I was watching a Brady Bunch documentary and they noted that in the "Brady Bunch Variety Show" Jan was missing. This was apparently due to her having some success as an actress outside of the Brady Bunch, so I've decided to see what that's all about. started off with
"Force of Evil" (1977 made for tv) - There is not much Plumb in this endeavor, but it's okay. A murderer/ rapist is freed then seeks to exact revenge on Lloyd Bridges, a doctor at the hospital where he worked who he wanted to somehow vouch for him to escape prosecution for the crime, which makes very little sense. Eve is the daughter so of course she draws the killer's attention. It's a very low grade Cape Fear rip off and Bridges talks too much. like a Sea Hunt episode that somehow ends up being a CHiPS episode.
One weird thing was when Plumb greats both her Dad and her uncle with a kiss on the lips. She must have been really bored filming this...so check it out if you're into that kind of thing but otherwise...
2.99/ 5 it's ok but not very original or creative.
also caught
The Swimmer / Hitman - this was an unusually tame Fantasy Island episode featuring Eve Plumb as a swimmer who was in a car accident and now can't swim or walk. Peter Graves is her Dad and the other half has the Charlie's angels assistant to Charlie guy and Carmine Ragu from Laverne and Shirley. She gets a lot more lines and focus in this, but it's not a classic episode. Plus, the kids she is swim training can all seem to use their legs?
not a classic episode but high Plumb factor so
Next I will be watching what seems to be her biggest one: a movie about a teenage runaway who is I guess her? We'll find out
