The biggest question of all, especially if you were a fan of this show; HOW COME the house only had one bathroom upstairs? Then again... it wasn't built for six kids. That's the story here where everybody feels crowded and its time to move!

This is a super episode, and relatable if you ever moved to a new house when you were a kid.

Its the guys versus the girls who are tired of bumping into each other. So Mike and Carol start searching for a bigger home -- and then reality sets in. The old place has lots of memories, especially for Greg, Peter and Bobby who grew up there.

Comes the secret plan to scare away anyone who is interested in buying it. Scaring Alice is always fun, and this episode is reminsicent of a later season episode where Alice REALLY gets spooked.

Enter Mrs. Hunsaker (played by Fran Ryan), who likes the place -- and the gang sets their master plan into action.

10 Star classic episode from the first season, written by Paul West, who was behind FATHER KNOWS BEST and the DONNA REED SHOW. This was the only appearance of Fran Ryan, a popular actress on shows like DORIS DAY and GUNSMOKE, also in soap operas.

Fran was on tv and movies for years, a master of character roles, and its a shame she didn't come back for another episode.

This episode also marked a long running feud between Robert Reed and producer Sherwood Schwartz. Reed claimed the story was stupid and refused to appear in the ghost scenes. This would go on for years until he finally quit the show at the end of the fifth season.
