marsha ep Jan is adding up her essay score in her room & discovers the error, namely her score was too high. Okay. The kids come in & congratulate her BUT Jan's conscience gets to her. Watch this:
<Pop Up> Schizophrenia is manifested in the form of people hearing voices in their head! Cracked me up!!! Then the classic scene:
Jan everybody thinks you won (Jan talks to her "inner voice")
<Pop Up> It is suggested that schizophrenics talk to their inner voices by psychologists.
Jan: Well everyone would be disappointed. (Talks to the "inner voice" again)
Crazy I'm telling you! Here's some more:
Stock footage: ROTFL (The auditorium)
The teacher is speaking into the mike:
< The mike is off! >
< This actor played a teacher in this episode >
< and this ep >
< and this ep >
< and this ep > Meanwhile shots of the actor in other eps are shown. Vintage Pop Up Video style DIFFERENT FROM NIK AT NITE INDEED! It looked a lot better. I stopped looking at the Nik at Nite pop ups after the 1st few eps.
A shot of Robert Reed at the Hollywood Bowl was even shown. Guess what it pertained to? That's right the dancing of the Brady's. Amen &
Awesome Baby! The Saturday Pop Up Brady
