Question
Hello,

I was reading this fabulous response you gave in (June?) 2004 regarding Robert Reed's disgust over the script for the Goodbye Alice episode.  Also, that there was another episode following what we know to be the final episode (Graduation) in which Mr. Reed did appear-May I ask you which resources you use as references? I thought I owned them all, but you provided the most complete answers I have ever come across.

By the way, I am so happy to find out that there are others who adore all things Brady as I do!

Keep on singin' and dancin' all through the night,

Ali

Answer
Hey Ali
Great job with the boxing career - ha ha ha, just kidding.
Actually I didn't answer anything earlier than 2006, so not sure who answered anything from '04.  And it was the other way around - he was so disgusted with the final episode, Robert Reed refused to appear in it (but sulked behind the cameras) and they said that he was "away on business" in the show.  Not that any caring father would ever choose a business trip over his own son's graduation.  

Anyway, believe it or not, my knowledge came pretty much from the internet and Barry Williams' "Growing Up Brady" book, which was fairly detailed.  If you don't have that book, it's worth getting!
