One reason why The Brady Brides bombed in 1981 was NBC's misguided decision to place the show on Fridays. With the opposition consisting of Dukes of Hazzard, it was game over.
Another was the plot device that had Marcia (Maureen McCormick) & Jan (Eve Plumb), and their husbands sharing a house, perhaps as a means of saving studio money, I suppose.
Anyway, Florence Henderson returns as Carol in "Gorilla My Dreams". After the house is robbed, the ladies take up self-defense. Seeing the three women in leotards, tights, and flat shoes would be enough to get teenage boys to flip over from Dukes, but, nope.
Jerry Houser (Wally) would latch onto another franchise in later years, as he voiced an adult Bamm-Bamm in a series of primetime Flintstones specials for ABC.
In two weeks: We'll mix things up a bit with a Western, The Big Valley.
