The Brady kids find Alice waitressing at a restaurant and beg her to come back home! #BradyBunch | Now streaming on Paramount+ Where to watch: para.mt/BradyBunch
I don't need the love, hell don't even need the appreciation. Ill take just being recognized. Saddest part for me is Im the damn owner. My employees treat me like the big bad wolf and do their best to avoid me. I figured since my being there was such a burden for them Id just stay away. So now my daughter deals with the day to day and I just sit at home bored out of my freaking mind. Even my own daughter asks me why Im there when I stroll through the door. Can you believe it?
Ann B. Davis got a standing ovation , at the TV Land Awards. I am so glad they gave her a special award, before she passed away. Alice was probably the most loved character on any sitcom, ever. (Mary Tyler Moore would be a close second. )
The coolest thing is Ann B Davis (Alice) was the wholesome glue that kept those kids out of trouble on set. Its why you never heard of them getting in serious trouble..In essense, she was the real life Alice.
Florence Henderson was pretty motherly too. It was the actor who played Mike that could be a problem as he thought doing a family sitcom was beneath him. However, he did get closer to the kids as the show went on. Even taking them out on his boat during weekends,
@@Brandon-lw1wx Robert Reed even took the kids to The Globe theater to see Shakespeare over a summer hiatus. He was a classically trained theater actor, I do respect that...
Genuine and authenticity are two words you hear a lot lately. Especially on social media. Folks are really thirsting for it. So much so they’re willing to project it onto scripted sitcoms, respectfully
Ann B Davis was so good, her timing and expressions are great: ''Passing by??" then her expression, at 1:07.. then ''That's interesting, you all go to different schools"! She was totally on to them
This was one of only two episodes that Robert Reed didn't appear in due to his continuous conflicts with the script and story lines. The other was Hair-Brained Scheme. However, though he had differences with the producers, he actually really bonded with the kids. He would take them on outings, buy them gifts, and really enjoyed their company.
Alice was such a great actress she'll be sadly missed. When Alice said to Mr foster these are the Brady's he said marvellous and these are the customers perhaps I should arrange a time for to spend more time with them all day if you get the point.
That poor guy is still waiting for his order to this day 🤣 If you watched the series closely, he was also the same guy who was engineering the Davy Jones singing session, and he was one of the proud parents in the episode where Bobby is in the ice cream eating contest.
Robert Reed refused to appear in this episode on the premise that Alice would never have left the family just because the kids were upset with her over such a minor thing. (They thought she was squealing about little accidents or misdeeds they had caused, even though she was not). It was so awkward when Alice said good bye to just Carol even though it was Mike who had hired her and who knew her for a much longer time.
The restaurant manager didn't seem to realize that the Brady kids were customers, too. She appeared to be the only waitress on duty, she could only handle one order at a time and there were six of them ordering food.
@@rn6710 It's TV land. When you movies and TV shows, you are entering into a fantasy world. What about Married With Children? If Al Bundy was that poor, there is no way they would be living in a house like that. It's impossible to support a wife and two kids on a shoe salesman's salary.
3:04 is he talking about firing her? Because if he is, then that would kind of make his question "Where do you think you're going?" odd. Suggestively, she agreed to the termination. I kind of wonder what their fruit cup looks like. A cup with different fruits in it? Or one of those mini cups with the juice inside and peelable cap?
I guess they were short on actors. On Three's Company, there was one actor who played a restaurant owner, a dentist and a psychiatrist. Same actor, three different characters.
I agree first of all I would help second of all the six kids have their right to order and ask questions. I mean, I’m gonna get to you when I get to you. I gotta help these people out.
Alice just took that guy’s order in the blue shirt and he was automatically expecting his food. What was he expecting a pop-up meal? This wasn’t a fast food restaurant. The boss was also a jerk. The Brady kids were customers too.
