The Brady Bunch: A Clubhouse Is Not a HomeABC
October 31, 1969
Sitcom
DVD
C+
Skip Webster's first of five Brady scripts mostly does a decent job of balancing equality vs. privacy, but then it resorts to Mrs. Brady and the girls playing a trick on Mr. Brady and the boys, acting incredibly incompetent about building a clubhouse, in order to get the guys to build it for them. In an episode that's supposed to be about understanding and relating, this is particularly unnecessary, and actually more retrograde than the equivalent Gilligan episode five years earlier. Note, it's been three months since Mr. Brady talked to his sons to find out if they had any objections to him marrying Carol.
June Foray and Hans Conried provide the uncredited voices on Alice's soap.
