Featured review
MIKE, CAROL, ALICE AND THE GANG.
Hard to believe all the decades that have passed since the beginning of this classic show. Still something to watch, now sort of a time capsule?
Reportedly, it was based on the Lucille Ball movie, YOURS, MINE AND OURS (1968), all about a widow and a widower with even MORE children from separate marraiges, based on a true story. This would be the only episode where Mike talks about his late wife, who apparently passed when Bobby was a baby and left he and the boys with only Alice to take care of them. In fact, it would seem Bobby knew Alice longer than his real mom.
Ann B Davis, two time Emmy award winner, was a natural to play the role of Alice Nelson, the comic go-between. Alice, in many ways, was like Uncle Charley in MY THREE SONS, always around, defender of the kids, and watching them grow up and roll with the punches.
There's really not much background on how Mike and Carol met, except now they're planning to get married and form an even bigger family and somehow, someway live happily ever after? The resulting goofy situations are a preview of what was to come, with the addition of the boys' dog and the girls' cat loose at an outdoor wedding party to begin with.
Best of it is the formal(?) wedding, and with a lot of familiar character actors in place; the famous scene with Mike and Carol VERSUS the gigantic sliding wedding cake getting all the attention. That one scene has become (perhaps) the most rerun scene of any sitcom in tv history, a close second being Marcia hit in the nose by a flying football (from season 4).
Guest star Dabbs Greer, everywhere in movies and tv, plays the super surprised minister.
True, the first season is a whole lot different, more 60s formal (even the hairdos and haircuts), as compared to the next four seasons. However, as the Bradys entered the 70s, particularly by the third season, the gang defined the era with all the colors, the clothes, the cars and the longer hair. It was a trip, and still is after all these years.
We can't get enough of these guys, and we'll never forget Robert Reed, Florence Henderson and Ann B. Davis. They are missed. And yes, the Brady house is still there on Dilling Avenue in North Hollywood, and looking the same after all these years. Perhaps the best ending of all.
