I love this episode because it shows how principled Mike Brady was. He wanted his family to keep up their efforts to save the park despite the pressure from his boss to stop them from their efforts. He was even willing to lose his job. As he said, "Mr. Phillips employs me. He doesn't employ my family." Excellent example for fathers and husbands.
Yes and today, Mike would get fired, he would sue Mr. Phillips and his company and he's lose do to some corporate fine print BS and laws made to protect the wealthy and big corporations. Then, he wouldn't be able to get another job due to his age. They would have to let Alice go and Carol would have to get a job just to be able to keep the house and put food on the table!
If he was so great, why did he design a house with only three bedrooms for 8 people (Alice had her own room off the kitchen and she would have made 9). Plus the house only had ONE bathroom for all 9 people! Not even a half bath on the main floor!
I I jut noticed: @:51 seconds in, Carol is looking to her right 'talking to the girls' while she is holding the phone, yet a few seconds before the call ,the three girls on her LEFT! WHY is she talking to her right like they are on her right?!!!! BLOOPER! Kim
@@hypnos9336 probably more trouble than your comment which you could make about almost any comment on RU-vid. It’s all pointless, why make a federal case out of it?
It's probably the same room/set, to keep TV show expenses down. They just push the furniture around to make things look different. That leaves an interesting question: Why is Mr. Phillips living in the Brady house?
Well, he designed a house for NINE people with only ONE bathroom. Plus only 3 bedrooms! Well, 4 if you consider that Alice had her own room off the kitchen. So YOU tell ME if he was a capable architect?
@@retroguy9494 And when one of the kids wanted some extra space, he let them reside in the attic. What? If there attic is like mine, there's no ventilation and it's as hot as hell up there. Was he trying tp cull the herd?
@@roachtoasties Yep. In addition, the attic used to only be 3 or 4 feet tall in the episode where Greg wanted his own space when he started high school. Then, all of a sudden it became a full walk up by his senior year! My attic is the same as yours. Hot as hell in summer, freezing in winter. Although there IS a small opening at one end for ventilation and a larger one on the other end for the attic fan that's there. Plus, all the duct work for the air conditioning runs along the floor up there.
@@retroguy9494Actually, I think the master bedroom was a full primary en suite, judging from scenes involving the master bedroom, and then the shared bath for the six kids. And I think on a later Brady special, it was confirmed there was a half bath off Mike's office on the first floor.
@@MisterMikeTexas Yes, someone else pointed out to me in another comment that Mike and Carol had their own full bathroom in the master bedroom suite. Also that although never shown or mentioned that Alice must have had her own bathroom as well somewhere off the kitchen and near her room. However, I don't recall a half bath off Mike's Den. Where would it go? If you look at the location of den itself.
Mike should have quit a while ago. He has to call his boss by "Mr. Phillips" while Mr. Phillips calls him "Mike." Does Mr. Phillips thinks he's the leader of North Korea? If Mike loses his job and ends up on unemployment, we'll finally be able to figure out how he is able to support eight people and a fulltime housekeeper. Where was this extra money coming from? He wasn't a very good architect. We never did get to see any of the buildings he designed. There must not have been any. He's always at his chair holding a slide rule without doing anything else. All this time Mr. Phillips was employing him for humanitarian purposes. Maybe that explains this "Mr. Phillips" stuff.
Mr. Phillips isn't all that bad, in another episode he allowed Mike to hire his son Greg, do some odd chores around the office and go out to deliver important plans which he lost.
Given that the job paid him enough to support a stay-at-home wife, six kids, a live in housekeeper, a cool house in a nice area of LA, two new cars every year, college for all the kids, nice vacations and various other things, I guess he feels it was worth it. Even in the early 1970s, that job would have paid somewhere between 150 - 200K.
I thought he already did. When he made it illegal for store owners to require the wearing of masks inside their store during the pandemic when he reopened Florida early.
@@citizenken7069 No, the question is: In what universe does the "woke" crowd _exist?_ The whole woke-us pocus issue is made up to bring in money to aspiring political candidates. When people online are shocked with hot button words, they give money faster. It's been tracked by tech people that money skyrockets when some loser like DeSantis screams one of the evil words like "woke." That's the only reason we hear about it.
