This famous episode, written by Elroy Schwartz, is sooo relatable...
I totally agree with the last reviewer Bobby gets Greg in trouble DEEP... but it was more bragging on what a cool driver he was. The folks don't agree.
Considering the Bradys are supposed to live in the Valley, around North Hollywood or Studio City, that would mean he was speeding on the 101 freeway --which is extremely dangerous. Not good.
Mike is really mad and Greg is grounded. Period.... Although comes the famous or infamous "exact words" clause in the arguement, which Greg has to live by? Pure genius or what?
And he does pay a BIG price, however clever, it gets him enough time to still be able to date gal pal Rachel (played by Sherwood Schwartz's daughter Hope). Hope was a very good actress, with a sense of humor, as you will see.
In the meantime, and the BEST part, is the school frog jumping contest. This actually may have caught fire across the country, as I remember at my junior high at the time this episode came out -- we also had a frog jumping contest. And we had a blast.
Note the cool Chevy Impala convertible (Mike's car) which Greg is driving. Paramount dumped Dodge for Chevy at the time, and that was a beautiful car in its day. Elroy Schwartz wrote this one. Elroy also wrote for FAMILY AFFAIR, MY THREE SONS and GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
Do NOT miss the classic ending with gooey frog pizza?
