"Tank" is played by actor Denny Miler. At 6'4' Miller actually was not an all-American football player but was actually a basketball player for the UCLA Bruins at UCLA. Miller also became the first blond Tarzan in Tarzan, the Ape Man.
I honestly thought it could have been Robert Reed's brother. Look at his face--it seemed similar. Did you ever read Barry Williams' book "Growing Up Brady?" It has a lot of fun insider stuff. Maybe one day Eve Plumb will write a book! 😂 I bet you're in your late 50s. I only saw an episode or two of the original airing. Friday night on ABC? I was probably 8 before 3rd grade began in 1974. The real Brady cult formed in syndication .
This episode is proof of Mike’s love for Carol. He allowed a throwback clown from Carol’s childhood manhandle his wife, put his feet on his furniture and play touch football in his living room. Mike was the absolute measure of a gentleman.

I know, belieeeeve ME.....
Usually I hate the jealous husband trope storylines, but this time, I’m on Mike’s side- this man is definitely coming on strong. Twinkles? Read the room!
I think in this circumstance, the trope was definitely flipped on its side! Mike might have had a tinge of jealousy/protectiveness when Tank picked up Carol, but it was fun to see that he quicky became relaxed started casually eating snacks when if was more than obvious that he not only had nothing to worry about, but Carol would be even more grateful to have Mike as a husband once the guy left.
This episode would’ve been very different if Gene Hackman was actually cast, like he was supposed to be. Mike would have dragged Tank up the stairs and thrown him down the stairs, and would have proceeded to drag him back out to his car.
I hope Tank didnt step on an unpicked up pile of Tigers deuce in the Brady's front lawn. Or else its now all over that couch. Being that the Tankster put his shoes on the Brady couch. lol 😂😂😂
There was a similar episode in I Dream of Jeannie. Jeannie's "ex" was a black belt in Karate and played football at Notre Dame and thought Tony was a big nothing. (Jeannie blinked him up though he wasn't real.)
So, I really do not get this. In an earlier episode, the one that focused on Cindy's lisp, Carol said that she also had a lisping problem as a child, and that it was especially bad for her because she grew up in Swampscott, Massachusetts. However, this episode, and also the one where her grandmother visits, pretty much reveal that she grew up somewhere in the Heartland. This dude and her grandmother did not have New England accents!
D. J. Trump - 2024. Make America Great Again. Let's make gas prices great again Make food prices great again Make home buying great again Make American values great again TRUMP 2024 -FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GOOD THINGS AMERICAN
"Tank" also played some guy on "I Dream Of Jeannie" who was after "Bunky [Anthony] Nelson," because he thought Bunky was trying to steal his girlfriend. Enter Jeannie to the rescue, but that's another show.
Bingo. Had to explain to an old GF I was absolutely not interested in meeting her last BF. She was actually hoping we could all be friends. Shoulda bailed right there. Nope. Surprise, she’s an ex-GF.
@brinsonharris9816 I almost broke up with my wife (then girlfriend) because she asked "Do you mind if I hang out with my ex boyfriend? Just like, coffee or lunch". It was a tense few months after that. Luckily cooler heads prevailed.
@@eastleford20 I was a kid when I first saw this ep, and thought Carol should not have even asked and told Tank to get lost. Tank, I’m married for the second time and have kids. Go away. Mike wasn’t happy about it either, but the writers had to teach us a lesson about jealousy, I guess. Of course they made Tank a dolt, so no problemo.
What a total pain in the butt this guy is. I'd be ready to throw him out before he even crossed the threshold. Seems he hasn't had much to do since high school since he remembers every detail of some game he played way back when. Reminds me of an episode of the Waltons where John's old army buddy comes to visit and all he can talk about is the old days when they fought in the war (WWI) and he hasn't moved past that and made a life since the war. Tank hasn't moved an inch since high school. For all his bragging, he was not an NFL star.
Mike is a low-key master of sarcasm.
Carol’s haircut is just gorgeous here

