This episode was just on last Saturday on MeTV. That is a funny part but there are more ridiculous parts of this episode. A man locks you and your family in a prison cell and you don't report him to the police. They turn the other cheek and continue with the vacation LOL

Yeah, in Sitcomland, everyone just forgives and forgets. Of course, these are the Bradys...

They forgave that nutty professor in Hawaii too. So what if he tied our kids up in a cave?

With regard to the ghost town: NOBODY arrests Thurston Howell III!

Ha ha thats right. Mike Brady told the cave dweller: I don't know who you are but you have lots of explaining to do (while his 3 boys are tied up in a secret cave)
