I responded to this thread thinking that it was here. https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards...d.php?t=393571

It was on the Brady Bunch thread.

The question was, "If it were up to you.
And the OP stated "Just out of curiosity if the series had gone to a 6th season; what changes or storylines would you have liked to have seen?a'

I responded.
"Wally, Lumpy and Eddie go to the same college.

Beaver goes to high school and doesn't act like an idiot.

June to think about going back to school and getting an MBA or maybe Law.

Whatever Ward does, he starts his own company to do it."

What a dork of a move I made.

In college Eddie starts rubbing off on Wally and he's no longer the all-around nice guy. He develops what would today be called his snarky side.

In high school, Beaver does become less naive and less of an idiot and now has a steady girlfriend whom June does not like. The girl, Mary Margaret, does not like Beaver as a name and calls him Teddy. June sets out on her mission to break them up. Ward disapproves of this but June will not have this siren with her baby.

June gets a better hair style, loses the stiff pushed up look of season's 5 & 6

Fred Rutheford embezzles his employer out of business, leaving Ward without a job.

Not having any immediate alternatives, Ward sinks his life savings into buying a mid-rise apartment building and assumes a "Mr Jillson": role as custodian to his own building, Providing ample opportunities for him to share his philosophies with "troubled" tenants. (cameo roles for other stars as tenants in his building)

Lacking college money and staring down the barrel of a draft notice expected to arrive "any day", Wally joins the Peace Corps, and ends up getting sent to a non-combatant country in South East Asia, where he falls in love with and marries a native girl.

Eddie starts an aluminum siding business and becomes an economic titan, employing Clarence Rutherford out of pity who now, with dad preoccupied, is forced to support his family.

Eddie also offers the Beav a part time job after school, but due to a falling out Beaver leaves and takes a temporary part time job at the mall, selling women's shoes.

And June remains the delightfully supportive matriarch we've all known and loved.
