What are your views on the Oliver episodes Brady fans ?

I think the writers were running out of story material and Oliver's arrival gave them new inpiration. I think the Oliver eps are better than the rest of season 5.

Rist was a very good little actor. The Oliver episodes tend to have a little more liveliness in my opinion, as he was not reserved in demeanor -- which naturally set in for the others, as they grew up.

And Oliver wasn't bad, he was just brought in at the wrong time.

That's a really good way of putting it. I don't think that Oliver killed The Brady Bunch as so many people seem to think.

I agree that he certainly wasn't shy or reserved or afraid to say things!!
Was that the only time they mentioned the word "sex" on The Brady Bunch when cousin Oliver said it?

Yes! Cousin Oliver was the only one to ever say the word "sex" on The Brady Bunch.

I didn't think he was that bad. Part of me wants to say there should have been a Season 6 for him to develop.
