Are you really going to fault her for enjoying some contests which likely cost nothing more than the cost of a stamp? Carol does state she admires Alice’s persistence. Geez Mike, the woman works in your home from sunup to sundown and serves as a third parent and friend to your children. Mike laments Alice taking part in “another contest” and suggests this, like Cindy’s tattling, is an ongoing problem. About this time, Alice enters the living room pushing a carpet sweeper and pondering a jingle for the Everpress Fabric Company. Initially he and Carol give chase, but Mike declares the ball chewed and a lost cause and Tiger is allowed to escape. As they discuss the day’s events, the Brady’s dog Tiger (do you remember him?) comes running from Mike’s den with a golf ball in his mouth.

While it is not masterfully done like on Seinfeld, it is unusual for a Brady episode. This story, while not that exciting, does treat us to three plotlines that all intertwine together at the end. Another Brady adventure will have her being a super narcissist when she gets to appear on a TV show. In the future, she will get the scarlet S as she is branded a snooper. It does portray Cindy as the most morally conflicted of the Brady children. There is not necessarily anything absurd or irritating about it it’s just kind of dull. While this is an episode I remember well, it was never one that ranked among my favorites. Thank you for joining me this week to review “The Tattle-Tale”.
