The Brady Bunch Episode #11

Episode #11 “54-40 And Fight”

In this episode, we discover that all six of the kids share the same hobby -  collecting trading stamps! However, once they discover that the stamp company is going out of business all hell breaks lose.

The girls have saved 54 stamp booklets while boys have only 40 books. So, what will the Brady kids do? Alone neither party can get anything of value as a prize so they decide to combine their collection to get one good prize.

So, what do they want to get? The boys want a row boat while the girls want a sewing machine. So when neither side gives in Mike and Carol (the parents) step in and complicate matters even further. Instead of making the kids compromise on a prize they suggest that the kids battle it out over building a house out of cards. Whoever knocks over the house loses their stamp collection and the other wins. Wow!  Talk about some competitive parents.

After a long tense matchup, Tiger jumps on Greg while he was placing a card onto the house causing him to fall into the table and lose the game. So the girls not only won the boys stamp books but their pride too! However, when the girls go to claim their prize they decided that they should get something everyone could enjoy. So instead they got a color television!  Thus a new battle began – fighting over what to watch.  Maybe they should have picked a pay phone?  Sorry that already happened in episode 9.
