    I enjoyed this episode during Peter's plot. It seems like something that could actually happen. I noticed the modern TV show "Glee" almost directly copies this storyline. But what I don't understand is why they have Bobby sing terribly as well as not be able to play the drums. Later, he plays the drums in their cartoon show. He also becomes apart of the Brady kids singing group. He has solos, in many of their songs like Merry Go Round and Sunshine Day. You can also hear him singing the loudest in Keep On and the Season 2 theme song as well as the others. I just thought it was a little strange that he didn't make into the glee club but Peter did...moreless
