Must see Peter and Greg lesson in dating. Greg has the distinct honor of going out with one of the classiest young ladies on campus, but who also has a visiting cousin... who will be all alone. What to do?
Bring her along!
Enter clumsy, awkweird Phil Packer, played by Peter, who is supposed to be a real swinger and a friend of Gregs. This completes the double date, and talk about a disaster.
Again, shades of LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE --teen style-- where everything goes wrong. For one thing, Pete ain't a good actor; he has trouble with his voice (which is hilarious) and his moustache keeps falling off. Embarrassing to the max.
In the meanwhile, as Brady luck would have it, Mike and Carol are entertaining a Spanish client and his wife, who are very conservative folks, treating them to a business dinner. Yes, they wind up at the same restaurant Greg, Peter and their gal friends happen to be.
One not to miss, and its a gem. Character actor Paul Fierro plays Mike's client, who often played villains. Linda Gibboney (Linda), later became a soap opera regular on SEARCH FOR TOMORROW and SANTA BARBARA.
According to notes, Chris Knight said he was a bit scared playing the scene because he hadn't been on a real date, but he comes off the best. Chris was a natural, and the guy all us guys back in the day were fans of.
10 Stars. From SEASON 5 remastered color ABC/Paramount dvd box set. 4 dvds. 2006 release. Check out the cool cover, a collectors item.