@@Brandon-lw1wx I DID watch the clip and I did not see ANYWHERE where Alice took the order of the other table, nor where the guy in blue asked specifically for their order to be brought to them...Can you supply me with a clip where Alice DID take the order of the guy in blue or where he asked for their order to be delivered...?
A very long time ago! When I waited tables around 1980 or so we didn't automatically give the customers water, but if they asked of course we gave it to them.
This show was before my time but my mom watched it when she was a kid and put me onto it. I remember seeing this episode as a kid and would eventually work in the restaurant business and it was no different where i was working compared to how this manager was acting. My mom would eventually pass away back in 2019 and when i went to tell the job what happend and they were as cold as ever about it saying “they then had to find people to cover my shifts”. In other words what they did here in this episode with the restaurant manager being a prick is what its like working in that business
Impatient customers and a jerk as a boss. She's only at the table for 20 seconds assisting six young customers with their orders when the boss tells her to speed things up. A short time later a customer barges into things when he can see she's waiting on a table. A thankless job. She then walks out, leaving the boss with no waitress and for the customers to make their own food. There's also a safety hazard in the restaurant. There was a stool between the front door and beside the booth the Brady kids were sitting at, that Alice just happened to pull in front of the booth to sit with the kids. Customers could have easily walked into it and fell. Personal injury lawsuits from this could bankrupt the place.
Very unprofessional manager! You don't admonish an employee in front of guests! It's embarrassing and inappropriate! If she was taking too long at a table or blatantly slacking off by sitting down, he should have asked to talk to her, pulled her aside, and then firmly instructed her to stand up and get back to work.
....ironic, that Alice would wear the SAME uniform that Linda Lavin's 'Alice' would wear in 1976! ..ha-HAAA! (0:31) ...The Manager & customers harpin' on Alice (1:32) are to indicate that she's more nurturing & caring to CHILDREN, than demanding, rude ADULTS (2:48) ....goes to show, you never know what ya GOT....(3:20)
I just thought of that. Obviously not a direct connection but that Alice is working in a diner. Linda Lavin would play a character named Alice who works in a diner a few years later
As a kid we first thought the tv show 'Alice' was about Alice from The Brady Bunch. Only we thought that Flo was Alice because of the similar hairstyle.
@@ChargerBullet Did you ever see the movie that inspired the 1976 sitcom (the drama/comedy/romance "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore")? It won Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist, Requiem for a Dream) an Academy Award. And the actress who played Flo in that movie, the wonderful Diane Ladd, would play Belle on the sitcom "Alice" after the character of Flo was written out of the show (actress Polly Holliday got her own show, "Flo", which quickly failed) but Ladd didn't even last a whole season because she supposedly didn't enjoy being on the show. You mentioned the hairstyle ... I love Flo's strawberry blonde beehive do. And her catch-phrase "Kiss my grits!"
Robert Reed refused to be in this episode because of issues he had with the script. Luckily they found him working in a diner and convinced him to come back
If only everyone could have a job where they feel loved and appreciated.
i wonder if that cafe had a sign on the door that say whites only
I’d settle for just appreciated
@@waynedexter I was going to say that
I don't need the love, hell don't even need the appreciation. Ill take just being recognized. Saddest part for me is Im the damn owner.

Alice was probably the most loved character on any sitcom, ever.
(Mary Tyler Moore would be a close second. )
Mr Foster in 3rd
I'd put Edith Bunker at #1.
I would’ve told Mr. Foster and that customer off. Alice was like a grandmother to the kids. Such a great episode.
That was Mr. Foster. Mr. Phillips was Mr. Brady's boss.
@@snake9911 oh that’s right. lol 😆 my bad! I will edit it
@@tonyrehal218 Don't worry. I wasn't meaning to correct you. A lot of people get mixed up with characters on shows like that.
Season 4 goodbye Alice hello😊
That boss should chill out.
Fun fact the same people who are in a hurry will also take their sweet ass time deciding.
