A possible discontinuity within "The Great Earring Caper"... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well, this episode was on the other day, and I couldn't help but notice a possible problem.

While Peter was in the bathroom doing investigative plumbing work, Cindy was in her bedroom guarding the pocket (sliding) door. When Peter finally let her into the lavatory, the door became a regular "hinged" door.

Is Jimmy right, or did I miss something?

I haven't seen the episode in a while, but my theory is that there are TWO sliding bathroom doors, one which leads to the girls' bedroom and the other one to the boys' bedrooms, however there is also a hinged door that leads to the hallway. I can remember times where Mike and/or Carol would enter the bathroom from the hall via this hinged door to resolve any conflicts between the Brady kids that happened in there.

There were three doors. Imagine having to lock all three doors whenever you had to use the bathroom, and then unlocking them when you were through. Each time!

the boy's and girl's bedroom/bath doors were sliders, and the hallway entry was a hinge. Cindy was guarding the girl's room door (slider), but when Peter let her into the lav, that slider turned into a hinge (from the bathroom perspective).

Maybe I'm wrong... I'll have to wait 'till it comes around again.

No, after she left the boys' room she went around and knocked on the hallway door. I just got out the DVD and watched it.
