Robert Reed hated doing this scene but he did tell Sherwood he'll do it and when he slipped on the floor from falling on the eggs then after mopping the floor he really did fall and this was not acting. After this take as well as the take after slipping on the eggs Ann B Davis said this to him "Well Bob do you think you can play this more realistically now?" and Robert Reed replies and laughs at it by saying "You know Ann as I fell I was thinking "I guess I deserved that."
I am blessed with a great guy I was sick last week and he actually made dinner baked ziti and it was amazing and he clean the mess as well he mom taught him how too cook just in case his wife ever gets sick
As the star of this series, Robert Reed was, imo, underused. Refreshing to see him get some concentrated camera time without one or more of the kids stealing the show. Plus he is funny here.
Just seen this episode last week - even funnier today as it was in 1970. Mike should've washed dishes first,wipe down countertops then mop the floor,always start from the top to bottom - He should let Alice help too.
Yes you should clean the dishes and wash all the counters and then mop the kitchen floor because if you want to kitchen floor first and the floor that’s what you will slip I agree with you lol
This is hilarious. He was being such a guy lol... He knew it all. Maybe in the garage he did. But appliances not so much.🤣🤣🤣🤣 My dad cooked at my house my mom did the baking. 😃😃😃😃
An electric mixer does the job fine.... if you set it to the right speed. Mike flipped it on to the highest speed which was too high. The knob has what's recommended for each speed on the dial.
If Alice crammed dishes like that into a cupboard, the way a kid crams stuff in his closet when he has to clean up his room, she would have been fired. Even the biggest slobs in the world stack their dishes neatly in a cupboard. It’s not Tupperware.
He designed the house. But his fault he put down a floor that is slippery when wet. Was that waterproof watch he puts in the bucket and still tells time. He was doing slapstick comedy in the kitchen. Probable should have cleaned the dishes first and counter then mopping the floor last of all the grease and stains. Alice came out to supervise to make sure her kitchen was not gonna be totally ruined since it was her domain.
He was an average struggling Architect! With a few Boss pleasing winning designs here and there. I like the scenes when the show Mike Brady at the “Office” talking to his Boss. And the “burning the midnight oil” scenes in his den working until 4AM in the morning, drinking Coffee one cup after another -to get that design done. He Boss must of gave him a deadline - And thinking on Home improvements - on "the things to do" list..
The best part is that Alice was Mike's maid-of-all-service before he married Carol and adopted her children. The fact that he got so big-headed is even more hypocritical for that reason. :P
Oh, no, give me that lunch! Not selling this time! No! Ouch. Huh. Robert Reed, Star Trek, The Ladd Company, and the Major Motion Picture, Paramount Pictures! Only one of them put it down! R.I.P. As soon as they were selling out of his reach, the Paramounts could not saved it. The Brady Bunch are back together again!
Carol and Mike want to teach Marcia how to have a game called tag Peter was bet he was realized that he had a game in hopes of his sheep dog named Blue.
Wasn't there a Little House on the Prairie episode where Charles thought he too could do the women's work easily.... and made a horrific mess of things?
Any 13-year-old girl in 1969 would have used the cake mixer. “I never used a mixer” when one is sitting right there on the counter is an insanely stupid line. Maybe Robert Reed was right to constantly criticize Sherwood’s writing?!
I don't think many homes had a mixer like that back then. Mine didn't. I don't think any of my friends homes' did. We had a hand mixer but not one where you'd put a bowl (regular or one made for the mixer) under it -- similar to a Kitchen Aid mixer now. (I cooked more as a 13 yo than either of my older sisters -- sometimes out of necessity). So I don't think this is a good example. Additionally, no BB fan thought there were, with maybe a few exceptions, stupid plots. The show matured as it went on, sure, but if Reed didn't like the show's premise, he shouldn't have taken the role. I'm not sure why he thought actors get to dictate to producers how the show plays out.
One of the stupidest things I've ever seen is this guy almost purposely yanking the bowls from the cabinet to make them fall on purpose. No one will be able to ever rationalize that.