The coolest thing is Ann B Davis (Alice) was the wholesome glue that kept those kids out of trouble on set. Its why you never heard of them getting in serious trouble..In essense, she was the real life Alice.

Those kids got into a lot of trouble if you believe the biographies
What are you talking about those kids were wild.
@@nicoleackerman205 Off set defiantly. On set, it was a different story.
When TV left you smiling at the end..
You do realize that these shows still play on tv, right?
@@waynedexter duh! But they don't make 'em like this anymore. That's ok though, it's a different time.
@@jamesrichey2434 “duh!” Well alrighty then. Thanks for that 😒
@@waynedexter Sorry, no disrespect was intended, in jest
@@waynedexteryou missed the point
Im glad the kids went to the restaurant. Alice was so happy to see all of them!
We love Alice.
This made me cry
It really does feel amazing to say goodbye to a job you can't stand, in exchange for one you know you love.
"Too much caramel fudge sundae makes too much Marcia."
I always loved that line. 😂
😹 You couldn’t get away with that line anymore, body shaming
I guess they share the same outfit with the guy that says miss do you mind. Watch Davy Jones the producer is wearing the same outfit! Lol
I´ll use it for me. Too much chocolate make too much Laura.
@@RB2331 Damn, I took that the wrong way then. I thought she meant Marcia would get hyper.
classic lines😎
Ann B Davis was the BEST and so loved on this show.
Yes, she was. She and Maureen were my two favorites. I loved them both. May Ann B. Davis rest in peace. Peace.
She was good as the truck driver in the 90s Brady Bunch movie too.
One of my all-time favorite episodes, I could feel the genuine sense of love from Alice ... and the kids. So heartwarming.
Genuine and authenticity are two words you hear a lot lately. Especially on social media. Folks are really thirsting for it. So much so they’re willing to project it onto scripted sitcoms, respectfully
Alice was my favorite on the Brady bunch 😊
She walked in on Jan getting her first thick freckled facial all over her glasses
@@brooke8567 Was it from Peter? Or the fake George Glass.
We love you Alice!
I'm 61 yrs old man i miss dressing cheesey going to jr.high school 1977 1978 &1979 😢
I miss this show but I don't miss high school
Be appreciative/grateful that you got to appreciate Jr High then and not now
Im sure you looked great in the maid uniform 😂😂
I’m 61 too, 62 in December. I wouldn’t trade our 70’s 80’s youth for any other era.
Todays kids dress like 🤡s
Ann B Davis was so good, her timing and expressions are great: ''Passing by??" then her expression, at 1:07.. then ''That's interesting, you all go to different schools"! She was totally on to them

I loved Alice. So sweet
That smile Alice gives when she turns around and sees the kids is truly memorable
Now Mr Foster will know how it feels to deal with rude customers
“Two fruit cups” - lol
I think Alice was my favorite adult character in the series.
One of the best episodes and the only one that made me cry!
This scene still makes me cry 😢.
Too much caramel sundae makes too much Marsha - fruit cup for you chubs.
wow, mr foster really has to regain control of his staff!
Miss being young!
Pulls up the chair lol
Alice was such a great actress she'll be sadly missed. When Alice said to Mr foster these are the Brady's he said marvellous and these are the customers perhaps I should arrange a time for to spend more time with them all day if you get the point.
We must have watched the same video
She was awesome
I love Alice, too.
Feel good factor is always high with the Brady Bunch. 🙂
When Cindy said, ' We love you, Alice '.............🤧
That's the exact phrase Alice needed to hear:)
That poor guy is still waiting for his order to this day 🤣 If you watched the series closely, he was also the same guy who was engineering the Davy Jones singing session, and he was one of the proud parents in the episode where Bobby is in the ice cream eating contest.
I thought I saw every Brady episode and I cannot remember this one
Robert Reed refused to appear in this episode on the premise that Alice would never have left the family just because the kids were upset with her over such a minor thing. (They thought she was squealing about little accidents or misdeeds they had caused, even though she was not). It was so awkward when Alice said good bye to just Carol even though it was Mike who had hired her and who knew her for a much longer time.
