This question has probably been asked before, but does anybody know why TBS wont show the episode "Gert Rides Again"?!

The only explination I can think of is, usually when famous people pass away, the rights to their works (estate), usually shifs hands. Imogene Coca who played Aunt Gert in the episode, passed away from natural causes in 2001. I'm not sure as to when TBS stopped airing this episode. But chances are, if it was around 2001, that would probably be the reason why.

That sounds logical. So I am curious. Does anybody know if the Aunt Jenny episode on The Brady Bunch is still shown? Imogene Coca played her too.

Yeah, that would seem logical, BUT, they still show all of the episodes with Aunt Effie (Dorothy Van). Who, unfortunately passed away in 2002. As well as the episodes with Alberta Meechum (Anne Haney), who passed away in 2001! So, if it was that, it seems like they wouldn't show those either...

Yes it is still shown I seen it it in March of this year when Nick at night tv land showed in on a Sunday of their double dose of 2 shows back to back of the same tv show.

I'm pretty sure. It was the first Brady Bunch episode I had seen in like 3 years.

I've seen a bunch of reruns of various shows featuring Phil Hartman.
