I admire Kay for setting clear boundaries between her work life and personal life. She's the real MVP.
"She's Alice. I'm *Kay* ."
Exactly 👍🏻
She probably has one of her own kids still living at home. Lol. Why would she want anything to do with her employers kids? Lol. 😜
- Give me a - K
- Give me an - A
- Give me a - Y
What’s that spell - KAY!
😂 Gat Damn, that was funny!!
The moral of the story is don't take anyone for granted.
Be grateful for the people in your life
AMEN! ❤
I disagree. I think the moral of the story here is "don't be a dick to the maid."
AMEN!!!!❤🙏
Being grateful for the ppl in your life is great as long as those ppl don't hurt you in any way, physically, mentally, sexually, financially etc... those kind of ppl you want to get rid of fast. If your a kid tell your parents, your teacher, school counselor, police etc...someone you can trust and let them handle it. If the person you trust doesn't do something right then and there tell someone, anyone until they help. Don't be afraid to tell, even if the person hurting you told you not to tell bc they would hurt you or someone you love, bc it's not true. I know they can't hurt me anymore, bc I was brave like you are, and told my teacher and that person went to jail, so the bad person can't hurt you if you tell, ***I promise.***.
***God bless you and anyone else whose is being hurt.***
Too bad most of the people on the board missed what sticks out like a sore thumb..........
Am I the only one who appreciates Kay’s work ethic?
I do too, but she carried it a little too far. Alice may have let herself get too close to the family and got her heart broken but Kay's total hands off approach was too cold.
You are.
@@alondralabute2310 While Kay made it clear to Alice that keeping the job less personal is best, it also seems Kay was going to the extreme to keep things cold for a reason. She wanted the kid’s to realize what they’d lost in Alice. It is Kay who reveals to the kids where Alice got her new job, so the kids could find her and beg her to come back.
@@EastSide-qc5oy I know. So the job didn't mean anything to her and you have to wonder why. She had to make a living didn't she? She had an apartment to pay for. I always think of the practicalities even on a fictional TV show lol.
@@alondralabute2310 Well, Kay didn’t seem too worried about landing her next gig before Alice asked her to take over. She wasn’t desperate, and kind of had to be talked into taking the gig as a favor for Alice. Maybe thru her housekeeping service she knew she could find something else pretty quickly. Maybe she was already getting requests for other assignments, and perhaps her friendship with Alice and the desire to help make things right between Alice and the kids became more important. And maybe we are both analyzing her character’s situation far more than the writers ever intended haha.
On minute your a teen watching all these great shows the next your a Senior Citizen watching the reruns. We used to laugh at those Mrs Fletcher comercials "I'm falling and I cant get up!" Now we ARE Mrs Fletcher 😂 😂
too true - time flies so fast - I was reminding my sister the other day about a public service announcement from the 70s about alcoholism - The drunk husband grabs the car keys and the wife says "don't take the car - you'll kill yourselllllllllllffffffff!" and the screen shot would freeze and that last word would reverberate - we would totally make fun of that one (even though in retrospect not so funny. But as teenagers we mimicked it all the time along with "I've fallen and I can't get up!". Who's laughing now - my kids and grandkids at me and hubby.
Bahahaha! I'm right there!
LOL that is so true.
I may not be considered old, but I do have an old soul, of sorts.
Im currently 39 and was raised on older sitcoms like I Love Lucy and other shows that eventually came to Nick at Nite and similar platforms. I still enjoy The Golden Girls and other sitcoms far more than the current sitcoms and other more modern classics, like Friends (I thought that Friends was too corny and the characters were mostly too over-the-top unrealistic to be relatable). Besides, The Golden Girls is MILES ahead of Friends, in the funny department.
I dont have Twitter, Snapchat, or InstaGram downloaded on my phone and have no idea how to use the Dischord App that other people my age insist I use for group conversations.
Not in my twilight years yet, but still feeling very relatable to your comments. I swore that i would never be as old-fashioned and out of touch as my parents were with me and my cultural icons and phenomenons, yet here I am!
* you're = you are
And the next minute yore eating kfc in the sky
The Brady kids were horrible, entitled little brats for treating poor Alice like that! Alice was more than just a housekeeper; she was part of the family!
Yes but there children so they still have time to learn
Alice was the housekeeper.
@@Rebecca-n7n Alice was more than just the housekeeper, she was part of the family!
Maybe it's another reason why child hearsay testimony without any evidence should not be used as proof of innocence or guilt against adults
Now step away from the computer and look outside
"Sometimes when you push people too far, you can't just bring them back again." True. Everyone reaches their limit and says "Enough is enough" and that's it.