The restaurant manager didn't seem to realize that the Brady kids were customers, too. She appeared to be the only waitress on duty, she could only handle one order at a time and there were six of them ordering food.
Agreed. But with that said that other table were there first and probably had their order ready before the Brady kids even got their menus
Thanks, Master of the obvious.
This was unrealistic, as were many of the plots in the show.
@@rn6710 It's TV land. When you movies and TV shows, you are entering into a fantasy world. What about Married With Children? If Al Bundy was that poor, there is no way they would be living in a house like that. It's impossible to support a wife and two kids on a shoe salesman's salary.
The way Greg was stern and to the point when he said, we miss you Alice
In an alternate ending Alice said “you brats are garbage, I ain’t coming back”
I remember watching the Brady Bunch as a kid.
The show would not have been so good without Alice.
we’ll have Cindy to tell blue suit to cool it
Do you know what I just realized remember TV show documentary about biography book of Life story ture life movie all about the Brady bach movie made
Come on, Alice! It's been 45 seconds!
3:04 is he talking about firing her? Because if he is, then that would kind of make his question "Where do you think you're going?" odd. Suggestively, she agreed to the termination.
I kind of wonder what their fruit cup looks like. A cup with different fruits in it? Or one of those mini cups with the juice inside and peelable cap?
Happy endings rule!
Oh wow thts a classic tht show an other change th world 🌍🌍
We’d all like to be Alice at least once in our lives and just walk off the job.
Most people can only do that after winning a lottery.
My favorite episode ❤
Mr Foster also works or owns the magic store peter bought his tricks from.
Gives some insight into his frustration in this clip. I don’t think he ever got over losing that magic shop
I guess they were short on actors. On Three's Company, there was one actor who played a restaurant owner, a dentist and a psychiatrist. Same actor, three different characters.
At first I was thinking where's Flo and Vera?
Flo would've said "Kiss My Grits" to the customer and her boss.
Omg!!! This made me cry!
As a Manager he should be picking up the slack...
I agree first of all I would help second of all the six kids have their right to order and ask questions. I mean, I’m gonna get to you when I get to you. I gotta help these people out.
Love this episode.
I thought it was sweet the way Alice knew everything about the kids when they were ordering food..
I’ve never seen a manager yell at a waitress for taking an order, like she wasn’t doing her job.
1:20 "THESE ARE CUSTOMERS TOO ... "
These are The Brady's!
I hope she got a raise and an extra week of paid vacation time.
Alice just took that guy’s order in the blue shirt and he was automatically expecting his food. What was he expecting a pop-up meal? This wasn’t a fast food restaurant. The boss was also a jerk. The Brady kids were customers too.
He thought she was the Star Trek food replicator.
He was there BEFORE the Bradys...I'd be irritated if the wait staff bypassed my order for others...
@@toAdmiller She DID take their order but it had to be COOKED you know. This was a diner not a fast food restaurant. Did you even watch the clip?
@@Brandon-lw1wx I DID watch the clip and I did not see ANYWHERE where Alice took the order of the other table, nor where the guy in blue asked specifically for their order to be brought to them...Can you supply me with a clip where Alice DID take the order of the guy in blue or where he asked for their order to be delivered...?
@@toAdmillerIt was cut off in this clip. Perhaps watch the whole episode.
they missed Alice bossing them around, ruining their otherwise fun and carefree childhoods. 👍
And ratting them out. Supposedly a few years after the show ended Bobby had a drinking party and Alice sang like a canary to the parents
Yes she was
That boss reminds me of Mel who had his own waitress , Alice
The fact that a busy diner doesn't bother to secure the bottom of the blinds from flapping on the door just irks me.
Back when they automatically served you water before you order.
I know, right?? I remember those days...
A very long time ago! When I waited tables around 1980 or so we didn't automatically give the customers water, but if they asked of course we gave it to them.
