David P. Harmon's second Brady script has a title that only this show could get away with in '70 and not have people think it was about marijuana. It's not even about the Astroturf lawn. It's that old '50s plot of the husband and wife swapping chores for a day, in this case teaching the boys baseball vs. helping the girls learn about cooking. I was going to go with C+ since it's another episode about how rigid gender roles should always be observed, but there are a couple cute gimmicks: the heavy use of background music, e.g. "Goodnight Ladies" (or perhaps it's "Goodnight Bradys"), and the back and forth reading aloud of the cookbook and the baseball book.