Please tell that to my job and apartment landlord
@@MsDisneylandlover I'll have to let you deal with your own job and apartment landlord. We have enough to contend with our own apartment landlord (or maybe we should call them overlord)?
Plus
Too Much is Too Much
No More means No More
Never Again means Never Again
And....
Well the next two levels are pretty extreme
Happened to me. I had a sister with Bipolar 2. Every day was filled with tension and there was almost always a fight. Growing up with an older sibling like that was unbearable. She cuold be kind and selfless...but was very brittle and impulsive. The impulsiveness got her into a lot of trouble and she never leaned to have a filter. It was very toxic and draining. Finally after smarting off to my in-laws and causing a scene...and then badmouthing me and my wife...I finally cast her out. She was no longer my problem. She tried to reconcile but I was done. Its been 13 years now and I can't say I miss her. It was an adjustment but well worth it in the long run.
@@whatareyoulookingat908 Don't you have empathy, knowing her problems?
Well played, Kay.... Kay was being a cold fish on purpose so that the kids would realize their big mistake. It worked.
She even told them where to find Alice at the restaurant she was working at.
@@cambonious23 It was just a half a mile from the railroad track.
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont Ha ha, good one. (tnaruatseR s'ecilA)
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont You can get anything you want!
@@B-and-O-Operator-FairmontArlo Guthrie works there, too
6 kids and a maid, Mike was killing it
and a wife that didnt work.. she had it made
And 1 bathroom lol
Mike batted for the other team !
@@jbtornadoyeah she lived during a time when men knew how to make enough money for wives to not have to work
He was a renowned architect in California during the 70's. I'm sure he was getting big money to design rich people eccentric homes and businesses!
Alice doesn’t really want to deal with passive aggressive brats anyway.
Besides, she's better off in Phoenix working the diner!
I see what you did there. 😁
I think that she should have sent her cousin Emma.😅
I never ever forgot this episode of The Brady Bunch, or how upset the kids made Alice. I felt really bad for Alice when they showed her crying at Kay's apartment. I never forgot what Mrs Brady said at 3:24 - 3:31: "Sometimes when you push people too far you just can't bring them back again!" I thought that was very good advice to always remember.
You don't appreciate what you have until you lose it.
_Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot_
I want my house back
story of my life
That was Alice. I'm Kay. Mic Drop.
My favorite line in the entire series! I still use this once in a while when I'm compared to someone else, but very few people get the reference. The ones that get it though, really GET IT. 🙂
@@timtriolo4421 probably worth all the odd stares to get the very few people response
Right. Hahaha
A friend and I used to do that too 😆
Meh, these 2020+ something terms.............
Alice doesn't live here anymore. She moved in with Sam now she's helping him with his meat.
🌭
😂😂😂😂
Carol has a great life in this show. She doesn't have to work to afford that nice house and someone takes care of the house work.
Yeah but her husband's gay...that couldn't have been a walk in the park for a straight woman. hahaha
@@DrClaw-y2lon the show he was straight
On an architect’s salary…questionable. Maybe Mike was a partner in the firm.
@@SnowDaulphin Back in those days cars were about 3k and houses under 30k. Even with a regular job you can have a lot of stuff.
@@dbtech4562 different days. I saw a Columbo episode and he got a job offer from the murderer. the murderer asked what he made and I think it was $11,000.
"That was Alice, I'm Kay...." 🥶
That woman played Cousin Tilly (of the Bailey Building and Loan) in "It's a Wonderful Life".
Mike, Carol and Alice were the model for gentle parents.
Knowing when to be gentle but also knowing with to lower the boom without going overboard like most parents of the time!
Boy Carol couldn't survive one afternoon without a maid lol they replaced her while the kids were at school Alice left and they found her uniform that matched😅
LOL. THAT was the reason she was so pissed off at the kids!
Right
She's busy doing all that knitting and those Wesson commercials. God I'm old. Does anyone else remember her pedaling wesson oil?
@@shawnfitzgerald818 i do!
Alice hired her own replacement so as to not leave the family without help.
Please pay attention children.
Alice couldn't take it, so she up and left. The kid didn't know what a gem Alice was, until she was gone.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?

Can't be the Brady bunch without Alice in the house.
One of the greatest family sitcoms of all time, especially the great 1970s, then came Eight is Enough which was also Fantastic!!!!!
2 of my favorite shows😊
I love All in the Family and One Day At a Time too.
I say….all life lessons can be found in the Brady Brunch.
"Eight Is Enough" kind of drifted into Soapville frequently. A little too much drama for what was supposed to be a sitcom.