Every diner I've been to has given water at the start without us asking for it. Nicer restaurants, not so much.
Some restaurants still do that actually
@@Mr_Belt1 Not the ones I've been to.
That’s funny, Alice is working in a diner
Alice's Kitchen!
She should have gotten a job at the butcher shop her boyfriend owns
Ba dum cha!
Imagine if she bought it, Alice's restaurant. And a guy named arlo Guthrie came in and was hit with a song idea....
@dave1135 that's crazy 🤪
Loved these shows. What happened to Hollywood?
Social media and narcissm happened
Sherwood Schwartz was a fantastic director. He knew how to create feel good shows.
Obviously, Mr. Foster needs to hire additional waitress'! One is not enough for super impatient customers!
Foster did the best he could for that restaurant and don’t you ever forget it
❤Alice
this episode😎
Alice's boss at the diner made Lucy's boss Mr. Mooney look like boss of the year.
Or Mel at Mel’s diner in ALICE
That’s the same restaurant where they iced Tony soprano
Everyone can make fun of Alice...we ALL wish we had an Alice.
However if Alice wanted to spy on the house she'd take an Uber or Lyft now. No cab.
I've had a few Mr. Foster's in my time
So have I. I think we all have.
She went from a live in job, with decent accommodations to having to pay rent, on waitress tips? Smart move.
She was temporarily staying with Kay. Not sure if Kay was charging her rent or not.
Ms. Garrett was my generation’s Alice.
Of course Jan doesn't know what she wants.
Jan wasn't wearing her glasses 🕶️
Leave Jan alone! 😫 She's the "special" one.
Wow that customer was worse than a 2024 Karen looking for the manager.
Alice told them to kiss her grits

forgot that alice became flo.
Something tells me that that set was reused in the sitcom Alice. I mean Alice Hyatt, not Alice the maid.
❤i love it
Alice looks good in pink.
Jan showed Mrs Brady her thick freckled facial all over her glasses and Carol showed her the big freckles on her shoulders from tanning with crisco
Jan needs a freckled facial

Alice looked really good in pink 👍🏾
She graduated from the university of Michigan. You can find her thesis in the library on central campus.
what was her thesis about?
Alice said, "Naww, y'all worship the devil. I'm good here "
Why didn't Vera or Flo get those people's orders.
Robert Reed refused to be in this episode because he felt it was unrealistic. He did the same thing for the final episode
It's a sitcom, for crying out loud. It's TV land. When you watch movies and TV shows, you are entering into a fantasy world.
@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 I knew that. Apparently Robert Reed didn't
This is what’s wrong with the world today.
Not growing up with The Brady Bunch.
Her boss and the guy yelling miss do you mind are very annoying.
Boss could've seen to that guy's problem instead of nagging Alice. Why should he be more important than the Brady's, they were ordering.
Very unprofessional manager! You don't admonish an employee in front of guests! It's embarrassing and inappropriate!
If she was taking too long at a table or blatantly slacking off by sitting down, he should have asked to talk to her, pulled her aside, and then firmly instructed her to stand up and get back to work.
They are very rude too!!
Yea. Hint: they’re supposed to be.
@@MacAnderville😂😂😂 it’s 1972 and a goofy sitcom. I think Mr Foster today would have had his sensitivity training.
So cute
Jan was my favorite
Woke..love Jan, the endlessly neurotic, insecure whiner.
@@PhilAlumb I don't really see that...her complaints seemed valid... mostly
Alice
Marcia wasn't boring at all, for some reason I would feel very sleepy after watching her
Marcia Brady ASMR 😊
Is this the same set as Arnold's in happy days?
....ironic, that Alice would wear the SAME uniform that Linda Lavin's 'Alice' would wear in 1976! ..ha-HAAA!

that diner has a host? fancy.
Good job Mr. Foster now you have to take care of the customers all by your damn self
6 people in that one booth. Damn we have gotten fat
