George Harvey (Tom Bosley) and his wife Maggie (Marion Ross) decide to give up cigarettes. Although Maggie muddles through, George has major difficulty kicking the habit. Hilarity ensues.
Devised like a sitcom, this 30 minute American Cancer Society PSA would probably be completely forgettable if not for the freak factor of seeing "Happy Days" actors Bosley and Ross cavorting around on the sets for "The Brady Bunch" and playing parents to the Bradys' cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist) and Disney/"Salem's Lot" brat Brad Savage. A few set pieces have been slightly altered, but it's unmistakably the Brady sets, with one noteworthy addition: a toilet! As for the content, the story is what you'd expect from a 1974 comedy - it's pretty dated, corny and heavy-handed.
For anyone who's familiar with the two hit '70s shows, there's something sorta surreal about this little-known mashup, and I'd suggest seeking it out.
