Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first filmed episode featuring Robbie Rist as Cousin Oliver, Carol's 8-year-old nephew. His appearance in the show is widely considered by fans as the moment when the series "jumped the shark" (that is, irrecoverably went into declining quality).
- GoofsWhen Bobby and Cindy are playing checkers, Oliver is shown wearing a Cal. State Northridge t-shirt. But just before Arthur comes in, the words on his t-shirt are shown covered up with tape which matches the stripes on the sleeves.
- Quotes
Peter Brady: [Puts record on to play] How's that?
Pamela Phillips: Super! Let's dance!
Peter Brady: [grabs his knee in pain] Ahhh!
Pamela Phillips: What's the matter?
Peter Brady: My knee. An old football injury. I better go take a look at it.
Pamela Phillips: Well, let me help you.
Peter Brady: No, no! I mean, I just met you. I couldn't let you look at my naked knee.

True, it's familiar stuff, done by other sitcoms, but it was just right for Peter, the kind of mess a Brady brother would get himself into. Enter Arthur, who looks exactly like Peter, except he wears glasses? Also, he's a really cool guy. Pete becomes fast friends with Arthur... and actually could use his help when Mike's boss' niece (Pamela) needs a Friday night date?
Turns out Peter has a date the same night ---so why not use his double?
Laugh out loud stuff. Chris Knight is so much fun to watch, and quite the mover and shaker. Bottom line, you have to see this one through, with all the neat twists. No question, one of the best directed episodes of the final season.
Special guest star in Denise Nickerson, playing a very patient Pamela through the insanity. Denise was a popular young actress, having appeared in WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY a few years earlier. Prior to this episode she actually auditioned for the lead in the EXORCIST, but lost out to Linda Blair.
Make no mistake the later scripts DID have their moments, especially this one, written by top writers. At times -- a teen version of LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE. That's very clever.
Recommended. SEASON 5 remastered color ABC/Paramout dvd box set.