@@MisterMikeTexas Yes it was a dramady with canned laughter but Dick Van Patton and Adam Rich made the show very enjoyable!!!!!
If I were Alice, I'd never go back to those entitled brats.
I absolutely LOVED when Carol laid into Greg and Marcia like this. It was the only time in the entire series she seemed to do so, and it showed two things: The show had the potential to take on a more serious tone (like the kind of show Robert Reed seemed to think he was originally signing up for and wanted the show to be), AND it showed that Florence Henderson was just as capable of somewhat more serious dramatic acting as she was of lighter sitcom acting. She sold this scene with only a few lines and makes you believe Carol means business.
I 100% agree with you....Florence Henderson nails this scene. She showed she could carry the show if they moved on from Robert Reed (who is not in this episode due to a scheduling conflict)
hear, hear!
Looking back it's also amazing how Florence Henderson has absolutely incredible on screen chemistry with Robert Reed (classically trained actor) Ann B Davis (legendary comedienne) and Maureen McCormick (child actor)
A similar rare strongly written and performed scene is when Marsha loses the Juliet role for being a diva, and Carol delivers the blow.
Florence always had the stern lines when need be...however, I'm actually surprised that nobody even thought about how weird it is for Bobby and Jan to agree with Greg, Marcia, Peter and Cindy on the ice-out? Really the youngest boy who Alice was specifically brought on for and the middle child who she connected with? Or even this one...on the off chance Bobby did have bad behaviour (which is the least out of any of the kids), wouldn't Carol have gone "Bobby Brady, I am surprised at you being as much as I dislike the word, a little stinker!" instantly?
Robert Reed skipped this episode because he didnt think it was realistic that Alice after all these years with the family would just quit over a misunderstanding
Marcia and Greg sure do spread sunshine around
I feel like I've entered a parallel universe; I've NEVER seen this episode; it's freakin' me out.
Me too. I thought I saw all the episodes. I don’t remember this one at all.
Same here. I don't seem to remember this episode at all.
At first, I didn't remember it either, but seeing the thumbnail _"The Brady Kids Beg Alice to Come Home..."_ (in the recommended videos section) jogged my memory...
U & me both! But I still believe the girl in Moonraker HAS braces!
@@DeltaKnight I wonder if A.I. made it.
It just never gets old.
Lol "That was Alice I'm Kay "
Powerful lesson to CONFIRM what you believe BEFORE you behave as if you’re right.
The kids didn’t deserve Alice.
Alice probably got tired of being a slave to this family...In real life, the kids are old enough to help out and so was Mrs. Brady.
Yeah but $ talks & 🐂💩 walks. Big Architect paid her well & she was like a Mom to the boys b4 Carol.
kay knew why alice left, so whe was guarded and chilly with the kids.
I always remembered the line "That's Alice. I'm Kay". We used to say that all the time as kids.
I've always remembered "The Golden Spoon at Fourth and Oak."
The "replacement" maid was Mary Treen ( cousin Tilly in "It's A Wonderful Life" ).
3:21 I agree with Mrs Brady saying your sorry just doesn’t make a difference
This one was so memorable! “That was Alice. I’m Kay”.
Wow..... the subtlety of the writing. The moral of the story, is an enigma, people have speculated about for 50 years.
*Carol should have punished them!*
"Greg go mow the AstroTurf that doesn't grow in the backyard!"
"Marcia, wash the glass sliding doors that don't have glass in them!"
"And the rest of the brats can take turns cleaning the non-existent toilets!"
Wow. What a sucky house... But what a breeze to be housekeeper there! 😸
This was a 70s" show. Everything had to be solved in thirty minutes.
No kidding, Carol can learn to cook, the girls can learn to wash dishes the boys can learn to do laundry they can all learn to vacuum and dust furniture. A lot of kids back in the 1970s had to do all the household chores growing up.
@@woxyroxme Look what happened when Bobby tried to do a load of laundry. ONE load!!!!
@@JohnnyUtah-71 😂 It wasn't even a load it was just his good clothes😂
@@dezeraejames9698 it was a full load, he just forgot to check the dry-clean only label.
The kids went too far! Carol was right in what she said.
There was a lesson being taught with this episode. Was well done. This show gets dismissed as so much fluff. But the characters of the parents were quite good at actually teaching life lessons, particularly about how to treat people and so on. I didn't grow up with when it was first on the air but later with reruns. I was on my own a lot as a kid. And I think I actually learned a lot.
I think that's what contemporary society hates about these shows, that they were too "preachy" and all they want is entertainment.
The kids were being brats like the monsters now days. Thankfully I never had kids.
