In season 4 episode 5 of The Brady Bunch, titled "Cyrano de Brady," the famous play by Edmond Rostand becomes the inspiration for Greg Brady's love life. Greg has a crush on a girl named Rachel but is too shy to ask her out. Meanwhile, Marcia has the same problem with her crush, Warren. That's when Peter comes up with a plan to help both of his siblings. Peter suggests that Greg and Marcia both write letters to their crushes, but they don't sign their own names. Instead, they sign the letters with the name "George Glass" - a made-up person. Peter thinks that this way, Rachel and Warren won't know that it's actually Greg and Marcia who wrote the letters.
However, things don't go according to plan. After Rachel receives a letter from "George Glass," she becomes interested in him and decides that she wants to meet him in person. When Greg realizes this, he panics and tries to find someone to impersonate "George Glass" so that Rachel won't find out that he wrote the letter. He finds an actor who agrees to pretend to be "George Glass" and go on a date with Rachel. Meanwhile, Marcia faces a similar problem when Warren also becomes interested in "George Glass" and wants to meet him in person.
The rest of the episode follows the comical hijinks that ensue as Greg and Marcia try to navigate their love lives with the help of the fictitious "George Glass." There are plenty of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and close calls along the way. In the end, everything works out as it usually does in The Brady Bunch. Greg and Rachel end up together, as do Marcia and Warren, and everyone learns a valuable lesson about honesty and communication.
Overall, "Cyrano de Brady" is a classic episode of The Brady Bunch that showcases the show's trademark family-friendly humor and heartwarming messages. It's a lighthearted romp that will have viewers of all ages laughing out loud and rooting for the Brady kids to find love and happiness.
