The Brady Bunch - Good-bye Little Woman

When Bebe Gallini makes a housecall, she meets the Brady's "little creatures."

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

I love the dynamics between Florence Henderson and Robert Reed. They really do act like a happily married couple. The whole TV show has awesome chemistry.

[@ddl4374]

So true !

[@battlestar4293]

They r the mom and dad we all want and sweet silly Alice the helpful maid would love to help out and provide guidance to the kids💙😍😍😍🙌👌👏

[@SnowDaulphin]

I think Reed criticized the show for the chemistry being too perfect, calling it superficial.

[@LA_HA]

Rather than superficial, I always thought we were dropping in to see what the Bradys or Gidget (another favorite show) were doing at a specific time. They had arguments and things like that, but it didn't matter, in the way doing their homework or hanging out with their friends didn't matter. Kind of like, how we don't remember the boring day to day stuff we do as much as those snapshot days when something out of the ordinary happens. It's not superficial, just selective.

[@indigothecat]

@@SnowDaulphin Considering that he was also gay in real life (and Florence was aware of it), they did a good job, and Robert was getting meta. I don't believe there really were any episodes where the two of them ever had a real argument beyond the wallpaper episode.

Wow, what a great ensemble. That color, dress, boa, jewelry and her fabo hairstyle. Just wow.

I LOVE BRADY BUNCH 💜❤️♥️❤️♥️💜

[@mazgonzalez7851]

One of my favorite show!!

[@gretchennelson7056]

“They didn’t mean any harm” “Neither did Frankenstein”😂😂😂😂

[@MVR326]

She compares the kids to Dr Frankenstein !! LOL

[@nenabunena]

They're so affectionate towards each other and it's so believable!

[@michaeltaylor1603]

2:23 was Mike giving Carol a "love tap". OMG! I never noticed THAT! When she said stationary bottom (sMaCk!) This was a funny episode.

[@zabadazidit]

Abbe Lane was THE definition of "high camp!" I think she's 91 and still with us.

[@christyhargett4662]

I love this episode

[@vincentlopez8883]

Abbe Lane was gorgeous in this episode.

[@fredrika27]

I would be sending Bebe the bill for the time Mike spent drawing up plans!

[@duayneclarke8366]

I'd say I'm an independent architect and double the bill

[@johnnastrom9400]

"My hair! May hair!" -- Favorite part.

[@claytonbrown7120]

They used bleach in their hair, now republicans think we should drink bleach if we have a cold 🤦🏻

[@turboredcart]

What a charming litle cottage- listed for 5.5 Million $

[@JourniHeart23]

Yes this is our 9 room guest house! OMG lol..hahahahahahaha!

[@shayboogs]

Another classic Mike Brady zinger!

[@nenabunena]

9rooms? The den, the study, the 3 bedrooms, Alice's bedroom that's 6? Does the kitchen count as a room? So there should be 2-3 more rooms for the kids, so why did Greg have to move to the garage?

[@morganjanelle4282]

@@nenabunena The den, study (family room), the 3 bedrooms, Alice's bedroom, kitchen, living-room, and the laundry room. That comes to 9. 😀🌷💐

[@Wakkosgirl]

I totally remember this episode! "Look, Mommy! She cries black tears!" In regards to the building design that makes her factory a compact - "No! It has to be more fluffy! As Bebe is fluffy her factory must be fluffy!"

[@Ilostmyfob]

" my head...my hair."

[@3dartistguy]

Mommy she cries black tears!

[@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen]

Haha haha I love how Mike and Carol always race to the door! 😂

[@janerodr5220]

They loved each other no matter what was said about Michael. We all show some kind of love. Our way but it always shows. 😍😍

[@michaelscott3174]

What did they say about Michael?

[@f430ferrari5]

Neither did Frankenstein 😂🤣

[@kenlompart9905]

This episode is called Mike's Horrorscope and is the only episode that shows Mike and Carol's bedroom has sliding glass doors.

[@SweptAway529]

Interesting! There was a season 5 episode where Greg gets caught up in a shower curtain in their bathroom trying to capture Rachel, the runaway goat mascot he kidnapped from a competing high school. Brady's must have done some remodeling between seasons!!

[@kenlompart9905]

@@SweptAway529 Actually it was Raquel and the bathroom was always there. It was behind the bed, they didn't mention it but occasionally you would see Mike walk out while they were getting ready for bed brushing his teeth and stuff.

