SummaryEdit

Doggett Reyes and Scully investigate the death of a youth and discover a recreation of the Brady House. A lonely man with psychokinetic powers has recreated the Brady Bunch house after a life of experimentation. After reconciliation with the scientist who had cruelly experimented on him for years on end it seems that the psychokinetic, who has adopted the alias Oliver Martin (Carol Brady's Cousin Oliver from the Brady show), will no longer cause any chaos for other people.

Background InformationEdit

• The title of this episode is a reference to a popular song that the Brady children sang in an episode of The Brady Bunch when they formed a band, called "It's A Sunshine Day".

• Besides the many references to The Brady Bunch in this episode, cartoon characters Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote are also mentioned.
• Doggett's final comment - DOGGETT: Well, here's hoping the TV stays off and he learns how to love the real world. - could easily be seen as the production's comments on its fans, especially in the period since the departure of David Duchovny.
