In 1882, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow died of peritonitis. The aged writer had been working on translating the poetry of Michelangelo. Chances are, he never envisioned his work being read on a television show about a large family of step-siblings. Likewise, the cast of The Brady Bunch likely never figured they'd get to recite 19th-century American poetry as part of their gig. Yet in the Season Four episode "The Show Must Go On??" Greg and Mike are participating in a talent show at the high school. Mike reads, while Greg plucks a guitar. Both are dresses in tuxedos. It's a classy moment. Until the rubber chicken and feathers fall from the rafters. Betcha Longfellow never had stage props in mind when he penned "The Day Is Done."
