Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Another hectic week at "The Alan Brady Show" is over, and head writer Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) looks forward to a relaxing weekend. Only one problem: Rob has completely forgotten that he promised to secure 44 tickets to the next "Alan Brady Show" telecast for the New Rochelle PTA. A mad scramble to scare up the necessary tickets consumes the remainder of the show, which is capped by a typically unexpected twist. If the actress playing Mrs. Billings sounds familiar, it is because Eleanor Audley supplied the voice of the evil queen in the 1959 Disney animated feature Sleeping Beauty.
