The short-lived series "Day by Day" had a whole episode about the Bradys. The son dreams he's part of the Brady Bunch, and several of the original actors (including a very pregnant Maureen McCormick) appeared in their original roles.
A pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis Dreyfuss plays a cheerleader who asks over and over in a lovesick voice, "Where's Greg?" Peter and Bobby explain that they never ride their bikes: "We just fix 'em." Mike and Carol do nothing but drink coffee. The dream opens with Carol saying, "There's nothing like that first cup of coffee in the morning to get you going." She keeps saying this and towards the end, "There's nothing like that 56th cup of coffee in the morning to get you going."
By the way, the actor (Christopher Daniel Barnes) who plays the son went on to play Greg in the Brady Bunch movies.
I also remember an episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati." The owner of the radio station was a rich older headstrong woman. She cuts off a meeting with her staff who came to talk to her by declaring, "Now if you'll excuse me, 'The Brady Bunch' is on."
