Question
Hi there, Chris!  Like you, I'm a Bradyholic and know tons of trivia about the show. I first became addicted at the age of four when my babysitter Linda would have me watch two back to back episodes on Channel 48.  Anyway, here is my question for you...  As you're probably aware, almost all of the stations showing BB reruns edit out a few minutes of the show to squeeze in a few extra commercials. One example I can specifically remember is when Jan is buying her "new Jan Brady" afro wig, she first tries on a purse, thinking it is a wig.  I haven't seen that segment on a BB rerun in years...  ANYWAY...  I swear I can remember a certain scene that also was cut out, but I've almost convinced myself I'm hallucinating because it is rather risqué.  Here's the scene:  Bobby and Cindy are heading out of the house to take a swim in one of their neighbors’ new swimming pool.  As they’re passing through the kitchen on their way out, Alice notices they're both wearing bath robes.  After she asks where they're going dressed like that, they tell her about the pool party.  Alice pops open one of their robes and gasps in shock because both are in their birthday suits!!!  After they explain that's how the neighbors told them to dress, she forbids them to go and shakes her head in shock at the new "liberal" neighbors!

Sooo...  Is this a real scene or something close to one?  My memory of it may have changed over the years.  If you could, please let me know what episode (if any) this scene is in.  If it helps, I'm pretty sure it was Season 5 as Cindy had her braids at that point.

Thanks in advance for you help!

I want to first apologize for the delay in responding.  I answered this question about a week ago.  Evidently my response never went through.  
    I remember this "scene".  Both Bobby and Cindy are in bath robes and Alice stops them as they are going through the kitchen.  I just can't remember the actual Episode where this takes place.  I know it happens at the very very end of an episode.  You are correct when you say it would have had to taken place in Season 5 or later.  

Since they were walking to the pool, my only thought is it could have been their neighbors the Ditmeyers new pool.  Not sure if that makes sense.  It's possible one of the other "experts" might know.  I'll keep researching.  If you get the answer, please let me know.

Happy Holidays