No one can afford 6 kids, a maid, a 2 storey home & one income in 2024 😅
0:37 wow Alice quit didn't say goodbye and they replaced her with her taller body double with the same uniform in the same day LOL
Since Mike was out of town during all this, I wonder if Carol even bothered telling him about it. Alice was there when he left and was there when he returned, so why re-open the can of worms?
I never knew Mike Brady was a p/t detective too , I saw him on several episodes of Mannix I never knew that until watching an episode of Mannix an equally corny version of a fictional detective series in the 70s , man I miss that ! It was great !!
It’s rare that you see either Mike or Carol scolding the kids and it was certainly refreshing to see Carol lay it on the line to Greg and Marcia 👏
Love how Carol put Greg and Marcia in their place. Not just them but the rest of the kids. They had no right to treat Alice like that. What they did was mean and inconsiderate especially to Mrs Brady. I’m also wondering why Mike Brady was not in this episode.
Why is she "Carol" in the first part of the sentence but "Mrs. Brady" in the latter? Someone has said that the star playing Mike was not available due to scheduling conflicts.
Back when the show was still in production, I met Eve Plumb, Marcia, Barry Williams, and the Dad. First, during the Summer of 1971, over at my cousins’ house (Barbie & Brenda), I played with Eve Plumb for nearly half a day. We played frisbee, basketball, badminton, etc. Near the end of the play day, Eve finally told me who she really was, but prior to that, I already suspected who I had been playing with. Two weeks later, at the same location, the Dad, Barry Williams, and Marcia showed up. At the time, we called it _The Berry Bunch meets The Brady Bunch._ The thing that really surprised me was when Eve told me how old she was. You see, even though I was about to turn 6-years-old, and I was taller than Eve, Eve was actually already 13-years-old, if I remember correctly. But I will never forget what lovely skin Eve had. All over Eve’s arms, she had lovely velvety blonde hairs.
Yes, a 5-year old was taller than a 13-year old. That totally happened!
@@jasonthewatchmansson8873 In my elementary school, I was the 3rd largest kid in my entire grade. Jan (aka Eve Plumb) was very short for her age. Possibly, back in the Summer of 1971, I might have misheard what age she told me, but I know that the number she told me revealed that she was MUCH older than MY age, at that time (which, for myself, was almost 6; we met in either June or July, and my birthday is in August.) The moment upon which she told me was a very emotionally revealing moment for Eve. All that day, she had been a happy, playful child. However, on the moment she told me her actual age, the smile on her face suddenly changed to a frown. She looked me right in the eye, as she immediately said...
_"That's the price for being a child actress. You lose your childhood!"_
You see, play dates, out in a rural area, were very rare for Eve. For a few hours that day, she got to re-live some of her sacrificed early childhood. Between myself and my two next-door-neighbor female cousins (Barbie & Brenda; Barbie is one year older than me, while Brenda is one year younger than me), on that moment, I instantly felt like Eve lucked out, because the 3 of us (Barbie-Brenda-Me) were the best hands she could have possibly "fallen" into!
That sounds great! I'm glad you got to have that experience
Yep, at 5yo you're as tall as the average 14yo....this story checks out.
@@subaruthug I seem to recall that Eve said the number 13. In that moment, she definitely revealed that she was much older than I was. In about two weeks, I was about to turn 6. Eve's actual age, at that time, could be verified. It happened during either June or July, in 1971. No doubt about it, I was definitely taller than Eve was. For her age, at that time, Eve was definitely not tall.
Sometimes when you push people too far you can't bring them back again. - Mrs. Brady
I was going to say, that didn't look like Alice at all in the thumbnail to me... now I know why.
yep
Same. I was wondering if it was from "The Brady Bunch Movie."
I thought I was experiencing the Mandela effect thing! I was ready to throw hands! 😅
Moral: kids are monsters.
And that doesn’t go away when they’re adults.
@@sirtrently77 go away? It gets exponentially worse.
The writing on this show was insanely awful. It has aged very poorly……if i ever ran into people talking like this IRL, I’d walk away. Quickly.
….and debate calling CPS.
Good thing you were never a kid. How's adulthood working out for you? @@sirtrently77
No. 2024 adults are...........
@@polarfroge They just don't make people like they used to. I hate today's people!
Sometimes you don’t know what you got, until it’s gone.
" That was Alice I'm Kay".. Wellll Kay grab the basket ball or else!!!! U hear me!!!
STILL love every episode, they never get old ❤
"THAT WAS ALICE. I'M KAY" CLASSIC!😊👍
Titled is Alice is Leaving, which was taped November 24, 1972.
I guess "The Brady Bunch" was rapidly running out of gas at this point. The series had probably already "jumped the shark".
