If you ever wondered what a stripmall looked like in 1973 the opening seconds shows us. Also I never realized when I was a kid that Greg making up the dumb story about Carol still doesn’t explain away his ski hat.
haha i just commented about that. His story doesn't explain why he was wearing the ski hat. That was what was "weird" about his behavior...not him being there. LOL
@@BMeister22 See! Pussycat Alice has a legacy here on RU-vid! The ski hat was worn by Greg.....to keep it warm for Carol as she was having her wig shampooed! "Who'd ever think that underneath it, that poor woman is completely bald!" .... it might have been a botched pot cookie batch.
I have to agree with Robert Reed, this episode was just a bit too silly. However Reed directed the 'Get the Goat' episode which I thought was abnormal. Kinda reminds me of an old 'I Love Lucy' when she accidentally gets her head caught in a loving cup trophy, very silly but I guess that's what the audience likes.
I love the goat episode. He also directed the episodes How To Succeed In Business when Peter has a failed job at the bike repair store, Big Little Man when Bobby feels ashamed about being short but it did have an advantage to it. Bobby helped save Greg's life and The Winner when Bobby is doing what it takes to win a trophy and he did a great job directing them
So Greg says that his mother's bald? I don't see where that fits into any of this. I'm starting to see Robert Reed's point of view of the plot being stupid.
funny she says that at 2:16 "Could you tell that Mrs. Brady was wearing a wig" in the shows first season from 1969-1970 Florence Henderson did wear a wig.
The girl in the pink top is Florence Henderson's real-life daughter. The girl in the green top is Sherwood Schwartz's real-life daughter. Sherwood's daughter was so beautiful back then, she still is now, too. She's happily married and has 2 kids.
Florence's daughter Barbara was in season 2's episode The Slumber Caper as Ruthie, Season 4's episode Not Everybody Can Be George Washington as Benedict Arnold's wife Peggy while Peter played Benedict Arnold and of course this episode. Sherwood's daughter Hope was also in season 2's episode The Slumber Caper as Marcia's friend who Marcia suspects squealed on her for writing the epithet "Mrs. Denton or a hippopotamus?" and Marcia uninvited but at the end of the episode she's re invited and she is the girl who enters the home after Mike has a bucket of flower dumped on his head that was meant for her, season 3's episode The Big Bet and season 4's episode Greg Gets Grounded as Greg's girlfriend Rachael and of course this episode as Gretchen
lol these answers. It's because the script was written by adults. And in mid-century America, there was a certain formal dialogue that was "appropriate" for TV. TV dialogues *gradually* started to get more natural with very few shows in the 70s (All in the Family, which was groundbreaking), more so in the 80s, and especially the 90s.
I think this was the last episode. I know they wrote out Mike Brady because he was being difficult. They didnt kick him off the set because they didnt want to upset the kids. Gretchen was also Marsha's friend that she uninvited to her sleep overparty.
Greg's hair was orange from that nasty "Neat and Natural" hair tonic Bobby gave him earlier in this episode. That was why he's wearing his snow cap. He's here at this salon to change the color of his hair back to dark brown.
I know Reed wasn't in this last episode & it just seems strange they never even made an excuse for him being absent in the story. Especially with Greg graduating coz there'd be no way he'd miss that. And what a weird way to end a multi season show. So abruptly with no closure.
Carol should have just come in the house and said something like, “Your father will back in a minute, he went to go pick up a keg for your graduation party.” Saying that Mr. Brady would ever go out of town for a child’s graduation raised more problems than it solved.
@@ravenel2 I thought that was poorly done, too. Plenty of other ways to work around Reed's absence besides making him look like a lousy father for choosing work over his son's graduation.
Then your ire for the bad writing should be directed towards Robert Reed, who refused to be in the episode at the last minute, literally the day they were starting to film the episode, not the writers.
If Bobby did not insist that Greg use some hair tonic right away, what if he actually did just before his graduation ceremony? Then there would be no time to do anything about it. Also, what if at least one of the people he was trying to sell it to, actually bought a bottle, and had the same results? That would have been quite a series finale.
OMG I’m glad someone said it because I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂 wouldn’t the graduation cap ruined their hairstyles a little? Or forget their hair being ruined the graduation cap needs a flat surface on the head to sit on.
Greg isn't very nice. The girls will tell all their friends, then the mothers will all find out. Mrs. Brady has to go to the grocery store, the PTA, church, the department store... and all the other women will think she's bald. No sir. Greg did not think this one thru.
Can ya blame him? What's he supposed to say "My hair turned orange because my little brother bought a non approved FDA hair tonic and he used it on me!"
