I was watching little house on the praire the other day on tv land and it was an episode I had not seen before , charles went to chicago and took mary with him so she could see someone she liked alot and when they were on the train coming back to walnut grove mary was very sad as the trip didnt turn out as she had hoped and then this young man sat down on the seat across from her and it was none other than mike lookinland aka bobby brady, funny because I remember melissa sue anderson (Mary) playing in an episode of the brady bunch as bobbys first kiss.

Whenever I see the Brady Kids on shows after their Brady Bunch roles were over, it makes me kind of sad. It is a reminder that as far as acting goes, the Bradys was the most they ever accomplished. I wish they'd gotten roles on other series. I saw Robbie Rist and Chris Knight on two different episodes of CHiPs.

I seen Barry Williams on a Season 6 episode of Three's Company called, Up In The Air.

Marica's on Bewitched:) Greg was on Adam 12 I think.

...On "CHiPs", Robbie getting in trouble for looking at bikini-clad women...lol. He was peering over a shower type thing.

Something like that...

Barry Williams had a cameo on "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." once. It was right before "The Brady Bunch" started. And, in the 90s, Maureen McCormick was a regular on a short-lived ABC series called "Teen Angel" or something.

Probably few who read this board are old enough to remember, but in the mid-70's, just after the Brady Bunch, Robbie Rist was a regular on a one-season series called Lucas Tanner, starring David Hartman as a big-city high school teacher, often the students' advocates before the school administrators, the police, or other authorities. Rist played a neighbor kid called "Lindon," [but imdb.com says it was 'Glendon'], not too unlike Cousin Oliver on TBB; in some ways precocious, in some ways slow and goofy, usually complicating the home life for the bachelor school teacher who let him in a too many of his activities. One time he ran away from home and somehow ended up at a rehearsal of some racy nightclub act, and of course he called Mr. Tanner, instead of his parents, to come get him. But at least he was in that show at the start, and his 'intrustions' were funny, unlike on TBB where there were already 6 kids .

I remember that show. thanx for the memories.

I seen Barry Williams on a Season 6 episode of Three's Company called, Up In The Air.

That was one of my favorite eps of that series, and I enjoyed seeing it uncut for the first time since 1982 on DVD. TV Land has ripped a lot of the best parts out.

I remember that show. thanx for the memories.i actully went to an estate sale of items that had belonged to david victor who was the producer of that show i picked up an autographed picture of david hartman a picture of actress diane baker with a very long note telling him what a great time she had working on 1 ep of lucas tanner and an auto graphed pic of soupy sales and i think i picked some promo pics from lucas tanner but im not sure i looked for something autographed by robbie rist but i didnt find anything

I recently watched season 3 of Bewitched and seen Soap's Major in the Soap Box derby. I also seen Norman Fell of Three's Company on Bewitched in the episode where Aunt Clara conjurs up Sigmund Freud.

...On "CHiPs", Robbie getting in trouble for looking at bikini-clad women...lol. He was peering over a shower type thing.

The CHiPs I saw him on, his pet snake had been left in a car.

Mike lookinland did a couple of cameos in the 1970s erwin allen movie The towering inferno, as far as I know he barry and chris were in big screen movies, chris was I believe in a brooke shields movie I cant remember the title, and barry was in dickie roberts former child star, early in her career Eve plumb (Jan) was in a tv movie called the house on green apple road, I have not seen that movie but once and it was years ago so I think she played a young girl who seen her parents murdered, and as far as robbie rist (oliver) he has been in alot of tv shows through the years and was in a few movies, he was in that movie in the 80s Iron eagle with jason gedric, oh and he was in an episode of whats happening and he played a character that was like himself, a child actor who was trying to get a commercial and his mother was very mean to him which is what robbies mother was really like.

FYI , folks, here are some pics of that scene on the train... you can see Mike L entering the car in the first pick..

cool pictures.


