Appearing as Johnny Carsonʹs guest on the TONIGHT SHOW, actress Shelley Winters, repeating an incorrect wire service story, mentions how sad she was that Jerry Mathers, the former star of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, had been killed in action in Vietnam. How did the false rumor start? Both AP and UPI, in listing soldiers killed in the fighting, confused someone whose name was similar with Jerry Mathers with the actor himself.

In 1972, In a Brady Bunch episode called “Everyone Canʹt Be George Washington”, Peter tries out for the role of George Washington in the school play and ends up as Benedict Arnold, Peter is such a good actor that the teacher decides he can handle the role of the traitor better than the lead.

When Archie discovers whatʹs up and races to the hospital, we see the love he canʹt express, and weʹre set up for two things: good news about Edith and one unforgettable punch line. One can only imagine how many women who saw “Edithʹs Christmas Story” gained the knowledge and courage to pursue treatment that saved their lives. Itʹs hard to think of a more profound Christmas gift.
