Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: Expectant PapaSyndicated

This is the only WTYF episode written by William Raynor and Myles Wilder and it has a plot very different than what they could've gotten away with on The Brady Bunch. When Irma is possibly pregnant, the only one happy about it is Harry. My main issue with the episode is that too much of it is focused on Harry. I understand that he's the series protagonist, but shouldn't Irma's feelings, at roughly 40, be given more significance than they are? The title reflects this unbalanced emphasis, as does Harry's insistence that he be the one to tell the kids, "We're pregnant."
Twelve-year-old Willie Aames takes over as the voice of Jamie, although I couldn't really tell a difference.