Friday
@@MisterMikeTexas This was season 4, after Alice even when to Hawaii with them, and Robert Reed didn't even appear in this episode.
Airing a new episode on Black Friday. How times have changed.
2:11 damn Kay is savage as fuuuuuuuuu
*...IT'S BACK!* ...nice that the "BB" channel is posting again (after 2 wks.) .... now.... EVERY ONE of those Kids grew up w/ Alice, because she RAISED them! ...If anything, the Girls can move on easier from her (coming into a blended Family 1:06), but it's clear to ANYONE she had personal interactions w/ them, that she BECAME 'Family'.....TELL 'em, Carol... (3:27).....
I remember watching this as a kid and feeling sad for Alice
Alice was a part of the family since the show began
The show implies that she was the housekeeper for Mr. Brady before he married Carol. Maybe Alice came in after Mr. Brady's first wife died? The show implies she did die and they weren't divorced.
Btw....Carol's last name was MARTIN!
@@curtpiazza1688Correct. In the pilot, Alice was with the Bradys the morning of the wedding
@@curtpiazza1688 Alice was there before that happened. It was mentioned that she was brought on specifically for Bobby, she was present at Bobby's birth...Bobby was probably born with something that necessitates Alice being there.
@@Superlad9494 Interesting.....thanx! 😊
I never understood why they needed a maid Carol didn’t even go to work 😂
To annoy the kids.
We sure do spread sunshine around.
Hate it when my maid quits and i find her clone to start work immediately
Oh Alice came back because she's THAT good😉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Poor Alice. My heart breaks watching this episode.
This is the episode had had the weird scene where Bobby and Cindy are on their way to a nude swim at the new neighbors' house--and Alice stops them. I thought that was nutty even in 1972 when I watched it as an eight-year-old. (I understand that scene has been deleted from some prints.)
Yeah never saw that
Kay is a total mood
I loved the Brady Bunch!
Ahhh, I'll bet Alice is just having a go at Sam the butcher in a hotel room.
Key seems like the kind of person who keep the warranty for every appliance
Sad episode....happy ending! 😊
3:25 I wish jobs understood that with employees
Alan: Aren't you supposed to be funny
Walden: I'm not Charlie
Alice was probably tired of cleaning that one bathroom between the six of them as well.
Kay don’t play.
Get out of her way. 😆
How long way Kay looking in that fridge??? It doesn’t take that long to find one fairly large bag
The actress portraying Kay played several characters on the Andy Griffith show,including debute episode the new house keeper.
I like those times better than I do these. Hope I have a change of heart by the end of this year.
I remember wanting to be a Brady! Their parents never yelled at the kids! Not like my house! 😅
the kids never abused Alice before, so when they abused her it was a horrifying shock! She couldn't handle it, she rushed out in tears.
"Sometimes when you push people too far you just can't bring them back again"
i miss the wholesome shows with life lessons mixed into them
Aaaah, the shoes on the bed!
I know it makes people cringe, but it really isn't a big deal unless you have dog mess on your shoe.
Well I say never bite the hand that feeds you.
The kids are lucky they didn't get a visit from Sam the Butcher 😅😅
Florence Henderson was such a fox
I used to have a crush on Marcia. Now I see that Carol was the real hottie.
Alice was the real hottie and you know it.
Greg approves this message
She was so good in "Family"!
Kay was played by Mary Treen, who had over 200 acting credits. You’re thinking of Sada Thompson.
It's good Alice eventually came back or the show's producers would have to fix the center square mid-season. Extra expenses.
Don't you know it seems to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone
I love that TV show
I never heard Miss Brady talk like that
Kay looks like Mrs. Garret's (Diff'rent Strokes/Facts Of Life) twin.
Alice quits and they have a replacement (Super Kay) before the little brats get home ---all in one day?????
Now I know what Jessica Hahn must have felt like.
Don’t take people who care about you for granted- goodbye can be forever.
THE KIDS WERE REALLY UNFAIR TO ALICE AND SINCE KAY WAS HER FRIEND SHE DID NOT LIKE THE WAY THEY TREATED HER AND CAROL GOT RELLY UPSET AT THEM
Keep Kay, she got sh*t done instead of causing trouble and snitching like Alice did
ah the Brady punch !!!
Go mrs brady! Tell them!
Love these shows….
They could have made a spinoff series “Alice Does Dallas”.
G rated of course!
Kay was no nonsense do the work and go home attitude…Alice’s absence showed the kids they lost their third parent and friend, the cool one.
I bet Alice came back before the episode was over!
she did
@@agoogleuser1035 I knew it! 😄
