Carol looking at Bobby in the tub: the truth revealed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tonight's episode was the one where Bobby gets a bucket of paint dumped all over him, and Carol walks in on him while he's taking a bath. As it turns out, Bobby was taking a BUBBLE bath, so his little, uh, Brady, was covered, and Carol didn't see a thing. Thank God.

LOl ok...

I watched it too.. but that mustve been the part where I was asleep!

Fine.

But this still doesn't explain Bobby's behavior in the episode where he exposes his boyhood to both Cindy and Alice. When Alice sees them both naked and stops them from going to the neighbor's pool to sunbathe in the nude (supposed treatment for their illness).

Bobby didn't expose himself to Alice -- she exposed him, when she opened his robe (and Cindy's) to make sure they were wearing their new bathing suits. How could Alice know that they were wearing their birthday suits instead? Also, Bobby and Cindy weren't sick -- they merely explained their nudity by explaining that the neighbor whose pool they were going to swim in believed in aborbing vitamins from the sun.

What episode was this in?

It's from "Goodbye Alice, Hello", where Alice quits because the kids are giving her the cold shoulder (they think she's tattling on them). However, this scene hasn't been seen in reruns since the first syndication cycle back in the 70s and early 80s. Another victim of cuts for more commercials!

richheart · 01-05-2003, 12:36 AM

I don't think it was the episode where Alice leaves. But I don't remember which it was.

TV Guy · 01-08-2003, 12:21 AM

I believe it was. Alice not letting the kids go swimming was one more reason they were pissed off at her.

Elizabeth B. · 01-08-2003, 07:54 AM

THAT makes sense! Boy, those kids sure were touchy in that episode, weren't they?

Maybe the girls were all PMS-ing, and it was affecting the boys as well!

I remember that we first got cable around the summer of 1985 and I watched Brady Bunch on TBS, and the scene was still intact! (But that was the last time, because it went on hiatus for TBS later that year, and I am sure that by that fall or spring of 1986 it was gone. The chop-ups really started in the early 80's and by the mid 80's cable was doing more editing. By the late 80's, you saw the same slicing and dicing that we have now.

Yeah, the first syndication cycle ended at different points for different stations (since some had run the episodes in the 70s more frequently than other stations). WTBS also held on to the first cycle of "Bewitched" longer than our local station, since TBS showed the B&W episodes well into the 1980s, when Columbia was withdrawing those episodes from syndication.

Our local station got the second "Brady Bunch" cycle around '83 or '84. It was easy to tell these episodes had been re-edited, because suddenly the "Brady Bunch IN COLOR" bumper at the beginning of the early episodes was gone, as was the bumper with one of the kids saying "The Brady Bunch will return in a moment" that was shown before the final commercial break. And, more importantly, more scenes began disappearing from the episodes themselves.

Let's hear it for the Bradys.

Brady Fan · 08-16-2003, 12:54 AM

whoah whoah whoah I didn't know about that scene that got cut out see I wasn't exactly around when TBB was being shown in the 70s and 80s and stuff. It's disgusting how much editing TV Land does. *Sigh*

OKCRay · 08-21-2003, 03:39 AM

This is also the same episode where you can actually "hear" the never-seen Brady toilet! Be sure to scroll down and check out the post I started on this topic (you may have to page over for it).

It would be kind of embarrasing for a 12 year old boy to have his mom see him in the tub, bubbles or not. They should have done this scene with Mike instead of Carol.
