Big Little Man

[safenoe · 8/10 · 12 January 2024]

Anyway, I grew up on The Brady Bunch and I'm sure I've watched perhaps 70% or 80% of them, and really it's a shame it didn't run for an extra season or two. Still, these episodes bring back the memories, and Big Little Man helps us understand why Bobby (Mike Lookinland) expresses major disquiet about being short. I think it's something many young people can relate to, and I can think of a Mission Impossible/Top Gun actor who probably had similar sentiments as he was trying to break into Hollywood.

This episode is references in the iCarly episode, iSpy a Mean Teacher so The Brady Bunch lives on.

Bobby Hates Being Short

Bobby thinks he will never grow when no one takes him seriously because he is little for his age.

One of the best Bobby episodes. Plus Robert Reed directed this one very well, he also directed a good Season 2 episode "The Winner" which also featured Bobby. It starts with a great teaser, where Bobby climbs a ladder and nearly falls, he is rescued by Greg. One of the best scenes is when Sam the butcher tries to cheer up Bobby after jokingly calling him "shrimpo". A subplot has Greg being hired by Sam as a delivery boy. This leads to a great scene where Bobby gets to save Greg.
