Hello, everyone and welcome back. I am Barry Williams, and I'm Christopher Knight.

And together we are the real Brady Bros. Well, this week's episode,

I got to pick this week's episode, didn't I, Chris? Yes, you did. And this is kind of a special,

and I guess in our history of the Brady Bunch, because it seemed to resonate really well with a lot of people.

I've had over the years people come up and tell me that they've had stories that, well,

didn't exactly mirror the predicaments that we were in, but when one brother was helping

out the other brother, this episode is our third year, and it's called Big Little Man, otherwise known as

Bobby the Shrimpoh. Now, do you think that this show, or the concept for the show, was spurred

along or came to light because of Little Big Man? I mean, Little Big Man was, I don't have access

to its movie premiere date, but remember that seminal movie with Dustin Hoffman.

And I wonder if because of his stature in playing Little Big Man, somebody came up with this idea for Bobby.

Because frankly, the whole premise starts with him being a Shrimpoh, but he's just the littlest of the boys.

You know, I guess maybe he's about the same size as Cindy, but he's not going to be bigger than anybody else.

He's the youngest.

That's true, but he's probably feeling that some of the pressure of that in school, or at least as the episode reads out, and that he was getting jealous of, you know, you,

his bigger brother and me, his bigger, bigger brother, and, you know, wanting to keep up and try

and do the same things that we were doing. That comes from the youngest brother syndrome of tag

along. Which would be something you know something about, so we have to get into that as we

discuss this

episode. I will. We will. Basically, just so everyone knows where we're headed there in my own

family, I grew up with two older brothers and was the youngest. Of course, in the Brady bunch,

I was the eldest of both brothers and three sisters. So that was a nice turnaround for me.
