The Brady Bunch Goodbye, Alice, Hello (1969–1974) Online

An incident between Peter, Greg and a Frisbee inside the house leads to an antique lamp in Mike's den being broken. Alice is aware of the boys breaking the lamp, which Greg and Peter try to repair without their parent's knowledge. As such, the boys ask Alice to keep their secret from their parents, which she vows to do. But when Carol discovers the lamp has been broken, Alice is caught between her vow to the boys and the fact that she has never lied to Carol. As such, Alice feels like she has no choice but to tell the truth to Carol. Subsequently, Carol asks Alice a seemingly innocent question about who used the record player, that person being Marcia, who apparently left the record player running all night. Both the boys and Marcia get punished for their deeds. Because of these incidents, the kids feel like Alice has betrayed them. All six decide to give her the cold shoulder. Feeling now unwanted and unloved by the kids, a heartbroken Alice, using the old excuse of a family ...

This is the first of two shows in which Robert Reed did not appear.

The music cue that plays when the broken lamp is shown, is the same music cue that is used for the taboo tiki idol in the Hawaii episode.

Alice's replacement is Kay played by Mary Treen who had a similar role as housekeeper, albeit with more emotional attachment, on the sitcom The Joey Bishop Show during the 1960s.

Mrs. Brady asks Alice who was using the stereo. Alice tells her it was Marcia. But when Alice quits her job and leaves she leaves the stereo there. Alice won the stereo in a contest in season two "The Tattle-Tale". She said she would put it in the family room so everyone could use it. The stereo was hers so she should have taken it with her when she left.
