And we're back. Hey, thanks for joining us for this second half of an episode that has so much information in it and so many

different ideas and an international superstar and Joan Namath, we had to break this into two parts.

So here we are with Mail Order Hero, Part 2 from Season 5. And Chris, for those of us that don't have it freshly in our minds,

when did this air? Who wrote this thing anyway? Who produced it and who were our guest stars?

First aired September 21st, 1973, second episode of season five, the 97th episode in total.

Created by Sherwood Schwartz, our executive producer, produced by Howard Leeds, written by

Martin Ragoe, directed by Bruce Bielsen.

Again, special guest star Joe, Willie Namath, Tim Herbert as Herb, Carrie McLean as Eric,

Eric Woods is Tom, Larry Michaels as Bert. And I am Barry Williams. And I'm Christopher

Knight. And we are the real Brady Bros. All right. Well, we, there was a bit of a cliffhanger

here. Bobby had been bragging to his friends that he knew Joe Namath, who always came over to dinner

at our house, whenever he was in town, it was a big fib, and it has gone through the house.

Everybody has got advice.

But then, Cindy overhears Marsha talking about Mike Connors, who everybody knows from Manix, a detective

show, and that he went 1,200 miles out of his way to visit a sick child

in a hospital for just five minutes.

Cindy gets the idea to write a letter to somehow get to Joe Namath, who's going to be in town,

and write it in Bobby's voice.

And you're sick as the hook.

He was really sick, hoping to pray on Joe's sensitivities.

Well, it worked.

She's got an example of another celebrity reacting positively, if you will, going out of the way.
