The Brady Bunch: My Brother's Keeper

Michael Morris's last Brady story tells of Bobby saving Peter's life in a way that somewhat resembles how Peter saved a little girl's life in the first season.  Instead of getting a swelled head, Bobby takes advantage of Peter's gratitude.  The "line down the middle of the room" thing seemed to show up on sitcoms every once in awhile.  (I remember it on Happy Days.)  But considering there are in fact two doors and the bathroom is accessible from the hallway, Bobby's defiant flush of the invisible toilet isn't impressive as he thinks.  In the subplot, the girls' bedroom is redecorated and reference made to the redecoration of the parents' room.  (The show is not very strong on continuity, but every once in awhile there's a sense that writers looked at old scripts, as in Carol's recent mention of her lack of tonsils.)