I was just thinking that she wears it well
Back in the days when women actually HAD hairstyles.
Well, it does look better without that long fringe she has in the back curling on the bottom on both sides.
Robert Reed's acting in this was genius!! Excellent comedic timing!
Yes it was
Too bad he hated the show.
“Boy did you luck out fella!”
“My mother thinks she didn’t do too badly either”😂😂😂😂
Which is funny because Mike's parents never showed up at the wedding in the first episode 🤣

oh that UCLA...the one that plays at UCLA, thanks
@@brucesmith1544I noticed that too. I suppose that he could have been a USC Trojan playing at UCLA.
@@milesmayhem5440 I honestly have no idea what you're saying
He also played “Toby” in the Incredible Hulk tv show. A football player with anger issues. Also Gilligans Island.
Tank is probably a janitor at the high school he and Carol attended.
LOL.
😂😂😂
yes and still dating the cheerleaders
I know a Janitor and no it's not me😅 but he has a decent pension and lots of paid time off. There's worse jobs out there.
“I heard it” - Mike Brady 😂. LoL That line always makes me laugh. 😂 The way he said it was genius. 😂
😂😂😂
Tank: "Just don't get a chance to get here anymore"
Mike: "How did we get so lucky this time?"

HE WAS GAY!!!!!
@@jsmith6436wow that's breaking news.
@@jsmith6436.... it's a tv show and Not real. Are You aware tv shows are make believe?
Buck Owens looking Bass
Carol looks great in that dress.
She really did. I love that dress
That blazer Tank is wearing though. Reminds me of a Keebler Fudge Stripe cookie.
That is a perfect description😂😂😂
😂👍
A Keebler Fudge Stripe Blazer that smelled like Vitalis, Brylcreem, and Brut 33.😂
It really is a hell of a blazer. Faux(?) leather lapels and stripes, alternating with velour(?) and a bright red lining. It's certainly memorable.
@@demophys4883 Never noticed the red lining (satin?) until you pointed it out. A very bizarre piece, even for 1973.
Tank played football without his helmet.
😂😂😂
THAT'S why he reminds me of Grump! Total meathead.
but he never scored 4 touchdowns in one game.
@@metsrus We know that Al Bundy wore a helmet when he played.
I always get a kick of the go answer the door and it surprises to see just how many special guests come on to that show
Denny Miller--first rate in Everything he did! 👍
Tank must be related to uncle Rico.
Bet he could throw that football over that mountain.
What a guy!
TWINKLES!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hank was played by Denny Miller. I enjoyed the banter between Mike and Carol.
As silly as it sounds, his name was Tank. 😂
The actor was also on Gilligan’s Island, at least two episodes.

@@MrEdwardCollins Thanks for that. I just loved him, so kooky and well-played. He cracked me up.
@@MrEdwardCollins Yeah, thanks 😊. I saw him in Wonder Woman. He put up a pretty good fight with her in one scene. It was pretty cool to watch.
You can really tell Denny Miller is having a lot of fun doing this scene!
Oh, boy ... that jacket!
That was 70's chic .
I thought Carol always said not to play ball in the house.
It was a pillow but I was waiting for him to throw it and break something!
Season 5 quarterback sneak😊❤
Could end up breaking Carol's favorite vase.
“Did you hear that Mike, me still in high school?”
*snickering*I heard it”😂😂😂
Biff Tannen vibes!
I thought so too.
Denny M also played Moose Mason in an episode of I Dream of Jeannie and Tongo the Ape Man in an episode of Gilligan’s Island.
And Duke Williams the guy who arrived by surf board on Gilligan's Island.
Ginger fainted and he carried her away
He was also a regular on Wagon Train.
@@jaredjlinden What’s that?
@@timothykozlowski2945then Tongo fainted and the ape carried him away. 😂
Perfect timing with the magazine when Tank puts his foot on the coffee table!
I actually forgot how funny this episode was, Tank running around the living room looking crazy 😂😂😂
Perfect definition of "peaked in high school."
aint it great? lol
At my 20 and 30 year reunion, they still try to fit in their letter jackets, and recall tales of the big game or party.
Not really. He was a college All-American and 3 Time All-Pro in the NFL.
@@steelerbacker58 - Guess he peaked in college then. LOL
@@Deephouse_Gent66 Uh no, he was a 3 time All-Pro in the NFL.
Mike is still my pick ❤️
Minus the perm though.
I just watched this episode yesterday.😊
Denny miller played tarzan in 1959 and the gorton fisherman commercials.
was on gilligans island 2xs
Tank never forgets anything 😮😮😮😮😮
Denny Miller! He was a beefy dude who could play both comedy and drama pretty darn well..

