In all my life, I never once heard of Burger Chef. Is it a place in the Midwest?

Anyway, the place looks like a dump.

Eve Plumb was trying to survive apparently LOL

She was trying to distance herself from her Brady Bunch role and I believe at the time the Variety Show started she was busy portraying a Teen Prostitute in Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway.

I think it was necessary since she was getting older and wanted to get other roles

She is a great actress and she can prove she can do more than be Jan Brady.

OH Nuts! · 07-02-2014, 10:33 AM

Hey it was work and I credit her for doing it...not a bad commercial or job by Eve either. (& BTW I thought the BB variety hour was really forced & lame..so this commercial was by no means a "step down")

Eve was the smartest of the cast members to have NOT done the Variety Hour. It is consistently voted one of the worst series of all-time.

Agreed. This commercial was a paycheck at least. I am surprised though she is portraying just an employee and not giving some kind of Eve Plumb endorsement of Burger Chef.

Here's some more post-Brady obscurities:

Maureen did this Starburst commercial:

And Susan did this Sindy doll commercial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCKn4-2Hin0

And, of course, Florence did all those Wesson Oil commercials.

Not sure if she did commercials, but Ann B. Davis appeared in print ads for some household product whose name escapes me for the moment.

Great links. One could say they are giving star credit to the products where Eve Plumb appears to be just an employee of Burger Chef.

I don't understand why people call The Brady Bunch Variety Hour one of the worst shows ever. I have to give the Brady cast credit. They really stretched themselves on that show and it seemed somewhat challenging for them. I appreciate the effort they put into it. How can anybody call TBBVH the worst show of all time? Surely it's better than the Kardashians.
