Squeaky Clean

As you know The Brady Bunch is known for squeaky clean image and also its goody-two-shoes characters. However in the season four episode “Goodbye, Alice, Hello”, there was a scene that was considered much too racy to be entirely shown in syndication. Bobby and Cindy, who are both wearing bathrobes, are standing in the kitchen and are talking to Alice when they plead with her for permission to attend a skinny dipping party at their friend’s house. Alice refuses and says that no Brady child will go to “some x-rated party in their birthday suit” if she can help it. This was the scene that was routinely edited when it’s shown in syndication, as it has suggestive subject matter.
