Guess Who's Coming to Dinner <br />1st Aired Week of 9/14/85 <br /> <br />The Lawsons' neighbors, the obnoxiously idiotic Brindles, discover Vicki while barging in to “borrow” the Lawsons' frig and threaten to stumble over her secret. Notable scene: Vicki back-talking to Ted (foreshadowing Vanessa!) and Vicki's berserk encounter with "Rodney," a Heathkit toy robot. <br /> <br />This episode introduces snoopy (and not particularly well liked by fans) Brandon and Bonnie Brindle. One must strongly consider nepotism, what with Brandon being Ted's boss. A Vicki pinafore upgrade, refinement of her (its?) trademark rolled ponytail and a new robotic lightbox [back panel] which will evolve through three generations in the series. <br /> <br />Production Title: "The Neighbors" <br />Completed: ? <br />Show no: 102 <br />Written by Ed Jurist <br />Directed by Peter Baldwin <br />Producer, Budd Grossman <br /> <br />Guest Cast: <br />Brandon Brindle: William Bogert <br />Bonnie Brindle: Edie McClurg
