Kelly's Kids 5/5/1963 - The Mitchells' neighbors adopt an orphaned boy and his two friends, one of which is Afro-American and the other is American Indian. Another neighbor, Mrs. Payne, tries to get help from the Mitchells avert the adoption when they find out. But the adoption occurs when the Mitchells refuse to help the old lady do such a thing. (Mr. and Mrs. Wilson do not appear. Neither does Tommy or other friends of Dennis. In fact, Dennis only appears for less than a minute. This episode was to be a pilot of another series CBS was planning to begin to make later that year. But the show never got past planning stages. Ten years later, it would be remade again, as an episode of The Brady Bunch, with the same title but again did not get picked up as a series.)


I have very serious doubts that this episode ever existed, TV.com nor IMDb include it in their episode guides plus I checked other episode guides for the show and none mention Kelly's Kids.

Some people should just be banned from adding to Wikipedia and imdb. *SIGH*

Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to troll the Net

Don't the people who run Wikipedia ever CHECK to make sure the stuff is true before they let it appear on the web?? :rolleyes: ohno: :crazy:

A red flag was waving when I saw this especially since DTM aired on CBS and TBB aired on ABC. I couldn't see ABC being desperate enough to obtain the rights from CBS to remake the episode even if it did exist.

Just the fact that people can add to Wickipedia makes me wonder about it.

I have corrected few articles on there myself. For example there was an article about the Nimslo in which it was stated that when it came out in 1980 it had been the first time "in over 30 years" since a stereo camera had been mass marketed when , in fact, it was only 9 years since the Stereo Realist had ceased production (ads for it appeared in National Georgraphic in 1969!) and The Viemaster Mark II didn't even come out until 1962.

This is, of course, a rather obscure topic to most people but someone writing an article on it should do some research rather than just making statements off the top of their heads.

Of course, the Nimslo article wasn't deliberately making false statements but you get the idea.

It seems to have been fixed and I'm sure they didn't have two episodes on the same date:
The Lost Dog 5/5/1963 – Dennis finds a stray dog and, since the pound is closed until the next morning, Henry allows the dog to stay in their house for the night. The dog causes nothing but trouble including barking in the basement, jumping on Henry's bed, and chasing Mr. Wilson up a tree.