[@SweptAway529]

@@kenlompart9905 Yes, well aware of the bathroom's presence - just commenting how it morphed from shower doors to a curtain. Definite memory fail for me on Rachel vs. Raquel. Bad goof given Raquel Welch in the news recently with her passing.

[@brianserpente4366]

Big fan of the Brady bunch watched all 5 seasons reruns on me tv Sunday 12 pm to 2pm movies read the book the CDs great chemistry 5 yrs😀😀

[@MoonlightNothing]

THE PINK LOOKS BETTER ON Florence Henderson, Aka CAROL BRADY!

[@scotiaemmett7975]

did anyone see the little hit mike gives Carol at 2:37 ?

[@indigothecat]

I like to think that this was part of Carol's plan, at least from the writer's perspective. She just got done scolding Mike the night before that this client was eating up all his spare time to the detriment of the family and his own sanity, but he kept insisting things would work out. When Bebe walked into their home unannounced to completely change the design all over again, Carol decided instead to flip the script and be positive, bubbly, and make jokes, which she knew would annoy Mike, in hopes that he'd come to his senses. However, the kids ended up solving the problem another way. :)

[@ddl4374]

Ooh! I love that hot pi k color !

[@curtpiazza1688]

Love it!

[@dutchman063]

Ive swore ive seen all the brady bunch episodes hundreds of times, but why do i not remember this one?

[@ravenel2]

“Are these creatures yours?”

[@ravenel2]

That pink Variety magazine shows up in at least three episodes...

[@Ilostmyfob]

Hard to think of them both gone. They were so much like family... I know that sounds weird! I loved Mike and Carol!

[@pinkfreud62]

ikr. I grew up watching them in the 70's & I was an only child. I had a couple close friends & cousins, but the BB always seemed like an extended part of my family.

[@aeriel69]

Not weird at all. I’ll tell you what’s weird. I vas very young when this show was on prime time. My mother had a good laugh seeing the confused look on my 5yo face as I watched season 1 in syndication for the first time and asking about the hairstyles and why Dad and Mom were calling each other Mike and Carol.

[@marciesdupree4643]

Damn😥

[@jaredjlinden]

God, I loved them. They were warm and real and devoted to their kids. They were strict with the kids when they had to be, but they didn’t hold them at arm’s length like the unaffectionate Ward and June Cleaver.

[@Ilostmyfob]

@The mysterious Miss X I am sorry. I'm sorry I just don't even have the right words when somebody loses their mother...❤

[@jaredjlinden]

Fun episode with a fantastic performance from Abbe Lane.

[@queenieinthehouse2959]

That's the same Vanity issue they used yrs later when Bobby dyed Greg's hair orange lol

[@MoonlightNothing]

I actually had neighbors named Mike and Carol! 😊

[@Mikhail-Tkachenko]

lmao bobby whips out a luger

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

0:21 imagine going to bed looking so glam😅. Take it easy Carol, hes got 9 ppl to feed.Unless MOM goes to WORK😅

If I were in Mike's shoes I would definitely thank those kids for getting rid of Bebe!

[@nataliegillmore7436]

[@jamesr1703]

Yes. Extra dessert at dinner, is in order.

[@nataliegillmore7436]

And I would give them a raise on their allowance.

[@brendapaddlety2413]

I don't remember this episode 🤔 I was sure I had seen every episode,but this one eludes me...

[@melissacooper4282]

It was in Season 1. It was called Mike's Horror Scope. It was about that his horoscope said that a strange woman would enter his life. That Bebe was definitely a strange woman!

[@johnoconnor6356]

Mommy, she cries black tears! Cute one.

[@vincentlopez8883]

Abbe Lane was tight back then.

"Oh Mike"

[@seventhfirestephanie8740]

3 hours on her hairdo? It looks like a messy bun anyone of us ladies can do with a hair clip. Bibi got ripped off by her salon, lol.

[@libertyann439]

Fortunately Bibi was a no no to BoBo.

[@ddl4374]

I wish they let Carol present herself a little more fabulously like the terrible client! She always had to present as the sensible mom and nothing else visually. But she was so warm and wonderful she comes across as a terrific mom a d a fantastic completely secure and confident wife ... still..I Wish ..! Oops ! I wS writing this comment watching the little woman episode just b4 this one in the season 1 playlist !

[@dancastro4732]

Bibi so reminds me of Penelope Fletcher in season 5's episode The Snooperstar

[@melissacooper4282]

Bebe was more eccentric then Penelope. Also the actress that played Penelope also played Mrs. Howell on Gilligan's Island.
