Bruce Howard's second Brady script is interesting for chronology and other reasons.  Greg is going to be 15 in a month.  (November or December?)  He tells his dad he'd like to follow in his footsteps as an architect, which sets up the "Frank Lloyd Wrong" debacle a couple years later.  And we see him with his first sort of girlfriend, who thinks architects are groovy.  Also, of course, there is the reason for the title of the episode, that Greg loses his dad's blueprints while working as a delivery boy, but he does redeem himself when given a second chance.  There's a scene that I honestly don't remember seeing in syndication, where Alice reminds Mr. Brady of an error she made early on that he forgave.  It added to this episode and gave me an insight into their relationship.  This is one reason why I'm glad to own uncut DVDs.

Drama Coach Barbara Morrison would later be Mrs. Tuttle.  Jack Collins makes his first appearance as Mike's boss Mr. Phillips.  This time Gordon Jump plays the Mechanic.  Note, I believe this is the first of the BBunch episodes where they cut costs by omitting a kid, this time Susan Olsen.
