Introduction
The show almost got canceled during the fifth and final season! The ratings dropped so badly. The team tried to boost the ratings by introducing Cousin Oliver. Sadly, he was unable to save the show. Today, the term “Cousin Oliver” is used to describe any young character that was introduced in an attempt to save a show from cancellation.
A Year
Did you know that it an entire year took place between the pilot episode and the season two premiere? No wonder everyone noticed how much older the Brady children looked.
