      I've always thought that was odd, myself. I knock when I go to my own brother's house. The only thing I can come up with is that they just have people (Fonzie, Larry from Three's Company, Dwayne Schneider, whomever) walk in without knocking as a time saving device on an already short program.

                I shoulda made this a post about the Brady Bunch. (But that show doesn't bother me!) And I never watched Seinfeld either.

                  Acknowledged.

                  The fatal bit for me, was that your words seemed to echo others opinion across the Internet, so, even w/benefit of the doubt, it was still difficult.

                  As far as what appears to be HardyGirl's implication of an impolite threadjack, regardless of opinion of thread-relevancy of Brady-annoyances, dang, I wish I remembered Bellows' character more... I liked IDOJ a LOT back in the day... I can GUARANTEE that I saw almost every episode of IDOJ... except it was a long time ago!

                    The one that you're referencing as a "grand-daddy" may not be a grand-daddy in the TV history timeline of "no knock entrances", but it is VERY significant in the COURSE of the timeline, because as someone mentioned earlier, the "no knock enterance" IS indeed an acknowledged time-saver device for sitcoms.

                    Kramer's enterances are a deliberate satirical commentary on that very thing. Funny that his enterances rooted in self-reference have become the definitive example.

                      Wow, I'm sorry I touched a nerve. I'm sure Carol Brady was a hardworking trophy wife.

                      And to get this back to Sharry's point, yes, Dr. Bellows was a jerk. Jeanie should have just mind-wiped him or something.

                          With me it may be a nerve of sorts. But only in the sense that I think our perspectives are skewed. Take the idea that our culture was different 40 years ago out of the equation, andI still had my own 1970s Mother that was actually in a simillar homestead position to Carol, and I 've never considered my Mom a golddigger. Maybe kinda lazier than most regular working-women, but she was a good Mom, doing Mom stuff in spite of that (stuff beyond "trophy" behavior). I think Carol was simillar.

                            I don't know Mikey. I'm thinking Lenny & Squiggy's IS my personal favorite sitcom door entrance. Nothing better comes to mind.