Thanks :wave:

I'd posted those in another thread a while back...as soon as I saw the topic of this thread , I knew exactly what The Flying Dutchmans was talking about... I'd made those pics when I posted them in that other thread, so they were on my PC and ready to go! :)

I recently watched the second season of the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew series and Maureen McCormick played a kleptomaniac tennis pro.

I remember Chris Knight in the original Bionic Woman, if I remember correctly he was the original owner of the bionic dog.

And watching Simon and Simon reruns on the Sleuth Channel, I saw Robbie Rist playing a computer whiz.

No, but I bet I can guess who you SAW. :rolleyes:

i love white rabbit's avater.

Greg was on Adam 12 I think.

Yes he was as Reed and Malloy responded tp a domestic voilence call and 2 other cops were there and one of the other cops was a regular on ADAM-12 (blond hair) and he made the bust by kicking in the door and almost getting shot.

Talking about the bottom picture (unfortunately SO.com did not allow me to copy the picture :( ), is it me, or does Melissa Sue Anderson look a lot like Becky Slater on The Wonder Years?

I always thought Melissa Sue Anderson was so pretty and never seemed to get the credit she deserved. Does anyone know what she is doing now?

If you check on YouTube, there's an interview with her, I think it's cut up into about 6 parts. It was done within the last few years, she was talking about a TV Movie she did in which she plays the First Lady... I forgot exactly, but I think the movie deals with a catastrophic natural disaster in which she's injured pretty badly. I didn't see the movie whenever it aired, but I would have probably watched it had I known she was in it.

I think that Melissa is living in Canada now...and, I think that she became a Canadian citizen...and I believe that she did that because her husband is Canadian.

I'm thinking she has either 2 or 3 children, but I'm not sure...it's been awhile since I saw the interview. She still looks great in the interview, and you can definitely tell that it's her.

Here's a link, btw, to her wedding pics ... she looks great (duh!) :)

And I think you're absolutely correct...not only was Melissa one of the most beautiful child actresses ever (THE prettiest, imho), but she definitely never got the credit she deserved...

MSA was the reason I started watching LHOTP in those days to begin with.
And, as great as that show was, she definitely was not featured nearly enough, as far as I was concerned ! :lol:

Also on you-tube is a clip from a "Love Boat" show on which MSA appeared... here's the link:

That page will also give you links to her LHOTP interview. As I said, it's maybe 6 parts.

Thanks for all the info ! She was a crush of mine along with Kari Michaelson of Gimme a Break.....:)

Bewitched would have been before the brady bunch, not after.

Eve Plumb did Dawn: Portrait of a teenage runawy

Robbie Rist did the premiere of Galactica 1980 (then got replaced)

Susn Olsen and Mike Lookinlad did a takeoff on Fantasitc Voyage where they got animated and went into the body of their uncle who was having a heart attack (that might have been during season five though)

Eve Plumb was on the shortlived saturday morning show Fudge

Marica's on Bewitched:) Greg was on Adam 12 I think.


That was before she was on Brady Bunch, not after.

FYI , folks, here are some pics of that scene on the train... you can see Mike L entering the car in the first pick..

When does Jesse James come in?

I saw Barry Williams on Full House and Maureen McCormick on Happy Days.

I remember seeing Susan Olsen on Gunsmoke as a very little girl (pre-brady bunch)

Up In The Air is a hilarious episode of Three's company,I should get season 2-8. I also saw Charlotte stewart on Bonanza.

I seen Barry Williams on a Season 6 episode of Three's Company called, Up In The Air.


I was just thinking of that one as I was reading the last reply!

When does Jesse James come in?

Unfortunately, that scene made the episode run just a little long...it's on the DVD as a deleted scene :)

Thanks for all the info ! She was a crush of mine along with Kari Michaelson of Gimme a Break.....:)


I too had a crush from "Gimme a Break!". Mine was Lauri Hendler. In my opinion, the character of Julie was pretty hard to surpass of even equal! Especially when she was wearing designer boots!

Robbie Rist was in allot of TV shows. he was also in the Movie Iron Eagle with jason Gedrick and Louis Gossit jr
