Hello everybody. Oh, boy, here we go. This is an unusual week, I think. I'm excited. I'm ready to get going by way of introduction. Thanks for joining us.

I am Barry Williams. And I'm Christopher Knight. And we are the real Brady Bros. It's always like a test to

see if we can actually hit that at the same time. Anyway, it's nice to be here in our respective rooms

discussing this episode, a word from our sponsor. It was quite an event, this show

getting on the air. It is not what I would consider one of our most believable episodes.

This is one that Robert Reed took was especially critical of. And for good reason, I think,

and looking at his notes and what he was criticizing

and then watching the episode, many of those things got corrected before it ever went to the

air, and many of them did not. But tell me, Chris, what was your impression as you were,

you were reviewing a word from our sponsor?

Let me first take our audience back to the history of this episode.

It was first aired November 5th, 1971.

It was the eighth episode of season three and the 57th Brady episode aired in total, directed by Peter Baldwin, written by Albert E. Lewin.

And this show co-starred quite the luminary. Yes. And somebody, I wish at the time, I had more

knowledge of, although I was a great fan of his growing up, and that was Paul Winchell, because I was a

giant fan, the Winchell Mahoney hour, or whatever it might have been called, Knucklehead and Jerry

Mahoney were childhood favorites of him. It was a wonderful ventriloquist, as well as the voice of,

gosh, so many, so many of cartoons, Winnie the Man, Smurfs, gummy bears, and

oh, particularly like this, because I was a big Yogi Bear fan, he was Dick Dastardly.

Yeah, and he brought all of that kind of energy to his performance as Skip Farnham in this episode.

Well, so before we go too much into the episode, I just needed to bring this about because

I was aware of him being a ventriloquist and Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead.
