Kitty Karry-All Is Missing

I agree with cee cee: I think the BB is one of the most pure, innocent, and best series. Again, probably more like those of the 50s, but in a more modern setting, addressing some of the issues of those times, still relevant today. I'm from the BB generation, I can identify with the characters and situations, and have always loved the family as if they were cousins or something. I have the complete series on DVD and probably know most of the dialog... Perhaps like all true fans, most of the time I can anticipate what the next line is! What prompted me to look up this episode today was the 'pot roast' thing. I wanted to know if anyone else noticed just how quickly that roast burned. Honestly, I swear it was more like a total of 3 minutes from 'almost done' to BLACK! Furthermore, I believe pot roasts are cooked on a stove top. Aren't roasts 'roasted' in the oven referred to as 'Oven Roasts'? Maybe I'm wrong, but I took notice of course when I was again reminded at how quickly the roast burned and again heard Alice refer to it as a 'pot roast'.

I love the Brady Bunch. It is such a clean, cute, and corny show. BB is perfect for family viewing. There are some really funny things that stick out to me though, like the way the parents seem oblivious to EVERYTHING going on with the kids half the time. It seems to take forever for them to step in when the kids are fighting, upset about something(Cindy is upset she only is allowed one guest and has to decide who to invite to her play in the episode before this one) or like in this episode when one of the kids is being bullied by the others.

The other thing that I caught and this is why I write is that as the court session begins Alice says dinner is almost ready. Five minutes later she says she can smell it and they need to finish up. About a minute after that Cindy yells, "Alice, something is burning." When Alice gets to the oven the roast is black. I don't know about everyone else but I've never seen a 5lb roast go from 'almost' ready to burned in under ten minutes. TV is a magical place, huh?

This show is more like one of the 50's then the late 60's and early 70's in its innocence. Sometimes I wish they still made TV like this.
