The Brady Bunch: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
ABC
October 17, 1969
Sitcom
DVD
B-
Paul West's first of three BBunch scripts is notable for a few reasons, including that the title pre-dates the movie by several years. It shows how the theme of "adjustments" affects not only the Bradys but Alice, who's been with Mike's family for over seven years. (Since Bobby was a baby or maybe even when the first Mrs. Brady was pregnant.) There's also the recurring motif of a character lying badly. (Last time it was Cindy about her sprained ankle.) We get our first view of Mike and Carol in formal wear outside their wedding. And there's a reference to Tiger, although he doesn't appear.
Fred Pinkard, who plays Mr. Stokey the mailman, would appear on What's Happening!! eight years later.
