@@jaredjlindenI read somewhere online that there was going to be a season finale where it was revealed Carol was pregnant with twins but that was cut.
"Ohhh, wait till those girls find out that they did the dishes for nothing." Don't tell them anything! It's about time they helped out around the house, and give Alice a break every once in a while. 😈😈😈
Not the first time Carol was rumored to be pregnant. When Greg has a crush on someone named Linda, Alice tries to ask the other kids if they know anything about Linda. Alice gets on the swings with Jan and asks her, "Do you think Linda is a nice name?" Jan jumps to conclusions and bails off the swing and tells everyone that Carol is pregnant. Alice has trouble getting off her swing and it is too late to stop the rumors.
@TnseWlms LOL....I immediately thought of Jan's scene (that you mentioned) when I first read the title of _this_ video clip. When Jan hopped off the swing, took off running and shouting "Mom's gonna have a baby! Mom's gonna have a baby!!!!" and then Carol tells Alice a little later that she just spent the past 'however many' minutes convincing Jan that she's _not_ going to have a baby. 😂😂 & Alice having trouble getting off the swing.....✔😂🤣🌷
@@sylviaisgod6947 Difference is, Carol started it with her deliberate double entendre. Jack, Janet, and/or Chrissy made wrong assumptions from eavesdropping only partially, LOL!!
@@kaitiscarlett9022 I think Carol was throwing a hint at Mike that they should be having sex more often than "never". That's why he looked so shocked, he knew he was hitting it, probably thought it was Sam or Greg.
That "on an engineering project in South America" trope also explained Rob Douglas' absence on My Three Sons. Speaking of that show... anyone remember why Ernie's parents abandoned him?
Everyone I knew my age hated cousin Oliver aka Li’l John Denver. 😂. Every sitcom that has to bring in that other character knows the writing is on the wall. LOVED the Brady Bunch. They should have stopped before they branched off. Yes grew up in the 60’s. In my opinion Alice was the star of the show. Without her the show wouldn’t have lasted.
If the show were to continue for another season with Oliver, Mike would have been written out of the show because Robert Reed was so fed up with it. Oliver could take Mike's square.
Apparently Robert Reed came in one day with his hair curly like that and said it *wasn't* a perm. He claimed it was naturally curly and he had been straightening it all those years. He said it always went back to curly when it rained, and now he was going to leave it that way. They mentioned this on one of the episode commentaries, and how they all didn't swallow a word of it.
I guess you still couldn't say "pregnant" in 1974. Yet, Oliver says the word "sex" in the last episode when Cindy is trying to get her rabbits to mate. I suppose as it was the last episode, they figured they could get away with it.
@@kaitiscarlett9022 I loved him on both of those shows! But not this one. If they would've added him to the cast of "Muggsy", I would've been America's most pissedoff 9-year-old...
Worst decision the writers did was bring the brat to the show...caused the failure k ure of the show.....pretty bad decision that's for sure...and the acting sooo bad.
He was obnoxious, and for me, it threw the entire family dynamic off. With 9 characters and 1 reoccurring character, (Sam) they could not progress with other ideas based on the kids getting older?
I know Carol was joking but I don't think she should have made Mike believe they were going to have a baby he seemed happy when he thought that was what she was implying. On one hand the fact that Mike thinks so suggest he and Carol have sex
Oliver's character sucked, we know. But cut a little slack for the poor guy. I'm sure he didn't sign up for this of his own accord, nor did he write the inane scripts for the episodes he starred in. He was just following directions. Let's face it, rarely does a shark-jump save a dying show. It usually just prolongs the misery.
The character wasn't needed... but I don't get the hate. He wasn't that nerve-grating little smartass type of character that seemed to appear on every TV show after this. There were no smartasses on the Waltons or on Eight Is Enough, both based on real families.
I couldn't stand Oliver. Couldn't stand that little brat actor. He was also on the Mary Tyler Moore show playing the adopted son of Ted and Georgette and he was just obnoxious. That cousin IT hairstyle was awful. I wonder whoever thought this kid should act.
