    I want to see the episode

    where Carol Brady finally loses it. Here's a story of a lovely lady,
    oh please! She was stuck in a box from the opening theme
    to the closing credits. No one wanted to hear about Carol Brady.
    Sure she had that episode with her art sculpture, but really, what else?
    A bad traffic court episode that really didn't prove anything or expose
    her inner being. Besides hemming the girls' dresses (which she couldn't
    seem to handle without Alice holding the pins between her lips), some dull needlepointing or occasional shopping (even though Alice did all
    the cooking), what did she have? Did she just tell Alice, Oh give me a list, and I'll have Mike drive me while you stay here and do laundry.
    Maybe she was jealous of Alice, everyone loved her, she's the one
    they went to with secrets; she had all the great ideas. Yes, maybe
    she was jealous of Alice when she went to that Meatcutter's Ball
    with Sam, afterall Mike never took her to dinner. A peck on the check
    when he got home, and she'd ask how his day was but if he were to ask her what would she say? Would she scream, I can't take it anymore! I'm climbing the walls with boredom! I'm losin' it! I can't stand
    not having a plot, blending into this set, being a prop! Just throw me
    a decent line already! Why do YOU get to solve all the problems!?
    Just because you're the fancy architect doesn't mean
    I can't contribute!
    Yeah, I want to see that episode.