@@princess7strawberry Mike was more interested in Tank than he was Carol.
I just adore Denny Miller😂
Tank was big man on campus
Mike was just jealous he didn't get to get with Tank.
He was also surfer and apeman on Gilligan’s Island.
Duke & Tongo!
This episode would’ve been very different if Gene Hackman was actually cast, like he was supposed to be. Mike would have dragged Tank up the stairs and thrown him down the stairs, and would have proceeded to drag him back out to his car.
I wonder if this episode inspired the idea for the Brady Bunch 2 movie.
But seriously, who acts like that at someones house? Lol 😂😂
This is really funny
I hope Tank didnt step on an unpicked up pile of Tigers deuce in the Brady's front lawn. Or else its now all over that couch. Being that the Tankster put his shoes on the Brady couch. lol 😂😂😂
Nobody ever took off shoes in that house. Kids reading/doing homework on the bed with shoes on!
@@JohnnyUtah-71 , must of been a late 60's early 70's California thing? My Parents would of been mighty po.'d at me for all of that. lol. 😁
There was a similar episode in I Dream of Jeannie. Jeannie's "ex" was a black belt in Karate and played football at Notre Dame and thought Tony was a big nothing. (Jeannie blinked him up though he wasn't real.)
Tank’s jacket kinda wild
Tank had the biggest ego! Did not understand what Carol saw in him as a person?
I have never seen this.
In Barry Williams book, "Growing up Brady", he describes Tank as, "the guy with the Donald Trump hair".
Did u know the actor who played carol’s high school sweetheart also plays moose Bonnie’s husband on i dream of Jeannie
Yep.😂
Imagine if tank came charging towards mike saying hit em low and hit em high.
Big Buck Owens looking Bass.
I'll leave u two lovebirds alone. In fact would u like to use the bedroom? Actually u can just take the house.😂
So, I really do not get this.

Good catch!!

As Tank throws around Carol, groping her in the process, Mike remains uninterested...
She's so tiny compared to him
Mike was jealous. Of Carol.
I guess Carol's old flame Tank is Uncle Rico
That guy is more childish than the kids.
Tank was on Gilligan's Island
Wow, Tank just emasculated Mike bigtime, and right in Mike's home too.
Tank reminds me of Wilbur Terwilligerock, Wilma's HS boyfriend in the Flintstones episode "Jealousy." He was also a real douche.😱🙄🤦🏿♂️
emasculated! So true........and hilarious!

Hell yes!
Hey there George
TANK is on coke!
Looks like Martin Kove of the Karate Kid older brother
Yeah, with that attitude, he could've been him if he had Mike's curly hair.
Tank never had the makings of a varsity athlete...
Wow, I never knew Trump guest starred on the Brady Bunch. ;)
Nobody knew at the time that Mike was hoping carol left him and tank alone.
I wonder if those were Denny's clothes in real life.
I wouldn't doubt it! 😂
@@Micheleh2o Haha.
You know, his head is kinda shaped like a turret.
Isn’t he the surfer dude from Gillian’s Island?
Ok tell me ole tankers not on coke lol
its mike not mac
Tango the a p e man from Gilligan's Island
carol looks hot here. great dress. tank looks and sounds like trump. lol
Sad to say, Tank was more likable than Orange Foolius.
This guy and his braggadocio are too much to handle... even for a less than four-minute clip. 🤮
Looks like Carol still had the hots for old Tank. I wonder how many times Tank slipped it to Carol underneath the bleachers?
That dude was "Tongo" on Gilligan's Island.
Seems Denny Miller was often playing a meathead. But truth was when given a good role, he was a pretty good actor.
To think, Tank only came over because Carol wanted to mess with Mike
I hate these people who can't let go of their high school glory days
Carol was probably a carousel rider.
Mike was handing out towels in the locker room...... if you know what I mean
Sadly, Tank died of ALS in 2014.
3 offensive linemen?
This guy obviously has CTE
Wyoming Bill from The Party!
Carol was starting to have regrets she didn’t hook up with Tank.
If this was Carol's first man, just imagine how messed up Cindy's Jan's and Marcia's father must have been
They needed to show Carol in a bikini.
That jacket is the pefect choice to set off alarms about a loud and obnoxious character, not to mention the Trump vibe
Mike Brady has a man crush on tank.
Totally inappropriate she had an old fling come visit her. Very disrespectful to Mike Carol needs boundaries
Mike was the only gay architect in the town where the Bradys lived.
being closeted Mike was probably wanting to play center. couldn't play tight end 4 obvious reasons
