As a result, the horse was cut in half and put in Greg's bed. The only real problem, according to Greg, was that it was the wrong half. <br /><br />By the way - the Partridge Family upon further viewing, was actually very funny.

I suspect most sit-com writers had serious gambling problems and spent most of their writing sessions wishing they were at Santa Anita. They wound up writing about buying a race horse so they could out a trip to the track on their expense account.<br /><br />Either that or they kept plots on 3x5 cards and pulled them out at random. "You want to do 'Greg winds up with two dates for the prom' or 'Marcia breaks her nose before a big date'?" "Neither -- let's go to the track. I got a tip on the fourth race."Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-21507478497400477232014-06-04T09:06:16.172-04:002014-06-04T09:06:16.172-04:00My favorite inexplicable but obligatory sitcom plo...My favorite inexplicable but obligatory sitcom plot was when the characters acquire a racehorse. It seems to occur in any classic show that runs long enough. And why? Does everyone secretly yearn to own a racehorse? Is there an old vaudeville routine this cliche is based on?<br /><br />Did they ever do this on the Brady Bunch? I never watched a single episode, although I watched the Partridge Family, so it isn't that I had too much good taste.Beveridge D.
